  • Goals Are Means Not Ends

    Do not see your goals as the end of the journey. When you achieve the goal, it should be the building to another goal. Stacking goals is an amazing approach to accomplishing more than you ever imagined. Give it a shot. Prompts: When was the last time you achieved a goal that led to another goal? What were both goals? #LessonsWithAKing

  • Practice Reinforcement Learning

    My love for learning is from my grandmother. Don't get me wrong, lessons and indeed learning might not be fun but the more you practice, the easier it gets. Reinforcement learning is essential learning by trying and iterating. Try something, learning a way not to do it, adapt, try again, on and on and on. Prompts: What was the last thing you learned? How did you learn it? #LessonsWithAKing

  • It Can Always Be Worse
    There's a poem by Keanu Reeves titled "Ode To Happiness", you can Google it. It's super sad but it's super powerful. The premise is, essentially, no matter how bad shit is, it can be worse. I know there are many people that won't accept this lesson or feel comfortable about it but that's ok. I do know that when shit happens, it's easier to handle and to focus on learning the lesson and moving forward because I know well, it could totally be worse. I'm starting something new moving forward by having each lesson have prompts (things to do and/or questions to reflect on). Here are today's prompts: What's the worst thing you are experiencing now? What could be even worse than that? #LessonsWithAKing

  • The Law Of 100
    Before you quit something, do it 100 times and you will find out that you just might be great at it. Also, make sure you get better just a bit with each iteration. Bit by bit and at number 100, you just might find out you want to keep at it; just like I do and will with Lessons With A King. #LessonsWithAKing

  • Learn The Rules, Understand The Rules, Then Do Whatever You Fucking Want With Them
    If you are doing anything, you have to make sure you learn the rule, practice so you understand the rules and when you do, you can go ahead and do what you want with that rule. The rules keep you grounded and safe but after having a deep understanding of the rule, it's up to you to do what you want. #LessonsWithAKing

  • Go 360
    When you are doing anything, make sure you take a look at it from all angles. Things might appear awesome from one angle but not from another. Also, make sure you get a bird's eye view because from way up there you can see a lot better and use that knowledge to decide how to move forward. #LessonsWithAKing

  • Embrace Others
    We are all different and that's a good thing. If we were all the same, the world might seem nice for a while but eventually, it would get super boring. It's the variety that we have that makes our planet so interesting. We have to be comfortable with others and make sure we embrace everyone. We have to accept people for who they are. #LessonsWithAKing

  • Be Colourful
    Bring some colour into your life. From art to the outfits you wear to the tiny little things on your desk. Colours have a way of making our lives a lot better. #LessonsWithAKing

  • Get A Massage
    No seriously, when you can get a massage. We are super tense and we need to get some massage to ease that stress. It doesn't even have to be that often but when we can, a massage is important. #LessonsWithAKing

  • Get By With Help From Your Friends
    The friends we have, matter a lot. If you don't have the right friends, when shit hits the fan, they will be nowhere to be found. With true friends you know you will be a lot better for it because you know when you need help and reach out to them, they will show up. #LessonsWithAKing
