Words that strongly push you forward and give you energy

You can’t change other people or the past, but you can change yourself and the future.Eric Berne

You can’t change the past or other people, but you can change the future and yourself. #shorts #motivation #quotes

Eric Berne, a Canadian psychiatrist, is remembered for proposing Transactional Analysis, a theory in psychology.

Here is a quote from this psychology-savvy figure that teaches us how to face ourselves.

Even when our attention drifts to past failures or other people’s words and actions, those are things we cannot change.

Instead, it urges us to focus on ourselves and the future—things we can change.

These words remind us of the importance of looking toward what we can still change and believing in our own potential.

In this world, there is a unique path that no one but you can walk.Friedrich Nietzsche

There is only one path in the world—your own | The teachings of Friedrich Nietzsche #Nietzsche #LifePath #SelfRealization

When you think of Friedrich Nietzsche, his masterpiece Thus Spoke Zarathustra and the phrase “God is dead” come to mind.

He is also known as a thinker of existentialism.

Among his many famous sayings, this one is particularly well known, isn’t it? When we’re striving toward our dreams and goals, we tend to notice others’ strengths or how quickly they’re growing toward the same finish line, and we end up comparing ourselves and feeling discouraged.

But this saying teaches us that “there is a path only you can walk.” It helps us realize there’s no need to compare ourselves to anyone else, and it gives us a positive, forward-looking mindset.

Do not rush. What matters is to keep moving forward boldly, like a cow.Soseki Natsume

Don’t be hasty. What matters is to keep moving forward, boldly, like a cow.

Soseki Natsume was a novelist who left behind numerous masterpieces such as I Am a Cat, Botchan, and Kokoro.

He even once appeared on the 1,000-yen bill, so most Japanese people are surely familiar with him.

Many of his works are also included in school textbooks.

These are words written in a letter Soseki Natsume sent to Ryunosuke Akutagawa: No matter what anyone says, single-mindedly forge ahead on the path you believe in.

It sounds simple but is difficult to do—yet it’s a truly encouraging message, isn’t it?

Don’t rush. But don’t give up.Shigeta Saitō

These are the words of Shigeta Saito, a psychiatrist who has supported many people’s hearts and conveyed ways of living through numerous writings.

When we keep making an effort, there are moments when we want to rush the results, but impatience narrows our perspective.

On the other hand, if we stand still and take no action, no progress can be made.

In studying, what matters is maintaining composure while not stopping your steps.

Even small steps, if continued, will surely move you forward.

It’s a famous saying that teaches us the value of trusting your own pace and persevering with tenacity.

Do not fear change. It is part of growth.Elon Musk

Elon Musk is an entrepreneur who has continued to take on fields many consider difficult, such as electric vehicles and space development.

What his approach conveys is that he values the courage to choose change over the comfort of staying the same.

In studying, too, it’s natural to feel anxious when you review your methods or tackle a new field, but that first step leads to growth.

You might fail, and the results may not be what you hoped.

Even so, it’s those who keep moving who can expand their possibilities.

These are words that believe in that forward-looking strength.

It’s a message that gently nudges anyone who wants to go just a little beyond who they are now.

Many of you have probably heard the four-character idiom “shichiten hakki” (七転八起).

It’s said to mean “no matter how many times you fail, you don’t give up—you get back up and see it through.” It’s read as “shichiten hakki,” though some people read it as “nanakorobi yaoki.” When you’re working toward a goal, you may fail or run into obstacles.

Even then, you reset your mindset and keep striving toward your goal.

Isn’t this idiom just right for someone like you?
