Keep the promises you make to yourself

We make promises to others we wouldn't think of breaking: our spouses, friends, our business partners our coworkers. Yet, we have no problems breaking the promises we make to ourselves. "I won't waste time on useless sites", "I'll stop procrastinating", "I'll do better", "I won't lose my temper", "I won't drink anymore", the list goes on and on. We let ourselves break those promises, even the same ones over and over. How much longer will we let this go on? We wouldn't tolerate this behavior from others, yet we do it to ourselves.  "Self-esteem is just the reputation that you have with yourself. You'll always know." - Naval Ravikant. No one else may not know but you always will. How many more promises are you going to keep breaking to yourself? Is this how you would treat your family and friends?

Free Will

we all have a meeting with our fate
we are all destined to do what we came here to do
we all have that moment when we realize this is it
we are the choice to act on it or not

our fate chooses us, we choose to do or not to do
if you free will not to do, your life may be fine but it will not be fulfilled and there always be a longing

if you fate, you will become fully realized

Good Thing about Regret

           We all have regrets. Things that we wish we had done differently, things that we believe would have be “better” if we had made a different choice. If we only had tried harder, pushed more, turned left. We tend to dwell more on these things when times are hard or we are in trouble. When things aren’t going well, we tend to narrow our vision of the past on things that we believe would have led to a different outcome.             Perhaps if we done some things differently, it would be different. Those changes would have a ripple effect on your entire life. The things bring happiness now would also be different. If you were conceived a few minutes later or before when you were actually conceived, you might not exist. No more you. We may have regrets about some of the choices we made, but we also have the good things with those regrets.

Family is Part of Your Identity

 Family for good and bad, will always be a part of your identity. If you are fortune enough to have had a good family, then it can be a source of pride and belonging. Even if you grew up with the worst family, you can't define yourself without acknowledging their influence on you and thus being a part of your identity. How you view them is up to you, however you can't eliminate them from your identity.
