10 Timeless Principle to live a good life
One thing I can remember as a child is that I've always been curious about life.
But as I grew up and lost all my childhood passion.
The society has done its job to make me conform like everybody else.
But since I started this entrepreneurial path 4 years ago.
I realized it's 1000% okay to be different.
Today
I want to share with you the 10 principles to live a good life from my years of experience in personal development.
10 Timeless Principles For A Good Life:
1. Compound interest:
Everything in life compounds.
From health, wealth, relationships, to happiness.
Small actions lead to big results.
Understand that everything you do in life is going to compound over time.
Focus on the small daily tasks because that's what yields exponential results.
2. Open-mindedness:
We came into this world knowing nothing, but we learn as we grow.
A closed mind is closed to growth.
See things from people's perspectives.
Observe what other people are doing.
Don't judge or criticize.
Just experience.
3. Be A Creator:
Value exists through creation.
The world wants value.
The only way to provide value to the world is by becoming a creator.
Find something you love doing.
Create something to help other people.
Real enjoyment is found in creation, not in consumption.
4. Highs And Lows:
Life is a story of creation and destruction.
It's important to know that when you're at a low point in life, you're a step closer to reaching your new high.
Understand that everything has a purpose.
Flow with it so you can reach your new high.
This is how you become the author of your story.
5. Question Everything:
The world is a system that changes all the time.
You need to evolve with it, or you'll be left behind.
Question the conventional rules, including your own beliefs.
Nothing is permanent, not even your mind.
6. Self Education:
The society won't solve your problems.
The school system won't solve your problems.
You're the only one who will solve your problems.
The only way to solve your problems is through self-education.
It's your responsibility to find solutions. If you stop learning, you'll stop growing.
Read books you love
watch YouTube lectures
Listen to great podcasts.
Buy courses and programs.
7. Daily Routine:
I used to hate daily routines.
But I came to realize that every successful person has a daily routine where they repeat the same boring tasks that lead to exponential results.
Routine is a daily system that will lead to the outcome you desire.
If you refuse to create one.
The society has already created a routine for you that will lead to the outcome you don't want.
Success is the product of daily habits, not once-in-a-lifetime transformations. - James Clear.
8. Self Belief:
You get what you believe you can.
Reality is the reflection of what we think.
Without belief, there'll be no action that leads to growth.
Always believe in yourself over everything else.
“If you believe you can or can't, you're right” - Henry Ford.
9. Challenge:
Life is like a video game.
Challenges are what make video games meaningful.
New challenges are what make life meaningful and interesting.
Take responsibility and face the challenge.
That's how you grow and develop yourself.
10. Self Care:
Your body is the machine you live in. Prioritize your health.
- Take rest.
- Exercise.
- Sleep well.
- Eat clean food.
Without good health, you can't achieve anything else.
This is all for today.
Follow these 10 principles.
And I guarantee you a happy and purposeful life.
Remember: Nothing good comes easy.
Be willing to pay the sacrifice to get what you want.
Thank you for reading.
