Life is full of lessons. Some lessons are learned in an instant--like when you touch a hot stove. Others take time to fully understand.
- Self-development
- Your habits can make or break you. Every action is a brick, meaning it's what you do on a daily basis that determines the house you end up with. You are the house you build.
- You are what you read. If your body is a reflection of what you eat, then your mind is a reflection of what you read and study. Fill it with good stuff--not candy, like social media.
- To be productive, you have to remove distractions. Productivity is not about multitasking. It's actually the opposite. It's about trying to do less, so that you can ultimately do more.
- The most important relationship in your life is the one you have with yourself. Without a positive relationship with yourself, every other relationship in your life will suffer. It always starts with you.
- Every relationship has its ups and downs. Conflicts and disagreements are inevitable. What matters is how each conflict is resolved. And the key is to always maintain a level of respect and benefit of the doubt, so that both parties can be heard and mutually understood.
- You don't get anywhere fast trying to cut the line. There are no shortcuts. Throwing someone under the bus on your way up will only come back to bite you. Focus on investing in yourself and your skill sets and let the rest fall into place.
- You are only as good as the last risk you took. If you have to rely on your last home run (which may have happened a long time ago) to speak for your current talents, you have fallen stagnant. Success over the long term is about constantly pushing yourself to take the next big risk.
- Somewhere, someone much younger than you is practicing his or her heart out, coming for your spot. Just remember that. Anyone can reach the top of the mountain. The hard part is staying there.
- Never trust someone, blindly.
- Love yourself, Be yourself.
