Ask Questions
This is far more effective than mind reading alone!
Stretch Yourself
Find small ways to be a better person. Work on these a little every day. Keep going.
Reminisce
This will make you feel good. You’ll feel younger, though maybe a little nostalgic too.
Do this on your own, with a friend or a group of old friends. You’ll be glad you did.
Let People Know
If you like or love someone, let them know. Tell them so they can feel it now, not later when it’s too late.
Give It Your All
Every time.
Enjoy Every Minute!
That’s it.
Mind Reading
Do you do this often? You decide why someone did something. It could be your spouse, a political leader, your boss or your child, but you believe you know why they did something.
Your opinion, your guess, your assumption, is now fact, at least in your mind.
Just remember, this says more about you, than them. It tells us how you think and what is in the realm of what you might do.
Sometimes it is better if you don’t express your opinion of how you believe others think.
All Behaviour Makes Sense…
…With enough information.
This is a great line. I recently heard it while listening to Morgan Housel’s book, The Art of Spending Money. Brilliant book, as was his previous one.
If you zoom in on a behaviour, it might look irrational without the context. However, with enough information, usual patterns can appear, psychology and physiology can explain quite a few things and nature is more apparent.
If a behaviour you’ve witnessed doesn’t make sense to you, gather more information. Because all behaviour makes sense, with enough information.
Oh Well
This is what you say when you’ve had enough of someone or something.
No use crying over spilled milk. Oh well.
Praise When Due
If someone is doing something well, then praise is due. Don’t hold back. Let people know when they are doing a good job, the right thing or making a positive difference.
