. Take Tiny Steps

A baby learns to crawl before it can walk, and it learns to walk before it can run.

Most people expect rapid life changes. If they’re wasting their time at a soul-sucking job, they expect success and fame within six months.

I’m not saying it isn’t possible, because it is, but in most cases it’s not going to happen.

People who need life changes right away don’t realize that it’s not going to make them happy anyway.

All they want is their dream of a problem-free future. When they get there, reality sets in, and another goal is set.

And the wheel keeps turning.

So realize that there will always be problems in life. It’s not our job to eliminate them, but to do our best, take tiny steps, and see where life takes us.

2. Take Quantum Leaps

Something I’ve learned in working with people is that changes can happen in an instant. Old pains, fears, and negative emotions can vanish and be replaced by something more useful.

This may seem contradictory to what I said above, but it isn’t. It’s not either/or, it’s both/and.

We don’t live in a black and white world.



As you keep taking one step at a time, you will eventually reach a tipping point where your thinking shifts.

The problem is that most people never get to those shifts. They stop drilling when they are about to hit gold.

3. Accept Where You Are

When I was 16, I started playing soccer professionally. I wasn’t going to work at a regular job, because there was no way I would survive doing that. I couldn’t stand it.

Soccer helped me realize many things, and one of them was that if I wanted to be happy, I had to accept where I was.

Things come and go. People live and die. Your life feels good, and it feels bad. The more you accept this, the easier it is to change your life.

In fact, it seems as if life changes itself when I stop pushing so hard

4. Be Patient

I’ve been building my business since 2015. I say building, but what I really mean is learning.

I stumbled a lot in the beginning. I made mistakes, I failed, and I gave up in frustration more times than I’d care to admit.

I began seeing results when I became absolutely determined to succeed.

It was a big lesson in patience. It doesn’t matter what’s going on. There will always be problems. But they don’t have to clutter up your whole life.

Be patient with your progress. Stay true to your heart.

You can change your life. Sometimes it just happens in its own time.

5. Forgive

We all have memories—painful memories.

What you may not realize is that the person hurting you with those memories is you.

You are the director of your mind. While the event may have happened in the past, it’s you who keeps playing them over and over again.

Reliving the past will get you nowhere. That’s why it’s essential to forgive and forget all those people in your memories.

You don’t even have to forgive. All you have to do is pay less attention to those thoughts and memories.

Once you see that the only one suffering is you, the grip tends to loosen.
