The most important aspects of your life

The most important aspects of your life:

The most important aspects of your life.

‍

These are some of them.

‍

The most important asset in your life?

‍

Time.

‍

The most important decisions of your life?

‍

Where you work.

‍

What you work on.

‍

And who you marry.

‍

Every other decision is largely irrelevant.

‍

But those 3 are everything.

‍

Where do you want to build a life?

A city?

‍

A town?

‍

The one you grew up in?

‍

Or the one where you get to start from scratch?

‍

Where you build a life out of nothing?

‍

Do you want to be around other people building?

‍

Or live the same lives your parents did?

Next, what do you work on.

‍

Work takes up a huge chunk of our life.

‍

We spend most of our days working on something for someone.

‍

Do your best to make sure that it is aligned with what you want.

‍

With what you want to build.

‍

With what you’re curious about.

‍

With what you want to create.

‍

If it’s not, move.

‍

Take a step back if you have to.

‍

It’s ok.

‍

Get to a place where work doesn’t feel like work anymore.

‍

It feels like play.

‍

The place where you get paid to be yourself.

‍

And lastly, the most important decision of all.

‍

Who you marry.

‍

Your partner is someone you’re going to spend your life with.

‍

Huge portions of it at least.

‍

Who you decide to sleep next to every day is a MASSIVE decision.

‍

Pick the right person and watch your life expand exponentially.

‍

Pick the wrong one and watch it be torn to shreds.

‍

There are some great people on this earth.

There are also some terrible ones.

‍

To understand a person, understand their past.

Understand their parents.

‍

Understand their childhood.

‍

Understand their upbringing.

‍

Where do they come from?

‍

Where did they grow up?

‍

What was their relationship like with their parents when they were younger?

How is it now?

Do they have friends?

‍

One they still are close to?

‍

What’s their broader family like?

‍

Then it comes down to the person.

‍

How do you feel when you’re around them?

‍

One of my favourite concepts I’ve ever learned - the vampire test.

‍

After you’ve left an interaction with someone, how did you feel?

‍

Did you feel positive, uplifted and had more energy?

‍

Or did they feel like a vampire - sucking energy out of you?

‍

If it’s the second, run away yesterday.

Drop those people.

‍

Don’t spend time with them.

‍

You need people around you who are optimistic.

‍

Who look at the world and no matter how bad it gets, continue to try to see the best in everything.

‍

Doesn’t always mean it’ll be easy.

‍

Life will throw curveballs at you.

‍

You want someone you can absorb together.

‍

Not someone who’s only there when things are good.

‍

But also when shit hits the fan.

‍

No one gets through this life unscathed.

‍

But having a great partner by your side really does make all the difference.

‍

Other important considerations.

‍

Who do you listen to.

‍

Do you listen to positive uplifting people who are doing great things?

‍

Or the same stupid influencers or athletes who are selling you the next thing to buy? 

‍

How do you spend your time?

‍

Scrolling?

‍

Or bettering yourself?

‍

You have a choice.

‍

We all do.

‍

Our life is made up of many of them.

‍

But these are some of the most important.

‍

Think about them longer and harder than you do others.

‍

Most of our decisions are largely meaningless.

‍

These ones radically change the trajectory of your life.

‍

So what life do you want?

‍

Your answers to these questions will tell you.

‍

Don’t neglect the most important aspects of your life.
