How quickly someone answers you is rarely a sign of how much they care about you. Delayed replies to emails, texts, and calls are often symptoms of being overwhelmed. Unless it's urgent, the true test of a relationship isn't the speed of response. It's the quality of attention.

People pleasing is an a form of unconscious manipulation. Unlearning the habit involves releasing the need to control people's perception of us.

Resilience is not resistance to suffering. It's the capacity to bend without breaking. Strength doesn't come from ignoring pain. It stems from knowing that your past self has hurt and your future self will heal. Fortitude is the presence of resolve, not the absence of hardship.

We carry too much guilt about letting others down—and too little fear of letting ourselves down. We don't fully control whether we live up to others' expectations. We do decide whether we meet our own. The most important commitments to uphold are the ones you make to yourself.

Saying no is not as costly as you expect. 11 studies: people overestimate the relationship and reputation risks of turning down requests. People generally don't hold it against you. Declining doesn't mean you don't care. It means you're taking care not to overextend yourself.

If you show frustration or anger through: sighing, giving the silent treatment, or making sarcastic comments—this is a passive aggressive communication style. You might say “I’m fine” when asked if you’re upset. Here’s why 🧵:

Confirmation bias is twisting the facts to fit your beliefs. Critical thinking is bending your beliefs to fit the facts. Seeking the truth is not about validating the story in your head. It's about rigorously vetting and accepting the story that matches the reality in the world.

Beating yourself up doesn't make you stronger. It leaves you bruised. Being kind to yourself isn’t about ignoring your weaknesses. It's about giving yourself permission to learn from your mistakes. We grow by embracing shortcomings, not punishing them. ted.com/talks/dan_harr…

There’s a fine line between persistence and obstinance. Persistence is refusing to give up on a difficult goal. Obstinance is refusing to consider a different path. Grit is not about banging your head against a brick wall. It's about looking for a way around the wall.

Looking for the good in others doesn’t make you naive. It means you’re not cynical. Recognizing people’s strengths doesn’t deny their flaws. It reveals their potential to overcome their flaws. Those who refuse to see the good in others fail to bring out the best in others.

Hard to comprehend the scale of the flood disaster in Pakistan, the 5th most populated nation in the world. Nearly 1400 dead, 1 million houses damaged or destroyed, and 50,000,000 people displaced. 1/3 of the country is underwater.
