Lesson 341:  Learn Something From Everyone You Meet

Every meeting you have is an opportunity to learn something new. No matter how knowledgeable you might be, there are people that know things you don't. It's a good idea, then, to try to learn something new from them. No matter their age, status, language, whatever it might be, go into every meeting with an open mind, ready and willing to learn.

PROMPT: What did you learn from the last person you met?

Lesson 337: Promise Less 

One way to ensure we keep our promises is by promising less but by promising things that matter to those we are promising. When you promise less, you increase the value that comes with your process, you have the time to do the work required. Another important advantage of promising less is that you are not overwhelmed by the things you have to do to keep the promise you made.

PROMPT: How comfortable are you with making promises?

Lesson 335: Curate Thoughtfully

It's your Instagram page, it's your TikTok, it's your Facebook so yes, you can share whatever you want. However, you should thoughtfully consider the things you share because you don't know who might be checking out your profile. Share things that will make people experiencing it feel better. Curate with care.

PROMPT: How do you decide what you share on your platform?

Lesson 334: Make Others Better

Whenever people come into your life, you should do what you can to make them better versions of themselves; you should leave them feeling a lot better than when they met you. It isn't a big ask. All you have to do is care and show that care. Bit by bit, you will see that it's just a part of you.

PROMPT: What positive ways do you influence the people in your circle?

Lesson 333: Not Every Urgent Thing Is Important

We are gradually becoming controlled by our phones. It dings and we jump to it. However, we need to learn that not everything that appears urgent is important. We have to define what's important to us and then focus on that. We should also create systems and processes because those will reduce the number of urgent things we have to do.

Lesson 332:  Habits Are Instilled By Rituals

Religious communities understand the power of rituals. If you want to build a habit, keep making decisions but another way is to create a ritual around it. If this happens, we do this, this way. Keep at it and before you know it, it just becomes the way you do things.

PROMPT: What are some rituals you have?
