Have you ever thought about what will be in your mind when you’re 90 years old?
As per the interviews with old folks, mostly these are regrets of the acts they could have done rather than living in a shell. Since we know this beforehand, it would be a great idea for us to steer our lives to a great future.
We can see the facts of life for what it is and guide our life in a much better way.
1. We are capable of much more than we think we can
We all see greatness around us thinking how lucky these people are. But in reality, they tried harder than us to reach that level.
How many of us are ready to put in the work.
We have a unique flavor of characteristics, traits, and abilities that no one else can provide to this world.
We have to hone these skills and provide our best value to others, to enrich ourselves.
2. People will let you down
These can be anyone from your friends, family, or even strangers.
There is a paradoxical thought for the first fact. People tend to think that people in their circle are incapable of doing great things. Everyone thinks based on their capabilities and perspectives.
If you are starting your journey towards an exceptional life, get ready to face naysayers.
3. You have to ask something to get it
You never know how many great people out there are ready to help you unless you ask.
“What is ‘no’? Either you have asked the wrong question or you have asked the wrong person. Find a way to get the ‘yes’.” – Jeanette Winterson
Most people are happy to help if you ask
There are a lot of experienced folks out there, who have gone through your path. Ask for guidelines. We save time and costly mistakes by this simple task of asking.
4. You have to believe in yourself before the world starts to
You are the one guided by your vision. Others might not see what you see and hence discourage you to take a specific path. But if you believe in the path you are taking, never back down. That’s how you fulfill your vision.
This self-belief helps you overcome the challenges you face in your journey.
5. Your dreams are worth it
Whatever dream you have, it is definitely worth achieving. The satisfaction you get once you realize it, you can’t express it to others. Knowing that you have lived your life fully and took risks gives you the ultimate satisfaction.
You will never know until you try.
6. Execution trumps everything
Even if you have top-notch ideas, great potential, enormous resources, nothings matters until you take action. Execution is the king. We try planning and perfecting the plan before taking action. But you never know what the market needs and people need until you put your idea in execution.
So make your initial plan and get your hands dirty. You will learn much more than you think.
You can follow them or just read them, but keeping these in mind can change your life in a new direction altogether.
