Think Straight!

Swaying through changing times I took shelter in my constant — books. Recently I completed reading this amazing book(Refer to the title) by Darius Foroux and would recommend it as a must read for people looking for clarity in their messy thoughts.

Messy Head, Messier Life

The author has shared various aspects of our lives and how messed up we feel at times. He has done a great work by articulating the situations with real life examples from his personal experience. If you have time then you should read the whole book. Otherwise, I have collated a series of good reads from the book that I resonated with and might be beneficial for you!

4. “It’s not this or that in life. You can have this and that”
5. “When you stop doing things the way they’re done, you’ll start doing things how you get it done”
6. “At the end of the day, this is your life and the only way you can live with yourself is to follow your strongest desires”
7. “If things don’t work out, it’s not the end of the world. Make a decision. Stand by it. Move on. And only look back to learn.”
8. “Look back, but don’t stare for too long. Life happens now”
