9 life lessons from Anthony Hopkins, to reflect on your life path and check if it's aligned with your higher purpose
Made by Rubén García (@rubengp)

Have you ever thought about the life lessons you'd like to leave like a legacy for those who outlive you?

It's a great topic to reflect on, unless you're one of those people who simply allows life to roll over you every day. Just to think how the day went off without actually realizing what happened. It's probably also something that is largely linked to age or other life circumstances. As you get older, you may see more sense in such reflection.

Probably much more so than when you are starting your 20s.

Anthony Hopkins' 9 life lessons

Oftentimes, you just don't know where to start. So many possibilities... Reading or listening to someone else's ideas or proposals is a great starter for your own reflection. You don't have to agree with all of their ideas.

Those disagreements will push you more to contrast them with your own ones and encourage your own reflection.

In a short video I came across recently, Anthony states it took him 10 years to learn this (only 10?, this seems to me like a whole life journey..), but he's willing to teach you them in less than a minute:

1️⃣ Life waits for nobody. Get up every day and keep it pushing through, no matter what.

2️⃣ Make sure you take good care of yourself. If something happens to you, the world will move on, and you will fall behind.

3️⃣ If you don't work to build your dream life, someone will hire you to build theirs.

4️⃣ Work in silence, celebrae in private; people love to ruin things.

5️⃣ Don't regret your past, just learn from it and move on.

7️⃣ No one cares, work harder to become better each day.

8️⃣ Ignore advise from anyyone who doesn't live the life you want to live.

9️⃣ Rule over your emotions: a calm mind can handle any situation.

And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about. ―Haruki Murakami
