Life is a game.
One in which you can’t change the rules.
So, you have 2 choices;
1. Complain about everything and lose
Or
2. Play the game and win
And learning these life lessons is just one way to help you when playing this game of life.
Let's get started.
1. You have one reputation
Whether you know it or not, you are building your personal brand both online and offline.
Every action you take, every post you like, and every story you share is adding to your brand and your reputation - how people perceive you.
Just remember, you get 1 million chances to improve your brand but it only takes one wrong choice to ruin it.
2. Be bitter or be better
Shit happens.?And a lot of it we can’t control.
But, we can control how we react and our attitude towards every situation.
You can either choose to be bitter and stay stagnant
Or you can choose to be better, stay positive, and do your best every single time.
3. There’s no rush
Sure, it would be nice to have everything you’ve ever wanted right now
But here’s the secret;
If you had it all right now, you wouldn't be happy. Why?
Because you didn't earn it.
Whatever it is you want, put in the work, earn it and it will be much more fulfilling to get.
4. Less is more
People have this idea that they need to be working on 100 different things at once.

You don’t. Doing this will only stretch you thin.
Instead, focus on the rule of 3: 3 macro goals and 3 daily tasks to get you there.
5. You need to just start
Whatever it is in life that makes you think “I’m not ready yet”
Just start.
The reason you don’t feel ready is because you lack experience, but to get experience you must start.
Take the leap, start and learn along the way.
6. You’re stronger than you think
No matter who you are, what you do or where you’re from
You are capable of so much more than you believe.
Both physically and mentally.
So whenever you think you’ve had enough, that you need to quit - you don’t, keep pushing.
7. Failure is a part of the journey
Let’s be fair, you don’t want to fail.
I don't want to fail.
But, at some point in your life failure will come along and kick down your front door.
Welcome it, sit it down, and have a chat.
Treat failure as a change in direction, not a dead end.
8. It’s your life
Are you doing what you want to do?
Or are you doing what your parents want you to do?
Or are you doing what the rest of society wants you to do?
This is your life.
Start living it based on what you want to do.
