What I am going to talk about might contain a lil bit of controversy or opinions you might not like to agree to. But, I am gonna write it anyway because I have discovered this truth in life. Its about the mindset and the things we value in our lives because they ultimately shape the quality of life we are going to have.

How your values are going to define your life?

Let me simplify this for you. The things you value the most, your mind revolves around it most of the time. If you keep on valuing what others say about you and your work then you are going to stay stuck thinking how to change their perspective towards you. But hey, here is a little secret for you that time to time people who don’t like you will pretend that you are a bad person so that they don’t feel guilty about how they are treating you.

We all have issues in life. We have people who used to be our friends but they aren’t anymore. We have people who often pretend to be our friends in order to be in our good books but as soon as we are away from them the first thing they do is talk trash about us.

What’s my point is that the more you value the toxic people’s toxic opinions in life the more you are going to hammer your own personal growth.

Poor people often die as a poor only because their whole life they keep on valuing the thoughts about somehow bringing sufficient money to feed their families for the day. Its not the system or the rich people who are doing something wrong to them. They themselves are responsible for their hell because they value the temporary solutions to their problems instead of looking out for brighter prospects that will force them to do a little extra.

The reason why rich people are getting richer because they don’t think about staying in a box & surviving for the day. Instead, they value the ideas that come in their minds to keep on multiplying their fortune with the extra efforts they can put in.

What to value vs what not to value in life

Small minded & unsuccessful people often value other people, gossips, system’s flaws, addictions & complaints. Meanwhile a winner or a successful person always values good ideas, words of wisdom & sources of knowledge.

Let me put it this way. A person addicted alcohol or drugs will anyway find their sources to gather enough alcohol or drugs for the day that they can get high. At an age where a person can work for endless hours and strive for what they need in life, the person values their addictions more than their goals in life. This somehow leads that person to stay stuck in that hell loop for life and then they reach a position from where there is no way back and life starts sucking the blood out of them.

They soon find themselves into worst financial, physical or mental conditions in life which leaves them with nothing but regrets when they see the ones who started at the same time reaching new heights in life.

Meanwhile when a person goes a little strict on himself & values knowledge, network, ideas & goals at the right time then ultimately that person finds himself in a good position at the right time in life.

Value people’s opinions & you’ll keep on getting hurt by them & would struggle to find growth in life. But, value yourself & your thoughts instead of what others say about you & sooner you’ll find your personal Nirvana where everything you do goes just right.

Value the bad thoughts of the people around you & you’ll find more of them to suffocate you. Value your negative addictions & you’ll find more and more sources for it. This is how your bad values pulls you deep in the quicksand of a bad lifestyle.

Value good people, you’ll find more of them. Value good ideas & sources of knowledge & you’ll find more of them. This is how you set good values & you grow in the right direction in life. These values are gonna shape the right lifestyle for you.

Key Takeaways

Manifestation is a truth & the more you manifest good things for you in life by valuing the good part, the more you increase your chances to land at a good place.

So, when you have the power & authority to choose what’s right for you in life & God has blessed you with a mind that helps you to recognize the difference between the right & wrong people, ideas & habits. So, you better use it to take you in the right direction to lead a life in which you’d be living your dreams & loving every bit of it.
