The most successful person in social relationships is not the perfect one, it’s the one that’s not afraid to show its weaknesses. Sincerity is more valued than perfection. No one would feel excited about having a dinner with a perfect person. It would be boring at best. If you reveal your vulnerability, people will most probably like you because they would be able to recognize themselves in you. Don’t try to imitate anybody, just be authentic, and embrace who you are because no one else is you.
It’s also very important to remain faithful to your true nature. Choose kind, stay open and curious, stay brave, stay loving, stay innocent, stay pure, stay young… You will never grow old if you keep your inner child ageless. Try not to let negative thoughts overwhelm and frighten you. I think playfulness is a very serious business. Play as much as you can and feel alive with every breath you take.
– George Bernard Shaw
Life has always been an adventure. It should be coming with its lot of surprises; it should be unpredictable in a good way. If you ever feel jaded, whatever the reason, just remember that it’s not worth it.
Never give up on the kid you were and embrace your funk. Life is not a checklist. It’s neither serious nor logical. So become in union with the universe and enjoy every moment. Sometimes, you just have to let go a little bit more. You don’t need to know everything that’s going to happen.
Do what you have to do and let the universe play its part. What’s going to happen is going to happen. Life is fun and eccentric. So forget about the ego-drama and treat your life as the comedy it is. Love and laugh as much as you can, because nothing else matters…
