It’s a crucial question that few people can answer — what is your “Why?”
If you can answer it, achieving your goals will become that much easier. Whenever you struggle, you just need to remind yourself of your motivator. Then you instantly get back to work.
Many people compromise for the sake of compromising, even when they shouldn’t. This is called the middle ground fallacy.
This fallacy can have disastrous consequences for your life. That’s why you must learn to spot it.
Many people experience this gap — they are in place A but want to get to place B. But they have no idea how to bridge that gap.
Fortunately, there are ways to get unstuck. Adopt the right behaviors, and change will follow.
When you suffer from fear of missing out, you are never in the “now.” Your mind is always somewhere else, anticipating something that hasn’t happened yet.
It’s a miserable way to live. Fortunately, there are things you can do to overcome FOMO and be present again.
Do you regularly catch yourself thinking, “I don’t know what to do with my life?”
You are not alone. Everybody, at some point, struggles with defining their purpose. Some people take up the challenge. But many other people settle for an unfulfilling 9-to-5 existence.
Let’s make sure you are in the first group.
It’s exhausting being the nice guy. People walk all over you. Women friend-zone you. You constantly feel disrespected.
However, the fault is not with the world. The fault is with you. You put yourself in that position. The good news is — you can also take yourself out of it.
We are all prone to making excuses. There is always a seemingly good reason why we shouldn’t work out today or have that difficult conversation.
But this way, life passes us by. Only when we have no more time left to waste, do we realize what a blunder we have committed.
Don’t let that be you.
Does every day seem like Groundhog Day to you?
It’s not just you. Most of us keep repeating the same routine like automatons. We are technically alive, but it sure doesn’t feel like it.
To overcome this you must reintroduce an element of danger into your life. You must learn how to feel alive again.
Are you living someone else’s life?
Maybe it’s your parents who want you to become a lawyer. Maybe it’s your partner who is pressuring you to start a family.
Don’t give in to these forces. Push back. Learn how to live for yourself.
We are all prone to misjudging a situation. We are either way too optimistic or categorically assume the worst.
This is where neutral thinking comes in. By focusing on the data, you refrain from rash decisions.
