Quick bullet points of some cool life lessons I came across.
- Nothing pisses the world off more than you being comfortable with who you are.
- Money buys you freedom and freedom is a privilege. When you have money you have choices and freedom to choose what you want to do. You have freedom to spend time the way you want to spend time.
- Listening to someone without judgement is the most precious gift you can give someone. Do not listen to respond. Listen to understand. Listen to empathise.
- No one owes you their time and money, and you don’t owe either.
- Losing your temper indicates you have more personal growth ahead.
- Being in control of your time is being in control of your life.
- Do not try to remember anything. Write things down to free your mind from tasks.
- Holding a grudge requires significant effort.
- Complaining never leads to solutions.
- Exercising teaches discipline and patience.
- You will outgrow relationships and friendships, and when you do, don’t be ashamed to move on.
- The most dangerous people are those who run away from change, they are also the ones who suck the most energy out of you. Run away from them.
- Being skilled at something and enjoying it are different things.
- People prefer working for a competent jerk over an incompetent nice person because they want to learn.
- Don’t believe you deserve your life circumstances; luck and privilege play a major role. We were just born into privilege. We were born into love, care and shelter. Sitting on opportunities that people far smarter and hard-working than us will never get to see even for a second of their lives what we take for granted.
- True respect is when people know everything about you and still respect you. Your values are shown by how you treat those who have nothing to offer.
- You will achieve what you actively seek, not just what you desire or dream.
📕 Book I am reading right now
I am currently reading The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read.
This book reveals the vital do’s and don’ts of relationships, and how we can form better relationships. I have only read it 10% so far and already enjoying the book and reflecting on how I behave with people around me.
I am enjoying the read. I am sure you will too.
