1. Sole Responsibility:

Who you are now is a result of your past self, and who you will be in six months depends on who you are today.

You may not always control what happens to you, but you have 100% control over how you respond to it.

2. Focus on What You Can Control

Focusing on things beyond your control leads to more misery in life. As Ivan Nuru wisely noted, “If it’s out of your hands, it deserves freedom from your mind as well.”

3. Be Kind

The way I see it, kindness is the rent we pay for our brief stay on this beautiful planet Earth.

Be kind not only to your friends, family, and boss but also to every person you encounter in life, as you may never know what someone is going through behind those seemingly cheerful smiles.
