1. Discover your purpose in life 

E.g. using the Japanese Ikigai-model to map out your Passion, Mission, Vocation and Profession. I.e. that which you love, that which to world needs, that which you can be paid for and that which you are good at.

Determine the reason you wake up each morning.

Choose something that aligns with your strengths, passions, and the needs of the world.

That is what gives life meaning.

2. Let go of what you cannot change

Recognize that some things are just out of our control, and that’s okay. Let go and focus on what you can change.

3. Find peace in imperfection

Recognize that nothing in life is perfect, including yourself and others.

Instead of striving for flawlessness, find you in the imperfections that make life unique.

4. Preserve your dignity during tough times

Show emotional maturity and self-control, even when faced with challenges.

Remember to be patient, resilient, and understanding.

5. Don’t compare yourself to others

Everyone has a different timeline and unique plan.

It’s important to focus on your own progress, rather than trying to measure yourself against others.

6. Always seek to improve in all areas of your life

Even small changes can add up and make a big impact over time.

7. Always learn more

“When the student is ready the teacher will appear. When the student is truly ready the teacher will disappear.” – Tao Te Ching

It is a way of thinking about how to learn and master a technique. There are three stages to acquiring knowledge, according to the Japanese Shu-Ha-Ri:

Shu: Learn the basics by following the teaching of one master. Imitating the work of great masters also falls in this stage.

Ha: Start experimenting, learn from masters, and integrate the learning into practice.

Ri: This stage focuses on innovation and the ability to apply your learning to a variety of situations.
