as Ernest Hemingway noted the world
breaks everyone and afterward many are
stronger in the broken
places but my question is why isn't
everyone to me it comes down to the
strategies that you use there really
isn't anything objectively good or bad
there isn't anything that happens to you
that can't be overcome there isn't
anything that could happen you anything
that when you turn inward you can't find
a reason to overcome you can't find a
way to put those pieces back together
and that becomes your job it becomes
literally up to you whether you're going
to sit and wallow and woe is me because
what happened happened and there's no
way to take it back but how you
respond what you bring to that table
whether you meet fire with fire whether
you meet that adversity with falling AP
heart becoming weaker in the areas that
broke or you bind them and mend them and
it becomes like a well that literally
makes you stronger is a
choice and it's a choice only you get to
make but as Stephen Hawkings said when
you complain nobody wants to help
you there are many things in your life
you have every reason to complain about
you have every reason to to be upset by
the things that have happened to you the
most Sinister thing about excuses is
there valid there's a million reasons
why you should be able to give up
there's a million reasons why you
shouldn't need to try that thing that
broke you you should be allowed to just
sit on the ground and here's the thing
that's your right you have every reason
to do it and maybe people won't even
think less of you but here's the truth
you either become weaker or stronger in
the places that broke and that's a
choice of how you react act moving
forward the great news is the best thing
that you could do to become stronger is
love
yourself and as Kamal ravikant said
loving yourself is a
practice people think that it's
something that's going to feel right
that it's going to feel natural that
you're just going to turn inward and
there it is the spark of love and joy
for yourself inside yourself but the
truth is that's just not The Human
Experience that's not the way that it
works there's going to be a voice inside
your head and it's going to blame you
it's going to say that it's your fault
and no matter how many times people on
the outside tell you that that is not
true that this thing happened to you
that it isn't you it doesn't Define you
there will be a voice that's going to
tell you that it does and that's where
you have to fall back on process that's
where you have to realize that you
literally have to practice loving
yourself and that it's okay that no
matter what happened there is absolutely
nothing that
invalidates that you're worthy of your
own
love but you've got to practice it
you've got to be willing to do it you've
got to be willing to put in the Reps
you've got to know that it's not going
to feel right but you've got to know on
the other side of that is a vision of
your life where you actually do love
yourself because you took the time to
say it you took the time to practice it
you took the time to sit there and feel
stupid and say that you love
yourself and sometimes just putting in
the work is what you need to do to get
strong so put in the work
