Can You Handle It?!

Posted on May 30, 2024

Some people say that God doesn’t give you anything you can’t handle. It’s a great statement, whether you believe in God or not.

If you live by that idea, you’ll always believe you can handle anything that comes your way. Then, almost always, with a good perspective, that will be true.

It may get mighty uncomfortable at times, and for far longer than you’d like to endure. However, if you know you’ll be able to handle it and the darkness won’t last forever, you’ll know there is light at the end of the tunnel and make it through.

Conflicting Advice

Posted on May 28, 2024

Retire as early as you can, some people say. Others say never retire at all. Who do you believe? Often both sides will have good points.

Live for the moment versus have a 50 year plan, is another conflicting message.

Write out the pros and cons and see which idea works best for you while limiting the downside. Then follow that route while frequently testing that it is still the best route.

Spend Time Together

Posted on May 26, 2024

Whether it is with your spouse, child, parent or friends, make sure to carve out time each week to spend some time together.

Do fun things, silly things and also have important chats. Build those relationships deeply.

You have only one life to do it in and it goes quick. Make sure you put 10-20 minutes in daily and at least weekly (in busier times).

Budget Well

Posted on May 25, 2024

Look at what you have and how you’re going to use it. Spend some, save some, invest some and give some away to those less fortunate at the time.

If you do budget well, your wealth will grow and you’ll do well with that discipline. Train your brain to set and stick to a budget. It’s a rare but very useful skill.

Let Things Play Out

Posted on May 24, 2024

Relax. A million years have passed without your input or navigation. Perhaps letting things play out would be a good idea. The idea that your very limited experience in all things in the world and ability to coordinate 8 billion lives, or even one more than yours, will be better than all those that went before you, might be a bit of a stretch.

Unless you can predict, second, third and fourth order consequences for your own life with exceptional accuracy, then it is probably time to let things play out for everyone else. Besides, you might find all that relaxing rather enjoyable.

Enjoy Key Milestones

25 years of marriage, a special birthday, completing a marathon or simply getting through another 24 hours without a drink, are all great reasons to celebrate, reflect, pat yourself on the shoulder or be happy within yourself.

When is your next important milestone?

Plan Your Calendar

Posted on May 21, 2024

Aim to get three big things done each day. Build these three things into your calendar. Actually assess the amount of time it will take to do the thing. Then book that amount of time in your calendar, including timed breaks.

Then when that time comes up, do the thing you’re supposed to do, exclusively. Do not multi-task. Do not answer calls or look at notifications. Just get the work done so you never have to do it again.
