THE FIVE YEAR RULE.

WHENEVER YOU’RE IN ANY TYPE OF SITUATION, GOOD OR BAD, ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION: IS THIS PERSON OR EVENT GOING TO MATTER IN FIVE YEARS? SAY IT’S A FAMILY MEMBER’S WEDDING WHO REALLY MEANS SOMETHING TO YOU THEN YOU SHOULD OBVIOUSLY GO TO THAT EVENT BECAUSE IN FIVE YEARS TIME YOU WILL SAY TO YOURSELF “I SHOULD HAVE GONE TO THAT”. IF SOMEONE IS GIVING YOU A HARD TIME AND THEY’RE NOT THAT IMPORTANT TO YOU THEN JUST LET IT GO. IT’S NOT GOING TO AFFECT YOU AS MUCH AS YOU THINK AT THE END OF THE DAY. IT WILL FEEL BETTER TO GET AWAY FROM THAT TYPE OF NEGATIVITY AND JUST CONCENTRATE ON THE POSITIVITY. ALTHOUGH IT SOUNDS REALLY SIMPLE, IT CAN BE HARD THING TO KEEP IN MIND AND DO. AT THE END OF THE DAY IT’S HELPED ME TO LET GO OF ALL THE PETTY THINGS THAT DON’T REALLY MATTER TO ME AND JUST MADE ME PAY ATTENTION TO THE IMPORTANT THINGS AND THE PEOPLE THAT I LOVE. IT HELP ME FIND SO MUCH MORE HAPPINESS IN MY LIFE.

I HOPE IT HELPS YOU TOO.

A TRUE GENTLEMAN WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF, WITHOUT CHANGING WHO YOU REALLY ARE. A MAN WILL EMPOWER THOSE AROUND HIM. HE WILL STRIVE FOR GREATNESS AND THEREFORE INSPIRE OTHERS TO STRIVE FOR IT AS WELL. THIS NOT ONLY INCLUDES FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS, BUT ALSO SIGNIFICANT OTHERS. AS MARK TWAIN SAID – KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHO TRY TO BELITTLE YOUR AMBITIONS. SMALL PEOPLE ALWAYS DO THAT, BUT THE REALLY GREAT MAKE YOU FEEL THAT YOU, TOO, CAN BECOME GREAT.
