It's a matter of seeing yourself. On the identity level, if you identify yourself as a failure. Of course, your beliefs will follow your identity. Your actions will follow the beliefs, and your habits will act according to that. So instead of changing the belief, why not change the identity? - Rommel Isla


Having an option is power. Decisiveness is a superpower. Just because you have a lot of options, you’ll get drowned dun sa may power. So that’s why you have to decide which one would you like to go? And if you have the commitment to follow through, you become responsible to your decision. We don’t know how far  can we go with just that one - Rommel Isla
