How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life
by Lilly Singh
it took me more than one month to read but it was amazing really like it ... reading any chapter can help you some how ... thanks for this great book
how to be a bawse ...
part 1 . master your mind
1) play nintendo
A Bawse understands that there are many things in life you have no control over and it is inefficient to become frustrated by that reality
“IF YOU CAN’T CONTROL PEOPLE, THEN CONTROL YOUR REACTION TO THEM. IF YOU CAN’T CONTROL A SITUATION, THEN PREPARE FOR IT
work with what’s in your control.
You get frustrated when your parents nag you, so every time they do, you storm out of the room. You can’t control your parents, so stop trying. Instead, use that energy to control your reaction the next time they nag you
2)conquer your thoughts :
What does conquering your thoughts mean? First, it means you get to wear an awesome warrior costume, it means understanding why you feel the way you feel, what prompts you to carry out certain actions, what causes specific reactions, and what circumstances lead you to make regrettable decisions. Once you discover all the ins and outs of your mind, you basically have the cheat code to your game of life.
CODE ONE when people do or say hurtful things to you, there’s a chance they may actually be upset about something else in their life
CODE TWO sometimes when you hear other opinions you’ll feel pressured to change your own. Before you enter into situations in which you will be confronted with a lot of opinions, make sure you strongly believe your own
CODE THREE: Your happiness is stronger than fear
From now on start asking yourself WHY you feel a certain way, WHAT made you perform a certain action, and HOW you could do things differently
3) be secretively
“The more details people know about you, the weaker you become
don’t give away all your secrets or reveal all your vulnerabilities. Don’t trick yourself into believing that you are obligated to share everything with everyone. It’s up to you to decide what to reveal and when
4)be uncomfortable
Everything you want is just outside your comfort zone
“YOU HAVE TO SEEK OUT SITUATIONS THAT MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE AND THEN THROW YOURSELF INTO THEM
THINK OF DISCOMFORT AS CURRENCY–IT’S THE PRICE YOU PAY TO LEARN SOME PRETTY CRUCIAL THINGS
Remember, on the path to success, fear and discomfort are only speed bumps. Don’t make them dead ends
5)block out emotions :
Sometimes you have to block out distracting emotions in order to get things done, especially if other team members are relying on you
“WHEN YOU NEED TO GET YOUR HUSTLE ON, BE DRIVEN BY GOALS, NOT EMOTIONS
Heartache is good. These things provide you with knowledge that will help you grow and deal with future struggles. To waste a painful moment and let emotion overwhelm you so much that you gain absolutely no insight is to get hurt inefficiently
6)stop over thinking :
Overthinking is a natural enemy of efficiency because it prevents us from getting things done. A Bawse should know when to take the time to think something through and when to simply make a quick decision
Humans have a tendency to overcomplicate simple things because we overthink them. But if you take a step back and remember your priorities, it becomes easier to make a decision.
7)call yourself out :
. There seems to be this misconception that making mistakes makes you weak, or stupid, or somehow less of a person, but the truth is, making mistakes brings you one step closer to success
4ways to learn from your mistake and overcome them
1- TAKE OWNERSHIP
2- CALL YOURSELF OUT :
. You should want to identify the cause of your mistake so that you can understand how to prevent it
“MISTAKES DON’T EXIST JUST TO MAKE US FEEL BAD ABOUT OURSELVES; THEY ARE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE SHOULD NOT IGNORE OR SHY AWAY FROM
3- FIND SOLUTIONS
4- COMMUNICATE
When you have the guts to make mistakes, great things happen. And when you have the integrity to take ownership of those mistakes, the people around you will take notice
When you have the guts to make mistakes, great things happen. And when you have the integrity to take ownership of those mistakes, the people around you will take notice
Life is like one giant YouTube video: it’s amazing to experience, but when too many things are happening at once, you begin to lag. You try waiting it out, but sure enough, the lagging just gets worse and worse.
