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.

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.

Tolerance
It’s a good ability to have. Eventually you need this in life, whether it’s at work, school, parenting or even on holiday. Build this skill and you will be stronger than most.

Act Quickly
Some say, “Strike while the iron is hot” and it means a similar thing to act quickly. The idea is that you need to take action immediately when the moment strikes you.
Even if it’s a small thing to do, like a diary entry, a phone call, looking something up online or changing your clothes (for a run or workout), you should do it.
Get that first step started and you instantly gain momentum. This makes it easier and more likely that you will carry this idea forward.
In the end, that is the important part. Get Started. Get going. Keep going.

Tidy
A tidy room, space, house, or office looks great and is very efficient. If you work at it daily for a few minutes, it becomes a great habit that pays dividends in calm and your ability to find what you’re looking for.
Keeping the mess, or weeds in a garden, at bay is important. Like anything in life, you’re either growing or shrinking, pruning back or being taken over by the the things growing around you.
