Everyone is succeeding at life, except for you.

Truth? Hardly. Useful mindset to adopt? Absolutely.

Many of us are on the never-ending quest toward self-improvement and awareness. This is just another exercise to put you closer to those goals.

Every problem, situation, and person you encounter has a lesson to teach you. Just like we did all throughout our school years, it is up to us to decide which lesson we will listen to and learn from. Try to imagine everyone you encounter is a teacher who was sent specifically for you.

When you find yourself in a less-than-desirable moment, don’t run from it. Immerse yourself entirely in the moment. Use your five senses to help ground yourself in the present.

For example, the old person in front of me at the checkout lane. Instead of turning to my phone for a temporary distraction, I turn inward to see what emotions this moment is evoking within me.
