Long-term success requires mastering the fundamentals of living life itself. We can’t try the tricks and tips of personal development unless we’ve already mastered the fundamentals. Success and happiness are all about the fundamentals.

Over the next week, I’ll be writing a series of three articles on the extreme fundamentals of self-improvement. The three fundamentals lead to a successful and happy life regardless of your career choice or goals. The three pillars are Reason, Purpose and Pride.

• Reason – Learn to think clearly, honestly, independently and coherently. This is the foundation of understanding your life’s purpose, understanding how to achieve it, and knowing exactly how to make choices in any and every area of your life.

• Purpose – Without a purpose, there’s simply no point to any action. Every action has a purpose. Make sure your purposes are big enough for you to achieve. Don’t hold back and shoot small; our life span is too small to live small.

• Pride – The “ego” is often referred to in a negative manner, with pride seen as the great evil. Humility is supposed to be desired, whether deserved or not. This is simply flawed; if one has done something worth being proud of, then one should be proud of that action.

In the next five articles we’ll be taking culture head on, learning exactly what it takes to become a success, what it takes to achieve happiness and what it takes to become the individual of your dreams. If you haven’t already subscribed, make sure to — you won’t want to miss the articles!
