How to Win At Life
Welcome to the Winner’s Circle! It’s official! You are winning at life just by reading this article. Now the rest is a cake walk. The way to win at life is to stop caring. Stop caring so much about any person, place, or thing outside of you.
If you are a parent, I know that one sounds counter intuitive but as a parent it is the best thing I could have ever done. I don’t care because I cared entirely too much. First and foremost, I cared about my parents and grandparents approval. That is by far one of the biggest mistakes we make in life. You can’t appease your parents or grandparents. Unfortunately, nothing you do will ever satisfy them. So please don’t waste your time trying.
The second biggest mistake we make is trying to fit into societal norms and expectations. Good luck with that. Society changes so often it’s a never ending race. Hence the rat race to keep up with the Joneses. You will be chasing societies approval forever. There is no end in sight. Just be you. No matter what that looks like.
The third mistake we make is we try to fit in with our friends. Friendships don’t last forever. They are temporary snapshots of who we are at the moment. They help us form our ever changing identity. We look for validation among our friends. A sounding board or an understanding ear.
The way to avoid these mistakes and truly win at life is to stop seeking approval outside of yourself. There is no one but you that can help you decide. All the answers you seek are within. So stop asking for others opinions, thoughts, or comments. Because ultimately they don’t matter. All that matters is what you think and feel.
Keep reflecting on this article and see how you have been hindering yourself from truly winning in life.
