A decade ago, I was content in living day by day, and not worry really too much about the outcome of my thoughts, my decisions and my actions. Now I am totally convinced, that I have to stop living a mediocre life. It’s time to live. It’s time to have an amazing life. It’s time to create that amazing life by choice and by the actions that I do.
“Why am I sitting out here? Because my life is amazing… so amazing I can wear animal print yoga pants. Yes. THAT amazing. Don’t be jealous, be awesome-er-er.”
If you want to be amazing, live amazing and set the world on fire with amazing stuff, I’ve got the five ways that can get you on the right path.
Number One: Get Some Goals In Life
These don’t have to be grand, save the world type goals, but these have to be goals that you can see happening in six months, a year or five years down the road. These are where you want to be in your job, where you want to be in your relationship, and where you want to be in money you saved up. These are achievable, specific, time bound things that you can work towards a little bit at a time, every single day.
Number Two: Get The Tools To Work
After you’ve got those goals, you might not have a clear understanding of how to get to them. This is where you figure out goal setting- and achieving methods, brainstorming methods, and learning habits and other life optimizing tips, that help you get from stage one to stage two in your overall progress.
Number Three: Learn To Use The Tools
Collecting tools and continually reading new things until you are completely full, is not the way to go. Once you pick up these tools, you need to learn to use them. I’d even say it’s better to pick up one at a time. Give it a good couple of weeks or months, it’s probably a better idea, and see how it impacts your life.
If it impacts it positively and greatly, keep it, and add it to your tool box. If it doesn’t really work that well, drop it or put it in the back of your toolbox, for reference later. Don’t just collect to collect. You have to use, too.
Number Four: Practice, Practice, Practice
You won’t know if the tool is useful to you, unless you continue to use it. Take opportunities to use whatever you learn at work, during presentations, at home for hobbies and chores, and when you are out and about, talking with random people. These are your free opportunities to experiment with the things that you’ve learned and found, with very little risk and tons of reward.
Number Five: Optimize, And Do It Again
So you’ve found out that you are pretty good at speed reading and it does help you read certain books much faster; which ultimately builds, builds your intelligence skill set. Awesome! Now, you can figure out what types of books it works for, and what other methods would help you increase the overall process.
For instance, how to take better notes when speed reading, how to review the notes and books that you have sped read. Once you have gotten to the point where you have tried something enough to figure out how to optimize it and do it better, you know you are getting somewhere positive.
An Amazing Life Awaits You
You can create your own amazing life by using these five ways to start living life better. Get goals in life, get the tools to work towards those goals. Learn how to use those tools. Practice those tools, and repeat and optimize until you are super human. You can do this, you’Â?Â?ve got this, and it’s time to be amazing already.
