The best and most powerful lie you can hear is the one you tell yourself.
There are 2 things that will increase your value factor:
- To add – “inject” knowledge and wisdom into your brain. Cultivate all that is good in your mind and treat it like a garden that you take care of every day.
- To erase – remove ignorance. Reprogram your mind and get rid of the ignorant things we have been taught for years in schools and what we see around us.
Do you deserve it?
Every day try to go to bed a little smarter. There are no shortcuts to success. When everyone spends day after day, night after night, without financial stability, a career, a few pillars to support their lives, you take action and do what you know needs to be done. Not because others say so, but because you know deep down that this is what you really want.
The world does not respond to your needs but to what you have to offer.
The world is not yet crazy enough to reward undeserving people. You can certainly fool some people, but it won’t work forever. Every time someone lied or did various “tricks” to get rich quickly on the backs of naive people, those people lost their respect and reputation.
Some people have tangible things but intangible things don’t.
Many have degrees, certifications, and all sorts of evidence that they are good at something, but when they have to think for themselves they get lost and achieve mediocre or below-average results.
Do you want to be a successful entrepreneur who makes a difference in the world?
Then put the bone to work.
The good news is that every time we work towards a goal and fulfill a purpose, the process makes us happier.
The purpose of life is a purposeful life. The purpose is given by you through your creative power.
Learn to love the journey because there is no final destination. There is always room for more, for better, and you will never be fully satisfied if you think like that.
Life is what happens to us when we are on a journey. How we feel in the present has to do with how we look at the world and the perspective we give it. You always have the power to choose between seeing things positively or negatively. You always have the control to change your mood in a millisecond, just by a decision.
Practicing gratitude, living in the present, and how you see things is all about you.
Success is a universal goal. Look at yourself in the mirror and judge yourself with raw honesty.
Find “blind spots”:
- You start things and don’t finish them
- You are always adding new things
- You always start over
It’s hard to find these blind spots because that’s what they’re called. But you can do it through analysis and feedback.
The Dalai Lama says there are 3 types of knowledge:
- The weakest is of people who only hear and read about it.
- The second is contemplative knowledge (when you try to understand
- what you begin to know)
The third is instinctive knowledge. That is, it is already part of you and you practice it both consciously and unconsciously, out of inertia.
There is also a pessimistic way of looking at things: when people feel stuck or out of control or worse, they are so out of sorts that they bury themselves in bitterness and suffering, causing themselves ever more harm through their own thoughts, fears, and reckless actions.
