Nine lessons from "What Are You Doing With Your Life" by J. Krishnamurti.

1. Reflect on your purpose: Take time to deeply contemplate and understand your true purpose in life. Explore your passions, values, and aspirations to align your actions with your inner calling.

2. Embrace personal responsibility: Recognize that you have the power to shape your own life. Take ownership of your choices, actions, and their consequences to create the life you desire.

3. Seek self-discovery and inner growth: Engage in self-reflection and introspection to gain deeper insights into your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. Embrace personal growth as a lifelong journey.

4. Challenge societal expectations: Question societal norms and expectations that may hinder your individuality and authentic expression. Be true to yourself, even if it means going against the grain.

5. Embrace the unknown: Embrace uncertainty and the unknown as opportunities for growth and transformation. Embrace change and let go of the need for constant control and certainty.

6. Live in the present moment: Cultivate mindfulness and be fully present in each moment. Release regrets about the past and worries about the future, and instead, focus on the present experience.

7. Cultivate mindfulness and self-awareness: Develop a deep understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and actions. Be aware of your reactions, biases, and conditioning to live a more conscious and authentic life.

8. Question your beliefs and conditioning: Challenge the beliefs and conditioning that have been imposed upon you. Explore alternative perspectives and seek truth beyond societal, cultural, and personal conditioning.

9. Find meaning beyond material possessions: Look beyond material wealth and possessions for true fulfillment. Seek meaning in relationships, experiences, personal growth, and contributing to the well-being of others.

DANGERS OF PROCRASTINATION

1. THE LOSS OF TIME
You won't be here forever. It is called lifetime because your life is timed. When procrastination becomes a habit, you lose time and when you lose too much time you waste life.

2. THE WASTAGE OF OPPORTUNITY
Opportunities come to all; no one is too poor to afford them. One opportunity can make all the difference but not to a procrastinator; a thousand opportunities mean nothing. They are wasted by habitual procrastination.

3. UNFULFILLED VISION
Visions are exciting, but procrastination is the graveyard of beautiful visions. If you keep postponing what you need to do to see the realisation of your visions, you end up burying those beautiful visions.

4. DEPRESSION
There is a joy that comes with setting a goal and fulfilling it. Excitement accompanies achievement. When you get used to procrastination, you fail to meet your goals and that can affect your joy.

Habitual procrastination gradually brings depression, with the thoughts that you will never be good enough. Every time you wage war against procrastination, you protect your joy.

5. ETERNAL REGRETS
A major regret in eternity, would be about words unsaid, decisions unmade and actions untaken, all scheduled for a tomorrow that never came.

✨If you lack discipline, read this POST.
1. Define a clear goal.
Without a clear goal it is hard to define exactly what you want. Your mind doesn’t need an invitation to procrastinate. Begin to visualise what it is you really want. Writing down your goal will help to bring it into reality.
2. Establish a clear plan.
You may know what it is you want but if you don’t know how to achieve it, the chances are, you will fail. Outline a plan that breaks down each individual step you will need to attain your goal. Small steps lead to big changes.
3. Strengthen your self confidence.
One thing the successful in society all have in common is self confidence. You need to develop the mindset that you are good enough to achieve what you set out to, otherwise why even try ? You can do this.
4. Build habits.
Habits make life 10x easier. The more you have to think about what you’re doing the greater chance that your mind will start to wonder. Systems and habits remove the guessing and give you a clear step by step process to follow.
5. Evaluate your time.
You often hear people say “I don’t have time” when in reality they go to work then spend the rest of their night mindlessly scrolling. Plan out your day, there is enough time to enjoy yourself while also getting the important tasks done.
6. Start small.
Often when you lack discipline, it is down to thinking that you have to do it all at once. Learn to break down tasks into manageable pieces. You’ll find that you get more done and be pleasantly surprised at how much more enjoyable it is.
7. Look after yourself
Strong mental and physical health will aid in your battle to destroy a lack of self discipline. Develop a positive self talk process as well as making sure you eat well and exercise on a regular basis. Movement will help clear your mind.

10 lessons from the book *Side Hustle* by Chris Guillebeau:

1. **Start small.** Don't try to do too much too soon. Start with a small side hustle that you can manage in your spare time.

2. **Find something you're passionate about.** If you're not passionate about your side hustle, it will be much harder to stick with it.

3. **Do your research.** Before you launch your side hustle, make sure there's a market for what you're offering.

4. **Set realistic goals.** Don't expect to make a million dollars overnight. Start with small, achievable goals and build from there.

5. **Be patient.** It takes time to build a successful side hustle. Don't get discouraged if you don't see results immediately.

6. **Be persistent.** Don't give up on your side hustle, even when things get tough. Keep working hard and eventually you will succeed.

7. **Network with others.** There are a lot of people out there who can help you with your side hustle. Get involved in online communities and meet other entrepreneurs in your area.

8. **Don't be afraid to fail.** Everyone fails at some point. Don't let failure discourage you. Learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward.

9. **Have fun!** Starting a side hustle should be enjoyable. If you're not having fun, you're less likely to stick with it.

10. **Don't give up your day job.** At least not at first. A side hustle can be a great way to make extra money, but it's important to have a steady income from your day job.

These are just a few of the lessons that Chris Guillebeau shares in *Side Hustle*. If you're looking to start a side hustle, I highly recommend reading this book. It's full of practical advice and inspiring stories that will help you get started.

Here are some additional lessons that I took away from the book:

* The best side hustles are the ones that are aligned with your passions and interests.
* You don't need a lot of money or time to start a side hustle.

2. SINCERE INVESTMENT: Humble leaders know the vision is bigger and will last longer than they will.knowing this, humble leaders willingly invest in others, raising up and maturing new leaders.

3. GENTLE, BUT STRONG: One can’t be a leader and be weak. The two — weakness and leadership —don’t go together. Every position of leadership will provide a challenge to the leader, but humble leaders have learned the balance between being gentle and remaining strong.

6. QUICKLY DIVERTS ATTENTION: We all like to be recognized for accomplishments, but a humble leader is quick to divert attention to others, They celebrate the success of others louder than personal success.

7. REMAINS THANKFUL: He is appreciative of the input of others into his or her leadership. So much so, that a humble leader naturally praises the actions of others far more than the time spent patting themselves on the back for personal accomplishments.

8. RECOGNIZES LIMITATIONS: No one can do everything. A humble has the ability to say, “I can’t do that or I’m not the one who should.

9. SHARES AUTHORITY: He don’t take all the key assignments for themselves, but givesout prime responsibility and authority to people he or she is leading.