You’ll never truly know if you can accomplish something or be great at something if you don’t commit. In other words, if you’ve ever tried 70 percent at something and failed, you didn’t give yourself a fair chance at success. You crippled yourself in your own race
I envision myself stripping away a layer of fear and uncovering the complete fearlessness below. Literally, I go through the motions of taking off an imaginary jacket made of fear. This motion also doubles as the Macarena, so congrats, you’re now a dancer
The only way to overcome FOMO is to recognize that the joy of accomplishing goals is much greater than the disappointment of missing out on a little fun. Parties are fun in the short term, but fulfilling your goals will bring you greater happiness in the long term
“INSPIRATION IS THE FUEL FOR YOUR HUSTLE

“A BAWSE DOESN’T JUST KNOW WHAT THEY WANT FOR CHRISTMAS; THEY KNOW WHAT THEY WANT FROM LIFE
Here are three reasons you should have a vision board
Creating a vision board helps you to be self-aware, which, it goes without saying, is a key Bawse quality
A vision board allows you to be constantly reminded of what you want in life
Creating a vision board gives you clarity about what your goals are
“THE UNIVERSE MIGHT RESPECT THE LAW OF ATTRACTION, BUT IT RESPECTS A GOOD HUSTLE EVEN MORE
See it, believe it, achieve it.”
“DON’T GIVE UP BEFORE YOU EVEN TRY
A BAWSE KNOWS THAT IF YOU WANT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY, YOU NEED TO SHOW PEOPLE WHO YOU ARE, AND THEN KEEP SHOWING THEM
words lie and actions speak the truth
“WHATEVER YOU’RE DOING IN LIFE, WHETHER YOU’RE A DOCTOR, PAINTER, STUDENT, OR LEMONADE STAND OWNER, IT’S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE GAME SO THAT YOU CAN EXCEL AT PLAYING IT
MANY SITUATIONS IN LIFE REQUIRE US TO CLIMB AN INVISIBLE LADDER, AND IT’S NOT USUALLY AN EASY CLIMB. YOUR HAVE TO EARN EACH RUNG
But when you climb the ladder you learn lessons, build character, and earn knowledge. The worst thing you can do is act entitled when you are at the bottom of the ladder, refusing to get sweaty. It doesn’t work like that
Gimmicks and shortcuts aren’t the best materials to build with. All it takes is one strong wind to knock it all down
“DOING WORK ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR LUCK
As you can imagine, creating deadlines takes a huge amount of self-control, and that’s why sometimes you have to force them upon yourself
“YOU CAN’T BANK YOUR ENTIRE SUCCESS ON ONE ACHIEVEMENT. YOUR SUCCESS SHOULDN’T WALK ON STILTS
A Bawse cannot walk the walk if the ground is crumbling beneath them. You need to strengthen your empire
Here’s the thing, though. There is no correct way of living life. Similarly, there’s no one path that leads to success. A Bawse knows that there are many different pathways to every destination in life, and just because you’ve only been given one set of directions, that doesn’t mean ten other roads don’t all lead to the same place
You’re standing in the middle of a blank piece of paper. Unleash your inner architect and design your path to success.
Making small changes in order to live a healthier lifestyle can make a big difference. Here are a few ideas
STRETCH IN THE MORNINGS
DON’T TAKE THE EASY WAY
DON’T BE SO HARD ON YOURSEL
DRINK WATER
“I KNOW THE QUOTE GOES, ‘WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES ANOTHER OPENS.’ BUT WHY DIDN’T ANYONE EVER TRY OPENING THE CLOSED DOOR
A Bawse doesn’t blend into a crowd—they stand out
A Bawse knows that if they’re going to feel validated, it should happen only when they accomplish goals or contribute to society.
Being the dumbest person on your team doesn’t make you a stupid person; it means you’re smart enough to select people to work with that you can learn from
if you don’t understand something, ask questions until you do understand it
“WHO IS DUMBER, THE PERSON WHO PRETENDS THEY KNOW EVERYTHING, OR THE PERSON WHO DOESN’T AND ASKS QUESTIONS
People always say that if you’re the smartest person in the room, then you’re in the wrong room. Looking around, I can definitely say that I’m absolutely in the correct room, because you’re all so talented and inspirational
. Being a Bawse isn’t always about being the best; it’s about placing yourself in the best situations
You are revolutionary. You have amazing ideas. You have the ability to create, to change, to solve, and to influence. Don’t sell yourself short by not spending your time, energy, and money on creating the best version of yourself
impress people beyond that first encounter
1- SMILE FOR A REASON
2- LISTEN TO UNDERSTAND
3- DON’T BE ROBOTI
4- LIVE IN THE MOMENT
5- BE CONFIDENT : DRESS COMFORTABLY - POWER POSES - LISTEN TO YOUR JAMS - SPEAK IN STATEMENTS
“Say what you mean, but don’t say it mean.
