Basics to remember

Lights out Alice!

For a while now I have been focusing on the wrong things and wasting my time on the wrong people to the extend that I have forgotten myself and things I need to do to get better over time. Failing at this really hurts me more than anything but hey, there is still time to pick up the pieces and start again. I don't mind falling as long as I get to start again and make progress. Never giving up is the point and I get pissed at myself if I am not trying.

Here are simple rules that Pages 168 and 171 of Robert Greene's Laws of Human Nature remind us to keep in mind:

From your past:

• Remember what you have liked or disliked as a kid and while growing up
• What really feeds yours soul and what drains it
• What makes you you

With the future:

• Filter activities and choices according to what you ACTUALLY like/dislike
• Align everything with your long term goal
• Don't do things that have no positive impact on your long term
• Remember to be grateful and lean onto people/ things that matter

Stop:

• Reacting to people and their shortsightedness
• Getting angry and losing your cool
• Getting frustrated - nothing is ever in your control anyways

Lights out Alice!
