Soren Kierkegaard's Quotes which are better to be known when young to not Regret in Old Age - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRPG5tttiWk

“Love is the expression of the one who loves, not of the one who is loved. Those who think they can love only the people they prefer do not love at all” (Kierkegaard). Love is not an Emotion, but a Habit. It’s a Practice that makes Charity a Lifestyle and Compassion a Reflex. https://x.com/SchrodingrsBrat/status/1704292285016367474

This man healed what psychologists couldn't: Søren Kierkegaard - It's impossible to be depressed, stressed, or anxious after understanding his philosophy - Here's his 7-step approach to reprogramming your mind that'll set you free: 🧵 https://x.com/Tim_Denning/status/1961020983692636275

“The greatest hazard of all, losing one’s self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all.” Climbing the corporate ladder leads to this. Trying to fit in is just as bad.
“Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.”
“Life can only be understood backwards. But it must be lived forwards.” - Stop waiting for the right time. You will never have enough information. Success only makes sense when you look back on it. It can't be planned or predicted.
“To dare is to lose one’s footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.” - Risking failure is far less dangerous than never trying.
“The crowd is untruth.” Do the opposite of 99% of people if you want to be happy & successful. The norm is cheap dopamine, being overweight, outrage, news, politics & working for a company that'd happily lay you off for no reason.
“Doubt is conquered by faith, just as it is faith which has brought doubt into the world.” Commit fully to something you can’t prove in advance. That’s what creators, entrepreneurs, and anyone chasing a vision does. You bet on yourself before the results are visible.
“Despair is the sickness unto death.” Losing touch with your real self is a kind of living death. You’re alive, but not really living.

Carl Jung was deeply influenced by Kierkegaard. “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are" is almost a quote Kierkegaard said.

Victor Frankl’s book "Man’s Search for Meaning" is basically Kierkegaard applied to real life in a concentration camp.
