Working Hard
Working hard, with purpose, feels great. Every day.
Even if you’re putting in 10, 14 or 16 hour days for many days in a row, you will appreciate the feeling.
It’s The End Of The World As We Know It
(And I feel fine).
Thank you R.E.M.
I always liked the song title even though I didn’t really understand the point of the lyrics.
I guess it’s all about resilience in the face of seemingly catastrophic circumstances. Chin up confidence and a readiness to take on the world might be all you have to your name. But then, it’s all you really need.
Your Private Thoughts
Often your private thoughts should stay that way. Write them down or say them out loud and you may invite unwanted attention.
However, the only way for the world to know what is going on inside your head is to communicate.
And the world is better off with more communication than less: especially the honest kind.
Make The Call
If you really should be speaking to someone, then make the call !!
Your mother, brother, sister, friends, parents, child, investor, old school teacher, and others, will appreciate it.
Be Conservative
Flashy is fine occasionally, but you are better off being conservative in most aspects of life.
Simplicity
The height of sophistication.
Find Calm
Enjoy it.
Positive Plans
Positive planning is a great way to create momentum in the direction you want to go. Planning out how you’re getting from here to where you want to be is so much more powerful than saying what you don’t want.
If you focus on what you don’t want, you’re likely to get some or all of it just by referencing it and bringing it toward you. I wouldn’t do that.
Focus on what you absolutely want. Make positive plans to get it. Write out those plans. Work towards that plan every day.
Detours And Disappointment
Not all detours lead to disappointment. Often, where the detour leads and how it makes you feel, is a function of how you see the world.
If you believe everything is unfolding to a master plan, then you accept that this is how it will go. If you believe you have much more personal control over things, you will be more concerned when things don’t go the way you had planned.
Which way do you think?
Stay Fit
This is an important life hack. Being fit as a child helps you to be able to participate in more things. It is also good for self-esteem.
Later in life, staying fit is helpful in reducing stress and finding and keeping a love interest.
In the greying years, staying fit helps to keep you healthier and remain a lower fall risk for longer. Strength training is a key element in this too.
While some may find this a controversial post, if it is read objectively, it is hard to argue the points.
