Summary

Discover how shifting from a passive existence to intentional living changed everything. Three simple principles transformed my life—and they might change yours too.

The story

I used to sleepwalk through life, just existing day to day. Then I discovered three principles that changed everything.

In Chapters 3-5 of my book “The Journey – I Wish I Knew This Before I Was 21,” I share how adopting a growth mindset transformed my approach. Instead of seeing challenges as roadblocks, I began viewing them as chances to learn and develop. This single shift helped me bounce back from setbacks that once would have derailed me.

Personal responsibility was my second breakthrough. When I stopped blaming my circumstances and started owning my choices, new opportunities appeared. Taking ownership meant accepting that I – not other people, not bad luck – was in charge of my life’s direction.

The final piece? Purposeful action. Setting clear goals and tracking my progress created momentum. Without specific targets, I drifted. With them, I moved forward intentionally, even on days when motivation was nowhere to be found.

These principles sound simple, but they’re rarely practiced. Most people react to life rather than creating it.

I wrote these chapters because I wish someone had shared these insights with me sooner. The journey isn’t always easy, but it beats the alternative – a life filled with “what ifs.”
