How to Eliminate Self Doubt Forever & The Power of Your Unconscious Mind by
Peter
Sage
As humans, our perception of our limits tend to
discourage us and subconsciously suggest that we can't
succeed. Our subconscious tends to limit our conscious, so we need to align our conscious to
cooperate
with the subconscious. Our environments tend to win out over our desires and motivations. The
solution
to these issues is to make sure we put ourselves in suitable environments, and stop putting the
wrong
things into our minds and start putting the right things in our mind.
My Philosophy for a Happy Life by Sam Berns
Be okay with what you can't do, because there are so many things you can do.
Surround yourself with good people and people you love.
Keep moving forward, seek new avenues and continue to grow.
Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Lee Duckworth
Grit is a better indicator of success than
intelligence
or social skills. Because of this, grit might be
an important topic to educate kids with rather than running with the stereotypes that success is
inherent and comes naturally to most successful people.
The Paradox of Choice by Professor Renata Salecl
Choices can cause anxiety, even though we all want
change. The perceptions of other people affect our actions, because we're self-conscious, which
reduces
the capacity for radical social change. Choice also requires a loss, which is why we try to mitigate
loss as much of possible by trying to choose the "best" choice. The world has evolved into a place
where
people believe that they are in charge of their lives, even though they are trapped in a system of
long
work hours and consumption, and people tend to blame themselves for all failure, even if that is not
so.
