1. Do what you love

Success comes from fun and effective hard work.
Do what you love, and instantly you’ll have both – everything else will then follow naturally!

2. Failure = Feedback = Progress

No matter what the outcome, it always helps you improve if you ask “What did I learn from this?”.
And of course remember to ask the same question even when you are successful!

3. You can accomplish anything

There is nothing you cannot do – only things you have not learned yet!
Remember to break down large challenges into small easy todos.
If things are not working, try something else, if that does not work, try something else…

4. Communication is all about feelings

Communication is not about the message, but the response and feelings that message creates in the other person. Before speaking, always ask: How/What do I want the other person to feel?

5. Everything happens for a reason

Pronoia! Everyone is trying to help you, and they are doing it secretly so you won’t notice it.
This may sound strange to you at first – I promise you it will change your attitude dramatically to the better!

6. Problems = Challenges = Opportunities

Always ask: How does this help me? Problems are challenges and challenges are opportunities to learn, improve, contribute and help others.

7. It is all about today and the future

The past does not equal the future.
