What is life? Are you living your life? Or
are you just surviving? Let us find out.
According to Bishop, 'Life just is. What you call it is up to you. Bear in mind you'll have to live with your call.'' Remember, you are the boss of your life. And you are responsible for taking it to the next level. If not you, then who?
'A big part of living the life you want is taking ownership of your choices, now and in the future.' That is the game of life. If you want to grow more than you are right now, it starts with facing your own music. If you want to get to the next level, if you want your boss to see you, to notice you, you must take responsibility for your life. You must take ownership of your choices, of your decisions.
'You just can't keep responding on ordinary ways if you are truly out to live an extraordinary life.'
To live the life you want for yourself, you must focus on developing yourself. Because you are not going to get what you want if you are not developing yourself. Growth brings success. Growth brings happiness.
'Telling yourself the truth is rarely easy, but it's a surefire way to free yourself from your own subconcious self-sbotage trap.' Telling the truth is not easy. But if you want to grow, if you want to unstuck yourself, it starts with the truth. If you are not being true to yourself, then you are not going to reach your potential.
'If you spend your life wanting to be happy, by its very nature you're constantly starting from a place unhappy.'Happiness does not come from focusing on it. Happiness comes from thinking happy thoughts, from doing good things, from changing the world around you. If you want to be happier, you must focus on your thoughts, not your actions.
'When your attention is primarily on what's out of reach, there'll always be something you never quite have.' You are not happy because your attention is on the things that you do not have. Ask yourself, What do I have that is working for me? That is where your attention should be. Why? We lose what we don't appreciate.'Your 'truth' and 'the truth' are not the same, even though you have designed your life around the idea that they are.' To live a great life, to follow your heart, you must have the courage to stand up for something, something bigger than you. And no matter how uncomfortable, never forget the truth.
'It takes as much effort to live a crappy life as it does a great one. And you're the only one who can choose which you want to live.' Life is not fair. It is not easy. But when it comes to your own life, you are the only one who can design your life. Why is that? Because you know what you want for yourself.
'Every day, several times a day, sometimes hundreds of times a day and for countless days to come, you have to ask yourself, 'What is my future telling me to do right now?'
Whatever it is, you can do it. And go do it.
To be honest, change is difficult,
really difficult. But without it, we are not going to make any progress in life.
But if you do decide to make a change in your life,
here is how to go about it, according to Katy Milkman.
If you fall, start again. If you fail, don't stop. keep going. Start again.
'Fresh starts increase your motivation to change because
they give you either a real clean slate or the impression of one; they relegate
your failures more cleanly to the past; and they boost your optimism about the
future.'Focus on what is important to you right now.'Present bias often causes us to procrastinate on tasks that serve our
long-term goals.' Do not play with what is important to you.
Why is that? Because your future starts right now.
It starts with what you are doing right now.
Do not doubt yourself. Self-doubt is the beginning of failure. If you
want to get ahead in your life, you must put self-doubt behind you.
'Self-doubt can keep you from making progress
on your goals or prevent you from setting goals in the first place.'Focus on what you can do really well. Use your strengths to change your life.
Do not focus on what you cannot do. Pay attention to what you are good at
and use it to change your life.'Focus on personal experiences
that make you feel successful or proud. This kind of self-affirmation
makes you more resilient and helps you quash self-doubt.'
