That’s just how life goes
1 You aren't owed anything
People like to act like the world owes them something. It doesn't. You have to earn it. Take charge of your life and get what you want. There is nothing else to it.
2 Money can buy happiness
Money makes you financially secure and that leads to happiness. The biggest benefit is that you will sleep well at night. All tension will begin to melt away from life.
Stop listening to all of these hustlers that say money doesn’t = happiness. It can.
3 No one cares more than you
You need to give your life the attention that it deserves. No one is going to step in and do the work for you.
Start by taking full responsibility.
Once you accept this realization it can bring a tremendous sense of power and control to your life.
4 Degrees do not give superpowers
People confuse education with intelligence.
I’ve met academics that were rubes.
I’ve met laborers that were brilliant.
Don't get caught up in the hype,
Life itself is the REAL IQ test
5 You can’t be friends with everyone
Having a terrible person in your circle is a reflection of YOU. Curate your friendships. Ditch toxic relationships.
You are a reflection of your 5 closest friends.
Choose wisely.
6 Eat properly & you will lose weight
If you want to lose weight, put down the fork. It's that simple. Show some self-control and you will get the results your desire. Eating habits matter more than exercise.
7 Earn more/spend less to be wealthy
Think of money like they are soldiers,
every single one of them counts.
Be ruthless when it comes to personal finance. Skip pointless purchases and invest the difference. If you show respect to money, it will respect you back.

1 Be a lifelong learner
Lifelong learners recognize the importance of personal development (and embrace the journey).
They are never satisfied. They always seek to improve. They never settle for just "knowing".
This is what keeps you youthful.
This is what sets you apart.
2 Embrace optimism
See the glass as half full instead of half empty.
Your mindset is a CHOICE
The most successful people I know are also the most optimistic. This is not a coincidence.
People care too much about degrees, titles, certifications. None of that matters.
Life itself is the real IQ test.
Do not be fooled by degrees.
I have a Master's in education. I can tell you firsthand that many academics are complete rubes. At the same time, I've met laborers that were brilliant.
People confuse education with intelligence.
I've been offered to teach at University.
Turned it down. I wanted to get out into the real world. College feels like an MLM. They treat students like they are piggybanks. It's repulsive.
Now I teach people how to make money online
(it pays better)
As a public school teacher, I have one word of advice to all of the parents: Homeschool your children.
A lot of people are asking why?
There is little joy left in public school teaching anymore. Everyone is looked at like they are a number. No joy in classrooms does NOT = Lifelong learners.
To the naysayers, why do you think school is normal?
Children spend around 8 hrs/M-F surrounded by people their own age and a handful of adults learning about mitochondria.
School isn’t about learning. It’s about passing.
If anything, it makes them less intelligent.
