Secrets of life

Chances we have all heard the secret to having a wonderful life already, but it is buried in the noise of everyday living, and we have bypassed it along the way. These ideas are to remind you of the many secrets you already know.

6 Categories

The years flew by like breadfruit falling with a crash, and I got wisdom in exchange for my youth. As I evaluated my life, I realized that you would know what you truly value if you watched how you spend your time. I first wrote 50 maxims, then realized that themes were emerging. I have broken out my insights into six categories so that you will see some nonlinear numbering. Sharing is caring, so here we go:

  1. PEACE
  2. HEALTH
  3. RELATIONSHIPS
  4. MONEY
  5. TIME
  6. GROWTH

Before we jump in, we overtrain emotional and mental energy and undertrain physical and spiritual energy so that I will start with the areas in need.

PEACE

49. Journey Inside. – The essence of your story is within you. Let the words emerge, and you will find it. “In stillness,” you will find the source of life. It is your awareness as the self-observer that you will know the difference between your true self and your EGO; divide your EGO and authentic self, and you can choose to follow the path of your true self. 

10 DO YOU. Who do you want to be? (a feeling) Not what do you want to do? (a thought). Stand your ground. What the universe has intended for you cannot be taken away. The price is high, but the reward is great. Others will live your life for you if you do not “do you.”

39. Intention is your top priority. What we focus on first gets more focus and time (spreading peanut butter jelly). The energy you put into your intention determines the quality of your life. It is both the cause and the consequence. 

38. Boundaries, You need a bigger YES if you have to say NO.

21. Love is everywhere, do not limit yourself to romantic love.

48: You are your most significant investment. Confidence, A.K.A self-esteem, self-worth, and self-love, is a practice, not preaching, and is 1. Your build & posture, How you carry yourself, 2.Style and state of mind 3. Grooming is self-love 4. Personality 5.Voice/Language: expand your vocabulary 6.Your Smile. 7. Your boundaries. You are your worst critic, but you must also be your best supporter. If you fail to find self-love, you will always seek others to listen, be interested and make you feel valued.

7. People know when you love yourself. Get pooed on and laugh. This guy is sure of himself. He is unaffected by what others say, is self-amused, is slightly childish in an endearing sort of way, is animated, and is entirely comfortable with who he is. How can you be directed, self-reliant, and determined without self-love? How will you be indifferent to the opposition and have physical and mental toughness without self-love?

16. Man cannot lead man. Only god can lead man. People will do what people wantDo not attach to their actions or approvals. Things are constantly changing.

27. Only you can frustrate yourself, not others, and not situations. “You are frustrating me” is a response to a story we tell ourselves.

44. Adversity leads to a congruence of dreams and reality, who we are. It purifies by stripping away.

HEALTH

1. Health before wealth – No one will motivate you for your health. You are on your own, and it is your responsibility.

The body will reciprocate what you give it. If you mistreat your eyes, you will suffer. If your health goes, you will suffer, and how much will you spend? Who will take care of you?

8. Nutrition is 80% of the battle. Beat inflammation and thrive, clean water, air, and dense essentials. Exercise is a keystone habit that makes you breathe deeply, drink/eat more consciously, and rest peacefully.

39. Friendships and positive, loving relationships are an elixir of sorts; they will prolong life and cure all

6. Get the best Mentor that Money can buy. No matter how smart you are, you cannot go it alone. It would be best if you had someone to keep coming up with new ideas and other views, to try new things, e.g., athleteX for exercise

17. “Night make to sleep.” When it gets dark, go to sleep

RELATIONSHIPS

5. Relationships, Likable, Connection is about energy transfer. The simplest definition of relationships is energy transfer. ACT with courtesy, and noble geniality, which is a sort of gallantry. Love happens when you are not around but on the mind in the wake of lingering energy transfer. If you want to see energy transfer, go to Trinidad Carnival with a Trini.

34. Make friendship your religion: If given a choice between money and a Rolodex, take the Rolodex. Your net worth is the same as your network. If you are looking for an opportunity, you are looking for a person. Your strategy is in your Rolodex, and your failure is due to the right person needing to be in your current network. If your house is burning down, take your Rolodex.

12. build teams of strong players. Great vision without great people is irrelevant

26. If you live with a rat, you will love a rat. Only have sex with someone you want to be more like, who you spend time with, you will become more like, and you will grow to love.

15. make others look good, don’t be a threat

50. Give others the feeling of control. Answer their questions but ask why? Get her talking. Open her lips. Do not turn a conversation into detailed interrogation. Part of ruling is feigning indifference, over-scrupulous is tiresome to others, to circle unpleasant things is mania

41. Be likable, Favored Over SkilledEmulate over initiate.

Be remarkable: Remarkable over Hardworking.

9. Trust is reputation. You can win affection with your reputation. It is not enough to be eminently gifted; benevolence depends on goodwill. You have to help others along the way with good words and deeds. Trust is everything, even more than love, but I am sure you will have love with trust. In the end, the only thing that would matter is that “I Loved” and I had an impact but isn’t this trust?

25. You are continuously influencing. The moment you are seen (groomed or sloppy, old or young), how you listen and ask questions, and the moment you open your mouth.

