facts some people gonna talk behind your back and shit laughing at how whatever your tryna do is outta your league or some shi.
also you tend to get satisfied with something that gets you closer to your goals and not actually reaching your potential in whatever it is.
Don't be one of those people who lives their life a 1/4 roll of toilet paper at a time. Just buy a big pack and then no worries for a while. Live on the edge, be adventurous, but at least be able to wipe your ass.

Don't worry about girls they come and go.
Therapy is good and you should do it no matter how tough you think you are.

Don't mess with people who have nothing to lose

Yeah maybe, but a lot of people that could really use it don't have health insurance and if they did it doesn't cover that. It's getting better but it's still pretty fucked. I think it's less a pride thing for a lot of people and more that they can't afford it. America

There is still definitely a pride factor involved - especially amongst dudes raised in places and by people where "boys dont cry"

Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional. Don't become a person who finds gratification in being miserable all the time. Don't make depression and being sad part of your personality. Your misery radiates out from you and blights everything it touches, everybody can see it. Nobody wants to be around people like that.
Instead of wallowing in self-pity, create tangible goals that will improve your life. Could be as simple as cleaning your room, or going outside for a walk.

Go outside of your comfort zone.
Start conversations with random people.
Connections are more or less the be all end all
Have goals for things. Even if small goals. Accomplishing even small things makes the brain feel good.
Mowing lawns and blowing leaves is nice.

This.
I think a lot of what we do, whether we want to admit it or not, we do for some sort of praise or confirmation from other people.
If you tell people about something before you've started to do it, and they say "good job!" you've already sort of gotten the reward that most people look for and are less motivated.
It feels much better to accomplish something sick, silently, and have someone notice on their own and compliment you, rather than you just telling them you are going to do something and they compliment you on having that goal.

The older you get, the harder it is to trust a fart.
Also slow is smooth and smooth is fast. I learned that from a fire chief in EMT school.

It makes sense in a way that you're not scrambling to get something done, rather you just take a deep breath and think for a few seconds on how to approach the situation instead of running into it gung-ho. Its worth its weight in gold when it comes to patient care and assessments tbh

Something I'd tell myself 5 year ago is that the ski resort hospitality industry sucks but also don't work for deer valley because they don't like skibums at all. Like at all. Anything remotely freeride/freeski is looked down upon.

People will talk shit if you do something and talk shit if you don’t do something. People are going to talk shit regardless and will project their own feelings and insecurities onto your life and decisions.
With that being said - take that risk. Do what you want. Go out and fail. At least you learned. We’ll all be on our deathbed one day and I guarantee you won’t be thinking about what X,Y or Z said. You’ll be regretting that you even cared about what they said in the first place and how you let that affect your decisions.

Nobody notices any of the things you’re self conscious about because they’re wrapped up in their own minds and concerns.

Comparing yourself to others is an act of violence against your authentic self. Fuck what other people think. Do what makes you happy.
Also wash your asscrack and balls when you shower. Everytime. You might think they dont smell, but they do. And your partner will appreciate it.

No one thinks you're cooler for standing in the corner and not dancing at a party because you're embarrassed.
put yourself out there.
find joy in existence, watch the sun rise and listen to the birds chirp.

In skiing and in life you should try just about anything that comes to your head. Even if you aren't sure you can do something, you got the idea to try it for a reason and sometimes you'll surprise yourself. Whether this is landing a new trick, or getting with a girl you liked.

stop drinking / smoking weed / whatever ur into.
u dont have to go full church boy for life, but i genuinely think at least one month fully sober is beneficial for 99% of society. i recommend going for as long as u can
being sober really makes you confront adversities/difficulties in life with a clear mind, and deal with them properly. also your productivity will quadruple which is a nice side benefit. it will be boring at first, but u just gotta allow yourself to find new ways to keep yourself occupied without taking drugs, thats when it starts to become really beneficial and fun.
i have not regretted a single sobriety streak that i've participated in. always been a positive experience
plus when u do consciously decide to go back to the weed, you get very stoned and gain crazy insight / reflection on the past couple months or however long
drinking isnt really my thing but i imagine that first night back out at the bars will be pretty fun too if thats what ur into.

im gonna go against the grain here and say that therapy is over rated
i dont wanna completely dismiss it entirely, but i honestly cannot say that it did me any good. Saw 4 different therapists while i was going through a rough patch of about 5-6 years. And each one left me pretty disappointed with the experience
what worked for me was honestly just taking care of myself and doing the difficult things which i knew in the long run would benefit me. (working out, getting off drugs/alcohol, learning to cook, eating healthy/sustainably, talking to more people, making new friends, finding a meaningful career, etc)
i would say therapy is really only beneficial if you are not sure what is causing your depression.
but 75% of the time people know what is "wrong" with their life or causing them to feel depressed, they just choose not to act upon their problems because it is VERY difficult to make that first step towards a better life.
i think therapy is just a bandaid for depression/anxiety in the sense that it makes you feel as if you are working on your problems through talking about them, without actually taking the action or putting in the hard work to solve such problems.
if therapy worked for you, thats great ! im genuinely happy ! no bs, i wish i had the same experience
but in my experience the only thing that really worked for me was taking self accountability for my problems, and manning tf up and facing them head on. i know thats not what people want to hear nowadays but i think there is still value in doing exactly that. worked for me
also it costs hella guap $$$$$
