The nine immutable laws of success you never heard of

What does ‘success’ mean to you?

It is obviously subjective. But the strategies we can use to find our own versions of success share similarities.

Not all the best ideas are in your favourite self-help book, though.

Some of them are right here…

1. Law of Enjoyment.

No matter how seemingly tedious or ugly the task, you can find a way to enjoy what you’re doing.

This is made possible through slowing down, being present, and relishing the finer details in the work.

What advantage could this create for you?

2. Law of Not Being a Whiny Dweeb.

Many of us unconsciously create more hardship for ourselves by adopting the persona of a scared victim who’s been ‘unjustly’ treated.

It may seem empowering to complain and judge, but you’re hurting yourself the most.

There is instant power in this very subtle mind shift.

Assume responsibility for it all.

Nobody successful didn’t approach life like a kickass warrior who gave few fucks.

3. Law of the Broken Toothbrush.
