Jake Ducey Quotes

“Anything that you're seeing in your life, you can totally reshape.”

“How do we become conscious? We recognise our unconsciousness.”

“The biggest obstacles in our lives are the barriers our mind creates.”

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds, your mind transcends limitations and you find yourself in a new and wonderful world, dormant forces, facilities and talents come alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person than you ever dreamed.”

“The old adage "Live your life" simply means live your life. It does not mean: "Live Mommy’s life," or "Live Daddy’s life that he never had the courage to live," or "Live Justin Bieber’s life," or "Live the life that everyone else says you should live," or "Live the life of what’s easiest and most normal," or "Live the life that your teachers tell you is right, smart, and safe." "Live your life" means live your own life, and nobody else’s.”

“Who cares if people think I’m nuts? It’s better to be strange to others than to be a stranger to myself.”

“You must take the first step in living the life you want, which is to create the terms of your life. You must have a dream—a direction. However, this is often the moment when a voice in our heads creeps in and says, What if people think I am crazy? When this happens you need to reason with your mind and say, “Who cares if people think I’m nuts? It’s better to be strange to others than to be a stranger to myself.” Be yourself—whoever that is. And that is only possible if you don’t settle until you find what you love and do it with all of your heart and focus!”
