The true lottery winners are those who got married to someone high-energy, mentally stable, intellectually curious, and above all, overflowing every day in gratitude and optimistic energy, to be able to learn, to be able to grow, to be able to experience the ups and downs of life
As they get older, most people stop reading books and studies that make them feel dumb, that's precisely why they stop getting smarter, it has nothing to do with age.
You will inevitably meet unpleasant people once in a while, people who actively choose to be rude and get angry whenever they can; mirroring their behavior isn't the solution, you should instead remember that no wealthy, happy person acts that way, then refocus on your own goals.
If you are serious about your goal, you will always find a way no matter how many detours it takes; and if you are not serious about your goal, you will always find an excuse no matter how much support you get.
If you are still lucky to have close family and friends in their seventies, eighties, nineties, you are actually blessed, listen with an open mind, they might not be the best version of themselves anymore, but you are getting a glimpse of where you are headed too regardless of how smart you think you are: stay kind and curious, leave your hasty judgments aside, you will gradually notice as you get older how much truth these people embodied about life, you simply had to learn how to read between the lines.
Long-lasting relationships are never forced, they happen serendipitously, they involve people who are not trying to change each other, they don't require constant maintenance, both sides feel lucky they met each other, both sides are growing independently in a similar direction.
You unnecessarily suffer mentally when you take yourself too seriously.
If you are lucky to be alive and woke up this morning with the opportunity to improve your life, that’s all you need to feel grateful.
Step back a little bit, focus on the positive, don’t live in your mind.
Money isn't the goal, it's the starting line, it's when you start discovering who you are when you are free from financial stress, it's when you can afford to follow your true interests and invest in your talents, it's when you start blooming into who you always wanted to be.
There is no greater asset than the freedom to spend your time as you wish, with people you like, in a town you love, whilst getting a bit closer every day to who you want to be.
