7 Life Lessons

1.    You Attract Success

“Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.”
Turning into success rather than chasing it is why most people don’t apprehend it. So where does success come from? You and everyone else will be constantly surrounded by problems and obstacles. Growing bigger than them will bring you to success.

2.    You Must Change

“Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.”

Invest in yourself rather than the stock market if you haven’t already done so. Put yourself through labour to transform into a better person. Be a better person today, than you were yesterday. Begin with making changes on yourself, soon you’ll realise things around you will start changing as well.

3.    Never Give Up

“How long should you try? Until.”
Imagine you stayed completely focused on something for let’s say 20 to 30 years, think of the expertise you would gain from the experience. Think of the network you would build around you within that industry. Then think of all the great things you could achieve and the lives you would impact.

4.    Atmosphere is Critical

“You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they got me saying? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay? Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.”
You must be placed in the right environment in order to be productive in life. Imagine if Ronaldinho was an accountant. The world would have missed the beauty that he brought to the sport of football! Cultivate your strengths and overcome your weaknesses in a suitable atmosphere and you will naturally flourish to become what you’ve been destined to be.

5.    Steady Progress

“Success is steady progress toward one’s personal goals”
Everyone has heard the ending to the popular children’s tale of the tortoise and the hare. Success never happens overnight. It takes many years and immeasurable effort. So, manage your expectations from the start. This will help you feel better about the small steps you take and overcome the disappointments that you’re sure to experience along the way.

6.    Set Your Sail

“It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.”
What determines your success? What determines where you end up? It’s the commitment you put in to reach your goal and not the circumstances surrounding you in life.

7.    Learn to See the Value of Time

“Time is more valuable than money. You can always get more money, but you cannot ever get more time.”
Spread out your time and you can achieve anything you desire. Be it making more money, building relationships, or bettering your health, time can make all these things happen. Never waste this priceless gift.
