10 Guaranteed Secrets To Improving Your Life by 657% Immediately.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN... I don't know about the 657% figure because I just made it up, but it's definitely a lot and could be even more.
Maybe, I will semi-withdraw the guarantee for now and you can let me know at the end if I was right?
Read on to find out why...
Here's 10 little secrets about life.
- It's meant to be tough.
Sorry.
Well actually, I'm not.
That bit is built in, but it's also no tougher than you can handle.
That's part of the design.
2. You have to get control back.
One of the first things to do is believe that YOU are the number one cause of everything your life has thrown at you.
This comes as a direct result of the choices which you have made AND the ones you didn't make.
So make better choices from now on and take ownership of everything.
Stop playing the 'Blame Game'
3. Take things on the chin.
Don't mentally punish yourself for things that go wrong, but also learn from your own bad choices.
Your life should be a learning curve of moving towards getting better at decision making. Treat it like a game where practice makes better THEN perfect THEN permanent.
4. Surround yourself with positive people.
You don't have to carry anyone. I mean it. Top motivator Tony Robbins talks about the Power of 7. He states that the 7 people closest to you will have such an influence over your thoughts and decision making that your life will be a direct reflection of the average of them.
So therefore, your happiness, relationships, emotional stability, wealth and health will depend on their conversations and advice.
This makes sense, doesn't it?
It also makes sense to remove the negative and least successful people too. Even if they are family. Sad to say. You didn't choose them.
You can deselect or decrease their influence now.
Too often negative people leech off your positivity and bring your happiness down.
Stop that happening.
You don't have to get rid of them (especially if they are related), but you don't have to entertain them or spend much time dealing with them either.
5. Turn your car/ phone/ office into a university.
Get audiobooks and podcasts and load them into your daily routine. Learn everything on the go.
Dump radio. It's brain candy. It's like sugar, sweet and not really that good for you.
Dump the news. Same reasons.
Remember bad news sells better. This brings larger audiences. That makes higher sponsorship fees. This guarantees bigger revenue. BUT that news is 99.9% irrelevant to you. If it actually affected you, you'd know about it already and then you could Google the rest to find out how to deal with it.
6. Eat better.
You are what you eat as your body has to work out how to create your cells and muscles from whatever you feed it.
If you are 100% fast food and pastry are you surprised that you feel tired or have bad skin or get angry/ upset very easily?
7. Set loads of big fat goals.
Set bigger goals and break down how you get to them into manageable steps and bite sized chunks.
Write everything down.
You may be smart enough to remember most of them but nobody can keep tweaking and updating efficiently enough to make all their dreams come true without keeping a record. There are a ton of apps that do this and you can also fall back on having a notebook in your back pocket.
8. Learn to sell.
This is the single most effective way to become wealthier and without it, you are just a storekeeper with a 'Back Soon' sign across the front door.
9. Learn to speak in public and present your thoughts and ideas more effectively.
Most kids can do it but lose the power of confidence at some point in their school career. Usually after some humiliation by the teacher or peer group but that should never prevent them from being able to influence group thinking and decision making. Get some help communicating with NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and get your power back.
And lastly...
10. Work out your life purpose.
- Why are you here?
- What is the legacy that you will leave behind and be remembered for long after you die?
- How did you make the world a better place?
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently sent out a call/challenge to all Millennials to discover their noble goal.
I wrote a whole article on this too.
Once you have a higher calling, you will be able to elevate above daily trials and tribulations by focusing more on where you are going to be and not so much on where you are now.
Once you have done all the above, come back to me and let's see what else we can tweak.
Have an amazing day.
Every single day.
It's your right and your choice.
It's also more fun.
