Key idea 1 of 5
Take responsibility for your life.
Let’s face the facts: you’re only in control of so much in your life – everything else is determined by external forces. The One More lifestyle begins with focusing on the things you can influence. So eliminate the worries of these external forces and think positively.
Gaining resilience and self-confidence and really believing in yourself might require a complete change in mindset – a reevaluation of your identity. And that’s because many people use temporary setbacks as an excuse for quitting or accepting failures. That’s not a good idea because repeated thoughts influence who you are.
After all, this is how your brain works: for something to become important, it takes repeated thought and visualization. To make a difference, you have to plant the right seeds.
If you’re constantly thinking negatively about yourself, you’re not going to see the right results. But If you take responsibility for your mindset, you’ll see more opportunities and better results because you replace that fear with confidence.

Great app. Good selection of book summaries you can read or listen to while commuting. Instead of scrolling through your social media news feed, this is a much better way to spend your spare time in my opinion.
