4. You Must Take a Chance <br /><br />It’s easy to shy away from something that is high risk and high reward out of fear of being labeled a loser. <br /><br />Have you ever noticed that doing so actually makes you feel worse than if you’d just taken the risk in the first place? We know that rejection feels bad and failure can weigh heavily, but regret is a far stronger emotion over time. <br /><br />Don’t hesitate if you have the chance. Go for it and tell yourself that if you fail, it’s no big deal. At least you tried. <br /><br />Perhaps the perfect example of this approach is David Goggins. We all have a lot to learn from the inspirational David Goggins story and his priceless sayings.[1] <br /><br />Goggins, considered by many to be ‘the toughest man alive’, is a retired Navy SEAL and the only person ever to complete SEAL training, the U.S. Army Ranger School, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller training. He’s also one of the world’s top endurance athletes and held the Guinness World Record for pull-ups, completing 4,030 in 17 hours. <br /><br />He sounds like a ‘naturally gifted badass person’ right? But in his book, he reveals that he was actually ‘The weakest man in the world’, in his own words. <br /><br />Overcoming obesity, poverty, racism, learning disabilities, abusive violent father, he came through the other side, inspiring people to embrace suffering and struggle, to find their greatness and inner peace. He took the slim chances he had and changed his life completely. <br /><br />5. Accept That Things End <br /><br />Even the best things in life end eventually, so don’t worry about them. Don’t fret about how the good times are about to stop, just enjoy them while they last. And when they do finally end, be happy in the knowledge that something else just as good will come along. <br /><br /><br /><br />This ties in with point number 2 above – you won’t like it if others judge you so don’t judge them. We know it can be difficult to refrain from labeling other people, but doing so is a sure-fire way to start descending into a negative thought spiral. <br /><br />We all live in a world where passing judgment is tolerated, but not only is accepting people a great way to make others feel better, it’s also a fantastic way to foster positive thoughts within ourselves. <br /><br />7. Don’t do Things for Others That Make You Unhappy <br /><br />We all want to make other people happy, right? But what if the things that other people want us to do makes us unhappy? <br /><br />If you’re doing something just for the satisfaction of others, don’t. Stop it right now. Your happiness and your time should never be sacrificed for the satisfaction of someone else. You won’t be able to think of positive thoughts every day if you are unhappy in the first place.<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuO7V3Ujj1g" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuO7V3Ujj1g</a>
