4 Life Concepts That Keep Me Going

↓

I very much procrastinated writing this week's newsletter, so it's a short one—enjoy!

We all have days when we just can’t seem to get out of bed; it’s natural. But when life gets really tough, when getting up doesn't even feel worth it anymore, what do we do?

No matter how lonely or miserable you are, someone out there is waiting for your presence. Someone is waiting to see you. Whether it’s a coworker, friend, family member, or colleague, it doesn't matter. They miss you. They need you. Get up and go see them.

You matter.

Yes, we live on a floating rock in—as far as we know—an infinite universe. And guess what, that universe is expanding.

Once you zoom out and realize how tiny you are, your problems seem much less significant.

So, the test you’re scared to fail, that speech you worried about, or that thought that’s nagging at you, I promise, is not worth the stress.

Nothing is as serious as it seems. Focus on what you can control.

In a world full of sameness, people admire authenticity.

Say “hi” to everyone you walk by. Remember their name and say it with conviction. Be honest when no one else will. Speak up when everyone else is scared. Dress up when everyone else dresses down.

Doors open when you stand out.

“Did you hear what Ashley said? She’s an idiot. I can’t stand her.”

I’m sure you’ve been in a conversation that sounded something like this. Gossip is no way to judge someone. Most of the time, it’s not even accurate. You should judge people objectively, with empathy, and with firsthand knowledge or experience.

Never let gossip or rumors determine what you think about others.

PS - I found this quite funny!

Until next week,
