Good Thoughts With Gabe

Maxime Lagacé said that we must love change and fear staying the same, and I actually agree. You see, change has been my core my entire life because I've experienced it on so many levels and I've learned alot. It's been my greatest teacher, apart from life of course, and it has humbled me more times that I can count. I will forever be grateful for making the choice to embrace it. This episode delv...

Socrates said that He who wants to move the world must first move himself and it got me thinking about all those times in my adolescence when I was told "if you want to change the world kid, change yourself". This episode is all about understanding how important - and constant - change is to ourselves, but it also frames the perspective of "changing the world" - its not as difficult as you think....

The Dalai Lama said, "With realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world". When I think about this quote, I think about everything that I'm currently doing and how in this journey, I've not realised even a 1/4 of my potential, but I still carry on because I know that I'm making something better and in so doing I am also building the confidenc...

Anais Nin said "we don't see things as they are, we see them as we are", and this reflects an important tool that we all need in life, perspective. When it's negative, negativity is all we see but when it rolls around to the positive side, there are only opportunities and lessons in life, with rewards. Perspective is important because it is our compass for navigating life, and yes, it can be chang...

Mark Twain said “Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear”, and most times we forget how true this is. Fear, as much as it is a saving grace in some situations, can be the largest obstacle in our lives and reaching our goals. We forget that it is just a state of mind and it can be mastered, it can be controlled. We let it dominate our thoughts and we never really see how...

“You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.” – Eleanor Roosevelt. I read this and think of all the things I lost out on because I worried about what others thought of me, and it hurts, so much. However, since I've come to realise that others thoughts of me don't matter, I'm starting to regain those little moments and feelings I thought to have los...

Oscar Wilde said "To love oneself is the beginning of a life long romance", and loving yourself is the best thing that you can do. Some of the most important things, acceptance and understanding, work with the love you have of yourself to help you attain happiness and peace. Being kind to allows for us to understand who we are and love ourselves how we know we deserved to be loved.

Paulo Coelho said "“Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.” This life is a very dynamic one with changes constantly happening - as it should - and so we eventually learn that we cannot hold onto anything for too long a time. However, we can find those little things that we can put our heart into and love, and in doing so, we find the treasures of why we love it, a...

When Sally Field said "It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else’s eyes", I always think about how much we allowed the opinions of others to intrude on our authentic character development, and how right now, most of who we are is a product of those opinions. I've found it important to find the effort to stop adjusting ourselves according to everyone's standards, and ask ourse...

Vincent Van Gogh said, "If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced". Ever so often in life we have things, new things, that want to try but we never do. Have you asked yourself why? Well, it is because of the voice that tells us we can't. When we do those things that we know will make us happy, that voice eventually becomes silen...

I watched a video earlier this week wherein a gentleman was trying to split a boulder in half and the person reacting, social media personality Aaron Crascall, was extremely doubtful. Nevertheless, the man achieved his goal and the Aaron was surprised. It made me think of how we are constantly doing the most to achieve our goals, even with the criticism and doubt of others invading our thoughts, a...

Ralph Waldo Emerson said "Make the Most of yourself, for that is all there is of you". You can be the most of yourself whether you know everything about you or one thing thing about yourself, what matters is how you choose to use it. Our best traits are superpowers. They make us who we are and we can use them to change the world. Be your best self, be the most of who you are.
