To Change Your Life, Do This

To Change Your Life, Do This

To change you life, change your assumptions.

This seem too simple to be much help, but do not discount this idea.

  • Maybe you assume that something simply cannot be done. But you need to persist.
  • Maybe you assume that being average in effort will give you an extraordinary outcome. You need extraordinary effort too.
  • Maybe you think you have to go to college. In truth, you need to go be an assistant to a prominent CEO or entrepreneur.
  • Perhaps, you think money will make you happy. What you need is meaningful relationships.

Want a few tips that can start a change?

Here are 4 quick changes that might shift your perspective:

  1. Pursue wealth (freedom), not status.
  2. Use systems, not goals.
  3. Read more.
  4. Quit arguing, persuasion works differently.

And – good-grief – all this is practical advice.

What about philosophical? What if your very foundations of existence are wrong?

I mean, what if you think nothing matters? And it all matters – forever?

It was my thinking, I decided. Jones had challenged the very foundations of my thought processes. He questioned my perceptions, my assumptions, and even—or maybe I should say especially—my conclusions. Yes, I nodded to myself. That is exactly how he had managed to change my life so many years ago.
