There are two types of pain, one is good pain and the other is bad pain.
When you proactively act and take pain to achieve something, it’s good pain.
When you reactively suffer and take pain as a result of not acting, it’s bad pain.
Either way, you have to take the pain, the choice is ours. What kind of pain do we want?
Power does not come from designation but from how you lead people, how you work with them.
Yes, the designation can give you a jumpstart, it gives you a platform, but people quickly judge and decide whether they want to follow.
The best way in this case is to care for them, care for their growth, and care for their values. And most of all learn how to lead people, it’s a science rather than an art.
So don’t run after designations but run with people. And you will become a leader everyone will look up to.
Uncomfortable zones are better than comfortable zones? Because they give us surety we are moving forward.
The longer we are in a comfort zone, the more we have a dangerous feeling of being left out.
It’s better to be behind the wheel, rather than let it be driven by chance or left out entirely.
If you want to take something, you need to be ready to give.
Life works best in a reciprocal, if someone is giving you something, it’s important that you also give out to life.
Help others, and get help, this is a single motto in life that cannot change and should not change.
If you are humble, you will connect with others in life.
If you are trustworthy, you will trust others in life.
If you are hardworking, you will earn success in life.
If you are habitual, you will go a long way.
Life with these four pillars is happy, successful, and content.
For every short-term view we take, let’s pause for 1 minute and think of its long-term implications.
It can be any decision or action big or small.
Job – Yes it gives money in the short term, but does it make your career in the long term, pause and reflect.
Eating Burger – Yes it gives immediate taste to your senses, what does to your body in the long run?
Long-term thinking helps make better decisions than short-term thinking.
Nothing days are the days where you didn’t do anything productive. On this day you feel as if your mind got stuck in a mud pool and couldn’t work.
But these are critical days for the mind to recuperate, you should allow it to snuggle and comeback the next day stronger.
Just ensure you don’t have too many “nothing” days in a row or they shouldn’t be very frequent. If yes, maybe your job or your work area is not stimulating and exciting enough, consider changing it.
Keep it simple stupid, just keep learning daily…
