Hello, amazing people, welcome to another article, and today I am turning 21 yes it’s my birthday and I never shared something like this before but today I am sharing this because I realized and learned various things about life in the last two years related to friendship, career, and family the different aspects of life and here we go with first, something you already know something may not so read it to the last one.

  1. Enjoy Your won Company

I learned this very hard way but you can not make everyone happy. We are living in the digital era where everyone has their own priorities, work, and things to do in their life but it’s not mean to stay alone but learn to stay alone because no one literally no one is permanent with you for your whole life, work with other people helps them make friends but enjoy your own company.

2. Number never lies

Whenever you start something or plan something gets all things into the number because the calculation you have about your goal continuously hits you about the particular numbers and it may be anything days, time, and your working hours anything because the number never lies.

3. Circle Matters

You really don’t need millionaires in your circle to become the next millionaire but you need the people who think about creative ideas, work, discipline and ethics the mindset is everything here. The circle really matters which type of people you’re surrounding.

4. Do it now

The habit of doing it now builds discipline in you, it helps you to take quick actions towards your goal. The thing which you start today and start tomorrow are two different things, so whatever is in your mind do it now.

5. Belive in talking action

This generation thinks more about the situation and does not believe in taking action and we really don’t need to think about the final result we have to play the actual game and give our best shot.

6. Invest in your health

Good health actually solves more than half of your problems if you invest in your health. Good health does not mean having six abs but a regular workout actually helps physically and mentally.

7. Invest in your Skill

The only thing you need to learn and build is one skill master a particular skill in any field and you are in demand. No matter what is your skill it may be programming, video editing, content writing anything it may be but need to practice more and learn regularly the simplest way to master any skill.

8. Planning is a must

We need to do planning for everything it may be a holiday trip, project, or anything else but without planning, things do not work or after a particular level, we stop because we have no plan so planning is a must for anything.

9. Take charge of your time

Time is limited and we are here to live our life, not others so if you give some time to other people take charge of it because the biggest thing you are giving to them is your time and it is definitely not for free.

10. Enjoy the process

We all are living in fast life where no one stops or takes a pause we keep running and engaging with our work and definitely, it’s not a good thing but if you enjoy the process then it will be a great journey for you.

11. Follow but don’t copy

We are living in the social media era in which everyone follows someone but sometimes we start copying people. The actual goal to follow someone is to learn from their content, consume good quality content and get value from what they shared but copying them is not the actual goal.

12. Read Read Read

I read somewhere the more you read the more you learn. Reading helps you to improve your focus and discipline. Reading gives you inner joy and knowledge. Reading one book saves your five years with lifetime experiences shared by people and advice, on why we all need to read more.

13. Write down your thoughts

Writing your thoughts gives you more clarity about your goals and planning. Writing actually helps you to understand what you want from the particular process. Write your daily schedule, carry diaries to note anything which is important to you start writing, and right now you can learn anything with a stable internet connection.

14. Build Discipline

Discipline leads you where motivation can’t, Motivation fades after time, but discipline grows after time. The discipline is built by daily habits and you really don’t need to set goals you need to target your habits. Discipline is a process that takes time and checks your dedication and perseverance. Improve habits and discipline automatically work for you.

15. Stay away from toxic people

It's the most important thing which contributes more value to your daily life because the people who always told you about your weaknesses and realize you, you can’t do it then stay away and also stay away from those people who take your mental piece because they actually belong toxic group.

16. Collect skills not Degree

The only thing you need to focus on is the skill and remember degree is important but it does not prove the abilities you have and your strength but the skills you have that actually define your strength so, focus on your skills more than your degree.

17. Collect friends not followers

Maybe you have hundreds of friends but the only few who care about you and are willing to always help you but not everyone so makes multiple friends work with them and help them. Collect friends, not followers.

18. Collect knowledge not Marks

I think we all know the meaning of this statement, marks not define your knowledge but knowledge gets excellent marks. Knowledge leads you to the highest point of your life, having clarity about the concepts you know is called knowledge.

19. Failure is an important

The more rejections you have, the more experience you carried in your pocket, failure is the first step to success so don’t feel bad for rejections because no one knows what the future brings for you at the next step.

20. Simple but not easy

The above-listed lessons which I learned is looks simple but definitely not easy. Implementation is the most important part of your process and implementing your learnings is the initial step toward your destination. Start implementing what you learn is simple but not easy.

21. Always be happy

Believe me, it's not easy but if you can stay happy with yourself then no one stops you, after all, we are humans and we are here to make this world a more peaceful and happy place. Everyone has their own problems so thinking about the problem is not the solution to taking action trying out to find solutions. Be happy always with the people & with yourself and remember being happy is the best solution for all problems.

These are the learnings I learned and shared with you all, some work for you some maybe not but the best piece of advice which I got is
