Book: "The way of the superior man".

How many times we think things like: "I would really like to start exercising, but now I do not have enough time, I have a job that consumes many hours of my day and it is impossible to start now, maybe when I have more time available I will start doing it", or "I would start that project, but I still do not have enough skills and surely it will not work, I will study more and then I will carry it out", sadly in many occasions that imaginary future never comes and our life ends without doing many of the activities that at some point we wanted to do.

These are some of the ideas that this book gives us:

- Stop waiting for everything to be different someday:

If you have an idea start now, if you think about starting to exercise do it now, if you want to start studying a university career but still don't have the resources start learning on your own, because most likely if you don't start taking the first steps you will NEVER do it.

Many people today are unhappy with their jobs, but hope that someday conditions will change so they can make the decision to look for a new direction. Some will say that it is not easy when there are responsibilities, that the most sensible thing is to wait to save more money; surely this argument is valid if you have some financial and family obligations, since you can not leave everything adrift, but if you really intend to change your life you can start by devoting at least one hour a day to study or work on that project you want so much. Keep in mind that if you don't start now you will most likely never do it, since that future in which you imagine yourself with more money, less stress and doing all the things you dream of, is just a fantasy. Procrastinating reveals a lack of discipline. Remember that little money and family obligations never stop the one who has the true intention of getting things done.

- Live as if your father had died:

You don't have to be a continuation of someone else's life. Sometimes we can make the wrong decisions to meet the expectations of our parents or family members. Not because your father or a close relative has a profession you have to follow the same path; you can listen to other people's opinions, but you are the one who makes your own decisions.

If you have children, you should not influence them to carry out those things that you could not achieve, since they should also have the autonomy to choose their own decisions and choose their own destiny.

- Your purpose must come before your relationship:

We must admit to ourselves that if we had to choose between the perfect intimate relationship or achieving our higher purpose in life, we would choose to achieve our purpose.

Many of us at some point have made the mistake of putting our relationship above everything else. We believe that our partner will be more attracted to us if we shirk some responsibilities to spend more time with them, but this is not true, doing this only denotes a lack of direction in our life to carry out our mission and will cause our partner to lose attraction and pull away. The next time you realize that you are giving in to your partner, postponing your mission or denying your true purpose to spend time with her, stop, tell her that you love her but you can't deny your purpose, that you will dedicate a few hours a week to strengthen your relationship, but that most of your time will be dedicated to carrying out those tasks that are important to you. A superior man is one who enjoys a relationship in which his partner strengthens it, but understands that his life purpose must be the one that governs his decisions and actions.

Discovering what our true purpose is is not an easy task, sometimes you will go through periods where you will not know what to do with your life. Surely at a given moment you will feel the inclination to dedicate yourself to some profession, you will exercise it for some years and then you will no longer feel the same enthusiasm; that will be the moment to look for a new purpose. It may take several years before you find your deepest purpose, but the most important thing is that you commit yourself to carrying out each of the activities you do to the best of your ability. Not having found something that interests you deeply will not be an excuse for you to waste your time in activities that do not add value to your personal or professional growth.
