Simplify Your Life With These 6 Timeless Principles

1. Practice consistency over intensity

1.1. Action gets you started, and intensity has its place, but consistency is the holy grail.

1.2. If you want to see growth in any area of life, you have to tend to them on a regular basis.

2. Keep all of your fires burning

2.1. Assess each critical area of your life.

2.2. If you're ignoring any one of those areas, throw a little spark on the fire, just to keep it smouldering until you can make more time.

3. Neutralize negativity

3.1. Use negativity as fuel for growth.

3.2. If someone is being argumentative, practice non-reactivity.

3.3. If someone is being unreasonable, use it as a chance to practice tolerance.

3.4. If someone is acting out in unawareness, use it as an opportunity to practice compassion.

3.5. If you neutralize negativity from your life on a regular basis, you’ll see massive gains in your wellbeing and energy.

4. Prioritize and execute

4.1. When you feel overwhelmed, simply take a step back and assess the situation.

4.2. Choose the task that will have the biggest impact and execute it.

4.3. When you complete the primary task, move on to the next one, and then the one after that.

4.4. When you implement this principle, you'll immediately have clarity, and you'll no longer be overwhelmed.

5. Take relentless action

5.1. Don't expect change without taking action.

5.2. Take action every single day.

5.3. Meditate, write, practice gratitude every day. Work on your number one goal every day. Show up every single day.

6. Seek constructive feedback

6.1. Ruthlessly seek out feedback to help you see what you could be missing — for work and for life.

6.2. Ask feedback from your colleagues about your work: “What would you do differently?” or “What am I doing wrong?”

6.3. For life, ask someone you trust: “How do you see me limiting myself in life?” or “What part of the puzzle might I be missing?”

6.4. Not everyone is comfortable giving this kind of feedback, but when you find someone who is, the benefits are immense.
