Do you ever feel like you should have achieved more?
Do you ever feel like you should be more attractive?
Do you ever feel like you should be fitter, faster, taller, richer, leaner, smarter, more accomplished and more accomodating to others?
We live in a world that tells us that we’re not enough.
So we work ourselves to death and then blame the systems and people that have preyed on our weaknesses.
There is no such thing as success without sacrifice.
You have to make sacrifices to succeed.
Dopaminergic drive will only push you so far.
At the end of the day you have to draw a line in the sand and establish some healthy boundaries.
Establish a routine that prioritises behaviours that lead to more serotonin release, dopaminergic addictions will make it harder for you to release serotonin. Serotonergic behaviours are not as addictive as dopaminergic behaviours, but they’re more sustainable and will make you feel better in the long run.
You have to have a personal life.
You have to have intimacy.
You have to have alone time.
No amount of money or adulation will ever fill you up, you have to fill yourself up.
Society won’t do it.
The media won’t do it.
Your family can’t do it for you.
You have to put back what you take out.
You can only push yourself and be your best if you remember to take care of yourself.
Get enough sleep, meditate regularly, read educational inspiring books, exercise enough and nurture your relationships, if you have any.
True happiness comes from within.
Fill your own cup properly so you can help others to fill up theirs.
You can only give your best if you’re feeling great.
Meditation, reading educational books and exercise will make you feel amazing…
I meditate for at least 4 hours a week.
I read positive, inspiring, educational books on neuroscience, psychology, philosophy etc.
I also love running and Kung fu.
Get inspired and spend time with some inspiring people.
That is the best solution.
Then you’ll feel like you’re good enough!
If you burn yourself out you’ll never feel like you’re good enough, you have to love yourself before anyone else will love you.
How have you shown yourself love today?
