Life Lesson 1

A goal is not always meant to be reached; it often serves simply as something to aim at. Goals serve as something to aim
for, so dont get too hung up on reaching them. Focus on enjoying the journey and the process. If youre hiking on a
beautiful trail, your goal is to get to your end destination, but that doesnt mean you cant enjoy the walk, or even change
direction. Be open, be flexible.

Life Lesson 2
"Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow su rvives by bending with the wind." The
happiest people in the world are flexible. They do not have rigid beliefs or try to control and manipulate their surroundings
to make them happy. They are okay with how things are. They accept, they live in the now and they breathe. If you want
to have a fulfilling and happy life, be flexible and accept things as they are.

Life Lesson 3
If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of. Theres no time for procrastinating, making
excuses and succumbing to your fears. I know it can be hard, but you will ultimately die, so why not make the best of your
life? Dont waste time; instead start boldly moving towards your dreams. You will fail and make mistakes along the way,
so stay humble and stay in the now.

Life Lesson 4
Real living is living for others. The most satisfying way to live is to help and enrich the life of others. If you can find a
way to solve other peoples problems while following your passion, you will have found the ideal way to li ve.

Life Lesson 5
Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against. If we want the earth to become
better, we have to let go of judgment, prejudice and rigid beliefs. There is no need to be right or wrong, or say that you are
better than someone else. Everything is as it is. If you do not like it, you can do something else, but do not inject negativ e
energy, because it never does any good.

Life Lesson 6
I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. If
you want to get results and master something, you have to stop dabbling and jumping around from thing to thing. Commit
to something and follow through. Most people quit before any results can appear. They give up too soon. Dont be one of
those people!

Life Lesson 7
Using no way as way, using no limitation as limitation. You impose your own limitations. Even if a guru tells you that
something is impossible doesnt mean it is. He or she is human just like you. Remember, most great people were told they
could never accomplish something, but they went ahead and did it anyway. Listen to yourself and do what excites you.

Life Lesson 8
Simplicity is the key to brilliance. Simplify your life and eliminate the unnecessary. We as a society have been taught to
consume and amass material possessions. Luckily, we are starting to realize that this doesnt work. Happiness comes from
the inside, not from the outside. Simplicity gives you clarity and peace of mind.

Life Lesson 9
"Absorb what is useful, Discard what is not, Add what is uniquely your own." In the beginning, learn from someone you
look up to, but as you get better and more successful, take what works and discard what doesnt. We are all unique, so we
have to find our own groove and start listening to ourselves. Listen to your heart for guidance. Where is it trying to pull
you?

Life Lesson 10
"Knowing is not enough, you must apply; willing is not enough, you must do." You can read all the information you want,
but if you never take action, nothing will happen. You will almost never have crystal clear clarity, so you will have to
work through confusion and uncertainty. I know you want a rock-solid guarantee that will tell you that you will be
successful, but in reality, no such thing exists. You have to start moving in order to get to where you want to be.

Life Lesson 11
"The martial arts are ultimately self-knowledge. A punch or a kick is not to knock the hell out of the guy in front, but to
knock the hell out of your ego, your fear, or your hang-ups. Everything you do involves your ego. Its the one that is
afraid. It wants you to stay where things are comfortable, convenient and safe. If you listen to your heart, you know that
this isnt the path for you. Go after your dreams and do so boldly. Accept the fear inside you and keep moving.

Life Lesson 12
As you think, so shall you become. Think about what you are thinking today. What do those thoughts say about you?
About your life? And how well do they really match your plans for your life and your image of yourself?

Life Lesson 13
Its not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential. If you spend too much time thinking about a
thing, youll never get it done. Thinking has its place. It can help you plan a somewhat realistic route to your goal and
help you avoid future pitfalls. Over-thinking is however just a habit that will help you waste a lot of time. Its more useful
to replace that habit with the habit of just doing it.

Life Lesson 14
To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. What you see, feel and hear in other people may be a
reflection of you. The things you learn by thinking this way may not always be pleasant, but they can be enlightening.
They help you to see yourself and also how you may be fooling yourself. And these powerful insights can be very valuable
for your personal growth. So, in interactions with others, try asking yourself: what is reflected?

Life Lesson 15
Im not in this world to live up to your expectations and youre not in this world to live up to mine. Showing off is the
fools idea of glory. To find more emotional stability and to take control of how you feel you need to get your validation
from to a more consistent source. Yourself. You can replace the expectations and validation of others by setting your own
expectations and by validating yourself.
Life Lesson 16
To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities. Living proactively is so much more rewarding and excit ing.

Life Lesson 17
Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and
duplicate it. But I believe that being the real you will work better. Because there the genuine you is shining through.
Without incongruency, mixed messages or perhaps a sort of phoniness. Its you to 100%. Its you with not only your
words but you with your voice tonality and body language which some say is over 90% of communication on the same
wavelength as your words. Its you coming through on all channels of communication.
