We must take control of our time.
“Time is our most valuable asset, yet we tend to waste it, kill it and spend it rather than invest it.”
Jim Rohn
In this video, Leo of Actualized.org shares the key mindset shifts that will allow you to tune out the noise, avoid common traps and distractions, and unlock a deeper sense of meaning and fulfillment in life.
Tips to Live a More Purposeful and Meaningful Life
- Tune out petty gossip and social status games. Who’s more famous, richer, slept with who, etc. This stuff isn’t important or satisfying.
- Don’t overload your schedule with obligations. Leave time for solitude, introspection, reading, creativity. The deepest life insights come from within.
- Make time for meditation retreats. Spend a week in quiet contemplation. Discover yourself.
- Don’t waste energy hating, blaming, or trying to control others. Stay positive and focus on your own growth.
- Create something positive for the world. Don’t just criticize. When you’re being creative, you have no room for negativity.
- Become self-reliant. Don’t try to manipulate others. Go directly to the source within yourself.
- Keep your eye on your own purpose and vision. Don’t get distracted by what others are doing.
Our Takeaway
As creators, we must fully focus on what we want to create in this life. To do that:
- Don’t let what you can’t control distract you.
- Don’t waste your energy on the petty things most people go on and on about.
- Create something positive for the world.
Freeing yourself from petty affairs and tuning out the noise creates space to live a deeper, more creative, and fulfilling life.
Life is so much bigger than gossip and status.
By avoiding those traps, you open yourself up to profound personal growth.
With self-reflection and purpose, you gain resilience against criticism, drama, and the urge to control others.
