How can people live a happy and complete life, balancing their studies, jobs, interests and hobbies, while being over-educated and sociable? 

THE RIGHT MINDSET

A fundamental question has always been: What’s the key to happiness? What’s the key to success? There are so many definitions of happiness or success, you might interpret it one way while others might define it as something completely different. Then, ¿what is the only thing that unites this numerous ideas?

THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT THEM.

It’s no other than how we interiorize our surroundings, conversations, how do we handle specific events, our traits or simply what’s our point of view. Our priorities and what do we really care about. Knowing this, it ought to be way easier to adquire the right mindset, don’t you think? Let’s get into it.

What should we CARE about?

• The right objectives. Even though it’s difficult, you can’t lose your focus on what’s important. Your dream job or future, independently of how hard it is to get there. Learning about everything, being curious, cultured, smart. Getting high grades. Caring about the people you love. Your everyday motivation should be your own objectives.

• Having a high self-esteem. You should be aware of your worth. You’re intelligent, curious, beautiful, and while you mustn’t be egocentric or too self-centered, to feel at pace with the world you have to be comfortable with yourself.

• Doing the things we love, and the ones we don’t. Things that are worth our time are not always the most pleasent ones, but oh, how good they do to us! So spend your time being full of activities you think will be best for you, and try to become passionate about them.

• Our own mistakes. We are human! And not perfect. However, you can always see what you have failed in and transform it in a way of self-development. Reflect on your errors, so while other still have them, you get over them.

• Being on good terms with people and SOCIALIZING. You never know how can people be useful or needed in any moment. From my experience, I can guarantee that being nice to everyone creates the best unexpected contacts and brings you so many opportunities.

• Reading. I will make a post about this, there are INFINITE positive outcomes from this simple activity.

• Being AMBITIOUS. Dream big and make it your motivation. If you aim to touch the sky, I am confident you will.

What should we NOT care about?

• Comparison. To become the person you want to become, there is no one you should feel inferior to. You might be less experienced than some now, but not stupid, not unable, not ugly, not weak. The only one you should be comparing yourself is to your younger self, always looking forward to improvement. You will ADMIRE people, want to be like them, but never comparing those to your actual you, because you will always, ALWAYS be building on yourself.

• Childish dramas. It takes away so much of your time and energy, so in order to focus on what’s important, get rid of toxic people and CARE LESS about the unimportant things, the unneeded arguments and whatever doesn’t bring you peace.

• Other's opinions. It’s not cool reading? Make it trending! Who cares if people don’t like the way you dress, the way you act, the way you are. It is them who will fall behind. Stich to your principles and act good, if someone doesn’t like it make them change their minds.

• Definitions. ‘’To define is to limit’’ said the writer Oscar Wilde. You can not be defined by a simple word. You can be ANYTHING you dream of, you can have so many opposite qualities that you don’t fit in any category. Here, we are beauties with brains, but we are SO MUCH MORE.

Making clear your priorities, you can act the way you aim to and be whoever you want to become.
