We’re all so busy living our lives that it can sometimes be hard to take the time to stop and think about what we’re doing and why we’re doing it. I mean, our lives are just full of stuff to do, right? What am I talking about?

Quote 1: The Mirror Test

I have found that among its other uses, philosophy is particularly effective in dealing with personal problems, said Bertrand Russell. When I have a philosophical problem, I write it down. Then I take a week not to think about it. At the end of that week, I look at what I have written and almost always find that a solution has occurred to me. Russell’s famous mirror test is a great tool for helping you clear your head when you’re feeling overwhelmed by life’s problems. Here’s how it works: When you’re feeling stressed or anxious, try stepping away from whatever issue is bringing on these feelings and write down what your problem is. Set aside an hour or so (or even several) to not focus on your issue and let everything sink in.

Quote 2: If This Is Happening, It Is Happening Now

It is often assumed that if things are bad in your life, it must be because you did something wrong. Life will get better only if you make changes. If your life isn’t working, you need to focus on making yourself a better person. If we accept that things aren’t happening to us because of who we are or what we’ve done, then we can do something about it. ~Robert Fritz

Quote 3: Don’t Waste Time Feeling Sorry For Yourself

When something bad happens, there’s a tendency to do what is known as ‘wallowing’. People who wallow get stuck in that rut and end up feeling sorry for themselves. What you should be doing instead of wallowing is analyzing why it happened and making sure it doesn’t happen again. It may not help right away, but with time your life will become easier if you can recognize when problems are occurring and fix them immediately. The longer you delay fixing them, the harder they are to deal with.

Quote 4: Change What Needs to Be Changed

Zegbeg! One of my personal favorite quotes from my college days, Zegbeg is a firm warning to us all that change is constant. In your life, when something needs to be changed, remember to zegbeg. This serves as great reminder for changes you need to make in your professional or personal life. If there’s a problem in your business, don’t just accept it and hope it goes away; get rid of it. If there’s an issue with one of your team members, address it head on and work towards finding a solution. Change isn’t always easy but sometimes you have to force yourself into action if things aren’t working out for you. Remember: Zegbeg!

Quote 5: All the Things Are Possible

There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level – Bruce Lee. This quote is all about expanding your mind and breaking out of your comfort zone so that in order to grow as a person, achieve success in life and succeed more than ever before. Many people get stuck at a certain point in their lives or maybe even in their careers and they don’t know how to move forward because they have hit a plateau. However, once you realize that every plateau can be overcome with enough effort then everything becomes possible. The world has no limits; if anything gets in your way then just push through it! Once you break through one barrier another will appear but just keep pushing through each one until you reach your goal!
