"There is no shortage of opportunity. There is only a shortage of those who will apply themselves to the basics that success requires." (Jim Rohn)
Once, I dated a guy with titles and accolades who was often distracted by his phone.
He was ambitious, sounded sophisticated — but when it came to the crunch, I couldn't pinpoint what he stood for.
Today, many of us get stressed or unhappy when we want everything and don't know what to drop from our lives.
Successful figures from Buddha to Buffet live simply and it's crystal clear what they espouse.
Here's what I find crucial about returning to basics:
- It entails knowing what you stand for and what you value in life.
- It's using all your energy to focus on what truly matters to you.
- You might upset people who don't share your basics. Wisdom is deciding whether you should care.
