SOME THINGS TO REFLECT ON
In this interview, a lot of jewels of self-improvement are discussed. Some of these and their associated thoughts include:
- Your starting point does not define you. It is never to late to go back to school and take up a course to begin again, learn a new skill and get the career and life that you wish. We are living in a great age where we all have the possibility to go against the status quo and chase our dreams.
- The scripts of our fathers and grandfathers are no longer suitable for today’s society, we need to change how men act and deal with the modern culture we inhabit
- You need to want to change, you need to make that first decision to want to change. You don’t need anyone’s permission to change, except for yourself. Yo are the only one who is stopping yourself from changing.
- You are the average of the five people you hang around with
- Anger will destroy you if you let it remain within, unchallenged and not dealt with. You need to address it and resolve it before it explodes out of you in various ways
- Find out what works for you. There are a number of possible solutions you can try, not all will work for you, but the best thing is there is something that will help you. Don’t be sadden if one thing doesn’t work, keep looking until you find something else that does.
- 30 days can be the time between you and everlasting change.
