🧠Becoming Successful

Pray - Praying will teach you to become positive and grateful - Everything is a beautiful journey. Stop overthinking! - Appreciate the small things and stop complaining. More blessings will come. - "Eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism"
Regret Minimization Framework - This came from Jeff Bezos. - Ask yourself: "At the end of my life, will I regret not having done this?" - Go out of your comfort zone (relax, peace, and pleasure) to get new opportunities, growth, and success.
Be healthy and presentable - Your energy will determine what you can do today. - People will gravitate towards you if you look presentable. - Work out and eat healthy daily.
MVP Mindset - You have to wake up driven - Always be the best version of yourself. - Don't come to a point where you'll say "I wish I have done more" - Avoid victim mentality. In the US, if the income is not enough, they find another job. However, in the Philippines, people rally.
