Yourself

Eight billion people on the planet. Find yours.

Out of all of them, only a handful are actually for you — your people, the ones you’re on the same path with. You don’t have to be loved by everyone. You just have to find the few.

But before any of that — put the oxygen mask on yourself first. You’re the one person you can never walk away from. Spend your whole life next to someone you can’t stand, and it’s hell. Spend it next to someone you genuinely like, and the rest takes care of itself.

You must want to spend the rest of your life with yourself first.

Take care of yourself first. Put your own mask on.

And once you’re solid in yourself, people lose their grip on you.

You can’t turn a person in witness-consciousness into a victim by poking at their ego. They’re flexible — they just change their behavior and move on.

Don’t try to raise everyone around you. Raise yourself.

Don’t raise your kids — they’ll turn out like you anyway. Work on yourself. — Stoyanov

Fix yourself first, and the work in every other room gets easier.
