3 things that you are grateful for:
- For this reality and my place in it
- For all the life there is to live in front of me
- For my background as it was
1 thing that you can do better:
- Attention
Notes:
You need to control just one thing: the mind (you choose what you focus on and where your attention goes)
Don’t give your mind so easy
Pay attention to what is in front of you (enough so you see what you have to see)
Contempt gives you objectivity
Real listening implies implementation
Many have outward humility but inward pride (flip it up)
Make beauty with what you have
Learn from everybody that you meet, even if is not what to do
Have the humility to listen
Don’t tell that you are humble show
The good life is get by the ones that are humble enough to do the dirty work
Learn as much you can from everything and everyone
Good artists copy great artists steal
Steal from others mind
Your humbleness level shows you the quality of your life
Life as we found it is too hard for us so we find these methods to deal with it:
- diversions
- substitute gratifications
- intoxicating substances
We are not humble because of the fear of someone taking advantage of that
You have to become a child to get the kingdom
Be humble enough to do the work
Humility in action not in words
Practical takeaways:
-read more (look for pieces of gold)
-more seminars, life events
-track and spend time with peoples that are where you want to by
-spend more money on your mind
To have a meaningful life be humble enough to say that you don’t have the answers
Own everything, put everything on you that’s how you grow (taking on responsibility for everything and dealing with it)
You find meaning by taking on responsibility for growing up in any area of your life
