20 things I'd tell my 20 year-old self:
1. Pain is meant to be turned into something that helps others.
2. Emotions are feedback, not commands. Listen, don’t obey blindly.
3. What you feed grows. What you starve dies. Choose carefully.
4. Every trial is an invitation to pray more, not panic more.
5. God’s word restores order when your mind feels chaotic.
6. Turn negative thoughts into prayers — especially about people.
7. What irritates you in others is often something you haven’t healed in yourself.
8. Faith and fear both require belief. Choose faith.
9. Life isn’t happening to you. It’s happening for you.
10. If you want to change, act like the person who already has.
11. Start small. Momentum beats motivation every time.
12. Guard your energy like it’s your most valuable asset.
13. Not every relationship deserves the same access to you.
14. Your mind should be a place of freedom, not fear.
15. When you feel discomfort, lean into prayer instead of distraction.
16. Discipline is built in the moments you don’t feel like showing up.
17. Stop performing for people. Perform for God.
18. Take responsibility for everything — that’s where your power is.
19. Spend time in silence. That’s where clarity lives.
20. God is always watching. Stay humble.
Hope this helps ✊

Ask a believer what he wants from God and watch him shrink before your eyes. he wants his back to stop hurting. but this is a man who has never once considered that the thing he is addressing built galaxies and carved the inside of a seashell nobody would ever open. real faith is believing he can outdo your dreams so completely that your dreams become embarrassing

I wanted a thousand things in my life, and most of them i didn't get. and i looked at myself the way this post is asking me to, and thought i wasn't smart enough. but years passed, and i started seeing what each of those things would have done to me if i had gotten them, and every single one would have destroyed me - some fast and some slow. everything i didn't get turned out to be the smartest thing that happened to me, but it was not my smartness. it was something else deciding on my behalf, because i was not smart enough to decide for myself. sometimes not getting what you want is the only proof that something out there loves you more than you were ever capable of loving yourself
Dana White said the UFC White House card isn’t political.
That’s like the Pope saying Sunday Mass isn’t religious.
Eeeediot.
You don’t have to approach every day the same
One day ruthless discipline
The next an open calendar
One day pure business & grind
The next monk-like prayerfulness
What matters is that you make real long-term holistic progress
Sustainability & direction > speed
Swap scrolling for silence and you’ll find peace:
Silence leads to prayer.
Prayer leads to faith.
Faith leads to love.
Love leads to service.
Service leads to peace.
We all want peace.
But it begins with silence.
Amen.
