A rich life is NOT ‘a better car. A nicer house. A higher white picket fence.’
According to Jennifer Cohen, ‘A rich life … essentially means a life that is rich with fulfilling experiences and relationships, not just stuff.
A rich life is filled with leaps and bounds, not timid steps or no forward motion.” And
‘A person who leads a rich life is always ready for the next adventure, big or small.’
‘A rich life is about variety, not indifference; about newness and change, about discovery and self-discovery. It’s about collecting interesting places, people, and experiences- bigger, better, bolder experience.’
Do not judge yourself. You are good enough for yourself. Don’t worry about what other people are saying. Just focus on getting better every day.
Remember, no one is a perfect being. We all have our hidden flaws. You can’t control other people, but you can control yourself. You can control what you tell yourself. You can trust yourself. You can believe in yourself.
Remember why you are alive. Your purpose is to be your real self, not to worry about other people’s opinions. Worry about them, or growth, happiness, is yours to miss.
When you judge yourself, you are not helping yourself. You are assaulting yourself. According to Don Miguel Ruiz, ‘Self-judgment is an assault, and so is self-contempt. It’s an attack on the body to pity ourselves, to worry, or to obsess.’
No matter what you have been through in your life, no matter what you are going through right now, do not assault yourself. Do not judge yourself.
You are who you are for a reason. Do not change anything about yourself. When you do, you are no longer you, the real you. You are someone else.
You are no longer living your own life. You are living other people’s lives.
Your purpose is to live your life, not to judge your life.
