- Others' success will generate massive self-doubt
- Yes why is this the case?
- The biggest misconception people have is that they are the odd one out and everyone else is sorted
- The world will constantly be defining success and failure for you. Realizing this is what is called self-awareness
- Success is a relationship you have with your own self.
- Set out on that exploration. Don't wait to identify a destination
- Moving out doesn't mean quitting what you have. It means giving yourself the space to explore other things.
- Doing the same thing over and over the years does not make you gain experience in those years. Doing different things, things out of your comfort zone, to stay curious, to never rest on your laurels, to expand what you know - these truly sum up experience.
- Don't get comfortable
- No one expects a CA to make a visually colourful resume. No one expects a musician to send an Excel sheet proposal. No one expects an engineer to send a video resume. Which is why they should consider doing it! Fighting the stereotype is a great way to get attention!
- Being yourself is the coolest way to get attention. Which is scary for most people. Which is the reason most people don't.
- There is temporary discomfort in doing the unconventional. There is permanent discomfort in living life as a template.
- Mistake 9: I tool loans. Because I didn't have money yet. And I kept telling myself, "But I will have money in the future. And that's why it is okay." If you do not have the money to pay for something right now, you DO NOT have the money.
- Mistake 16: I had to make money fast, buy my parents that house, buy that fancy car, that vacation. I had to make money fast, to buy stuff. Money can buy you stuff. But the biggest thing it buys is freedom. Including freedom from stuff.
- "I wish everyone could get rich and famous and everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that's not the answer." - Jim Carrey
- Never start up because you want to make money from it. The odds of making the same money through a "boring" professional career much higher.
- The trick to waking up early is not waking up early. It is sleeping on time! The secret is to be energized, happy and productive in the morning.
- Before you assume, try this crazy thing. ASK
- It either validates your assumption or you get to understand people better. Either way, you get to be a better communicator. Win-Win :-)
- I wake up at 4:30 a.m. every morning. After meditating, singing practice and reading. I head to play tennis.
- We don't need more productivity hacks. We need to spend more time with ourselves doing what we want to do.
- The best form of writing is the one that is written neither out of fear nor with the willingness to share. Write not because you want to be liked. Write not because you want mor likes. Write not because someone else will be impressed by you. Write because you want to express yourself. Write, because you will read it. Write, because if you won't, your bottled-up emotions will harm you alone. Write, because if you won't write it, how will you ever read what you need? Write, because no one could ever be You 2.0
- It is developing the mindset that progress is a way of life
- Writing isn't the answer to clarity. The answer lies in wether we write to get more at peace or wether we write to seek validation.
- But we are not listening to the opposite person. Instead, we are listening to our mind telling us what to say. When we listen, do we truly listen or are we preparing a response in our heads.
- Your attendance doesn't define your discipline. Your attention does.
- The quality of your presence is way more important than the forced quantity of your attendance when you're not present.
- Optimize for learning, not salary. Optimize for progress, not stability. Optimize for facing fears, not for comfort.
- Over fifty percent of my waking time goes towards things that are important, but not urgent!
- Not everyone excercises. Thus, it needs to be said more often
- Everyone watches TV, it needn't be said.
- Everyone eats Pizza, it needn't be said.
- Doing the things that are the most important are the things that make you important.
- Someone younger than you is always going to be making more money than you.
- However, no matter how much success you achieve, if you are still envious, are you truly successful?
- Satisfaction is the most powerful skill to have.
- Satisfaction in your journey.
- Satisfaction in how far you've come
- Satisfaction in all the unwanted parts of you you've scooped out.
- Satisfaction in your satisfaction
- If we start making decisions knowing they are reversible, we will discover how much lies ahead of us just because we decide and act.
- Comparing yourself to others is the biggest waste of time.
- If you truly want to compare, compare yourself to who you were yesterday.
- Instead of worrying about what might happen, anticipate what might happen. Our power to imagine is both a strength and a weakness.
- We can build our own prisons through our thoughts, or let go of all bars, break ceilings and imagine the best outcome possible. The one we pick. Is the one we live with.
- Life is full of struggle. There will be a struggle in trying to live with the world by its rules. And there will be a struggle in trying to build your own world and your own rules. You get to choose the struggle.
- You are not the only one confused. You are not the only one unsure. You are not the only one struggling. You are not dumb, inadequate, incapable. Everone is struggling. Everyone is figuring it out. Dont be harsh on yourself.
- The greatest illusion is that life should be perfect!
- People who are enjoying their lives are at a competitive advantage. Imagine having all the money you want and being miserable! Imagine living life on your own terms and enjoying it like no one else:-) Joy is the ultimate advantage. Everything else just follows.
- A meaningful job need not be one that completely consumes your whole life. You may love your job. And find impeccable joy in it. Yet if it leaves you with zero or little space for yourself, it is not the one! It's important to have your space. It's super important to not let your job encroach upon your life. And it is respectful of yourself to respect those boundaries. To find meaning in your job is beautiful. Your job being the only meaning of life is scary.
- To not have a plan and be okay with it is the best plan. It will take everything to get to that point. However, imagine yourself being asked, "Where do you see yourself five years from now?" and you reply, "I do not know. And I am OK with that." That is being at peace with where you are in life, with who you are in life.
- If you are comfortable dancing in public without alcohol or drugs, you are at peace with who you are. If you love to express yourself without numbing your senses, You are at a place of untouchable joy and peace. The only intake you need is more self-belief that you are just perfect as you are!
- If you do what everyone else will do, you will end up like everyone else.
- Complaining has never ever led someone to a solution.
- Working out teaches you discipline and patience like few other things do. You can't buy a fit body. You can't cheat to get to a fit body. You can't ride on someone else to get a fit body. You can't blame anybody for not being fit. Neither can you ask someone to get fit on your behalf. It is only going to happen if you show up every day. And be patient.
- Most people who want to start a business think they should quit their job and start a startup. Not true, in my opinion. Work nights / weekends and test your idea out
- It is the employees that run a company, not the other way around.
- I invested in stocks when the markets went high, in the hope of making fast money. I sold in panic when the market tanked, so that I didnt lose money. It should have been the exact opposite.
- If you have excess cash, wait. Wait for the right opportunity. Wait patiently. Wait for markets to drop. "No one wants to get rich slowly" - Warren Buffet
- Mistake: Renting your time and not owning any assets. Because we have to spend time working, to earn. Assets, on the other hand, make money, even when we sleep. Start a company. Own stocks. Create rental income.
- Holding a grudge against someone requires a lot of effort. Think of all the wasted time spent being mad ad someone. You have decided to trade your peace for seeking revenge. When we hold a grudge against someone, we do the same thing they did to us: hurt us. They hurt us once. We hurt ourselves 100x by repeating it in our heads.
- It takes effort to find love. It takes effort to feel fulfilled. It takes effort to be fit. It takes effort to be happy. Which is why most of us do not have love, fulfilment, happiness or fitness in our life.
- How we treat others is a reflection of how we treat ourselves. Truly happy, fulfilled and soaring people never ever make others feel bad about themselves. The inner world drives the outer. Period.
