DrBAE - Dr Bartons Aural Elixirs (Iain Barton Shorts)

My 5 Life LessonsOver the years, life has taught me many lessons.Here are five I really wished I followed better in my life.1. Own less. Live more.The more we own and buy it seems to me the less free we feel. Experiences, relationships, and memories bring more meaning to our lives than possessions.2. Live with integrity.Doing the right thing is so important if you want to live with yourself comfortably.Integrity matters most when no-one is looking.Be the best character you can to shape your life.3. Leave what consistently harms you.Not every difficulty should be avoided.Not every scar, pain and sorrow should be regretted.But if a situation repeatedly harms your wellbeing, walking away may be the wisest choice.4. Accept people as they are.People can change, but only when they choose to.Life becomes easier when we stop trying to turn others into who we wish they were.5. Value substance over appearance.Superficial appearance attracts awards and materialistic success but character, effort and genuine value are the things that earn lasting respect.So, if I could summarise:Own less.Live honestly.Walk away if hurting deeply.Accept people as they are.Focus on substance and value.A good life isn't built on having more.It's built on giving more.Best wishes,Iain#LifeLessons #PersonalGrowth #DrBAE

A Sad Man's Good Advice1. Live in the hope that somebody or something is going to save BUT act in your life as if nobody is coming to save you, AND REMEMBER whatever happens that's perfectly okay.2. Just do it. There's never the right time. Motivation comes and goes, so stop waiting to feel motivated and focus and do it now.3. Your future self so needs you today, right now! Let your future self be the master and decision maker for what you are doing right now.4. Most people aren't thinking about you - thank goodness!5. Learn to accept with discomfort, it's usually a sign of positive growth or improvement. Lose weight - hunger. Learn hard stuff - boredom. Build something nice - tiredness. The list of forms of discomfort is a long one.6. If it's important, do it badly at first, it's not, just do it once. Don't spend too much time on stuff that's not important. Don't procrastinate on getting important things done by thinking they have to be perfect first time.7. Don't take advice from anyone too seriously, generally speaking happy people will offer happy advice, unhappy people - unhappy advice, but even that's not always true - so always question advice, and let yourself be the judge!8. Consistency and discipline and regular good habits so often can outperform talent.9. We all need a bit of loneliness, not just silence and quietness - I mean in order to process things sometimes we need to push ourselves to an uncomfortable state of loneliness and it's not such a bad thing.10. Your environment is such a massive impact on your life, your behaviours and your actions throughout the day. Change your environment (if you can) to get the results you want.11. Protect your mornings as much as you can from things far better suited for the afternoons or evenings, meetings can be more usefully placed in the afternoons, boring admin maybe the early evenings?12. Being busy and filling your time with activity isn't the same as making progress.13. Some desires only come into your life after you stop wanting them, some doors only open after you stop pushing them, some lost treasures can only be found after you stop looking for them ... 14. Comparison - just don't go there! NO! I mean it ... Don't go there! ;-)15. The hard choice is usually the right one.16. Nobody owes you closure, it's up for you to decide to move on, however you need to - make peace with your past.17. Small habits create massive outcomes and brilliant results.18. Don't chase people who aren't into you.19. The hardest regrets come from the things you didn't do.20. Be kind but don't let others abuse your kindness.21. Life gets easier, lighter and freer when you tell the truth.#LifeLessons#SelfImprovement#PersonalGrowth#Mindset#Wisdom#Motivation#Discipline#SuccessMindset#GrowthMindset#LifeAdvice
