Shit You Should Know: Part 2. You're Welcome.

I got a lot of positive feedback from the first post I made with this  name, so I've decided to add a second installment. So, with no further adieu, here are the best parts of the self help books I've read, in complete random order:

“Him deciding not to be with you isn’t a decision you can talk your way out of. It’s a definitive action, not a democratic one. Nothing you say is going to be news to him, and you have much better things to do with your time.”

“No answer is your answer. Do not give him the chance to reject you again.”

“As you date it’s inevitable that you’ll find your fair share of weirdos and jerks. The only thing in your controll is how long you allow these gentleman to take up space in your life. Life is hard enough without choosing as asshole to share it with.”

“Being lonely and alone sucks, but it is my true belief that being with someone who make you feel shitty or like you’re not good enough is way worse.”

- "Do or do not, there is no try" ~ Yoda, Jedi Master

- "Seek first to understand, then to be understood." ~ Stephen R. Covey

- “Every person is my superior in some way. In that, I learn of him" ~ R. W. Emerson

- "We must learn to live together as brothers, or we will perish together as fools." ~ Martin Luther King Jr.

-“You’re only as interesting as the depths of your own interests.”

-“A bit of irreverence is necessary to have any selfesteen at all. Not irreverence for other people, but rather, for what other people think.”

- "Knowing and accepting your weaknesses gives you a confidence that can't be faked."

- "Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Grief is a process to go through, not a destination in which to wallow. In a process, you keep putting one foot in front of the other, and each little step is part of the healing."

-"You can choose to see failure as a set back, or you can choose to see it as a starting point."

-" When you try too hard to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one, including yourself."

- "Good timber does not grow with ease, the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees."

-"Character is the discipline to stick to resolutions long after the spirit in which they were made has passed."

- "Your desirability can not be measured by the desires or tastes of any one person, his reactions and tastes are a very individual matter and have more to do with where he is at that point in his life than with your desirability." 

- "Some fights aren't worth fighting, even if you win."

- "When faced with 2 choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you, but because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air you suddenly know what you are hoping for."

- "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still."

-"Unhealthy relationships are guaranteed to only continue the feelings of inadequacy that spawned them."
