It’s So Close
Everything is so close. Games, standings, awards, life.
Life is a game of inches. A hockey puck ricochets off the post in ice hockey. But because of the angle it sails wide rather than into the back of the net.
Be thankful when things go right and when they don’t go horribly wrong. Things can be so close and go either way. Be thankful.

Let Them Cook
To add a little extra to Mel Robbins’ latest book, we should let them cook. Let your kids show you what they can do. Let your employees do their thing.
Let people play out their game before you jump in all judgey with complaints and comments.
You don’t run into the kitchen at your favourite restaurant and criticise the half made soup or partly cooked main. Let people do the full cook before you jump on your judgey wagon and explain how they did it all wrong in your (often less experienced) eyes.
If You Could Do Anything
What would you do?
Write it down quickly.
Make a brief plan.
Start making it happen today. First step first.
Go!
Let’s See What Happens
This is interesting. Let’s see what happens. This is a great way to approach any event, words or situations.
Unless you have control of the situation, observe.
Find Your People
Find the people that uplift you and challenge you to be the best version of yourself. Surround yourself with people that will stretch you and encourage you to do the work on yourself and maintain the discipline required to succeed in your preferred field.
Find good people, not easy people. Look for those people that will call you out on your pity party nonsense. Don’t find an easy crowd, go where the stakes are high and the challenges stretch you every day.
Say Yes
Yes opens doors. Yes is a positive feeling.
Yes is powerful.
Results Or Distraction?
What do you focus on? How do you plan your day? Do you let diversions or drama interfere with your discipline?
The more results you achieve in a day, the faster you’ll grow your business. The more distractions you allow in your day, slows your business down, costs you more and weakens your brand and your reputation.
Use time wisely. Stack the results!
Exciting Times
Every day is exciting! You’re alive!
Move fast and make the most of it.
Save The Date
As with the previous planning post, you need to take the action and Save The Date.
Book things into your calendar. Save The Date so you don’t lose it to something less important. Do it quickly and confidently.
