1. Don't be content with being the smartest nikka in the room. ( Always strive for higher heights)

2. The one who lands the first good hit in a fight usually wins 80% of the time. (Make your opportunities happen instead of waiting for them)

3. Pain builds character, but it can also consume you if you let it. (Everyone goes through shyt, whether it molds you into greatness or failure is dependent upon you.)

Cool thread.

1. You can only control your own actions, other people are gonna make their own choices and do what they want. Don't take on other peoples issues, but take responsibility for your own actions.

2. Changes don't happen over night. You may decide to change a habit but it is going to take time, discipline and dedication. So don't beat yourself up but be aware. Take every hardship as a learning experience and grow from every mistake. Take things as they are.

3. Take care of yourself first. No one is gonna make your priorities more important than their own. So most of the time, it's best to do things yourself if you want it done right and fast. People are naturally selfish. It's OK, to want to help someone but don't give them all of you unless you are being reciprocated to a certain degree.


Bonus:
The key to fighting procrastinating is immediacy and doing things as soon as you think about it and also making lists.

Look up the "The Four Agreements"

I've heard #2 before but I never actually got it. Care to expound?

@KillahKamn basically is in the ballpark


but what I meant was that love is something developed over time...its not something you go in a situation with someone and expect that to be the driving force for the relationship to be successful...lots of time people think that just because they love someone that they should deal with the bs that person brings...Love is something that has to come with conditions. Its something that has to be earned. You dont earn something as valuable as love in the beginning stages...you have to prove yourself for it....If people instead approached dating in terms of compatibility, lifestyle, principles, and socioeconomic viewpoints, there would be alot more situations that bring success, and true love.

If you meet someone and there is a fundamental difference in how yall even view life....being infatuated with them and believing thats love would just damage the relationship because your core beings dont even click with each other....successful relationships are like non polar covalent bonds....basically the foundation is equally synergystic. This over time turns into love because the history is there, and the understanding that this person gets me, and I get them is there....thats how relationships can be a success. JMO
