12 Lessons in 2021

#1: Everyone’s journey is unique, everyone’s pace in life is different. Never force or rush things. Respect divine timing. Learn to balance between the need to control and the natural flow of things.

 

#2: “To be nobody-but-yourself — in a world which is doing its best, day and night, to make you like everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight”. Do what is true to YOU, not what is claimed by society. Never fall into the comparison trap.

 

#3: Nothing in life is permanent, including life itself. Give yourself permission to change or pivot when things don’t align with your truth anymore. Don’t let fear and societal conventions hold you back.

 

#4: “To learn is to live”. You don’t need to have it all figured out. What you need, however, is to know which path to be headed, take one step ahead persistently and consistently everyday. Things will fall into place naturally.

 

#5: Parents will give advice based on their understanding of reality. In essence, they just want you to be happy and to do good in life.

#6: Not everyone deserves your explanation. Don’t waste your energy justifying your decisions to people who is not worth your time.

 

#7: Have a desire, make a plan, do your best, put it out to the Universe, then surrender and have faith.

 

#8: Always appreciate those who were with you along your life journey.

 

#9: “Between stimulus and response, there is a space. And in the space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom”. Always be consistent and aligned with your life principles and values.

 

#10: The foundation of life is love — in work, business, relationship, health and wealth.

 

#11: It’s easier to love and to give from a full and happy heart.

 

#12: Money is our life energy — we trade our time and energy to achieve it, by providing value to others.
