Don't fool yourself

Plans change...

When something changes your plans, shift your productivity goals. Things happen. You can either cry about it, or make the most of it.

You wanted it...

Be careful what you wish for when you don't understand the price you'll have to pay. But this isn't meant to dissuade you from anything. Quite the opposite in fact. I'm saying to take responsibility and accept the life you're willing to earn.

Interpretation matters

It's your choice to see the negative constantly and keep spiraling, or to see the opportunity to learn and move on. One leads to stagnation, the other to growth.

Honesty less profitable?

Forgot to mention, I'll take less profit over being a liar every time. But that doesn't mean everyone does. Learn to look past that part and see if the product will actually enhance your life or create bigger problems. Make decisions from a position of confidence and not a position of scarcity.

Morals built different?

In my opinion, he got this wrong. I didn't build my morals based on people I dislike. That was never a thought to me. My morals guided me away from those that acted outside my morals and values. Now I can get along with people for certain things that don't have those same morals. But there's limits and full breaks or no-go points for me as well. What are your thoughts?
