Ten lessons people learn too late
Ten lessons most people learn too late, from owning your own success to treating today as the special occasion, plus one extra: too late is an excuse.
-
You are the only one responsible for yourself and for your success. I am responsible for mine. Thinking anything else is wasting your energy. So don’t blame your parents, spouse, children, friends, aunts and uncles. It is you, you and only you.
-
Life is short. There are no special occasions. Don’t wait for them. Today is the special occasion. Buy yourself an ice cream/beer/ wear that nice shirt. Today!
-
If something bothers you change it. If it is beyond your control, learn to live with it. Accept it. Change yourself. That is the only thing you can influence.
-
You will regret the things you didn’t do much more than ones you did. So… action!
-
“Future you”, imaginary person that has perfect weight, looks great, gets up early, smiles and loves his/her job or business, will never become as great if “present you” don’t do something.
-
Prioritize your health, rest and happiness. No one will do that for you. There will always be more work.
-
Don’t ruin your health in order to earn money. You will end up spending your money to recover your health and that is not reciprocal.
-
The biggest time and energy wasters are: TV, people pleasing, perfectionism, envy, regret and obsessive dieting. You can refocus your time and energy in so much better ways.
-
We tend to overestimate what we can do in a day and to underestimate what we can do in a year (or a lifetime). Start today, start small. Drops will fill the bucket.
-
If you waste money, you can earn it again. If you miss the moment, it can never be returned. Live life with opened eyes, ears, heart!
-
EXTRA: “It is too late,” is just an excuse. You can always change the course. You can always reinvent yourself.
Everyone has 24 hours a day, it’s how you use them to achieve your dreams and make things happen! Don’t give up until your dreams come true.
