One bad habit I constantly need to work on is comparing myself to others.
You are your own person with your own qualities and experiences.
By comparing yourself to others you are disrespecting the wonderful things about you.
Focus on yourself and no one else.
I just want to be around people that talk about leveling up and positively making moves. I don't have time for negative talk. Always look to improve and be better or get out of the way.
One thing I love about myself is that I ruthlessly seek the truth. I want to know the objective truth. What Is actually the right thing? This is where perspective comes in. We can talk all day about this.
Don't know where to start?
Try a bunch of things. You will never know what you don't know until you dive in. It is an illusion that we are running out of time.
Yes, have urgency but it's ok to slow down too.
Why am I The Mental Engineer?
I'm a problem solver. I got into the profession of Engineering by coincidence.
I could have done anything else but I value my time. My goal is to be free and have all my time to do whatever I want.
My main goal in life is to lift up others around me. I want to help my friends reach their dreams as much as I want to reach mine. I believe helping others helps us in the long run. Think big picture and stop being self-centered.
What is your idea of success?
My take on it is if you are working toward something you are successful.
everyone's version of success is different so don't compare. It's YOU vs YOU.
I tend to be too hard on myself
The only thing we can do is try our best and move on.
If you give it your all you won't live in regret that you could of done more.
Reminder:
We tend to be our own biggest critics. Be easy on yourself but understand the reality of things. There is time to be hard on yourself but not all the time. It's a balancing act. Find the middle and keep going.
When you assume responsibility for all things in your life, you win.
There is no one to blame for your shortcomings but yourself.
There is power in knowing that you can make it happen. Everything falls on you.
Believe in yourself.
