Short & to the point

1. Health is your first wealth.
2. Feeling “fine” is a dangerous attitude.
3. Low standards are the high cost of low living.
4. Life is a dance between personal agency and universal power.
5. If you don’t know what you want, other people will choose for you.
6. Reflection and self-awareness are key skills for emotional intelligence.
7. If you don’t heal your wounds, you will bleed on people who didn’t cut you.
8. Stop judging. Consider the fact that all human beings do what they believe is in their best interest.
9. “A man who judges himself superior, inferior, or even equal to another does not understand reality.”
10. You can analyse the situation endlessly but the real power is to accept, take your lessons and move on.
11. Ask better questions. “Why does this always happen to me?” vs “How can I create the outcome I want” lands differently.
12. Your frame of reference is like a fish in the water — you always have one but you don’t see it. Don’t fall for your own lies.
13. Your mind single-handedly creates all that you experience. If you don’t train your mind, you’re going to have a miserable time here.
14. Waiting for others to save you is giving your agency to somebody else. If someone’s saving you, they’re fulfilling their agenda, not yours.

I’m curious to hear what are some of the principles you discovered for yourself?
