CH 1: Never break the promises you made to yourself.
Suppose you have a friend who calls you up one day and says that he wants to meet you. You invite him to a park to meet him the next day, but he doesn't come. That day in the evening, he calls you and apologizes to you and says that he will definitely come to meet you tomorrow.
The next day you go out to meet him again, but he doesn't come again. Calling in the evening, he apologizes to you and says that he will definitely meet you the next day.
But the next day the same thing happens again. If someone treats you like this, you will stop trusting him over time. When that friend of yours makes a promise to you, you will know that he is not going to fulfill it. You will not like people like this.
But just ask yourself, how many promises do you make to yourself that you do not fulfill? You promised yourself to get up in the morning and do exercise. did you complete it?
You said that from now on you will only eat healthy food. did you finish it?
You said that from now on you will save money and not spend unnecessarily. did you do?
In this way, you stop trusting yourself. You get used to it and even before doing any work, you know that you are not going to do it. You start hating yourself with time and you start falling into your own eyes. So if you don't want to be like that friend of yours, then you have to keep the promise you made to yourself.
For this, you can start small. If you want to lose weight, then make a habit of exercising for just minutes 4 days a week. After that, you take it for 20 minutes and then for 1 hour. Over time, when you start feeling that you are now exercising for 1 hour without any problem, then make a habit of exercising 6 days a week. In this way, you will be able to make yourself better than before.
CH 2: If you want to turn your dreams into reality, then stop giving up.
Many people dream. Many people work hard. Many people wake up early in the morning and read books too. But still many people are not successful. Why so? There can be many reasons behind this.
At first, many people assume that others know better than them. When their parents say that their dream is too big and cannot be fulfilled, they listen to them. When someone tells them that they are not able to do the given work well, they assume that they will never be able to do it well.
When trouble comes to people's heads, many people start advising them that they are trying to do impossible things. That's why they give up. If you want to make your dreams come true, don't give up.
One path may not work for you, you may fall on the way, but don't give up. When Tim Ferriss wrote his book The Four Hour Workweek, many publishers refused to publish his book. But when that book was published, it became a best seller. After this, many people give up because they do not have the ability to be patient. Doing anything great takes time and so no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to achieve it quickly.
When Jack Ma was starting Alibaba, his company did not make any profit for the first 3 years. Even after this for some time they were earning very little profit. But he didn't give up. As a result, today he is one of the richest people in China and Alibaba is one of the largest companies in the world. So no matter how many people tell you that your dream will never come true or no matter how long it takes to fulfill it, never give up.
CH 3: Learn to adapt to your body to improve your sex life.
When the author first met her husband, he had no sexual experience. Also, they were not told much about sex in their childhood. Because of this, she used to feel very awkward when she was with her husband.
But now they have 4 kids and their sex life is much better than that of an average woman. If you want to improve your sex life, then, first of all, you have to adapt your body. The writer was often worried about what her husband was thinking of her body. Do they really find them beautiful? Didn't his stomach get bigger? But on the other hand, her husband had no problem with his body. That's why he used to feel very good during sex while the writer used to feel very awkward. If you also doubt your own beauty, then start telling yourself how beautiful you are.
Start appreciating different parts of your body and with time you will start to believe in it too. After this do not think that orgasm is just a part of sex. Rather, orgasm is the reason for having sex. So the author decided that she would never have sex in which she does not have an orgasm. Her husband liked her idea very much. In this way, they were able to make each other feel good during sex and their relationship became better over time. In the end, to improve your sex life, have as much sex as you can. If possible, try to have sex every day of any one month of the year.
CH 4: You cannot control your life completely, so learn to accept the difficulties in it.
When you have kids, your life changes completely. Along with this, you also get to know what is a disaster.
Sometimes it becomes very difficult to handle children. But you don't need to be disappointed by this. When many people's lives don't go their way, they feel that they are worthless and nothing will happen to them.
But you cannot control everything and so learn to accept the problems of your life. When you grow out of them, they become wonderful memories that you can talk about and laugh with your family. The writer was being interviewed when she was digging up a child along with her husband.
The interviewer was trying to find out whether they were the right parents to raise that child. Then his son Ford said that he does not like it at all when his father comes to the house and shouts. On this, the writer was very afraid that her foster parent's certificate might get canceled.
