โข Self-improvement is a good thing.
โข How to adopt a growth mindset.
โข Life is bigger than a test score.
How to think, not what to think
I taught public school for 20 years. The system tells you what to think, not how to think.
(it's easier that way)
You will not achieve much in life by accepting what schools โteachโ you because schools want you smart enough to follow orders.
Self-improvement is a good thing
Putting yourself first is often viewed as a selfish act in todayโs society. But, it is the opposite.
You need to invest in yourself first before you can give to others. If you do not, you will have nothing to give. Improvement is a selfless act.

1 Appreciate nature
Enjoy Nature. Go on a pointless walk. Soak in the sunshine. You were put on Planet Earth for a reason.
Enjoy your time here. Trust me.
2 Learn how to say NO
The moment you start saying yes to everything is the moment you live on others people's terms.
Stop letting others dictate your life.
Learn how to say no.
Make your life your priority.
1 You aren't owed anything
2 Money can buy happiness
3 No one cares more than you
4 Degrees do not give superpowers
5 You canโt be friends with everyone
6 Eat properly & you will lose weight
7 Earn more/spend less to be wealthy
Thatโs 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 doesnโt = happiness. It can.
