1. Money Isn’t Everything
Wouldn’t it be
nice if tomorrow, you won the lottery?
The sheer joy you’d feel would probably be something you’ve never
experienced before. What would you do
with the money: buy a house, go on an exotic vacation, quit your job? When this type of pleasure flows over you,
the possibilities feel endless. No
matter what you do, being financially free would make you happy, at least for a
while. Eventually, you would want
something more than just financial freedom.
Having money is great, but what are you going to do with your money and
newly acquired spare time?
We need a purpose
to be truly happy, not just wealth.
We desire companionship, experience, making memories, all of which are
not obtainable through wealth alone. We
want to learn and feel important. All of
this can be done without having an obscene amount of wealth. I am not saying the money wouldn’t make you
happy, I am saying it would only go so far.
So, remember that there is more to life than making money. You can live a great life without being
wealthy as long as you allow yourself to do so.
Do not think of money as the end all be all.
2. Mind over Matter
What do you want
to accomplish, and what has to change in your life to succeed? Many of us would say we lack motivation or
have other priorities. I say this way of
thinking is the reason why you are not achieving what you want to achieve. Mind over matter is a powerful piece of
advice. People can do much more than
they believe. The problem is their
thoughts often cloud their judgment.
Whether it be a lack of confidence, lack of motivation, or believing there
is not enough time in the day, this way of thinking will always keep you where
you are. Breaking this cycle is the key to
success. Plan however you must, but remember
there is always a way. It really comes
down to your mindset.
3. Kindness is Key
We’ve all been in
a situation where we want to scream and yell in anger. Whether it be people or a situation that
causes this doesn’t matter. Anger will
get us nowhere and often make the problem worse. Kindness is key and will ‘keep the peace’ so
to speak. Think of someone you have had
problems with in the past. What would
yelling at them do? Would it resolve the
problem or would it just make things awkward?
The second result would most likely be the case. Not only that, but you would feel bad for getting
angry towards someone else. If we are
kind, not only do we calm ourselves down, but the problem will most likely
reveal itself for what it is, mundane and over-exaggerated. Most of the problems we face in life end up
being things we forget the next day. It’s
better to be kind and let the anger subside than explode over something that
will not bother you tomorrow.
