Thoughts of the Week: August 11, 2023
Focusing on your own happiness can drastically change your outlook.
Steer away from negative mindsets. This doesn’t just apply to the company you keep, but also being mindful of your own attitude and what you’re bringing into the spaces you enter — remember that negativity rarely carries benefit. It might be a cliché, but learning to protect & prioritize your own positivity — keeping your own happiness at the forefront — is a difficult lesson for many people…and it’s also essential.
Make optimism and positivity a priority.
Do things with purpose, avoid just taking things on out of obligation (just saying “yes”), and enter the things you choose realizing your own good fortune to have the ability to wake up, push forward in your career, your business, or in your personal life.
Choosing your endeavors, keeping negativity at bay, and being deliberate in how you pursue what lies ahead, makes life intrinsically feel better. It’s a key to happiness to be deliberate. Take on today, and the weekend ahead, with intention.
1. Don’t settle for mediocrity — always strive to be your best.
2. Incredible visual from @lizandmollie on the importance of looking at the big picture. Your low points now are leagues higher than where you began.
3. You are your worst critic, and the satisfaction of proving yourself wrong is like no other.
4. Head over to r/UltraSuccessful to get involved with a community of people that pushes each other forward.
This was brilliant - my key takeout from this roundup is "perspective". A nice nudge to look behind me every once in a while rather than keeping my head down and forging on.
I do not always comment, yet I get something (multiple somethings, actually!) beneficial from every Thoughts of the Week email and every weekly edition of Ultra Successful, so I am truly grateful to you for improving and enriching my life. Thank you!