But later he came to know that his son was only talking about the previous night. He was not sleeping due to which his father got angry with him. Now when the writer relives this memory with her family, she laughs a lot. After this, to make life easier, say yes to those people who can help you. It is often our habit to say - let it be, why would you bother. But doing so will never make your life easier. So wherever you get help, take it.
CH 5: Stop comparing yourself to supermodels.
Many people keep comparing themselves with those people who have a lot of money and who try to look good by spending lakhs of rupees on their bodies. By weighing yourself down on people like this, you are just undermining your confidence. So whatever you are fat, dark, small, or thin, learn to be yourself.
You are beautiful already. Everything created by God is beautiful and He loves you even when you are fat. But because He has given you this body, it is important that you take care of it. You don't need to be perfect like those supermodels, but you do need to take care of yourself.
For this, you can do some easy work every day. Eat fewer calories than you expend in a day. Use the stairs, try to go somewhere on foot instead of by car. But even after doing all these things, you may have some problems.
For this, you can follow these methods. First of all, unfollow all those people on your social media sites who make you feel small.
If you see people with these perfect bodies, you will automatically feel bad for yourself. Their photo is taken with the best camera and later it is heavily edited, which makes them look so beautiful.
You work to improve yourself, not to make yourself perfect, then prepare yourself to do healthy work. If you have to go to work out in the morning, then sleep at night wearing your workout clothes so that you can go straight to workout after waking up in the morning. If you want to improve your diet, then remove unneeded food from your fridge. Prepare yourself for everything.
CH 6: Adopt people who are not like you to make your life better.
It happens many times that we go out somewhere and we are surprised to see the civilization there. The writer has lived in a white society since childhood which used to be very religious.
But when she first went to Disneyland, she saw a lot of black people. He got to see strange strange types of people whose living conditions he did not like. But over time the author learned that many people in our world do not think like us and by adopting them, we can make our life fun. We get to learn a lot from them. The writer came to know about this when she found her two homosexual friends.
By staying with him, he learned that the kind of questions he had asked in the past could hurt him. He learned that sometimes we are so attached to people of our kind that we also like their wrong words. He learned how other types of people see the world and live their lives. With this, she was able to get out of the well in which she had been living all her life.
You just need to go to different places to meet different kinds of people. If possible, leave the temple and go to the mosque or leave the mosque and go to the church. Whatever you do, don't ever spend your life with like-minded people. Learn to embrace something different. Look at your life like a rainbow, if all its colors are the same then it will not be beautiful.
CH 7: To achieve your destination, think about it and try to take a picture of it in your mind.
Often when people are asked what they want to do, their answer is that they want to do something great. But they do not know what comes in this greatness. Because of this, they often get confused and cannot concentrate on their work. Also, some people say that they want to become rich and famous, but they do not know that after achieving what they will consider themselves rich.
To achieve your dreams, first, think about them in detail. Think about how your life will be when you achieve that destination. Also, decide what you will reward yourself when you achieve that destination.
For Example
The writer promised herself that she would get a Louis Vuitton purse the day she first received a $10,000 check from a client for business coaching. After this, she kept charging $ 700 fees from her clients for several years. Gradually he increased it to $ 1500. There came a point when he charged his client $10,000.
On this day she went to the store and brought herself a Louis Vuitton purse, which she felt very proud of after buying. Here the author told herself in full detail that she would buy her first purse the day she received the $10,000 check. His goal was completely clear and there was a reward attached to it.
In this way, she was able to do it through it and she knew very well what she had to do to get there.
So do you know what you have to do to achieve your destination?
Have you decided what you will give to yourself once you have achieved it?
Have you tried to feel what your life will be like once you have achieved it?
If not, then the time has come for you to find answers to these questions. With this, you will be able to give yourself courage in difficult times.
Overall, to make your life better, first of all, you have to think well of yourself. Keep some promises you made to yourself and stop comparing yourself to others. You cannot control your life completely and therefore learn to accept the difficulties in it.
To achieve your destination, think about it and promise yourself a reward for achieving it. In this way, you will be able to encourage yourself in difficult times. Stop comparing yourself to others.
One of the secrets to making life better is knowing the fact that you have only one competitor and that person you used to be. Stop comparing yourself to others and just try to make yourself better than before. Don't worry about what others like. Focus on what you like and keep trying to improve yourself in that work.
