Want To Get Ahead In Life?


Don’t get too wrapped up in your feelings.
Feelings change throughout the day and they are unreliable. Don’t let them rule your life, or interfere with your goals.


Don’t worry so much because worrying, more than likely, will make things worse.
Focusing on your worries will drain your energy, and the source of your worry, what we’re dreading, doesn’t happen anyway.


Stop the caustic internal commentary.
Stop telling yourself that things are going to fall apart, or that you will probably fail, or that no one does, or will like you. Keep trying, moving forward, and keep living your life.


Stop being self-critical.
You must be your own cheerleader and your biggest fan. Keep a journal of your successes, and the times your perseverance, attitude, and inner strength helped you overcome something. Be encouraging and kind, and always lean into what makes you successful.


Stop feeling guilty.
Feeling guilty changes nothing. You are going to make mistakes. Accept you aren’t perfect and then get up and try again.


Stop worrying about what others think of you.
At the end of the day it doesn’t matter what they think. Choose your own goals for your life and remember you’re not accountable to them.


Don’t worry about set-backs or changes to your plans.
Plans always need adjusting and things always go wrong, but that doesn’t mean “it’s over” or you’ll never reach your goals. Expect to make some changes. Just be adaptable.
