A Life of Wonder

A close friend reminded me of many things I already knew but seemed to have forgotten: 

• Healthy personal and business relationships begin with loving and forgiving yourself.
• Make time for the important, non-urgent aspects of your life and career.
• Consider doing yoga, three times a week, and watch your life change in six months.
• Put aside the daily news and updates in service of universal lessons and contemplation.
• Mediate, and the place where you mediate should not matter as much as the act itself.
• Commit to trying something for 7 days, then evaluate it.
• Spend real time understanding why you do things. Build a company around people who share the same why.

Of all the points he shared, being patient with myself resonated the most. Without that, none of the other points are possible. The conversation also wasn’t a cheesy self-help one either. My friend has gone through difficult times and emerged a good person and successful businessman. This advice was given from his experience and shared her for our benefit.

What’s the best advice you have received lately from a friend?
