Excellent and very spot on truths here @moneyinfant!
Here were my favorites:
Hard work and joyfulness can coexist.
I've been discovering this the more and more I commit to what I TRULY want to do. That typically revolves around my art and creating from my soul. It's a lot of work to choose this path, but it's also the most fulfilling!
The journey is always more fulfilling than the destination.
I was brought up into a culture that focused on the destination. All of my decisions were based upon this destination. But then I stopped and asked myself... "what if I don't make it to that destination? Or what if something changes and that destination no longer exists? Then what!?" The answer to my questions was... find joy in what you're doing now and you will ensure that your destination will surely be filled with joy. How could it not!?
Today’s habits form tomorrow’s person.
I fully embody this approach every day. Habits an absolute necessity. We are habitual beings with powerful, ritualistic subconscious minds. In order to take conscious control, we need to feed the subconscious with habitual patterns that are empowering and life-affirming!
I actually wrote about this exact thing today!
Really great post here @moneyinfant. Thank you for sharing!
You might find my post today interesting as it delves into some of the things you have mentioned here.
I'd love to hear your thoughts! 10 Highly Influential Things I Do Every Single Day
If you're focused on your art and creative process it seems like point #1 would resonate with you as well...
You can spend your life “doing what you love”, but to succeed you’ll need to work 10 times harder than everyone else.
I began with that belief but was coerced into a "traditional" life by family during my university years. It took me another 25 years to burst that illusion and move back to doing what I love.
I'm heading over to check out your post now (well, after I feed the kiddos). Can't wait to see what you've written.
You are right! #1 also vibed. I think that its such a thing that Ive accepted that I dont think about it as much. Besides, doing what you love doesnt feel much like work anyways ;-)
