Bad behaviors cascade

Bad behaviors cascade

That reticence to ever ask someone out on a date probably plays out in your failure to move to a new city, to take that new job or the timidity around your co-workers.

Standing out of the crowd

Standing out of the crowd

People donโ€™t like it when someone changes or does something that makes them feel awkward or insecure. They will think heโ€™s crazy, selfish, arrogant.ย If you want to do something incredible, you have to become comfortable with being different from the rest.

Nothing worth having comes easy

Nothing worth having comes easy

As cliche as that sounds. Most of usย give up on something weโ€™re passionate about too soon. Butย anyone whoโ€™s been successful has a tale of struggle and perseverance to share.

Humility

Humility

It means knowing what you donโ€™t know.ย 

Many people accomplish a little bit and decide that they are experts.ย Butย successful people often downplay their successes (or usually never even mention them) - they regularly point out their weaknesses and how they need to learn more.

Don't argue against feedback

Don't argue against feedback

Distractions and social media

Distractions and social media

Distractions are not limited to social media. Sports and politics are in this category too, when they come in the form of sensationalized infotainment meant to keep you clicking rather than informing and influencing your life.

Take responsibility

Take responsibility

... for what happens to you.ย Itโ€™s tempting to blame your problems on some external factor, but to fix your problems you must have power over them. You canโ€™t have power over aspects of your life unless you take responsibility for them.ย

You are capable to handle stuff

You are capable to handle stuff

Trust the process. This isnโ€™t some sort of manifestation/affirmation mantra. Theย mindโ€™s unconscious beliefs about possibilities inform the level of effortย and expectation of success from the bodyโ€™s behavior. So, a little delusion of grandeur goes a long way.ย

Indifference as a defense mechanism

Indifference as a defense mechanism

Some people are terrified to invest themselves into something because it could potentially lead to failure and failure could potentially lead to a lot of thoughts their psyche is not yet prepared to face: questions about self-worth, competence, being worthy of love, etc.

Success and self-worth

Success and self-worth

Something inside us makes us feel uncomfortable with the idea of accomplishing too many great things as a result. Deep down, you donโ€™t think you deserve what you want.ย The heights and burdens of success make some feel like a king and others like a fraud.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
