I want to do a better job of staying in touch with you. Putting out content for anyone who’s interested to sip on. This Josh's Jargon series is just stuff that goes on in my brain that I want to share in hopes that it might add even a tiny grain of value in your life.
So I gotta ask, are you guilty of over-cluttering your list of New Years Resolutions or 2018 Goals like me?
This year I tried to simplify by just selecting 2–3 important “goals” that I’m 100% committed to. Rather than 20 wishful “rezi’s” that end up being false starts.
But what about trying a different approach based on principles? After all, if all decisions are guided by excellent principles then all of our outcomes should be excellent…right?
Below are 18 amazing principles (Jedi life hacks) that I’ve compiled over the past 12 months.
They are based on common threads shared across the most successful, happy, and fulfilled people on the planet. (i.e. people like Tony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, Oprah Winfrey, Tim Ferris, Malcolm Gladwell, Stephen Covey, Mother Teresa, Seth Godin, Simon Sinek, Albert Einstein, Elenor Rosevelt, Joseph Campbell, and the list goes on)
I’ve found it useful to look at these regularly and make sure my values, goals, to-do’s, and resolutions are aligned with these core principles.
My hope is they help you in some way, as they have helped me.
What are principles?
Principles are rules or laws that are permanent, unchanging, and universal in nature. A principle is a natural law like gravity. If you drop something, gravity controls. If I don’t tell you the truth, you won’t trust me; that’s a natural law.
