Be useful: Seven tools for life

“This, I believe, is one of the reasons so many people feel stuck in their lives: they live in a world that they don’t understand. The world is what it is, and they are who they are, and is just something that they have to accept and deal with. Maybe they were born into a life in which others were rich and they were poor, or others were tall, or smart, or physically gifted, and they were just opposite of those things. And no one explained to them that while there are some circumstances you can’t change, there are others that you can change by being curious and by being a sponge, and then using that knowledge you gain to craft the vision for yourself. No one has shown these poor souls that they can make their own fate, that they can change their circumstances so dramatically that it will make the unchangable things irrelevant. Anyone can make their own fate.”
