How many challenges in your life would already be solved if you had adopted the mindset: forget your feelings, follow the plan?

How much further would you be in the areas that truly matter to you?

Of course, this mindset has a price: it can turn you into someone emotionally detached, blind to your own feelings and those of others, creating an entirely new set of problems in different parts of your life.

“The study found that a person's life satisfaction is very, very strongly connected to their personality traits.

When they removed all the usual problems from how things were measured, they could predict how happy someone was with their life almost perfectly (like 80% to 90% accurate) just by knowing their personality traits.

Even with just a few personality questions, they could predict life satisfaction very well.

They found that being emotionally stable (not getting upset easily), being extraverted (outgoing), and being conscientious (organized and hardworking) were the most connected to life satisfaction.

Being open to new things or agreeable (kind) had a smaller connection.

These strong connections were found in all three groups of people, even though they spoke different languages. They also found that life satisfaction stayed pretty much the same over 10 years, and its connection to personality traits also stayed strong over that time.”

🎯That’s why so many dumb people are winning in life: because they are all about execution!

Addiction is a progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure.

Happiness is a progressive expansion of the things that bring you pleasure.

The former emerges passively.
The latter takes work.

I'm Blinded By Your Grace (By Your Grace)
I'm Blinded By Your Grace, by your grace (By Your Grace)
I'm Blinded By Your Grace (By Your Grace)
I'm Blinded By Your (By Your)
Lord I've been broken
Although I'm not worthy
You fixed me
I'm Blinded By Your Grace
You came and saved me
Lord I've been broken
Although I'm not worthy
You fixed me
Now I'm Blinded By Your Grace
You came and saved me
One time for the Lord
And one time for the cause
And one round of applause
One time for Fraser T Smith on the chords
I think we got one, I stay prayed up then I get the job done
Yeah, I'm Abigail's yout, but I'm God's son
But I'm up now, look at what God's done
Now I real talk, look at what God did
On the main stage runnin' 'round topless
I phone Flipz then I tell him that we got this
This is God's plan, they can never stop this
Like, wait right there, could you stop my verse?
You saved this kid and I'm not your first
It's not by blood and it's not by birth
But oh my God, what a God I serve
Lord I've been broken
Although I'm not worthy
You fixed me
I'm Blinded By Your Grace
You came and saved me
Lord I've been broken
Although I'm not worthy
You fixed me
Now I'm Blinded By Your Grace
You came and saved me
I said a prayer this morning
I prayed I would find a way
To another day, I was so afraid
'Til you came and saved, you came and saved me
And the rain was pouring, 'cause the sun faded away
Now I'm in a better place, no longer afraid
Blinded By Your Grace, you came and saved me, yeah
I said a prayer this morning, I prayed I would find a way
To another day, I was so afraid
'Til you came and saved, you came and saved me
And the rain was pouring, 'cause the sun faded away
Now I'm in a better place, no longer afraid
Blinded By Your Grace, you came and saved me, yeah
Lord I've been broken
Although I'm not worthy
You fixed me
I'm Blinded By Your Grace
You came and saved me
Lord I've been broken
Although I'm not worthy
You fixed me
Now I'm Blinded By Your Grace
You came and saved me

A better way to live.
