Not the one with the loudest word, not the one with the biggest title, not the one with the biggest bank account. But the one who is free. Free to stand up, to walk away, to say “no” – and thus uncompromisingly “yes” to yourself. How often do we stay in conversations that don’t give us any energy, in jobs that don’t fulfill us, in relationships that keep us small – just because we are afraid of being alone or of what others might think. But true strength begins where you are at peace with yourself alone. A “no” to others is always a “yes” to yourself – and this yes changes everything.
If you only had three days to live, would you really waste your time with “sand conversations” and Monday morning frustration? Or would you start being radically honest with yourself?
The strongest person in the room is not the one who can hold out the longest – it is the one who can leave at any time.
Let’s fucking go!
