It’s fun to watch people from different places or with different mindsets as they move through their day. Some are speeding through, making rapid progress. Others are sauntering along like they’ll live to 200 with no ageing. Choose your pace but it dictates your race. Are you in the race to win? Move with pace.
Use your body well. It helps keep the mind well too. Stay fit from childhood. But if you become unfit for some reason…. Get fit. Keep fit.
There are stimulants and triggers everywhere. Do your best to calm your mind. If you think of life as a marathon and there is time to deal with it all, you will be more calm. Also, only be concerned with what you can actually change. If you cannot impact it, including the opinion of others, just let it go.
Calm your mind and enjoy the ride.
But don’t use money. Use words or deeds. Or you can use touch, a look, or a song. Surprise them. You’ll probably both feel great.
You need five key skills in life. That is all. Not 2,000 and not even 200. Nor are they difficult. But without these you will struggle.
Learn to work diligently and with pride.
Be appropriate with money. This includes spending less than you earn.
Be selective with your time. Enjoying time spent is one thing. However, wasting it, especially repeatedly, is an entirely different story.
Learn to be kind to others. This also includes being well mannered.
Finally, be grateful and appreciate all of the people and things that are in your life.
Yes, you could list more here. I could even break some of these down to be more specific. But generally, if you can manage to do these five things, within the broader context of your life, you will do well. By which I mean you will earn a decent living, be joyful, live with little stress and retire on your own means.
Work on these five key skills in life every day.
You know attributes that you like in others. When you notice something you’re not fond of in others, check if you ever do it too. If so, remember to shift a little. It’s rarely easy, but you have the choice to become your ideal person. Good luck!
