Hook
I come to this book almost every night, guys. Amor Fati, Love Your Destiny. And it is a book full of quotes. And I use these quotes often times just to reflect, but then also to prompt my evening journaling. So I have something called evening pages. Uh, similar to one pages, but I only do like, maybe one or two pages. Anyway, I'm going to read day 37 because each time I read another quote from this book, it's as if it shines a light on something that I'm experiencing or something that connected with me that day. So I'm going to read day 39 for you. No one will hate you for doing worse than them. If they look at you with anger, it's because you did it better. Most people don't feel threatened by your failure. They feel uncomfortable with your light, your courage, with the fact that you did what they didn't dare to do. That's why, when you take a step toward your dreams, you won't always receive applause. Sometimes you'll get cold stares, awkward silences, criticisms disguised as advice. It's not personal. It's their reflection. Today, remember this: if you stir something dark in others, it might be because you're shining too brightly. And that's not a reason to dim your light... it's a reason to keep going. Ah, I promise you, I was just talking about this today with my cousin and a girlfriend. But there you go. So I'm going to read day 39 for you. No one will hate you for doing worse than them. If they look at you with anger, it's because you did it better. Most people don't feel threatened by your failure. They feel uncomfortable with your light, your courage, with the fact that you did what they didn't dare to do. That's why, when you take a step toward your dreams, you won't always receive applause.

Today, remember this: if you stir something dark in others, it might be because you're shining too brightly. And that's not a reason to dim your light... it's a reason to keep going. I'll link it below for anyone who is interested in grabbing it. Peace of love, guys. Happy reading.
