2 min readJul 4, 2021
- Health is the greatest wealth : take good care of your health and fitness. You’ll save a lot of time, energy and money. Not to mention be happy and have better focus.
- Work hard. But not so hard that you’ll damage your health. It’s backwards.
- Starting and running a business isn’t easy. Neither is it impossible.
- What you do for a living must be something you’d still do if you had all the money you ever wanted, or if money was not a concern, without loss of enthusiasm. If you’re not there yet, work towards it.
- You attract what you focus on. Don’t focus on lack, rather focus on abundance and you’ll receive it.
- Your beliefs create your reality. Change your beliefs by affirmation and visualization to change your reality.
- Read. Everyday.
- Meditate.
- Believe that you already possess that which you want the most.
- Deep gratitude. For what you have and what you’re about to have.
- Society has a plan for you from the day you’re born. The plan has to do with their beliefs, goals and ambition and not yours.
- People don’t want to see you get ahead if they don’t benefit as a result (from #11)
- Do good and it will come back to you, but don’t expect it
- Never give up.
- Take full responsibility for your life.
- Learn from mistakes and move forward with the lesson. Don’t hold onto resentment.
- Never explain, never complain.
- You see who the real ones are when you’re going through tough times
- Never stop learning
- Stoicism. Focus on what you can control.
- Have a “Definite Chief Aim” written on a paper and on a card which you can look at multiple times a day. Receive it with gratitude and a belief that it is already a reality for you.
- Forgive but never forget
- Travel often. It makes you learn and grow like nothing else.
- Peoples’ opinion about you is just that. An opinion. Not necessarily a reality. See them for what they are.
- People don’t always like to hear the truth. Be careful about what you say.
- A person you trusted for decades could betray you. A stranger you just met could save your life. Time only reveals the truth about people.
- Focus on yourself and on financial freedom. Formal education and the corporate ladder is set up for the benefit of society.
- Trust in a higher power and offer prayers. Whether you call it God, the Universe or ether is up to you. We exist in a living cosmos that science is just starting to come to terms with.
