KEY TAKEAWAYS
- If you’ve listened to episode 2 where I spoke about my best friend Chris, who’s sadly passed away from cancer, I apologise. I asked his for 3 lessons from when he was reflecting back on his life that he would deem as the most important lessons:
- Always be yourself.
- Make good friends.
- Time is limited so act now
- Since I published this episode I’ve reflected on these three lessons and I believe that they have a deeper meaning than what I originally shared with you. So that’s what I’d like to apologise for.
- Always be yourself – Recognise that voice in your head when it talks you out of doing positive things. Respond after you recognise and be present in your emotions because if you react you’re not being yourself in that period of time.
- Make good friends – Create an environment of high trust so people feel confident to be open and honest with you. It’s about communicating successfully.
- Time is limited so act now – It’s all well and good saying you’re going to do something but it’s about really recognising what you want to do and creating habits. You don’t know when anything is going to happen so create those habits as soon as possible. Talk to yourself in a positive way.
- If you’ve not done what you needed to do yet I encourage you to take that first step.
