Push your limits. Stay up late. Have the strength you need. Decide you can go the distance.

Sleep Or Achieve?
As always, it depends. What are the details?
Sleep is great if you’ve just achieved something worthwhile to you. Though, so is celebrating! (Step 7 in my book) ✅

Feel But Then Think
We feel first. But do we reflect on those feelings properly and often enough?
We have an ability to understand ourselves better yet few people take the pause to really consider this.
If you feel harshly about someone, what is the real feeling from? Don’t consider why you think you feel that way. Rather, try to understand what it is that is creating the actual feeling for you.

Fear Focus
Expecting disaster in any aspect of life is a good way to invite mental health issues.
Very many newspapers, news radio, news media, some recording artists and many individuals focus on fear and disillusionment. It is a road to horrible.
As Yoda said in Star Wars, “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
When you consume trash, expect trash in your system.
You can change this. Ween yourself off of the news. Unless you’ve met someone, or listen to people who have spent significant time with them, then you are being used by the media to think certain things and in certain ways about that person or event.
Of the thousands of pieces of information that they could feed you, they’ll feed you the spiciest so you’ll keep coming back. However, like just about anything in excess, you’ll start to regret having any.
Focus on positive words, reports, sayings, activities and people. Let the rest land where it may, but don’t let it be in your lap.

Thank God Trump Is Alive
Like him or not, the assassination attempt on Saturday was shocking but not surprising.
The left leaning politicians, media and other assorted people with megaphones or an opinion, have been wishcasting for President Trump’s untimely death, murder, for 8 years now.
Say horrible, misleading and often untrue things about someone for long enough and of course you’ll get some would-be hero to step up and be the assassin.
Murder is wrong. Premeditated murder is definitely wrong. Yet, so many have ratcheted up the hateful sentiment over the years. If you are one of them, go look in the mirror. Helping to create the environment for evil to flourish in, should not be a proud moment for a good person.
World War I started with the assassination of one leader. When you invite Evil to your door, don’t expect it to wait for an ok to come in.
Many on the centre right had said for 6-8 months that this day was likely to come as The President and his followers continued to attack Donald Trump’s character rather than debate policies.
Trump wants to unite everyone. And I hope he does. I hope people with fear, anger and hate in their hearts will realise that they’ve been sold an evil perspective by the media and they can break the trance at any time.
Thank God Trump is alive.

Uncertainty
Uncertainty usually creates anxiety. It is not a pleasant state to be in. The best cure for this is certainty. We get certainty by taking action and getting results.
Any result, good or bad, can reduce the uncertainty and therefore anxiety. So when in doubt, get moving toward your goal and create outcomes.

Best For Who?
The greatest good. That is a great phrase.
Listening to some politicians and journalists, you might think they only want what is best for themselves or the party / media outlet they work for.
What happened to the greatest good? Was it ever there even?
Ideally we would have people working for the greatest good of the most people while allowing any others to still thrive.
Unfortunately we have a lot of, “my way is the only way” thinking and actions which demonstrate some people would rather destroy others than lose power or adjust philosophically to accommodate more people.
When this happens, two tribes go to war. If you’re at all in a warring camp, blinded by fear, hate, distrust and disproportionate criticism, then try to pull out of this before it goes any further.
It is often hard to see our own destructiveness and personal challenges, but look inward, and see how you can help balance conversations and act for the greatest good.

See The Plan Ahead
Like Ollie Watkins said, he and Palmer had a plan for Palmer to feed it to him and he’d put it in.
Plan it. See it. Do it.
Become a legend.

Be Confident
Throw your shoulders back, bring your chin up a little, smile and say, “Of course they want me, I’m quite good”.
Walk around like that all day for a couple of weeks and watch your life change. A lot of success in life is about being confident. If you appreciate all the things you have done and all your experiences, it is easier to see why you should be confident and ready for everything going forward.
You may not start off brilliant, but knowing you’ll get better with effort is so important. Because at least you’ll try!
Be confident. Sometimes that’s all you have.
