These are the main reasons why an idle mind is the devil’s playground:
— People need to be physically active, or their mind tends to wander off.
— People who aren’t busy have too much time to think.
— We only ponder about the biggest issue(s) at a given time.
— We need to move around to stay mentally and physically healthy.
Summary:
— Fortune favors the bold since they’re willing to take action.
— They’re willing to take risks.
— Courage typically gets rewarded by society.
— Taking risks typically means a larger potential payoff.
Summary:
– Luck favors the prepared since they can recognize the opportunities surrounding them.
– They’re more likely to be competent enough to take advantage of these options.
– They’re able to do so since they’ve been preparing for a long time for when the right chance comes along.
Summary:
– There is more than meets the eye stands for things being more complicated than they first appear to be.
– This applies to life as well, since the entire truth isn’t always visible.
– People typically hide their true motives while showing you what they want and allow you to see.
I can recall many times when I intuitively knew something to be right without truly understanding why. Call it a gut feeling.
And while knowing something is great, comprehending how, and why that’s the case is much better since it’ll lead to more knowledge when you’re capable of connecting all the dots.
Here’s why any fool can know, but the point is to understand.
Summary:
– People are more alike than different.
– People still have their unique personalities.
– These distinct characteristics are the result of our genetics, our environment, and the experiences we go through.
We all know at least one social chameleon personality who gets along great with everyone they meet from all walks of life. Be it CEOs, electricians, teachers, doctors, or construction workers.
They aren’t always the strongest, nor the smartest. Nevertheless, they typically get done the most since they can modify their behavior to suit their environment.
Thus, the measure of intelligence is the ability to change and adapt our character to the needs of the circumstances. Here’s why.
All of us can recall a moment in our lives when we went through a traumatic event that left a wound, and a long-lasting impression before we could accept what happened, and move on.
Think of losing a loved one such as a family member, a friend, or a pet.
That’s why healing is a process and not an event. Today, I will explain the different steps to healing that can be distinguished from one another.
Going through painful experiences and events is part of the course for everyone, no matter how rich or successful we are. Sooner or later, we all get our hardships to deal with.
You must turn your wounds into wisdom to prevent future pain and biases, and to balance out your life so you can maintain your mental sanity.
Let me explain why, and how to do this.
There will always be negative people who nag about every little thing we do, no matter what we decide to pursue in life.
Whether you try to please everyone or be as authentic as possible, they’ll always be around. That’s because the issue lies with them, and not necessarily with you. They project their weaknesses and insecurities onto others instead of taking ownership and resolving these issues.
But what we can influence is how we respond to haters. Here’s how.
