The next lesson I will briefly share today is easier said than practiced. So how does one become so content with his life that he's never bothered by how fast everyone else is racing in life? The interplay of various factors, including upbringing, affects how one lives his adult life. Thankfully, I grew up in a loving and supportive family. Although my parents are both disciplinarians, my parents never made me feel that I needed to do anything to be loved; I was loved unconditionally. And now that I'm older, I can say that I have so much love in me and around me that I wouldn't wish I lived someone else's life, no matter how lavish it may be. I may not have a perfect life but I'm content.

When was the last time you were genuinely happy and proud of a friend's, a relative's, or a co-worker's accomplishments? If you're one of the many I'd randomly message: "I'm proud of you!" , "You are an inspiration!", "Keep shining!" know that I'm truly proud and rooting for you. I want everyone I know to succeed. I want everyone I train to be trainers themselves one day. I want to pass on my learnings for what good my knowledge will be when I rot in my grave.

When we spend our days comparing our lives with those of others, the most important moments slip through our fingers like water - unstoppable, irreversible.

The lesson? For parents and soon-to-be parents, love your kids like they're the only thing that matters in this world. My parents' love reminds me I am enough.
