It is better to admit you walked through the wrong door than to spend your life in the wrong room


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I saw a LinkedIn post by Jade Bonacolta from a couple months ago which had a list of excellent aphorisms worth quoting from Colby Kultgen titled 20 Sentences in 60 Seconds That Will Change Your Life:

 

 1]  Your new self will cost your old self.

 2] Ambition without action becomes anxiety.

 3] You get 4,000 weeks if you’re lucky – stop waiting.

 4] The most dangerous addiction is the approval of other people.

 5] You teach people how to treat you by what you tolerate.

 6] Your worth isn’t tied to your productivity.

 7] ‘No’ is a complete sentence – you don’t have to justify yourself.

 8] The people who matter won’t leave you for having boundaries.

 9] ‘The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.’

10] Reach out to people just because they crossed your mind.

11] Vera Wang designed her first dress at age 40 – it’s never too late to start.

12] If it costs you your peace, it’s too expensive.

13] Discipline is choosing what you want most over what you want now.

14] Action creates motivation – not the other way around.

15] Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from.

16] Fear doesn’t stop death – it stops life.

17] Notice the people who bring out your favorite version of yourself.

18] Be addicted to your passions, not your distractions.

19] If it’s out of your control, it deserves to be out of your mind.

20] It’s better to admit you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room.

 

The twentieth also appeared as a sign on a post in the Public Speaking Group by Tony DeMeo.
