3. Know how to be responsible

For every aspect of your life. Make this a priority. Blaming other people for what happens in your life will keep you from being truly happy with whom you are. It’s not about what happens to you, but how you deal with it by taking responsibility.

5. Know what you are good at

Everyone has strengths that make them good at something. Sometimes this can be difficult to identify because it comes naturally to you. Use these strengths to find your flow. This can be useful to find work or even start a business or career you will love!

6. Know the company you keep

Who are the kind of people you spend the most time with? Jim Rohn once said:

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

Try to spend time with people who motivate and inspire you, who are positive and will stand by you, 100{54c12dad2cc2b53ae830e39915b1a3e70288dbcbbeb8bbf8395437c5dc3c512c}.
