The only things you need in life are aspirations, confidence, motivation and self-belief. Your aspirations will give you direction, confidence simply helps you ignore that voice inside your head which tells you that you’re not capable. Motivation is the catalyst that turns your aspirations into reality, and self-belief is the conviction that makes it all worthwhile.

I am no genius, but I see that these things are fully attainable by anyone who wants them, and I find it pretty tough to get my head around the idea that a lot of people don’t long for these things in the way I do. Without direction, life just becomes  aimless wandering, with no evolution, no improvement and no growth. These are all the ways in which we can make ourselves and the world so much fucking better. I find it completely ridiculous how people criticise others for actively wanting to learn, for not needing to get drunk all the time, or for caring about what is right and wrong more than simply themselves. Selfishness and ignorance used to anger me and frustrate me. Now I find that when I see those qualities in other people, it simply makes me happy that I’m not guilty of that behaviour.

Coolness doesn’t exist anywhere except in your own mind. There are no parameters for measuring ‘cool’, so do not let it ruin you and your relationships with others. The reaction to someone who you consider to be ‘cool’ is more often than not one of ridicule, through some sort of justification in your mind that the person in question also thinks they’re cool and therefore needs to be put in their rightful place. How can you judge someone in such a deplorable way when you have no doubt at some time felt to be judged by others?

I am a very transient person who finds it easy to see the whole picture, and I just don’t take any bullshit. I’m not sorry about it, and you shouldn’t either. Maybe you should just have a think about it yourself and decide if you want to change. I’m not holding your fucking hand, I’ve got my own life to live, but you’re welcome to come along for the journey if you so wish.
