Bits of advice from my journal #2

 

1. Freedom and control over your time is the one true status of symbol. Success is meaningless if it does not provide that freedom and control.
   
   
2. Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. No moment is too small or insignificant to provide a new depth of understanding. Small things become big things.
   
   
3. Never let a day pass without doing something that will benefit you in a decade. Always do one thing everyday that compounds. I love this message, it was my theme message for 2023. I do this thing where I have key messages which I use to drive my goals for the year. In 2023, it was 'Casting votes for the type of person I wish to become' and this advice does a good job of describing it. For 2024, it is 'choosing the hard right over the easy wrong'. In my following blogs I will deep dive into this concept of yearly resolutions and how I go about setting mine.
   
   
4. 'We do not learn from experience, we learn from reflecting on experience'. - John Dewey
   
   
5. My definition of life well lived is a life of fulfillment, happiness and joy while feeling a deep sense of meaning and purpose.
   
   
6. Treat your body like a house you have to live in for another 70 years. Always prioritize your health. Health is one of my core values, I am very keen on what I consume. I want to live long to see my kids and grandkids prosper.
   
   
7. Time doesn't heal anything when it comes to relationships - Don't delay difficult conversations
   
   
8. Do the work, be consistent, be patient and the results will show. 'I am a slow walker, but I never work back' - Abraham Lincoln.
   
   
9. Never offer something you would hate someone for accepting
   
   
10. The purpose of live is to experience things for which you will experience nostlagia.
