Some things I read and heard, and thoughts formed in recent weeks :

The only way out is through.

Fear is the enemy of pleasure.

Let your your higher self be your anchor.

Early failure is the price of long-term success.

Real growth is the kind that quietly rewires the soul.

Breakthrough innovation redefines the rules.

Don’t lose your marbles over other people’s drama.

There is something fascinating about people who observe rather than speak, who process rather than react, and carry pain in a way that doesn’t demand attention.

Be emotionally available to yourself.

Competition and jealousy in business is a booster, but in relationships is a red flag.

“She is fascinating because she is both vulnerable and strong, both lost and on the cusp of finding herself.”

In the crowded space of showing empathy for everyone, don’t forget to show empathy for yourself.