There is no wrong or right. There’s just different.”
It’s a beautiful thing to have complete self-acceptance. Nothing to prove, nothing to hide. You are who you are, and you should be damn proud, like a BAWSE
You’re a Bawse now, and you need to spend less energy stalking your ex on Instagram and more energy making phenomenal first impressions
“YOU SHOULD BE SAD ABOUT MISSING SOMEONE AND BEING HURT, BUT YOU SHOULD NOT BE SAD BECAUSE YOU BELIVE THAT PERSON WAS RIGHT FOR YOU. I’M 99 PERCENT CERTAIN THEY WERE NOT
In most cases, when we miss someone who hurt us, it isn’t really because they were right for us; it’s that they were familiar to us and represented a certain ideal. It’s our attachment to an idealized relationship that is hard to let go of.
“YOU KNOW WHO IS RIGHT FOR YOU? THE PERSON WHO IS EVERYTHING YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR EX, EXCEPT FOR THE PART THAT HURT YOU
You’re a human being and you’re a product of your environment. So what does that mean? That means you better create an environment where Bawses thrive
FIVE WAYS to Create a Bawse Environment:
a- CHOOSE A FACEBOOK, Twitter, and/or email password that is an affirmation or important reminde
b- CHANGE YOUR RINGTONE and/or text tone to a song that makes you feel happy
c- CERTAIN COLORS can make us feel certain emotions, and we can use this to our benefit
It is your job, solely yours, to create the best possible environment for yourself. It’s not your parents’ job, your boyfriend’s job, or your teacher’s job. It’s your life, your goals, your ambitions, and therefore your task.
The goal is to train your brain to think positively. Once all the positives cancel out all the negatives, there will be more space in your brain for magical creations
Your wiring is not basic, and you shouldn’t be either
Knowing that there will always be a bigger Bawse one rung above you is a great way to keep yourself grounded, no matter how high you climb
. I believe that everything I have is the result of my hard work, dedication, and perseverance, but first and foremost, I know everything I have is through the grace of God. When my blessings reached God’s doorstep, God signed off on the permission slip, and for that I am grateful
“THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A HIGHER POWER THAT CAN THROW YOU OFF THE LADDER AT ANY TIME
Piggyback rides are cute in pictures but not in real life. It’s important to know the difference between supporting people and giving them a free ride
A Bawse knows that values need to be upheld even during the most difficult and stressful situations
Here are two ways to take your values to the gym
PERSONAL MANIFEST / RECITE
figuring out your values actually matters. You’re not trying to solve for the value of x or y; instead, you’re trying to solve for a meaningful life
“NOT BEING NICE IS LIKE POISONING YOURSELF WITH BAD VIBES
let me give you three reasons why it’s essential to be nice to people if you want to be a successful person
I CAN ASSURE YOU that every successful person you idolize has a team working behind them that they communicate with on a daily basis
SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE understand the importance of positivity
IN MOST SITUATIONS IN LIFE, PEOPLE will provide you with opportunities
You should treat niceness like a task on your daily to-do list and give it as much importance as everything else
“PROMOTING WHAT YOU LOVE RESULTS IN SEEING MORE OF WHAT YOU LOVE IN THE WORLD
“IF I WAS GOING TO LET MY PASSION GET THE BEST OF ME, THEN I HAD BETTER USE THAT PASSION TO ALSO PROMOTE WHAT I LOVE
it’s important to recognize the difference between bashing what you hate and coming up with a solution. It’s never fruitful to simply hate on something; you also have to try to fix
After all, you cannot control all the things you dislike on the planet; the best you can do is inject more of what you do love into the atmosphere
a real Bawse not only recognizes this but understands how important it is to be grateful and appreciate things
One of the ways that I’ve been teaching myself to be more grateful is to CALL OUT ALL THE SIMPLE THINGS I usually overlook, saying them out loud
If you’re just starting out in your career, getting into a new relationship, or beginning a new chapter in your life, it’s important to PAUSE FOR A MOMENT AND REFLECT on what reaching this milestone means to you
There’s a lot of horrible things happening in the world, and to deal with it you have two choices. You can pretend it doesn’t exist and be numb to it. You can probably do this and live a long, happy life and still feel like a good person. Or you can recognize that you won the lottery with your privilege and do something with your winnings
