13. Keep your eyes off the mirror.
“The entire world, with one minor exception, is composed of other people.”
You will never be great if you cannot take your eyes off the mirror and serve others with dignity.
“Success is not what you gain for yourself in life but what you do for others.”
Continually focusing on yourself will drain your energy while focusing on others will give you energy. Serving others will make you more healthy, psychologically balance and emotionally content.
To apply this principle: Forget about trying to find happiness by attending to your own needs first. Ask what you can do to forget about yourself and focus on others. Set your needs aside and do something specific today to meet the needs of someone else.
