“The world is what you think of it, so think of it differently and your life will change.” – Paul Arden
2022 is here and there’s nothing you can do to change that. All you can do though is get yourself ready and prepared to take it by storm.
Here are the three life lessons I’ve used over the years and have made a huge impact on my life, so I thought I should share them with you as well.
1. Surround yourself with people whose eyes light up when they see you coming or when they think of you. One of the important things in life is to be able to choose a conducive environment for you.
The environment can be positive, neutral or negative. A positive environment is good for you to operate at your optimum level. It motivates you.
2. Slowly is the fastest way to get to where you want to be. The road of life is full of people who are victims of speed.
When you are travelling at a high speed, you easily lose control of your vehicle and crash. Our world is all about speed, hence the number of failures and frustrations in life.
People have become so impatient because of this rush that leads to regrets and misery.
3. The top of the mountain is the bottom of the next. I love what Nelson Mandela said on this, “After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.”
So always be reminded that the ‘happily ever after’ is just a myth. You mostly realise this once you’ve attained whatever you thought will bring you that ‘forever after feeling’. This phenomenon is called poor affective forecasting.
