get inspired number one would you rather deal with failure or the regret of not trying at all you are born with potential then you get shaped by your family your education your environment and the people who you keep close this molds people in different ways some cultures encourage risk-taking While others are more conservative the choice you have to make is what's more scary failure or regret failure is not something to joke around with because it can bring public humiliation it can have repercussions on your livelihood and you only get to fail so many times before

you're unable to play the game anymore but growth only happens when you stretch your limits something that we want you to think about is this failure is temporary but regret is permanent you can always rise up after failure you can learn from it use it as a stepping stone to get yourself closer to success but regret well regret is something that will eat you from within you'll carry it with you until the very last day of your life which burden do you wish to carry number two will you live the life you want or the

life your parents want now we had to include this one okay every person should choose the life they wish to live learn from people who you respect but don't let anyone dictate your life because it's not their life to live why does it matter what your uncle thinks your life should look like why does it matter what that low-wage teacher thinks your major should be parents would gladly sacrifice happiness and fulfillment for the security of their children without even realizing just how much damage they might be doing there's this quote by Frank Zappa that goes

like this if you end up with a boring miserable life because you listen to your mom your dad your teacher your priest or some guy on television then you deserve it number three would you rather spend your time growing or being entertained now this is something you have to deal with every single day how are you going to spend your time do you choose to be entertained or educated everyone wants your attention Okay that's why the feed never ends and the reals keep coming the simple distinction between what's good for you and what's pure entertainment

is enough to make you more aware people love of entertainment celebrities are seen as people of importance and value because they have money people worship them for their success but life is built by Builders okay you can become one too or you could spend your time glued to the screen not realizing that you are being farmed for Content number four would you rather enjoy the present or secure the future now sometimes the only thing that matters is the present moment right Christmas with your family walking your dog on a Saturday morning front row tickets to

your favorite artist catching up with an old friend these are moments when you're creating core memories and then there are moments when you're actively building and securing your future the choice most people make is to live somewhere in between many people choose to live somewhere in the middle they often socialize when they should be working and even when they're out they're glued to their phones they sacrifice the future for that present moment and they ironically are not even that present you're always trading with the future my friend it's up to you to decide what kind

of Trades you want to make and what kind of ratio you want to maintain number five do you want to work for others or for yourself now you can be happy and fulfilled in both situations okay the first one comes with security and consistency while the second one comes with a lot more stress but higher rewards it all boils down to what kind of expectations you have for your life the reason why it's important to make this distinction is because most people want The Best of Both Worlds while also not committing to any of them

and that's what leads them into a loop of low job satisfaction and feeling like they're just a cog and a bigger machine that's how you get people who've learned nothing new in the past 5 years and feel stuck but if you want to live a truly enriching life you need to never stop learning always compounding knowledge and there's no better way to do that than by using using the alux app we designed it specifically for entrepreneurs top level managers and high Achievers like yourself to consistently level up your game across all areas of life from

you can make for your well-being is the place you call home and people usually make the Choice based on what's comfortable and easy without any deeper thoughts behind it number nine do you want to be the driver or the passenger in your life once again you're faced with an existential dilemma there are two ways to live your life okay the first way like everything is pre-written in your destiny and you're just floating by on a boat carrying you wherever that river goes or two the world is chaotic filled with unlimited potential nothing is set in

stone and you're the one writing every single page now depending on this choice and the way you view life things get more or less complicated if you pick the first one there's no need to struggle or push yourself because Destiny has already been picked out at your birth the second one has its downsides as well of course because if your life is terrible you're the only person to blame you take complete ownership of it the good and the bad when life is happening to you you have to make a call okay are you going to

shape the outcome yourself or are you willing to let the dice roll and just see how they fall number 10 would you rather risk it all or play it safe now we found there are different character traits that influence the attitude that one has toward life some people are calculated and never try to expose themselves to risk While others embrace it sometimes to their own detriment both choose to take action both want to end up at the same destination which is usually happiness personal fulfillment and financial success what's different though about these two is the

road they take the higher the risk the shorter the distance to that destination but don't ever imagine it's going to be an easy road on the other hand there's this beaten path the one that others have walked on before you and got to exactly the place where you wanted to be if you're smart about it you'll study these people and prepare for the journey beforehand if you're extra smart you'll get yourself a tour guide someone to show you the way and our alux goal Mastery course would be the perfect investment here you've never analyzed your

kids don't wait that long either because that Gap and age will make it even more difficult to connect with them later on mainly because of that age Gap and the difference in Generations if you have your first child at the age of 32 which is a completely acceptable and normal age these days by the time they turn 18 you're 50 years old this kid will grow up with V technology embedded in their contact lenses connected to the cloud since they were born spending time in Virtual Worlds with their friends you're just going to be this
