7 traits of successful and happy people.
1) How to be strong enough to face all of the problems of life—those that you’ll face on your Peaky Path.
For now, you’ll have the Peaky Pines Community to come back to, and some day, you’ll have the Peaky Pines HQ to go to.
These 7 traits are subjective to my own experiences.
2) Calmness:
Stress doesn’t benefit anybody.
It’ll make you react to someone messing with you that leads to someone getting hurt and you getting each other.
It leads to broken marriages.
Blaming your own children for your emotions and other problems.
Less reliability, because you don’t choose your thoughts and actions.
Less employable, because you’re less reliable and have a stressful energy.
3) Accountability:
No benefit to blaming others, because you don’t grow.
Creates conflict.
Be accountable by asking “what was the reason for that tension?” after an argument.
Then asking, “how did I contribute to that tension?”
“What systems should I build, in order to reduce anger, fear and anxiety within myself?”
4) Confidence:
Also known as personal faith.
No matter what anyone says to you, you’re able to recall that they don’t know what they’re talking about, what’s going on, who you are or even who they are.
Therefore, you don’t care what others think.
You have evidence of your capabilities and therefore build respect and love for yourself, which allows you to express love to others and to be a positive and GROWING energy force.
How to build personal faith? Create systems and follow them while using Reconditioning Sentences, to create small cumulative pieces of evidence that you can do what you set out to do.
5) Compassion:
You must not judge others, as they’re dealing with enough already.
And you should be judging yourself, for not focusing on you.
Being positive towards others is okay though, and IS focusing on yourself because you’re improving your energy and theirs.
Understand people’s different backgrounds and experiences and life-lines.
Life-lines, meaning that some people probably have problems now, that they were destined to have and learn to deal with,
And maybe part of their role in this world makes it so they aren’t MEANT to overcome the problem PERFECTLY.
Everyone exists for a reason.
Embrace them, and learn from them.
6) Honesty:
Be honest with people, to avoid having to confess anything in the future.
Dishonesty is a short-term solution.
If you sugarcoat things, you don’t get exactly what you want and you might need to ask for more, or for something different in the future.
Like I told my landlord that I need until the 23rd to get into a new place after getting evicted, and yet I needed until the 24th, which I should’ve just said.
Because I had to ask, “Okay, can I actually have until this date?”
You don’t need to be a completely open book though.
You can still be mysterious, by choosing what you say.
7) Authenticity:
Don’t say anything that doesn’t feel right.
Don’t agree with things that you don’t agree with.
Don’t speak in a way that doesn’t really feel right to you.
Nothing makes any sense, and this life is fucken weird.
So don’t think too much about it, but be yourself.
Stay true to your energetic feelings.
Yep.
8) Become the kind of person who treats things as life-long commitments, rather than short-term attempts at improvement:
This means becoming the kind of person who builds systems.
Who’s introspective and who asks what they want and who questions things, asking, “How does that work?… What’s the reason that they might feel like that?…What’s the reason for this thing happening?…How do I use this thing to my advantage?”
And who doesn’t view hard-work as something that you need to have a break from.
And who understands that these three aforementioned things take time, and commitment THEMSELVES.
Happiness comes from hard-work, and from trying to be the best you.
Do it.
