Jellis Vaes Quotes

It's true that no one ever said life would be easy, but it's also true that no ever said you had to do it alone.

If there is something that I have learned from my time on this planet of ours, something that I can share and that I know to be true, it's that we disconnect ourselves from nature and the wilderness too many times. Our birthplace. Our home.

Don't waste this life being sad, angry or depressed as you just don't have as much time as you think you do.

Traveling solo is an incredible – life changing – journey, which I can recommend anyone to undertake. It's the fear of being alone that prevents many people from daring to take the step to go on that journey. But as with many things, within that fear you'll discover the greatest triumphs.

Loneliness, depression, and suicide are in fact side effects rising out of the misinterpretation of beliefs – beliefs that are created by the places we are in, the people we are surrounded by, and ourselves. Misunderstanding stops us from seeing further, causing emptiness, and making life seem uninteresting, limited – and consequently, boring.

Removing yourself from the familiar and opting for the unfamiliar opens up the unknown. And within the unknown there are questions we have never asked ourselves; experiences we have never imagined; lessons we have never had a chance to learn.

The world will play its role; all you need to do, is pack your bags and allow it to happen.

Let me tell you a BIG secret – THE secret that many do not know about happiness. Happiness is not something some people have and others do not; happiness is a practice – a skill that you get better at by practicing positive and empowering thoughts, daily. The simple reason why so many are traveling a dirt road towards happiness is because they practice the opposite every day: anger, hate, sadness, sorrow, loneliness, etc.

Self-love is an incredible happiness exercise. In its core essence, the words "I love you" mean: I fully accept who you are.

Life is going to be a pain in the neck if you're always going to be in conflict with the one person you'll have to spend this whole life with–You.

The person who has been there since the start of your journey, and who will be there with you until the very end.

How does this person not deserve to hear those words most? How does this person not deserve to be accepted and acknowledged?

How much your life sucks, or how awesome your life is, is really all determined by how much fear controls your life.
