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:
- You must create and look for opportunities
- Negativity will only bring more of it
- Where you are does not determine where you can go
- If you can’t help others, you can’t help yourself
- Follow your passion, money will follow
- Enjoy yourself
- If it were easy everyone would do it
- Planning is good but so is being spontaneous
- You have many talents
- Don’t work hard without rewards
- Money does bring happiness
- Someone always has it worse
- You’ll need others
- Being open-minded is the key to more knowledge
- Failure is great
- Most people are actually nice
- Words and thoughts control everything
- Your view is the reality
- Inspiration and motivation are everywhere
- 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.
