Wow good question! 🤓
I used to believe that I need to plan everything to a T. However, over the years, I have come to realize how many circumstances are beyond my control. It's okay to plan but it's just as important to be flexible esp. in uncertain times. At least that's how I roll these days.
Wishing y'all a lovely new month ahead. I !HOPE that April will be kind to us all. 🎉
Good to be !ALIVE ✨
Cheers 🍷 !WINE
The perfect combo is to mix planning with adapting I believe :-)
Frankly none of the advices given to me, stick with me :-).
I tend to waiver very easily.

haha, lately I'm a bit the same...
Of course, change is part of the process. I used to be much more annoying and ignorant about things and people, but over time I realized I was wrong and that I needed to change, be more flexible, and be more accepting of things.
People are different, and that’s why they think differently from me, so I’ve learned to respect that more.
It's a big step to be aware that we should't look at the world only with our own filters and accept that others see things differently...
That's right, I've improved a lot over the years, and thank God I realized it in time.
Make a plan and stick with it... Flexibility is the key to surviving in business and your personal life. Life is change and growth, learn to adapt or die...
Without a plan we err around but if the plan leads to a wall, we need to learn to redraw the plan...
I have changed my mind about saving every cent of my money. We only live once. :)
Saving is good but we shouldn't forget to live :-)
I used to trust people's word, now I only believe in their actions.
!PIMP
It seems like to have become a new trend... people saying stuff but their words can't be trusted... When the politicians at the top are showing by example... it's not so surprising...
Nah, I don't think there's any more hypocrisy now. It’s a general human condition. But when we are young we have not had time to learn it. 😌
I used to believe in consistency. I believe it is still important sometimes, but overall in this world it is more important to be able to adapt quickly than to do more of the same.
I think we tend to mix consistency with routine and I believe that we need to remain adaptable and evolve with our time...
I used to believe that I would never retire. I enjoyed my work and didn't think I would want to do anything else. But now I'm...
Busy, busy, busy doing nothing
Good for you, congrats!
Enjoy your retirement!
Well it's great to see that you enjoy doing nothing :-)
I like to believe my plan everything attitude has changed and that I am more relaxed about it now.
Also, I more and more believe in "slow is beautiful" mantra and "take your time" approach. It wasn't so in my youth !LOLZ
!BEER
There is power in appreciating what we are doing and taking the slow approach...

I still very much believe it because we really need to have some plan in mail or else we will derail
I would say that without a plan, we have no map of where we want to go...
Believing what Hive whales tell you do is what they do. Then seeing them do different 🤣
So yes believe actions not words
Haha, yes do what I say but not what I do...
More is better, that's what I used to believe (think) anyway. But nah, less is more!
I also realized that. Sometimes less is much more...
I think one of the pieces of advice I used to consider as an absolute truth was "always follow your passion and the money will come by itself".
Over time, I realized that this isn't always practical.
I now understand that it is important to balance our passions with the reality of our responsibilities and needs.

!BBH
!PEPE
Following a passion where there is no market doesn't really work. We have to find the intersection between the two...
As @palomap3 already mentioned, I no longer believe in words; I only believe in actions.
Seems like a lot of people see it that way :-)
As young people we are idealists and we think well of everything. As you get older you discover the truth... and we have discovered ourselves! 👴🏻👵🏻😱🤣
In my case it is hard to remember such pieces of advice. Maybe IU'm to in a hurry but when I read this post I can't to remember. Or maybe I have good advisers)))🤞🤞🤞
It's not really about advise but what you though was true one day but that you consider differently today...
Maybe you're right and once I'll change my point of view and everything will seem vanity and not what it seems now. But right now, my life rhythm is apparently too intense to achieve this.
As I age, I become more cynical than I already am. So I believe almost nothing but MYSELF! 😜
Lol, make sure that cynicisme doesn't turn into bitterness ;-)
So many things....
One that is basically true : Study hard get a diploma and that will bring work opportunities.
So untrue I followed that and see that life is more complex than that :P
