HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL:

HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL:

focus on your own shit.

Wake up and open your curtains. Your windows too.

Drink some tea or coffee, whatever pleases you. Notice every sip.

Have some fresh fruit and finish breakfast feeling full.

Stand outside and feel the air. Cool or warm, it will make you feel real.

Get some exercise. Yoga to soothe, running to breathe, lifting for strength.

Take care of your body. Have a nice shower and pamper as much as you want afterward. 

If you’re going to work, remember you have the chance to make anyone’s day or to ruin it. Act accordingly. 

Weed out the bad language. It’s only creating tension in your body and mind. Kind words are infinitely more appreciated.

Take some time each day to improve your mind. Keep reading that great book. Listen to an incredible piece of music. Practice an instrument or a skill. The progress is its own reward.

Pictures will help you remember how wonderful life is. But spend less time on your phone and more time seeing the world face to face. 

Go to sleep knowing that you have done well. Tomorrow is there with room to become even better.

-Notes to myself on how to become a better person this summer.

A piece of advice from my favorite podcast, My Favorite Murder. If you’re getting a bad vibe from someone or if the hair on the back of your neck is standing up, you don’t have to keep talking to them or do what they ask. You can turn around and get the fuck out of there.

One does not need to tell the whole world about one’s skill in order to feel confident about them. Celebrate your skills, but celebrate them in silence. Work hard on your skills, be proud, but do not push this onto others, and thus, remain humble. There will be opportunities given to you in which you will be able to show how talented you are, which by all means, show the world your strength! However until then, simply remind yourself every now and again of how amazing you are, and live knowing that you’re trying your very best with this beautiful development of your character.
