practice in your day-to-day life. Whether you’re reading these lists

hard to imagine life without them.

Because there are some things hammered into your head that are
actually inhibiting joy and preventing us from living our best lives
possible.
So here’s a list of 10 life lessons you should toss to the wind
4. “NO PROBLEMS? NO PROBLEM!”
Problems seemingly, are the worst.
They’re roadblocks, a wrench thrown
into the wheel of a well-oiled
machine. But in reality, the problems
presented to you in the real world
give you the chance to find the
solution, which is what really gives
life gusto. They often mark change
and, when dealt with in the best
way, can often become rewarding.
Is your job just not doing it for you?
Maybe it’s time to ask for a
promotion! People without real
problems are bored and go stir
crazy.
5. As a child, as you were learning about
the world around you, how to speak,
to use your body and fingers and all
the like, were you working hard, or
learning through play?
Play, not work, is key to success.
Childhood playing skills are key to
learning and understanding complex
ideas, because they are doing it with
all-out absorption
“HARD WORK =
SUCCESS”
6. “LIFE WOULD BE PERFECT IF I HAD
EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED!”
Good fortune tends to have bad
side effects. Don’t believe it?
Check out jails, rehabs, and
divorce courts. They don’t
discriminate based on income.
Anything that makes us feel good
can also make us feel bad, but
once you let go of the desire for
tangible rewards, you appreciate
exactly what you need, not want,
more. The point is experiencing
joy, not experiencing the joy
from buying something.
7. “THINK RATIONALLY!”
This has more to do with
recognizing your inner-self; taking
emotional and physical cues from
yourself when making decisions.
Your rational capacities are far
newer and more error-prone
than your deeper, “animal
instincts.”
While rational thinking can help
you see things with a more level
head, it’s important to
understand where your natural
instincts point you, and takes less
time than making a pros and cons
list.
