If You Want To Get Ahead, You Must Chop Off Whatever You Don’t Need

Marie Curie said, “Life is not easy for any of us.” Yes, “life is not easy for any of us”, but you can make your own life the way you want it. You can choose the life you want. To do that, you must free yourself from unnecessary things. You must detach yourself from worthless things. You must divorce yourself from the things that are holding you back. You must chop off: bad friends, negative thoughts, procrastination, fear, doubt, lack of confidence, anxiety, depression, hate, stagnation, poverty, and comfort zone. Do not accommodate what is eating you alive, chop it off! Because you are in control of your life. Yes, whether you like it or not, you are. You are the master of your own life. If you don’t take charge of your life, someone else will.

The Main Thing Is…

What is the main thing? According to Auguste Rodin, “The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live. Be a man before being an artist.” The main thing in life is to grow, not to stagnate. If you are not growing yourself, then you are stagnating. Do not get stuck in a rut. If you are not happy with what you are doing, then it is not the main thing for you. If you are stuck in a rut, then it is not the main thing for you. Do not be afraid to pursue the main thing, the thing that makes you happy, the thing that brings love, hope, and peace into your life. Yes, the world wants you to be different. Do not follow people, follow yourself. But that does not mean you shouldn’t listen to people. Listen to people, but follow your heart, your soul. Be brave. Do not give in to fear. And do not forget to follow the main thing- love!
