Who are your people?

one day spent with someone you love can change everything; if you apply the 80:20 principle to your personal life, you will get even greater returns. Take your social circle as an example; 20 % of ur frds vll give u 80% of ur joy; yet v try to fit everyone in. it’s impossible; we accept invitations to events we are not even sure we want to go to but we can’t find a couple of hours for closest friend who always puts a smile on your face. Far better to identify the top 20% of people in your life who make you happiest, and schedule time with them first. I am not suggesting cutting anyone out of your life and of course not everyone we love makes us happy all the time, but you have to make sure you prioritize those who matter most to you; find your tribe- nurture it , build it , grow it bcoz that vll help u become the person you want to be - Excerpt from Do less get more

• Don’t complain for 30 days and just watch how your life changes.
• Take chances, take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up just the way it should be. Your mistakes make who you are. You learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel , always. Be you, and be ok with it.
