How to Live Your Best Life

4 Steps to Taking Control of Your Destiny

I know it's been a while since I last wrote, but I wanted to take a moment to update you on what I've been up to.

In the past month, I've been focused on learning and growing. I've been reading books, and attending workshops. I've also been working on my software company, which I recently registered in Rwanda.

These weeks have been filled with failures and successes. But through it all, I've learned a few important things that I want to share with you, in no particular order.

First, make big bold steps even if you're not 100% sure where they will land you.

I've always been a bit of a risk-taker. I've never been afraid to try new things, even if I wasn't sure if they would work out. And it's this willingness to take risks that has helped me achieve some of my most significant goals.

So, if you're feeling stuck, I encourage you to take a BIG BOLD step. It doesn't have to be anything major. Just something that will get you out of your comfort zone and force you to grow.

For example, I recently decided to register my software company in Rwanda. For me, that was a risk. Venturing into a new market. As a learner.

It was a leap of faith, but it paid off. I've already made some great connections in Rwanda, and I'm excited to see what the future holds for my company.

So don't be afraid to take risks. The worst that can happen is that you fail. But even if you fail, you'll learn something from the experience. And you'll be one step closer to achieving your goals.

Second, take as much intelligent and calculated risk as you can if you're in your late teens, or early to mid-twenties.

This is the time in your life when you have the least to lose and the most to gain. So don't be afraid to take risks. Start your own business, travel the world, or learn a new skill. The possibilities are endless.

And what is the worst thing that could happen? Death? No, I didn’t think so either.

So if you're in your late teens or early twenties, I encourage you to take some risks. You won't regret it.

Third, constantly question the things you already know/have been told about how things work and the way they do.

One of the best ways to learn is to be doubtful. When you question the status quo, you open yourself up to new possibilities. You also force yourself to think critically and come up with your own solutions.

For example, I used to believe that the only way to be successful was to go to college and get a good job. But then I started to question that belief. I started to think about all the successful people who didn't go to college. And I realized that there was more than one way to be successful.

So I encourage you to question the things you already know. Don't be afraid to think outside the box. You might be surprised at what you discover.

Fourth, eliminate people, places, practices, beliefs and routines that do not serve you.

Success is just as much about what you don't do as it is about what you do. So it's important to eliminate the things in your life that are holding you back.

This could mean cutting ties with toxic people, avoiding negative environments, or breaking bad habits. Whatever it is, make sure you're surrounding yourself with positive people and influences.

All in all, try as much as possible to do the right things each day. If you do the right thing everyday you will eventually end up in the right place.

These are not entirely new things you have not heard about before. I was just reminding you, and I am glad you found this helpful.
