Never lose faith

That you are more powerful than the enviroment around you. Today I saw something happen in public which was really not cool, and it made me think pretty negatively of my environment, along with the confirmation-bias of “ofcourse I’m not doing good in this shitty place: just look at that!” but it only took a few seconds for me to realize how not true that is. I was just convincing a friend the other day to not move far away because she thinks it would solve all her problems. And my reasoning was because no matter where we are, or what we’re surrounded by, we have the ability and even the tools to be happy and succeed. Even to be comfortable. No matter where you are. The tools are within us.

It may take more self-control, more hard work, more discipline, and more fighting the evil surrounding you, but it’s possible anywhere. If there’s something you can’t or truly should not do, it’s not because where you’re doing it, but what it is that you’re doing.

Have faith in yourself.
