Life is not stressful or exhausting, your expectations make it so.

Inspiration awakens us to new possibilities by allowing us to transcend our ordinary experiences and limitations. Inspiration propels a person from apathy to possibility, and transforms the way we perceive our own capabilities.

Here are 15 powerful inspirational notes:

1. You will never be as young as you are right now. You’ll never have more time than you do right now. 

2. Don’t let your energy leak into meaningless relationships, no matter how fun they appear to be.

3. Taking no risks will end up being your biggest risk. 

4. Trying to be someone else means you’ll be a stranger to yourself. 

5. When triggered, your thoughts create scenarios that reflect your deepest fears and insecurities. Fact-check what you are thinking and feeling before accepting this as reality. 

6. Don’t rush into anything thinking that it will give you everything. 

7. Your diet isn’t just what you eat. It’s what you watch, read and who you spend your time with. Remove all the junk you’re consuming and you’ll have a healthier body and mind. 

8. You have to stop prioritising being loved by others over the love you have for yourself. 

9. Your ability to resist useless material things says more about your character than your ability to obtain them. 

10. The most dangerous character flaw is a lack of self-awareness. 

11. The biggest irony on social media is that people spend more time trying to look happy, rather than being happy. 

12. No matter how much money you have, if it’s at the expense of your mental health, it’s not worth it. 

13. Life is not stressful or exhausting, your expectations make it so. 

14. History will keep repeating itself until we learn the lessons. 

15. Spend more time with people that allow you to feel ‘at home’ in this world.
