COUNT DOWN OF 50 OF THE BEST LIFE HACKS/MARGINAL GAINS FOR A BETTER FUTURE SELF #45


#45. Live YOUR Life

 

Who’s life do you want to live?

The one your parents or your friends want for you? 

Or, the one that fairy tales taught you?  

Or the life that the media tells you?

It’s your life.  Live it on your terms.

Don’t live other people’s lives.

Don’t try to keep up with the Jones's.   

Do what makes you happy.  

Know what you want, and what you need.   

Don’t let other people’s expectations for you rule your life, or limit the life that you want to lead.

People pleasing wears you out, unless you find a way to please yourself first.

#46. Decide Who You Want To Be



Own your choice and live it like you mean it.

One day when I was running around the halls at work, putting out fires, one of my mentors stopped me and asked, “How do you want others to experience you?”

Not like a chicken with its head cut off.

More like James Bond and on top of the situation.

How do you want others to experience you?

How do YOU want to experience you?

Start from there, and drive from that.

You’ll immediately start creating more of the experiences that you want, and less of those that you don’t.

#47. Decide Who You Are


Define yourself.

Don’t let others define you or what you’re capable of.

My favorite answer to “Who are you?” is from Scott Adams:
“You are what you learn.”
