🌳 The Goldilocks Rule: How To Stay Motivated
The human brain loves a challenge, but only if it is within an optimal zone of difficulty. If you love tennis and try to play a serious match against a four-year-old, you will quickly become bored. It’s too easy. You’ll win every point. In contrast, if you play a professional tennis player like Roger Federer or Serena Williams, you will quickly lose motivation because the match is too difficult.
🌳 How Leverage Can Make You A Millionaire
Leverage is the idea of using something that already exists to your advantage, to further your own cause. A common case of leverage in play with business is with a marketing agency. Someone may have the skills of social media marketing but no product or service to sell in order to utilise their skills which means they have two options. Either they build their own product or service or they find an already existing one and use their skills to market that.
🌳 The Ultimate Productivity Hack Is Saying "___"
Thats really it, “No” because not doing something will always be faster than doing it. The same philosophy applies in other areas of life. For example, there is no meeting that goes faster than not having a meeting at all.

It's psychologically more difficult to break a habit that you have had for most of your life than to develop a new one.
🌳 How To Have Full Control Over Your Emotions
Feelings are something that happens naturally, we get tired, we get angry, we get excited and these are all comprised of external factors. If we didn't have feelings we wouldn't be able to express, love, and feel which are some of the core fundamentals of a human's life.
🌳 Kissing The Frog Will Change Your Life
'Kiss the frog' is a term used to illustrate a few different life lessons, the first one being to get rid of or do the difficult thing/the thing you don't want to do first as well as to describe the fact that sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs before you get your prince, sometimes you have to fail a few times before you succeed.
🌳 The Tradeoff Law
If you want to grow to your potential, you must be willing to give up some things that you value. You must change. Growing into your potential and filling it out will require becoming someone else — or at least awakening aspects of your personality and character that have until now lay dormant. If you’re willing to do that, then there’s hope for you.
