Friendly reminder that you choose your reactions. You don't have to go into a fit of rage when an idiot cuts you off in traffic. You could laugh instead, and if you choose to react that way consistently enough, the quality of your life goes through the roof.
Marcus Aurelius wrote this over 1800 years ago:
“It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.”
Do hard shit. Not because it’s fun. But because the win actually means something. You bled for it. You broke for it. You fucking earned it. Easy wins are forgettable. Hard ones change you. That’s the point.
A peak life advice from Alex Hormozi:
“The single greatest skill you can develop is the ability to stay in a great mood in the absence of things to be in a great mood about.”
Good relationships get better with work. Bad relationships need constant work just to stay the same. The trick is knowing which kind of relationship you’re working on.
The average person does not try to solve their problems or struggles. They get stuck in a routine and live the same day over and over. It does not cross their minds to snap out of it, engage in strategic thinking, and change direction so they can eventually reach a more advantageous position in life.
If you want to get ahead of 90% of people, all you have to do is pause, think, and actually attempt to overcome the struggle you're faced with.