11. Master Communication: courtesy is how great people bewitch others, do the deeds, then do the pen. FAX FAIRY. Both of these will gain affection and reputation. Not talent but your ability to communicate a strong feeling of your talent propels you. 

41. In teaching, you will be taught. Your last failure is your most prominent teacher. Student teachers are intentionally focused. 

40. Grammarians are the best listeners. Do you want to learn mindfulness? How do you focus? How do you give your attention? 

4. Acknowledge then fix, diagnose then prescribe, understand then be understood, be influenced then influence. Seeing others to be seen, then both will connect.

28. Over-value is a form of lying. Without feedback, We lie to ourselves. The way we see ourselves may not align with how others see us. It can ruin your reputation for good taste and, even worst, wisdom.

TIME

it is not time but talent and focus of excited energy

24. NOW, own your moment. It is Time to make Dreams a reality. NOW defines us, not what we used to be or can become. Make up your mind, commit, lace up your shoes and run. The only truth is the present moment. Remember, we are around for a short time.

13. It is your 8 hours: Favors for friends are worth something. Money is a unit of time. We trade Time for Money so we can use the money later. Please do not squander your time because it is the material of your life.

18. Time is worth at least three times more than money. I had to choose between making more Money (X4 my salary) and family time. Well, I am still in my current job. We have nothing to call our own but time. Life is too precious to foolishly spend it on mechanical tasks as it is to spend it on lofty ones. Burden neither with occupation nor with envy. You will trample life and suffocate the spirit. – Olivia to TX, Raj no commute

20. Death is the ultimate teacher of priorities. Rich and poor become the same, all hierarchies are leveled, and immediately, you will see what is simply essential.

30. It is not about control, but Timing is everything. The window of opportunity opens and closes. Be effective in seeing them in the timeslots, and listen to yourself. If lady luck smiles on you, go bold; else, withdraw and wait because progress comes in an orderly way, in streaks, stretches, and bursts.

31. Rapidly Vantage small changes (strong decision making). You must know perfection to value it and use it. These give immediate benefits, and many of them together provide a compounding effect, not an addition but a multiplication effect.

GROWTH

23. Show up in life, really show up. You can learn by watching, but you get so much more by trying it yourself. We will be learning all the days of our life. Are you really in the meeting?

36. Priority matters: You are what you keep. If you truly understand your priorities, you will know what to toss and what needs to retain for next week, month and year.

2. Be consistent, curious, and coached; Seeds take time to germinate into a tree. You underestimate what you will do in 10 years and overestimate your 1st yr, stay grounded by working hard and not getting carried away by compliments; you will not become a great writer after six articles. It would be best if you had more than six years of daily writing and revising. Curiosity keeps things fresh with new points of view.

19. Compete to grow, Delight in your knowledge. Please do it for your growth and never attach to the outcome. Personal development is getting defeated by those better than you, so you can learn where you need improvement and who are extraordinary possible following mentors.

14. the technique is important. Get the best Mentor. It’s better to invest in lessons to get the proper foundation. First, learn from the dead by reading and learning from the living. , it is better to gain knowledge on a golf swing than to get better clubs, it is better to know what makes good quality clothes so you can shop thrift than to buy high priced brands then you can delight in your knowledge.

22. Learn from more than one teacher, the more styles and Strengths you can combine

35. Courage and Humility are food and water of vulnerability and connection, building personal character and connection. 

47. Your fears create your central limit. You have to have it hard before you have it soft. Many want success before the struggle.

MONEY

32. You are not your salary. You get paid what you negotiate upfront. You cannot gain or lose power in the blink of a boardroom meeting. You are not what you are paid. Money is a bonus for doing what we love.

29. Start with the customer. To sell 10B First comes happiness, then comes success, not the other way around. happy > work harder > creative> success. There is NO difference between working hard and love to do to be happy

46. True passion will come from love, not from money. Real fun and true creativity come from freedom, e.g., Viva and Toastmasters.

42. Success is earned daily. Gloat for one day with your success, then move forward with the client.  

#85 make yourself scarce To win genuine esteem. Some lose b/c they win so often and are soon despised as once desired. Be excessive in perfection but moderate in sharing it.  

3. You do not need to care but don’t be careless; focus on never missing and not getting 100 hits. The one bad thing you do will be your downfall, not the many things you did. It takes only one vulnerable second to lose all you have worked to accomplish.

People pay more attention to success or failure than to circumstances, and your reputation will never suffer if you get things done carefully.

33. When a Person with Money Meets a Person with Experience, the experience one gets the money and the money person ends up with experience. Experience can manage wafer-thin profits, find a boss who knows less, and appreciation will go up.

43. Leadership is earned over a prolonged period. It is not a presentation. It is consistent with results, taking people forward and delivering results.

45. GO FAR by being Effortless. Effortless is Massive results, little energy, and minimum time. It means Highly Effective and Energy Efficient. The faster you go, the further you go. (need teams around opportunities over single person), less friction will produce more action and use less energy for more results. Negative energy saps your energy and performance. We overtrain emotional and mental energy and undertrain physical and spiritual energy

The more real wealth we have – such as friends, skills, libraries, wilderness, and afternoon naps – the less money we need to be happy.
