I like to remind myself that no one ever actually sat me down and promised me a life free from struggle. When I expect a life free from struggle, I find myself mired in resentment every time I encounter a problem.
What feels gentler to me these days is to remember that a good day is a day where the only problems I encounter are ones that I already know how to solve from previous experience.
On days when I come upon a problem that I’ve never had to solve before, I try to recall that I’m building an easier day for myself that I’ll get to enjoy later on. Nice!
I love ending e-mails with "thank you in advance". Like what are you going to now? Not do the thing I already thanked you for? Bring dishonor on yourself like that? No? I didn't think so. Check mate you have been played by the master of manipulation.
Happy 1 year anniversary to the incredible video/single of “No Bad Days”!! 🥳🥳 which means also the first anniversary of the first video Dan directed 👏🏻👏🏻 congrats, man!! @bastilleuk 😄😄
I’m not exaggerating when I say this post changed my life. Seeing this as a terrified self hating 17 year old was like finding a fresh water lake in the middle of the Sahara.
