Andrew Galasetti of Lyved wrote an interesting piece on… well… on life.

He lists (with explanations) 20 things his life has taught him up to this point:

1. You must create and look for opportunities
2. Negativity will only bring more of it
3. Where you are does not determine where you can go
4. If you can’t help others, you can’t help yourself
5. Follow your passion, money will follow
6. Enjoy yourself
7. If it were easy everyone would do it
8. Planning is good but so is being spontaneous
9. You have many talents
10. Don’t work hard without rewards
11. Money does bring happiness
12. Someone always has it worse
13. You’ll need others
14. Being open-minded is the key to more knowledge
15. Failure is great
16. Most people are actually nice
17. Words and thoughts control everything
18. Your view is the reality
19. Inspiration and motivation are everywhere
20. You can change the world

I urge you to give it a read-through and decide for yourself what you think of it and of your life in general.

I urge myself to think.  I need to be more positive and to dedicate more time to myself rather than to others.  One of my personal problems is that I am usually too eager to jump to help.  What I should really do is distribute my time and my help more sparingly and realize for myself what my time is really worth.

I really think that in this way people would respect me more and would actually value my advice better.  And I will have more time to give it.  It’s an opposite of catch-22, I suppose.  The less time I dedicate to helping the more time I will have to help :).

I need to think further on this but this article did get me started in that direction.
