"No Excuses" by Brian Tracy
When God wants to send you a gift, he wraps it up in a problem. The bigger the gift that God wants to send you, the bigger the problem he wraps it up in.
this book is all about taking charge of your life. it talks about how important it is to stop making excuses for why you can't achieve your goals. Instead, start take responsibility for your actions and decisions.
One big idea in the book is that you have the power to change your life if you're willing to put in the work. Tracy believes that with the right mindset and determination, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
Every day, and every minute of every day, there is a battle going on inside of you between doing what is right, hard, and necessary (like the angel on one shoulder) or doing what is fun, easy, and of little or no value (like the devil on your other shoulder). Every minute of every day, you must fight and win this battle with the Expediency Factor and resist the pull of the Path of Least Resistance if you truly desire to become everything you are capable of becoming.
"Mindset" by Carol S. Dweck
The view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life. It can determine whether you become the person you want to be and whether you accomplish the things you value.
Dweck introduces the concept of two mindsets: the fixed mindset and the growth mindset.
In the fixed mindset, people believe that their abilities and intelligence are fixed traits that cannot be changed. They avoid challenges, fear failure, and see effort as fruitless. On the other hand, those with a growth mindset believe that their abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. They embrace challenges, learn from criticism, and persist in the face of setbacks.
Many growth-minded people didn’t even plan to go to the top. They got there as a result of doing what they love. It’s ironic: The top is where the fixed-mindset people hunger to be, but it’s where many growth-minded people arrive as a by-product of their enthusiasm for what they do.
If you don’t give anything, don’t expect anything. Success is not coming to you, you must come to it.
"The four agreements" Miguel Ruiz
God is life. God is life in action. The best way to say, "I love you, God," is to live your life doing your best. The best way to say, "Thank you, God," is by letting go of the past and living in the present moment, right here and now. Whatever life takes away from you, let it go. When you surrender and let go of the past, you allow yourself to be fully alive in the moment. Letting go of the past means you can enjoy the dream that is happening right now.
There is no time to miss anyone or anything because you are alive. Not enjoying what is happening right now is living in the past and being only half alive. This leads to self pity, suffering and tears.
This book talks about four powerful agreements that have the potential to change the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us.
1. Be impeccable with your word: Sprak with integrity, say only what you mean, avoid using words to speak aginst yourself or gossip about others.
2. Don’t take anything personally: Nothing others do is because of you. what others say and do is a result of their own dream and perception of their rules.
3. Don’t make assumptions: Find the quiet courage to ask questions and to express what you really want .
4. Always do your best: Under any circumstances, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.
"Single On purpose" by John Kim
Everything ends and begins with what you believe about yourself. What you believe will determine where you will go and who you will become.
This book discusses how to own your shit, break patterns, and find a sense of self.
Being single is not a void to be filled, but a space to be celebrated. It's an opportunity to rediscover yourself, explore your interests, and grow as an individual.
when a person has a clear understanding and totally believes that singlehood is a gift from God and finds the purpose. The struggles and difficulties will disappear and be replaced by peace and happiness. This is because he absolutely understands that singlehood is not a mistake and there is no need to search for any escape from it. And he will also realize that this is something worth practicing and preaching to others. These kinds of people are examples of singles who understand singlehood and its purpose.
We need to have a healthy relationship with ourselves, but who teaches us how to do that? There’s no general education requirement in school that covers boundaries, independence, and knowledge of self.
Remember that you are not defective. You are a product of where you grew up, who raised you, and what has happened to you. And realize that you can return that shit and think new thoughts and choose new ways of thinking.
"How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big" by Scott Adams
Failure is where success likes to hide—in plain sight. Everything you want out of life is in that huge, bubbling vat of failure. The trick is to get the good stuff out.
One of Adams' key concepts is the idea of creating systems instead of setting goals. What's a system? It's like a routine or habit that you do consistently. By focusing on building good systems, you can increase your chances of success over time.
But success isn't just about what you do—it's also about who you become. That's where skill stacking comes in. Adams believes that every skill you learn doubles your chances of success. So, instead of just focusing on one thing, why not learn different skills and combine them to become a superstar?
Of course, success also requires energy. That's why it's important to manage your energy. Make sure you're getting enough sleep, eating healthy, and exercising regularly. Your energy levels can make a big difference in your success.
