10 BOLD TRUTHS

The 10 Bold Truths: A Guide to Living with Purpose

Life is precious, and how we navigate it is largely within our control. In this special 10-part series, we’re diving into The 10 Bold Truths—principles that, when embraced, can transform your perspective and ultimately, your life. Let’s get started!

1. Happiness is a Choice

Happiness is not a result of circumstances; it’s a decision. Life is too short to waste being unhappy. Happiness is grounded in the belief that things will work out over time—because they usually do. Three key aspects contribute to happiness:

• How you feel about circumstances: Find the positive in every situation.
• How you feel over time: Maintain a hopeful outlook for the future.
• How you feel about your life: A sense of contribution to society is critical for long-term happiness.

2. Life Is an Inside Job

Our thoughts shape our external reality. Be mindful not to compare your inner struggles with someone else’s outward appearance. Social media often showcases the highlight reels of others’ lives, but remember—nobody’s life is perfect. Who you are is enough. Focus on self-improvement to enhance your experience of life.

3. What You Focus on Expands

Whatever you give your attention to will grow. If you prioritize building stronger relationships, for example, dedicating time to loved ones will enhance those bonds. Apply this principle to any area of life - career, health, finances and watch it flourish.

4. The Path Is in the Math

Life is full of equations. Whether it’s health, wealth, or success, there is a formula for achieving your goals. Saving consistently leads to financial stability. Eating right and exercising lead to better health. Understanding that math underpins success helps us make strategic, calculated decisions.

5. There Is No Try

You either do or you don’t. The word “try” often signals a lack of commitment. Instead of saying, "I'll try to do something," decide whether you will or won’t - and follow through with action.

6. Life Is Not Fair

From a young age, we learn that fairness is not guaranteed. Accepting this truth makes it easier to move forward and take control of your own success. Instead of expecting fairness, focus on what you can do despite life’s challenges.

7. You Fail Your Way to Success

Failure is an inevitable and necessary part of growth. Every successful person has failed along the way. The key is to fail fast, learn from mistakes, and keep moving forward.

8. Where Belief Lives, Fear Can’t

Fear and belief cannot coexist. If you believe in yourself and your goals, fear will have no place in your mind. Confidence and conviction will drive you past obstacles and closer to success.

9. No One Succeeds Alone

Success is a team effort. Whether in business, personal growth, or life in general, surrounding yourself with supportive, like-minded individuals is crucial. Mentorship, collaboration, and teamwork pave the way to greater achievements.

10. Love Is Always the Answer

At the core of everything we do, love is the ultimate motivation. Love for yourself, love for your family, love for your purpose—it all matters. When faced with challenges, return to love as your guiding force.
