3 skills you should develop before it's too late.

Everyone wants to get far in life.

Everyone has goals, dreams and the desire to live in comfort.

And yes, comfort is advertised as the killer of progress but as humans, we pursue it anyways.

You give a human the choice between comfort and pain and nine out of ten will choose comfort.

The remaining one will eventually come to their senses.

?

Realistically though, doesn't necessarily mean lazing in a couch all day and sipping hot chocolate.

A comfortable life can mean one who is content with who they are.

A person who is content with their lot in life.

Someone who navigates life’s ups and down, embracing the good, bad and ugly.

Navigating life like this requires skills. Specific skills that can help you if not achieve comfort, avoid pain.

And no, a lot of these skills aren’t taught in school, but they’re invaluable over the course of a lifetime.

Skills such as:

Learning from other people’s mistakes

Everyone makes mistakes.

The problem is life is too short for one person to make all the mistakes in the world.

The mistakes you make will be different from other people, with some overlap of course.

You should know mistakes are there to teach us. They act as a detour to get us back towards our purpose. They allow us to improve and grow.

They're also a great source of comedy. Not in the moment, but in later years when you look back at your life.

Learning from mistakes makes you wise.

Learning from other people’s mistakes, however, makes you exceptional!

What a joy it is knowing you can obtain a wealth of knowledge just by observing someone else’s errors.

You can witness their poor decision making or lapse in judgement and learn not to repeat the same error.

Best part is, it costs you nothing. You become wiser and learn valuable lessons without bearing the consequences of their mistake.

Letting go of negative energy.

People will wrong you.

They will lie, steal and cheat to get their way, often without remorse.

It could be as bad as someone with an uncanny ability to instantly know when you’ve gained a few pounds, to publicly announce it,

Or someone robbing you of a few thousand and you later wind up seeing them frolicking in Dubai.

Point is, people are not always good. Their energy is often negative.

But if you desire to be comfortable and content in life, learn to drop that sh!t.

The more hurt and negative energy you start collecting, it makes you bitter and angry.

You’re become thirsty for revenge. You relish the thought of seeing them suffer.

Then it affects your mind, you don’t trust people anymore. You become overbearing.

Then you start to get bloated and pack on fat.

Avoid that! It’s alright to feel hurt, but at some point, let that go.

This skill helps you to stay healthy.

Understand the nature of money.

Money is a fact of life.

We need it to pay for our plumbing, internet service and buy car parts.

However, money is more than paper dollars and coins.

Money makes men think productive or dangerous thoughts.

Money makes women do constructive or destructive things.

It is essentially energy – financial energy!

Energy that could be used for good or naughty purposes.

If you store energy, it remains unused. Nothing happens. It’s wasted.

If you squander it, don't be surprised if it doesn't want to come back to you.

Instead, directing financial energy towards a creative & productive purpose, such as building a business, investing in self-development, saving for investment or contributing towards charity, the rewards will be forthcoming.

A rewarding existence, therefore, requires a solid understanding of money.

How it works and how to harness its usefulness to avoid danger & destruction.

Reality is, not everyone can harness or control this energy. It usually has the ability to control a lot of people.

But, for those wishing to lead a contented existence, your financial and negative energy is meant to be controlled.

As mentioned, an effective way to do this is developing the skills of learning from other people’s mistakes and letting go when necessary.

By doing this, you’re not guaranteed a comfortable life.

But if not living in comfort, you stand a much greater chance of atleast dying in comfort.
