Be Curious
Being curious is a superpower. It usually means you develop good enquiry skills and learn to listen critically too.
It also makes you more interesting because you seem interested in learning more about the people around you and the things that are interesting to them.
So stop telling people about yourself and start asking others about their experiences.

Regret
As you grow older you’ll notice things you regret doing and not doing. You can’t change the past so you will need to accept these things or drive yourself crazy.
You do the best you can at any given moment with all the information that you have. Hindsight is lovely but it is not what you had in the moment.
Go easy on yourself. You are human. Not perfection. And go easier on others too, for the same reason.
Forgiveness and grace are very powerful tools.

Be Prepared
Some of you will know this as the Boy Scout motto. Some of you will remember it as a line from a film.
Either way, it makes sense.
When preparation meets opportunity, you may find your life taking off like a rocket. ????
Enjoy that moment and all the moments after that.
It’s amazing!

Appreciate The Process
It might not always make sense. For some, it might seem completely wrong. But once you’re involved and working through a matter, appreciate the process.

Make The Time To Plan
We think about what we would like but don’t commit actual time to write it down and do the hard mental work of figuring it all out.
We need a clear destination. This can shift and change later but we need something to focus on now. Then work backwards to see what you can do to achieve your goal.
Take a few hours and doodle some notes out, to consider, as the days progress.
If you won’t take five hours over the next seven days to plan your amazing future, then whatever you get will just have to do!

Set Boundaries
We all need some personal boundaries. We need to be clear what we are delighted with and what is not bringing us joy. Set your boundaries and see what happens.

Look At Your Written Goals Daily
First of all, you should have some near term and long term goals.
Secondly, you should have them written down very clearly and precisely.
Thirdly, you should look at these written goals a minimum of once per day.
Pro Move: Look at these goals 4 times per day and each time you do, read them aloud and then write them down at least once. Ideally 10 times.
This is one way to build your dream life.
If you’re committed.

Give Someone A Boost
Tell someone today that they are smart, fun, kind or hard working. You can say other kind things too.
Just make sure you tell at least one person today to help lift their spirits. Most people will say they are fine even when their whole world is turning on its head. Give them some specific compliment that they can hold onto all day. Sometimes that is all a person has to survive on.

Life Goes Quick
Life can seem to drag on during difficult or boring moments and yet speed passed the rest of the time.
Pay attention, because life goes quick. If you think about something too long, the opportunity can just disappear. Develop the skill of assessing and acting quickly.
You can do this on a daily basis when ordering food or a drink. When deciding to attend an event or not, you can get more practice in.
If you want to max everything out in life, then learn, develop, and master the skill of decision velocity.

Enjoy Comedy With Friends
Go to a club together, the Apollo, Comedy Store or Yuk Yuks. Wherever you go, enjoy it and laugh!
It’s a great way to decompress and enjoy life a little.
