“From looking at the time logs of extremely successful people, I’ve learned that they focus on three categories: nurturing their career, nurturing their family and nurturing themselves.”

In the afternoon and evenings, we get sleepy at two times: at 4:30 pm and at 11:30 pm. But in the morning, we get sleepy every 90 minutes. These 90-minute cycles are our ultradian rhythms which define when we’re naturally feeling awake and productive. We perform our best in between those periods of drowsiness.

“

People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

A soul mate’s purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life…”

3 Short Life Learnings

Three learnings I thought I would share from reading this article. It’s about a highly “successful” person - doctor, ferrari, famous - who gets diagnosed with cancer. 
 

1. “Endure hardship as discipline as God is treating you as His children.” Hebrews 12:7-8

As a masochist, I like this a lot. Pain is present for a reason you might not yet know. 


2. Trust in the Lord your God with all your heart. 

I’m not Christian, so let me rephrase this. I think it’s about having faith in the uncertainty of the future and learning how to embrace change. 
 

3. Love and serve others, not just ourselves.

This means spending time with people who matter, not bearing grudges and letting go. Also, it means putting a smile on another person’s face. 


Have a good weekend =)
