Ditch college and be lazy! πŸ†

Published over 3 years agoΒ β€’Β 3 min read

Hey Reader,
​
Hope you had an awesome week.
​
As 2020 is nearing the end (woo hoo!), I have been thinking about creating some upcoming content around goal setting, forming new habits, developing a life vision, etc., since these are always popular topics this time of year.
​
I'd love to know your thoughts.
​
If you can spare a few minutes and complete this quick survey, I will be much grateful! πŸ™

​
Forgive and Accept Yourself For Being Fully Human​
Part of being human means sometimes we are prone to turn on ourselves or feel like we are falling short.
​
This happens in countless situations: we disappoint a friend or family member, we lose our temper in an argument with our partner, don't get that job we wanted, fall off from our workout routine, go on a sugar binge, just miss in reaching one of our goals, etc.
​
When things go "wrong" in life, there is a deep conditioning within us to affix this sense of "wrongness" to ourselves.
​
The next time you find that you are judging yourself or others in this manner, read this short poem below β€” and allow it to spark compassion and freedom for your experience in being fully human.
​
​If you can do all of this...

If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills,
​
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
​
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
​
If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,
​
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,
​
If you can overlook when people take things out on you when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
​
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
​
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
​
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
​
If you can relax without liquor,
​
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
​
If you can do all these things, then you probably are...

Saving For Your Kid's College Education?

You might have a new perspective after watching these videos.​

​

​
In case you missed it, on social media this week Mindvalley CEO Vishen Lakhiani made a public decree that it’s time to finally cancel the idea of college.​
​
And that no one needs to go to college anymore.
​
​
He doubled down his claim by issuing a public challenge to Harvard University betting one million dollars that Mindvalley for under $500 a year, can provide a better education to any human being, anywhere, than Harvard.
​
​It was pretty bad-ass!
