7. Make room for surprises.
Stop controlling every last aspect of your life; let go of how things are “supposed to be.?? Maybe you didn’t get your perfect ending, but you will get something so much better.
Some of the best stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about making the best of each moment because we really don’t know what will happen next. Say yes to things that you would normally never say yes to – that road trip, party, date. You’d be surprised at how much people can surprise you.
8. Don’t get caught up with being “perfect.??
In the words of Michael Jordan, “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.??
Jordan was really onto something; when we are afraid to lose or fail, we pull back from life. That’s why successful people are successful; there’s no big secret – they just keep going. If we stop being afraid to fail, and we do we keep we’ll be unconquerable.
9. Make room for amazing people.
If you communicate your needs and set boundaries with someone and they don’t respect them; it’s time to move on from that person and move forward.
It is not enough to know that deep down, someone cares. They can’t just say the words – they need to execute them, with actions, consistency, commitment. Being hot and cold doesn’t mean they’re mysterious or enigmatic – it means they almost care enough, but they’re not ready for it.
There are too many amazing people that will treat you right and understand your value for you to waste your time with someone who almost does – make room for those amazing people.
