Really Rich

Too many times, a business will hire someone based on if that person has a Degree or not. This is NOT a smart strategy as we are seeing more than ever that a Degree can only show you so much about a person. A lot of companies want to skim thru the interviewing and just rely on paperwork like resumes and testing, which leads to hiring whoever looks best on paper when the real key to running a business is knowing what person works best with what people on any given assignment. Knowing the person and not just how much schooling they went thru, is the key to a successful relationship with an employee which leads to a better work culture, which leads to higher morale, which leads to an amazing, well run company filled with teammates instead of coworkers. Don’t rely too heavily on a piece of paper that says someone is smart.

No matter what bad things have happened in your life or what kind of pain and suffering you’ve dealt with, the fact that you are still here, shows that you are a champion! Acknowledge the wrong in your life and learn from it, then move forward. Don’t get stuck feeling that it’s never gonna happen for you so why even try. Make a gameplan, focus on the good that can come from the future and when things don’t go your way, don’t blame your environment, or your past or the people around you. Hold yourself accountable, stay positive and keep moving in the right direction.

If you spend too much time working, you could burn yourself out, even if it’s something you love. If you just sit around and live life you risk never really discovering your purpose. I think we all need balance in our lives to keep our sanity and be able to appreciate things that bring us happiness. Don’t overdo it one way or the other.

Stop spending money you don’t have, to buy things you don’t like, to impress people you don’t even know. Save a little whenever you can to prepare for anything that comes up. Sometimes if you save enough, for long enough, it can help change your life. It can get you out of that job you hate and starting your own thing that you actually love. Prepare for your future every chance you get.

Whether you love or hate someone, if they do or say something good, acknowledge that it’s good instead of finding a way to think negatively towards them. This doesn’t mean that you have to celebrate them or praise them, but at least recognize when something is good, regardless who it’s coming from. Constantly thinking negatively towards anybody is no way to live your life and the only person it hurts, is you.

Regardless of the situation or circumstance, worrying does NOT help anything. It’s good to be aware of possible outcomes but literally NOTHING positive happens to you or anyone else, when you worry. It only causes stress which can destroy you.

Money and Things can only supply us temporary moments of happiness. Appreciating what you have in this life is what gives you the perspective of gratitude and the knowledge of what it actually means to be happy. Every thing that you purchase will eventually get old and when it does, that thing won’t bring joy into your life anymore. Focus on the Intangibles like health, family, wisdom, etc. and when you can APPRECIATE and be THANKFUL, it’s hard to be miserable.

A lot of people have never experienced how life is lived outside of the United States, yet they want to talk about how bad they think America is. Is America as bad as they say? Let’s see.

If you have a passion to do something or a certain goal you wanna hit, don’t wait for other people to support you because that day may never come. Support yourself, motivate yourself and clap for your damn self and stop worrying about who else likes it. Stay on track, go into tunnel vision and keep going until they have no choice but to acknowledge your accomplishments. What you do shouldn’t be about making other people like it, it should be about making YOU like it. The others will follow if what you’re doing is worth appreciating.

Some of your closest friends or family can be your biggest influencers, but that doesn’t mean it’s always in a good way. Some people lift you up, and some bring you down. Find people that feed you with positivity and keep away from the toxic ones that hold you back and keep you in that negative space of being a victim. If they aren’t encouraging you to be better, then they are helping you be worse. Love them, but leave them. Negativity is stress, and stress will destroy you.
