(Might not be what you expected to hear, but maybe what you needed to hear.)
1. Anger doesn’t change ANYTHING
2. Listening helps, when you want to have a conversation.
Listening is the worst thing to do, if it is the gossip that is being shared.
3. You’re truly successful when you let go of the NEED to be successful, and work for the joy of doing it.
4. Saying “please” and “thank you” to the unkind, ungrateful and the one who doesn’t care, makes you real gold.
5. Our sharing of content on negative events in the world does not make them better, only amplifies the negativity.
6. We don’t change our lives because then everything will get smooth, and we have long been addicted to chaos!
7. No matter how many followers we have on Instagram, our stories are directed at max 2-3 people.
Everything else is a bonus.
8. To not talk with someone who once helped you in your life because they’ve gotten toxic, is selfish.
But is hanging around with toxic people a generous act?
9. It takes courage to address people by their first names, that’s why most people start with “Hi / Heya”
10. We are learning to re-trust ourselves, each time we trust someone else.
11. Get up and leave.
The two-step formula when someone is complaining.
12. Truly happy people are comfortable not talking about themselves and taking vivid interest in others. Because they don't need external validation.
13. Reading @ThisIsSethsBlog enhances your writing.
Reading @JamesClear articles enhances your productivity.
Reading @naval enhances your thoughts.
NONE of these work if you have accepted that you are worthless.
14. There will come a time where you will feel NO need to take the credit. Hang on, my friend.
15. The more movies we watch, the more we hate the movie of our own life.
16. Eating less gives more energy.
17. We don’t take risks not because we fear failure.
We don’t take risks because we fear our inner chatter that comes after a failure.
18. We could do all our daily work in half the time. But then, we’ll be have to face ourselves. That’s scary for most people. Thus, we stay hashtag busy.
19. You’ll be laughed at for being yourself.
But it is way better than laughing at yourself for being someone else.
20. At the end of the day, you have to deal with it alone. You can be happy about it, feel sad about it, but the quicker you accept it, quicker you will be able to come to a place of peace.
21. You create your own unconventional truths.
People may not agree with you, but deep down, they draw inspiration from you every single day – because you show them what’s possible!
And that, is the best life lived - every single day!
Fin.
