Table of Contents
Surround yourself with positive people
It is an undeniable truth that – “A man is known by the company he keeps.” So it becomes essential for us to be surrounded by people who will inculcate a spirit of positivity, optimism, and hope within us. This will eventually be instrumental in elevating our vibe. When our vibes get elevated, we begin to adopt the rightful thinking patterns and our outlook toward life gets brighter. This lesson of the book also stresses upon building meaningful relationships as they will heighten the quality of our lives.
Stay clear of gossip and drama
In this chapter, Vex King mentioned Ayurveda, the Indian Medical System, which tells that gossiping affects some of our energy centers, known as chakras. He further tells the readers that it is really important to keep a distance from gossip. When we indulge in gossip, we invite utter disillusionment into our lives.
Vex King further states that inviting drama into our lives will bring with it excess stress and anxiety. So this chapter guides the readers to maintain a fair distance from all the existing gossip and drama as it will ultimately lower our vibrations.
Make yourself a priority
In this fast-moving world, we often get so busy seeking validation from others that we completely forget to prioritize ourselves. Through this chapter, Vex King wants to remind us that a human being’s longest relationship in life is with himself/herself first. So, he/she must cut all the toxic relationships and prioritize himself/ herself first. Prioritizing ourselves will provide enough room for introspection, healing, and growth. We as humans must prioritize our own selves first so as to become the best version of ourselves.
Choose real friendships
It is aptly said – “Friends are the family we choose.” Friends are undoubtedly an integral part of our lives. In this chapter, Vex King reminds the readers that their true friends will always want the best for them. And if the situation is the other way round, then the friendship is certainly not a real one. This chapter serves as a crucial reminder to outgrow certain friends who refuse to add value to our lives.
Vex King also advocates the “less is more” philosophy in this chapter. He says that even if someone has a lesser number of friends, it does not matter until they are genuine and have no feelings of prejudice and jealousy.
Do not try to please everyone
In this chapter, Vex King exposes the harsh truth of living in a judgemental community. This chapter explains that it is absolutely impossible to please everyone and one should not even try to do the same as it will only add extra pressure and yield nothing fruitful. This chapter also states the importance of prioritizing our own self because a human can never be able to satisfy everyone. So, it becomes necessary for all of us to indulge in self-care as that will be beneficial for growth.
Acceptance
In this book, Vex King urges the readers to follow the path of self-acceptance. He clearly states that perfection is a subjective idea and it can vary from person to person. It is crucial for all of us to accept ourselves as our vibrations will only rise when we appreciate and acknowledge our own selves first. Just Remember what George Orwell said -“Happiness can exist only in acceptance.” Therefore, we must learn to embrace our imperfections and feel proud of how far we have come. Only then we will be able to live fully, freely, and happily.
Compare with only yourself
This chapter gives a very essential reminder to its readers that comparison is the governing factor of our sadness, especially in this fast-moving world. When we compare ourselves with others, we refuse to appreciate the things we have at present. Our comparison should be with ourselves only. Our focus should always be on bettering ourselves first. As Vex King aptly wrote in this chapter – “Competing with others encourages bitterness, not betterment.”
Respect your uniqueness
In this fast-moving world where social media is used by many of us to validate our existence, we have completely forgotten to respect our uniqueness. Our uniqueness should be given priority as only then we will be able to carve a niche for ourselves in this world. The author wants the readers to understand that life and people will always test us, but we have to form our own determined vision so that we do not lose our uniqueness.
Vex Kings mentions that just as a tiger doesn’t lose sleep over the opinion of sheep, similarly we must try to not let society define our thoughts, actions, and behavior. Only then we will be able to accept and appreciate ourselves.
Replace fear with faith
Our lives can transform in a great deal if we learn to replace fear with faith. Choosing the path of faith will bring us to a world of optimism. But if we choose the path of fear, only negativity will surround us. Fear will be the ultimate deterrent to achieving our goals. So, Vex King urges well of us to explore the world of faith as it can help in enriching the quality of one’s life. This lesson is a very important one because if we want to live an empowered life, we must never let our fears create any sort of hurdle.
Realize the higher purpose – the inner calling
This chapter is an eye-opening reminder that every one of us comes with a purpose in life. This purpose adds meaning and value to our lives. We must realize the purpose of our existence so that we can lead contented, empowering, and fruitful lives.
"Life is greater if you live with purpose. When you find a meaningful reason for doing what you do, you will feel complete." - Vex King
These lines also present the idea that only when we realize our inner calling, we achieve satisfaction and completeness.
These are the ten most enlightening and empowering chapters of this book. Also, this whole book is replete with many poignant life lessons. This self-help manual should be read by everyone to raise their vibrations and to successfully live a peaceful and empowered life.
