1) You’re not that important
Remember when you spilled red wine over yourself at that party?
Some people helped.
Some people laughed.
Does anyone really remember?

Does anyone really remember?
The thing is...
You’re not that important in most people’s lives.
What may feel like the most embarrassing moment for you is just a fleeting moment for others.
This isn’t a bad thing.
It just shows we’re all wrapped up in our own lives.
You can learn to own it.

2) Not everyone is going to like you
In school, everything revolves around popularity.
Yet most of the popular kids end up being losers.
The nerds become rich and fulfilled.
Why?
They don’t spend their time focusing on something with no result.

3) Material wealth isn't everything
We have somehow gotten the understanding of money horrendously wrong.
“Money doesn’t make you happy.”
No.
But it puts a roof over your head.
We have somehow gotten the understanding of money horrendously wrong.
“Money doesn’t make you happy.”
No.
But it puts a roof over your head.
It gives you the freedom to explore your hobbies and interests.
But it does not form your identity.
Rich people with no personality allow money to form their presence, and become bitter as they become hated.
Don’t fall into the same trap.

4) You always have a choice
Circumstances can place you in negative situations.
It's easy to blame fate or someone else.
Stop.
Right now.

Stop.
Right now.
This might be fair if we didn’t have choices.
But you do.
Every day.
You can choose to wake up and get yourself out of any hole.
It may not be easy, and it may take time.
But it separates the heroes from the losers.

5) Feelings = Thoughts
This changed my life.
You don’t feel a certain way about something because of the thing itself.
You feel that way because of your perception of it.
Read that again.

Read that again.
Our thoughts create our feelings, and our feelings determine our actions.
Therefore, it is imperative you master your mind.
Otherwise, you will be controlled by animalistic impulses.

6) You need self-accountability
If you don’t learn to hold yourself accountable, someone else will control you.
This makes you weak.
It further adds to the fire of bitterness.
Learn to own your actions, and you will feel invincible.

7) They want you better, but not the best
Some people want you to do well in life...
Up to a point.
Up until it interferes with their own success.
Some people are toxic and will sabotage you before you can get ahead of them.
Spot these people and cut them out instantly.

8) There is no "perfect time"
Get it out of your head. Now.
If you wait to feel ready, you'll never start.
You're better off taking imperfect action than perfect inaction.

9) Fear will keep you from living
Ask yourself this:
How often has fear cost you:
• Jobs
• Friends
• New hobbies
• Travel opportunities
• Business possibilities
It will cost you your best self if you don’t take control.

10) Expectations can cause disappointment
What causes disappointment?
Your unrealistic expectations of things.
If you expect ridiculous standards from yourself and you fail - what do you think will happen?
Don't let unrealistic expectations ruin your reality.

11) Comparison is ruining your satisfaction
Comparing yourself to others is a ticket to misery.
If you struggle to do something someone else does effortlessly, you may feel terrible.
But the odds are there’s someone else who feels exactly the same way when they watch you.

We are all incredible at certain things and terrible at others.
That's just the way life is.
That's normal.
Remember this rule of 3:
1) Focus on what makes you great
2) Improve on what is essential but doesn’t come naturally
3) Ignore the rest

12) It’s your life
If you’re unhappy with your situation...
You’re the only person who can change that.
No one is going to save you.
It’s all in your hands.
Most see that as a curse.
The successful recognize it as the way it is.
Nothing more, nothing less.
