📚📖 🤩 Book Club:

💥 We try. We fail. We get up. We repeat.

🧐 Sounds familiar?

💁‍♀️ It’s life, isn’t it?

Today I want to bring up a book in slightly different genre of a memoir with self-help guide.

While Scot Adams is world wide famous as a cartoonist of Dilbert.

Remember the daily blend of sarcasm and cynicism?

Well, his book :

How to Fail Everything and Still Win Big is full of a pragmatic and kind, deeply human approach to life.

You’ll get pulled in fast, you’ll feel the struggle and wish for “happy ending”. All this and lot of great deep thoughts on overcoming obstacles and not giving up.

✨ Check out my highlights to get a taste:

1. “Failure always brings something valuable with it. I don’t let it leave until I extract that value”.

2. “…let’s agree that goals are a reach-it-and-be-done situation, whereas a system is something you do on a regular basis with a reasonable expectation that doing so will get you to a better place in your life. Systems have no deadlines, and on any given day you probably can’t tell if they’re moving you in the right direction”.

3. “The best thing to do is to set process goals rather than outcome goals. Stop telling yourself you’re going to write the great American novel, and tell yourself you’re going to do 500 words a day. Step back from focusing on the outcome and focus on process”.

4. Success is personal. What might be huge win for me could be just “basic” for others.

🔖 This book and the stories it shares with readers is like a kind friend. The one who listens and doesn’t try to “fix” our issues, because we know what needs to be done.

📌Adulting is not an easy task.
📌Be kind to yourself and to others and help others too. ❤️
📌 Go get your goals! Go! Go! Go! 💪💪 🤗

We all talk about what we deserve like, it’s this tangible thing. If I could live the rest of my life without ever hearing, “We accept the love we think we deserve,” it wouldn’t be soon enough. Not that I wholeheartedly disagree. But it starts to get tiring, this idea of deserving.

Who am I to say what absolutely everyone else deserves? Mainly about subjects of the heart.

But what I do understand is love shouldn’t make you query yourself. And you deserve to realize that you deserve a treat to discover that out.

A cozy love mean it’s uninteresting. Everybody is obsessed with spontaneity (as it’s outstanding, sure), nevertheless being comfy with a person is just as powerful. I’d take understanding a person is going to be there, that they’re going to show up, over wild adventure any day continually.

Often, we like individuals who make us insecure. We’re hungry for their affirmation, and we’ll position our desires on hold. We never fully settle in because, down deep, we understand love should be less complicated than this.

When it’s right, you won’t be swimming in doubts.

You won’t be consumed with what-ifs while you try to nod off at night. You won’t fear about expiration dates or in case you should plan trips together. The entirety won’t feel so uncertain.

You owe it to yourself to have the form of love that sticks around. Something mutual, something that feels secure and taken care of. The feeling that most effective will increase with power, the longer you’re together. Discover a love that makes you a better person. A person who encourages you to grow, however additionally loves who you're right now.

You deserve a love that won’t make you up stressful. You are worthy of a love that feels like home. Sure love. A love that makes sense.
