Key Points

1. When You Question Things Life Gets Interesting

One of the most important skills you can develop as a human being is to ask great questions.

Not only will this improve the quality of your relationships and how you interact with others, but it will also improve how you interact with yourself and the world around you.

Begin to question everything in your life from your beliefs about yourself, money, success, and happiness to your beliefs about society, the world, and god.

The more you question things, the more you shall discover and the better your life will be.

2. Take Time to Disconnect Daily

We live in a day and age of extreme connectedness. If we aren’t on our computers, we are on our phones, if we aren’t on our phones we are watching tv, and if we aren’t doing any of those things, we are probably sleeping.

A habit you should implement immediately is taking time every day to disconnect from your devices and get alone out in nature. Get on a walk or bike ride and put things into perspective.

Not only will the time away from your iPhone be rejuvenating, it will also help you to clear your mind of clutter and discover things about yourself and the world you never knew before.

3. All Great Leaders Have Understood that We Are All Connected

One of the common threads among all great leaders of peace (MLK, Ghandi, etc.) was the belief that we are all connected. We are all on this ride together, all sharing this human experience we are all “one.”

Understand this and it will change the way you interact with the world and those around you. You will have a new viewpoint, more compassion, more love and less anger.
