Fear Will Always Be There
Fear will always be there. Starting something new. Stepping out of your usual circle. Taking risks. Doing something you're not accustomed to. Fear for your loved ones. For the matter at hand. For your own life if it comes to that. And many more. Fear will continue to be there. No matter how much experience, practice, confidence, recognition, money, or talent you have, every time you aim for a new height, every time you step on stage, every time you look back at your loved ones - to some extent, there will be fear. This is normal. It means you are still alive. And it means you need to move forward. Through the fear. Not try to completely get rid of it.

Where Should the Support Come From?
If you don't receive support in a relationship, then where? From whom should you expect understanding if the closest and dearest person can't give you what you so desperately need in the moment. Parents, friends, yes, but sometimes you need the support of the one with whom you plan your future, share your bed, and have no secrets. Support is needed by everyone, even the strongest, when they find themselves in a difficult situation.

Enjoy the Moment
Enjoy. At least now, while you still can, have fun properly. Everything! Extract joy from every moment, it won't come back, it won't repeat, this moment! Let at least the memory of a humble, small joy remain. It is better than nothing. Capture the joy now, immediately, without delay! Tomorrow might not come... (Sake Komatsu "The Dragon's Demise")

Gather Your Attention in the Now
You will forgive yourself and others many times. You will process the pain from your past life again and again, and then start all over. Because you have scattered your attention on thoughts and emotions, on events from the past, on your self-pity and its importance. You consume the past, the future and lose the present. If you are not here and now, if you do not realize your presence, then where are you? In a daze. In hallucinations. Gather your attention in the now. Realize your presence and this will heal you once and for all.

Read at least 20 pages a day
The rules are simple — commit to reading at least 20 pages every day. After 30 days, you will have read 600 pages or two to three books. You already know that reading brings pleasure, develops empathy, expands vocabulary, reduces stress, and improves sleep.

Act Every Day to Develop Yourself
No matter how many commandments you read, no matter how often you say what they mean, what will they mean if you do not follow them? They say: "Words are worthless," and it is true. To develop, you must act; to develop quickly, you need to act every day. Glory will not fall into your lap! Glory is for everyone, but only those who act constantly will achieve it.

Her Choice Matters
It doesn't matter if she's your woman or your wife. If she's with you, it means she chose you. Women cannot be with a man just for carnal pleasures alone. She chooses a life partner first and foremost, even if your romance didn't involve grand plans. And if her choice is you, it means she sees at least a friend, brother, husband, support, and a shoulder in you. It means you possess that core strength that makes women forgive almost all men's mistakes. She clings to her choice like a last straw because all her dreams and desires are connected with you. And it's not the ring on her finger or the status that makes her yours, but her voluntary desire to see only you beside her among millions and to forgive all the foolishness you sometimes do.

Embrace Change
Embrace change. According to many people, stability is a guarantee of security. Because their entire life is governed by fear - fear of losing money, relationships, and much more. In life, there are two doors: Freedom and Security. Choosing freedom may not yield security. But choosing security, you will lose both. Sooner or later you will have to come to terms with this thought: the only constant in this world is change. Instead of being afraid, embrace it.

One of the Most Beneficial Habits
Write down 10 ideas every day. By the end of the month, you should have generated exactly 300-310 ideas. This will greatly enhance brain activity and provide guidance for the future. Additionally, when you encourage yourself to come up with idea after idea, even if they are silly and terrible, you become more creative and thoughtful, and also learn to solve your problems more effectively.

Taking Control of Your Own Life
Do not wait for people to make the first moves or send the last messages. Either way, it's foolish to put your decisions in the hands of others. Do not beg for anyone's attention, love, or pity. Do not trample on your self-esteem to satisfy the ambitions of people who are completely indifferent to your feelings. Learn to listen to yourself: when you want, you call, write, come, go. Your life is a puzzle of your decisions, and no one else can understand what you want better than you.

It's useless to look for the guilty in this life
In this life, it's useless to seek out those responsible for what happened to you. Whatever happens, don't search for the culprits of your misfortunes, but rather seek the meaning of why this trial was given to you. You'll be less disappointed, angry, and hateful towards everyone around you and better understand that life is just a material given to you by nature. What you create from it – a masterpiece or a worthless stamp – is entirely up to your own hands, desires, and thoughts.

There should be a certain space between you and your partner
This means that regardless of the degree of closeness, you should respect each other's boundaries, personal time, and choices. All of this is lost if you merge with your partner. It is important to maintain your interests, social circle, and self-realization while building a relationship. Otherwise, if it ends, you risk being left with nothing.

Relationship Crisis
Crisis in the relationship. Do you know when that moment comes? Usually, it happens after 4-6 months of the relationship. The thing is, at the very beginning, everyone in the relationship intuitively tries to be better than they really are. And then the snow melts and everything that was initially hidden comes to the surface. The person in the relationship relaxes and begins to behave as they usually do. And here, unexpected habits, thoughts, character traits, words come to the surface. And here, it is important to understand what is better for you: to work on the relationship, negotiate, set boundaries, or break up.

Happiness is Not an Illusion
Happiness is not an illusion of a perfect life without a single difficulty, where everything functions flawlessly and worries are absent. This does not happen, and if it does, it is more likely to cause rapid fatigue and ultimately lead to disappointment. Problems can always arise. Happiness lies in having activities, people, and things that bring you genuine satisfaction and make you forget about these problems, depriving them of their significance. The main thing is to find your source of happiness.

Learn to Tell the Truth
No one likes lies. Unfortunately, it is sometimes easier to be dishonest with others and with yourself than to tell the truth. But it doesn't have to be that way. By learning to be honest and eliminating the need to lie, you will cleanse your conscience and improve your relationships with others. By slightly changing your outlook on life and committing to being honest, you will eliminate the need to lie and start valuing sincerity more.

“Take everything from life” – a bad motto
“Take everything from life” – this is a bad motto. Don’t take everything indiscriminately. Don’t grab what you really don’t need. Separate the important from the unimportant. Firmly decide what should surround you in life. It’s not every junk that is kept “just in case”. There is only room around you for the best, most significant people, things, and events.

The Quality That Makes a Woman Attractive and Desirable
Beauty, charm, sharp mind. All this is good but not enough. There is a simple life principle: when a woman feels bad, she looks for a man, when she feels good – men pay attention to her themselves. Male psychology is such that they try to avoid women who want to 'heal' or 'save' themselves at their expense. There are ladies who do not know how to find joy in life. They seek comfort and happiness in others. But remember: men are not ready to carry this heavy burden and take responsibility for someone else's happiness.

3 Behaviors That Repel Men
Every woman wants to feel love and attention. If you don't want to bore a man, don't do these things. This repels all men: 1. Lying. No one likes lying people in principle. When there's lying in your relationship, men can't stand it doubly. The hidden always becomes apparent, so try not to lose trust. 2. Manipulation. Any provocative actions and manipulations will repel the partner. This can lead to him no longer being sincere with you. 3. Disobedience. In ideal relationships, a woman always trusts and follows her man. If she doesn't trust him and acts out of spite, it will definitely strain him. Any relationship should bring joy, otherwise, why do you need it?
