 The best compass for life’s decisions:
To minimize future regrets 
 Participate in your curiosity 
 Done is better than perfect 
 Are you nice because you choose to be or because you’re afraid not to be? 
 Healing doesn’t mean the scar’s gonna go away 
 We all are bad in someone’s story 
 What’s the cost of your inaction? 
 You will change, once you realize the cost of not changing 
 Living in discovery and courage and failure and success > living with fear and safety and assumptions 
 Don’t make people who love you fail, by forcing them to read your mind

 Anxiety kills creativity. 

Our mind needs safety to think divergently and explore ideas. Anxiety constantly grabs your attention towards what you’re being worried about. 
 Quality takes time 
 You can’t be creative and coward 
 Narcissism is often taken as confidence, while it actually is rooted in insecurity. 
 If you’re afraid of confrontation, remember that you get people’s respect if you stand up for yourself, massively. 
 Authenticity > Perfection 
 Life’s lessons can get lost if you never pause 
 An amazing advice I got from a very successful person today:

“Do it early. One day life will catch up with you.” 
 “Grass is always greener on the side that’s fertilized with bullshit”
