The PMA Effect

by John Joseph

It all begins with the attitude you walk around with, the energy you put out in the world. Because it will attract a particular type of energy back to your life.

Bottom line is, you can’t please everyone, so don’t even try. Just go about your business, stick to your morals, and stay honest in all your dealings.

empty barrels make the most noise.

you have to set goals. You can’t float aimlessly through life.

By saving energy for me time, no matter what that is—swimming, yoga, running, playing music, meditating—you’ll put yourself in the best possible state both mentally and physically to deal with challenges when they arise.

Playing the victim ultimately means we can sidestep our own shortcomings while we focus on our suffering and the faults of others. And that means we don’t have to fix our shit.

“Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habit. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.”

Don’t think you can go it alone in life. You can’t. The pressures of the day-to-day bullshit will snap you like a twig. Develop friendships and work in teams.
