Over a cup of coffee, we discuss the weather or the latest news. But nobody talks about death at breakfast, for example. Although this is an equally common thing. People avoid simple truths of life, preferring to pretend that they do not exist. Today you will have to hear them.
1. Man is suddenly mortal
Stop pretending that you are going to live forever. Admit the fact that you are mortal and death can come at any time. Believe me, this will help organize your life and fill it with meaning.
2. Everyone you love is mortal too
This truth is very sad, but it gives you an excuse to cope with the troubles of the past and restore relationships with those who were very important.
3. Material goods will not make you happier
Even if you are one of those lucky ones who managed to achieve their material goals, money is only a component of overall success.
4. Your obsession with happiness gets in the way of being happy
Happiness is always present in your life. Allowing yourself to feel it is really difficult. Only those who can relax and let this feeling into themselves will be happy.
5. Donating money is easy, donating time is difficult
When you give some of your time to another person, you change your worldview. And this time spent with another will remain an eternal memory in your memory.
6. You can't make everyone happy
If you try to make the whole world and every person happy, you will lose yourself. Stop trying to satisfy other people's desires. Start respecting your values, principles, and freedom.
7. You can't be perfect
Unrealistic standards are the cause of suffering. Most perfectionists suffer from an internal critic who challenges every step and hates himself. Fight him. Don't listen to the negative voice within you. Stop looking at unattainable standards.
8. Feelings are more important than thoughts
You must always remember about your emotions. Realizing your own problems is very important. It is equally important to express your feelings, especially those that cause difficulties and problems.
9. Your actions speak louder than words
Be responsible. Increase love and goodness.
10. Your achievements and successes will mean nothing on your deathbed
No one counts money or admires letters on his deathbed. As you die, you will think of those you loved and were friends with. So act in accordance with this simple truth.
11. Talent means nothing without work and practice
The most talented and gifted people can remain at a broken trough if they do not learn new things and hone the skills already acquired.
12. Only the present moment matters
Do not destroy it by lamenting the past or thinking about the future. The past cannot be controlled. And predict the future too. Trying to do this or that only takes you away from the present moment - the only one you can control.
13. No one cares how difficult your life has been
You are the author of your own biography. Do not expect compassion from people and start creating an autobiography that you would like to read yourself.
14. Words are more important than thoughts
Start inspiring people. Word can offend, shame, humiliate. But a word can also give wings to another person. So use words for good.
15. Investing in yourself doesn't mean being selfish
This is the most valuable thing you can do. Perhaps this will allow you to lend a helping hand to another later.
16. It is important how you react to what is happening around
Train yourself to react to what is happening in such a way as to get the most of the benefits and benefits.
17. Work on your relationships
Let them give you a sense of long-lasting happiness. Relationships greatly affect feelings. Money or an apartment is not important if an unloved person is waiting for you at home. Or no one is waiting. Work on your relationship and this investment will pay off.
18. Pleasures are fleeting
To indulge your ego is a bad business. It is better to build your life in such a way as to feel deep satisfaction from it.
19. Your ambitions are nothing without professionalism and experience
Do you want to conquer the world? It's good. Start doing something. At least decide in which direction to move in order to achieve your goal.
20. Time is the most precious thing you have
You need to learn how to prioritize. Only you have the power and responsibility to manage your time every day. Show wisdom.
