List of principles to remind me of what I believe in
- Self Dicipline
- If I decided to achieve a goal I have to control myself in order to achieve it
- It’s ok to change goals. but if the decision is to have this goal then being lazy about it is not an option
- Helping book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?…
- Tell the truth
- If I can’t tell the truth don’t lie
- It’s easier on the brain to be truthful
- Lying requires remembering the lies to continue the narrative
- So it’s simpler to just tell the truth
- Eat to live
- It’s ok to enjoy some food.
- I don’t live to eat. eating is not a goal it’s a mean to live.
- When you’re not hungry anymore stop eating. It doesn’t matter if the plate is not empty
- Don’t be in debt
- Don’t buy anything unless you have the money to buy it many times
- Don’t buy unless you need to
- Excess money can be used to buy things you want (not need)
- Pay yourself first
- Money is not a goal
- The goal is to be able to make money when I want to fulfill my needs.
- Spending money on investing in yourself raises your value. and in effect your ability to make money.
- Investing in yourself is the highest investment you can do in life and it’s never a losing investment.
- Being a good person
- Being a good person in the general sense is not an easy principle.
- You can’t be a good person for everyone, but you can be a good person for a large number of people
- The goal is to maximize the number of people that consider you a good person.
