Listen "My Life, My Rules"
Episode Synopsis
Neil shares his personal "Rune Laws" for life, a set of 14 guiding principles that have significantly impacted his journey in tutoring, teaching, and coaching. With a focus on practical advice and a no-nonsense approach, Neil emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with positive influences, pursuing happiness, and being self-reliant. He encourages listeners to explore their limits, practice gratitude, and continuously learn, all while staying true to their own values and goals.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Surround Yourself with Positive Influences: Avoid toxic people and instead, cultivate relationships with those who inspire and uplift you. Your future is influenced by the company you keep.
Pursue Happiness and Abundance: Engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfilment. Embrace a mindset of abundance and generosity, recognising that you have the right to enjoy life and share your blessings with others.
Be Proactive and Self-Reliant: Take charge of your own life and decisions. Relying on others can lead to dependency; instead, focus on being self-sufficient and driving your own path.
Commit to Continuous Learning: Never stop expanding your knowledge. Regularly read, listen to podcasts, or engage with experts to keep your mind sharp and informed.
Practice Gratitude and Self-Acceptance: Appreciate the opportunities you have each day and focus on being content with yourself. Strive to please yourself rather than seeking validation from others, and recognize the importance of gratitude in fostering a positive outlook on life.
BEST MOMENTS
"Don't deal with tossers. The people around you matter more than you think, and your future will be just like theirs."
"If all you do is stuff that makes you happy, your life will be better. Don't do the miserable making things."
"Be self-reliant. Don't count on other people to come through for you in the clinch, because nobody is coming to the rescue."
"Explore your limits and push them. Ask yourself every day, what am I actually capable of?"
"Practice gratitude. Be happy you're not dead. Today's a gift. Tomorrow is only a promise."
