Healthy life changes

Taking the time to help other people is one of the greatest joys in life. Helping others opens you up to new sides of yourself.It helps you connect deeper with those you help and humanity in general.

Do something kind for others

“Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.”

Most of the possessions you own, you don’t use. Most of the clothes in your closet, you don’t wear. Get rid of them.It will boost your motivation and give you clarity and welcome a new form of energy into your life. You can use that energy in more useful and productive ways.

Remove all non-essentials

When setting goals, your locus of control should target what you can control.Do what is right, let the consequence follow.

Stop obsessing about the outcome

“If you have more than three priorities, then you don’t have any.”

“Be everything to everybody and you’ll be nothing for yourself.”

Have no more than 3 items on your to-do list each day.Instead of doing a million things poorly, the goal becomes to do a few things incredibly — or better yet, to do one thing better than anyone else in the world.

Maximum 3 items on your to-do list

But you don’t have to constantly be battling your fears. You only need to be courageous for 20 seconds at a time.If you courageously confront fear for 20 seconds every single day, before you know it, you’ll be in a different socio-economic and social situation.

Do something that terrifies you

“A person’s success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have.”

Define what wealth and happiness mean to you, in your own terms. If we don’t, society will for us — and we will always fall short. We’ll always be left wanting. We’ll always be stuck comparing ourselves and competing with other people.

Defining happiness and success

Although people think they perform better on caffeine, the truth is, they really don't. Actually, we've become so dependent on caffeine that we use it to simply get back to our status-quo. When we're off it, we under perform and become incapable. Isn't this absurd?
