If you want to be free from pressures, stop talking about your plans, or goals, or what you will eat tomorrow.

Keep it to yourself.

If you fail, it's all good.

If you succeed, it's all good.

If you don't move a thing, it's all good.

If you start yapping, the pressure is on and either you're lying to yourself or you just want to blab.

Blabbers get found out.

​

I have this rule that I kept to myself:

If people are not honest with themselves, they're also not honest with others.

You can't fake honesty.

You can't fake courage to be self-aware. 

Either you have it or not have it.

The courage to address the issues that are eating away at one's effectiveness. 

The word salad and all their accomplishments don't reflect the real person.

These are facade to cover all the insecurities and fears within.

A grown man can have a self-esteem of an amoeba.

A kid can have the self-confidence that can kill giants, ala David.

It's never in the exterior, it's from within.

The real power and self-worth comes from within the core of the person.

If you don't have the self-esteem necessary to enjoy your success, you'll forever undermining that success and shrinking your power to the point of disrespect. Then you don't really have success, to the full measure of the word. 

Again, you can't fake courage if you don't have it. 

​Decide now to be self-aware, confront your issues, and grow up quickly.

Fortunately, the world is not waiting for anyone.

I hate people who keeps on talking in circles, using a lot of word salad but conveying nothing in substance.

Just evading answering the questions, gaslighting and hurling accusations indirectly. 

I have an encounter recently with someone who speaks good but has no substance. 

And the fact that he's still talking to me is mainly a matter of curiosity or wanting to get a freebie.

I don't know which one.

But I'm certain that I don't have the patience for it.
