No Life Is The Same, Not Exactly. Though We Are Connected Though Our Experiences No Life Mimics Another.

“If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete”

getting the most out of life

so often, i notice people living online - consistently doomscrolling or playing meaningless games. i think that they forget how life is the journey. you need to make sure you don't miss it.

know yourself understanding who you are at your core is crucial. reflect on your values, passions, and strengths. this can help lead to a more fulfilling life.

set goals define what you want to achieve in life. having clear, actionable goals gives you direction and purpose. if you don't know what you want - then you have to get out and try things! experience! understand what you want and don't want for yourself.

stay healthy take care of your physical and mental health. regular exercise, a balanced diet, and mindfulness practices can significantly improve your well-being.

be present focus on the present moment. enjoy the small things. being exposed to social media and electronic devices from a young age has lead gen z to information overload and stress.

studies show that we experience higher levels of anxiety and depression compared to previous generations. try mindfulness to promote relaxation and emotional regulation. learn how to return yourself to the present moment - to be able to get offline, and out of your own head.

build relationships surround yourself with positive, supportive people. strong relationships can provide emotional support and enrich your life.

keep learning this is something that i will forever preach! never stop learning and growing. whether it's through formal education, reading, or new experiences, continuous learning keeps life interesting.

the ability to see more beauty in the world is a skill. the more beauty you see, the more comes to you, the more you create yourself. so much of the disempowerment people feel is because they are trained to see the ugly and negative in everything. you have to unpick your mind from the lure of negativity and train yourself to find beauty. if you want a beautiful life, it starts with learning to find the beauty everywhere.

All studyblrs out there, I just wanted to say:

YOUR NOTES NEED NOT BE BEAUTIFUL

OR PERFECT

THEY DON'T NEED TO BE IMMACULATE

CROSSING OUT IS OKAY

CROSS IT OUT AND TRY AGAIN. THAT'S LEARNING.

Your notes CAN be beautiful, perfect, without mistakes. In fact you should be proud of them. But at the same time, crossings out do not make notes any less valuable.

"But ohh they make it look ugly" "ohh but crossing out means I got it wrong"

NO!

You did good.

Crossing it out is recognising that you got it wrong.

Let me ask you this:

How would you know it was wrong if you didn't know what was correct?

The crossed out section is a testament to your learning and I think you should take pride in that as well. Nobody is perfect.

I want to see your imperfect notes with little scribbles and jottings.

Capture the essence of the feverish scholar frantically noting down their ideas as they rush towards a new horizon- their breakthrough. Their ultimate discovery. The thing they've been working on for their entire life.

Capture that essence of "I must, because it has to be done."

But again, at the same time, make them pretty! Put effort into their making! It's no different to a piece of art.

Your notes can be however you want them to be. They are for you and nobody else. If you take pride in them, their purpose is fulfilled.

Thank you for listening to my TED talk.

“ There are a few things in life so beautiful they hurt: swimming in the ocean while it rains, reading alone in empty libraries, the sea of stars that appear when you're miles away from the neon lights of the city, bars after 2am, walking in the wilderness, all the phases of the moon, the things we do not know about the universe, and you. ”

the worst thing you can do is get stuck in wanting. it’s safe and easy to stay with the longing and desire, the yearning and wishing. it’s a seductive state of mind that can feel deceptively productive. but are you taking real, purposeful, intentional action? daily? because you can keep making all the vision boards, “planning” in your head, and watching others get what you want on social media… but none of that matters unless you act. imperfectly and often, with real physical movement in the real physical world. action is an energy that will draw what you want toward you, but you have to move.

Strangers to friends then strangers again

“Things never end the way you expect them to. Though our time with each other was always vibrant and loving, the end came suddenly and spineless, without send off or ceremony, slipping away quietly into the dark. An ordinary moment, like any other, that just happened to be our last.”

— Beau Taplin
