10 Life Lessons To Learn From Andre Agassi's Book "Open"
You are playing yourself
Life is not about winning against other people; it’s about winning against yourself.
Try to be just 1% better than you were the day before. The small steps are where the seemingly big steps ...
What you feel is not important
Feeling and thinking mean nothing. It’s what you do with your thoughts and feelings that determine your success.
Take more action in the direction you want to go. If your dream is to be phenomenal at sport, then take action towards achieving this goal.

Life Lessons from Spirited Away
- “Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.” Jim Morrison
Never be motivated by your greed. Chihiro was primarily motivated by a purpose – rescuing her parents.
Help others on their purposeful journey to the destination. When you help people around you with your generosity and tenacity, people feel the gratitude to help you back even if you don’t ask for it.
Show your gratitude and say thanks to the people who have ever helped you in any way.
Continued determination is the key to success.
Keep faith in your action irrespective of the outcome. Eventually it will pay off.
Don’t be content with the precious gifts you have received without working hard for having them. They are illusionary and treacherous and can betray you at any point in time.

How to Challenge the Self-Limiting Beliefs Keeping You From Your Greatest Potential
Beliefs As Self-Fulfilling Prophecies
What you believe influences the way you interpret events, how you feel, and how you behave. And much of the time, those beliefs turn into self-fulfilling prophecies.
Give Up Self-Limiting Beliefs
- If you believe you're too socially awkward to make friends, ask yourself "What would I be doing if I were socially savvy?" Then, use a skill called, 'acting as if.' Act as if you were a socially savvy person.
- That doesn't mean you need to be a phony. Instead, behave in a way that brings out another side of your personality.
Challenging Your Beliefs Takes Time
It's likely that everyone has a few self-limiting beliefs.
To discover yours, spend some time thinking about your potential and assessing the assumptions you make about yourself that keep you from living your dreams.
It's likely that your beliefs, rather than your lack of ability, could be the biggest hurdle.
