Do It Today: Overcome Procrastination, Improve Productivity, and Achieve More Meaningful Things

3. Measuring Relationships
What you’ll find is that the more you contribute to other
people’s lives, the better your relationships will be as a
result. And that final ingredient completes the circle of life.
When you measure your relationships, only stick to yourself.
Avoid the biggest mistake most of us make: We look at what
others do for us. Otherwise, you risk that you start keeping
score.
“How people treat you is their karma; how you react is
yours.”
As the late Wayne Dyer said.
Instead of looking at how others treat you, measure how
much time and energy 
you
put into your relationships.
That’s the only thing you can control. My experience is that
when you make time for the people that matter to you, the
relationships improve. And if they do not, the relationship
was probably not meant to be. We simply have to move on.
The real lesson here is that we always must focus on what
we can control.
Our energy, our effort at work, and what we put into our
relationships — these are all things we control. It’s one of
the main lessons philosophers from all over the world and
from all ages tell us.
Look at your life. Make a quick assessment of how you feel.
All you have to do now is to improve it.

It seems like all my peers have this idea that being young is
an excuse for not living a satisfying life. But millennials are
not the only group of people who hide behind excuses. We
all do. I get it. Taking on responsibilities in life is scary. It’s
way cooler to have toast with avocado. But you know what’s
also cool?
Building a meaningful career that you’re proud of.
Contributing to other people’s lives.
Creating a product or service that is useful.
Investing your money for your retirement.
“Yeah, but I’m still young.” “There’s always tomorrow!”
C’mon. Stop hiding! What are you waiting for? To everyone
out there that doesn’t feel fulfilled, I have one idea that I
want to share:
