- ? There will be a time to let go of the past. That time is today and whenever you accept the past for what it is: something that does not have to define your future. As long as you can focus on the here and now, you can get better, daily. Because the process of disdaining certain portions of your past are often akin to you being your greatest enemy. Accepting and learning from your past can be harnessed as a super power.?
- ?? Resentment of your parents or elders is just making excuses for yourself, and holding you back from getting better. Own your life and circumstance, and don’t assign blame. Your assignment of blame will not change your circumstance. Only you can change your circumstance by attempting to get better, daily.??
- ?? Life will throw you a curveball, which none of your training or preparation will fully prepare you for. It’s not a matter of if but when. Accept that you will most likely not be fully prepared for life’s curveballs, and thus that’s your only form of preparation. Oftentimes this curveball is in the form of adversity. Our only choice is to accept the reality of that adversity and face it the best we can. Go through it moment by moment, day by day, and most likely you will be an example for those around you.?
- ????♂? Being the best version of yourself only has the limits that you place on yourself. Your should refocus your attention on yourself to make you better, because your best competitor doesn’t give a shit about you. The world becomes better by everyone working and focusing on themselves. Focus on being the best version of you so you can inspire others to do the same. And the way to do that, is to not compare yourself to others. You have no idea how much or how little work went into making someone else be who they are. Focus on the work before you, which is about making you better.
- ???? If you’re lucky, you will lose everyone you love. What I mean by that is that if you’re lucky you and those around you will age, and by aging you learn to let go and say goodbye to many of those around you. Don’t waste time not telling your loved ones how you feel about them, and do it often. No one’s guaranteed tomorrow.?
- ???? Believe in yourself, even if no one else seems to believe in you. Believe, believe, believe even when you're at your lowest. Tap into your Higher Power, and believe. This simple practice alone can get you through the hardest times.?
- ?? If a mission is important enough it should be attempted, even if failure is highly probable. I have to give credit to Elon Musk on this one. It’s not the plane, it's the pilot that’ll get you through the hardest missions. And what is it about the pilot that usually gets them through the most difficult of missions? See Lesson 6.??
- ???? If you create a big enough legacy, someone will care enough to carry it on. Everyday matters on this planet. You can improve daily, and that daily change will have a massive compound effect over the years. Read more about the Japanese concept of Kaizen. Make the most of every single day by making small changes and improvements. Add value to the world more than you take from it. That’s an important way we make the world better.?
- ?????? In life, the ones who accomplish the most and make the world better for all are often Mavericks. This lesson is likely the most important one, and is the one that will help you to stop comparing yourself to others, which effectively pushes you into conformity, and complacency. Being a maverick in life requires you to go out on a limb, it requires you to not seek approval from others, and it requires you to be authentic to yourself and your vision of what you want to make for yourself and how to positively impact others in this life.
