People who can’t communicate think everything is an argument. People who lack accountability think everything is an attack.
THE 5 BY 5 RULE
If it’s not going to matter in five years, don’t spend more than five minutes being upset about it.
Ambitious people buy skills. Lazy people buy distractions.
BE SILENT IF…
Be silent if you don’t know the full story.
Be silent if you feel unable to control your emotions.
Be silent in the heat of anger.
Be silent if your words can destroy an amazing friendship or relationship.
Be silent if you are unsure about the topic or lack knowledge.
Be silent when someone is sharing their struggles and vulnerability.
Be silent if you can’t talk without yelling.
Be silent if your silence can save your bonds.
Be silent if speaking will only serve to boost your ego or seek validation.
Be silent if your words can betray someone’s trust.
Working out will make you feel weak when it’s actually making you stronger.
Learning new things will make you feel dumb when it’s actually making you smarter.
Investing in yourself will make you fee broke, when it’s actually making you rich.
Facing your fears will make you feel terrified when it’s actually making you braver.
Have eyes that see the best in people… A heart that forgives the worst… A mind that forgets the bad… And a soul that never loses faith…
