1)

everything in our lives is interconnected. you cannot uplift one part of your life without uplifting others.

When we create a positive momentum in one area of our life, it helps elevate other areas too. But in order to make it work, we need to know what our life consists of. And it goes way beyond just "work" and "life". We need a full, holistic, detailed picture of our life.

So, what I learned was:

if you want to level up your life, you need to look at it as a whole.

2)

change is good, and pivoting is a natural part of the journey.

You don’t need to know the whole path in order to take the first step. Moreover, you will never even know know your path until you take that first step. The journey will unfold in front of you as you step on it – as long as you are intentional, flexible and open-minded.

So, what I learned was:

if you want to succeed, you need to stay flexible and be ready for change.

3)

RIGHT DECISIONS FIND US WHEN WE ARE IN HARMONY WITH OURSELVES.

The answers you are looking for are not out there, they are within you. And in order to uncover them, you need to look inside yourself. The only way to make the right decisions and to set the right priorities (those that will feel right) is to ensure they are aligned with who you are and what is important to you in life.

So, what I learned was:

in order to have direction in life, you need to know your core values.

4)

the way to build confidence is not to fix what you're bad at. it is to capitalize on what you're good at.

Saying, "Don't be afraid, just do it!", won't help you build self-confidence – all it does is dismisses your fear. Instead, confidence is built over time through action. It is about being afraid and still taking action because of how important this action is to you. And then learning from that action how strong you actually are, and capitalizing on that strength.

So, what I learned was:

in order to push forward, you need to maximize your strengths.

5)

we need joy and positive experiences in life in order to see opportunities around us.

We all seek life opportunities, ways to solve problems and achieve desired results – and they are already around us. The caveat is, in order to see them we need to be in the right state of mind. External pressure, stress and overwhelm prevent us from seeing those opportunities. The paradox is: the more we fixate on a particular result, the more we stress about getting there, the more we ignore all the good that is happening in our life today – the further we are from actually achieving that result.

So, what I learned was:

if you want to achieve your future goals, you need to live your life to its fullest today.

6)

focusing on one thing at a time is way more EFFICIENT than stretching yourself.

When we try to do 10 different things at once, we give each one of them 10% of our energy at best. As a result, we achieve mediocre results everywhere, and it doesn't motivate us to keep going. On the other hand, when we choose one area to focus on and when we give it 100%, we can really move the needle. And it creates that positive momentum that we can now continue building up on.

So, what I learned was:

in order to achieve 10X results, you need to focus on one goal at a time.
