Life can change in a second, minute, week, month, year or decade. If it were to change for the positive, how long would you like it to take? The quicker you would like the change to happen, the more action you need to take.
Good decisions also help to make things go faster. Timely decisions too. Don’t fall behind and get dragged along by old opportunities. Stay fresh, alert and ready.
People are tribal. And we switch tribes based on the theme, topic or philosophy being discussed. If your favourite pastime is films, then you’re in this group. But if you’re vegetarian, you’re in this group. However, if you like to carry a firearm, then you’re in another group.
People like to choose their group based on their preferences. Being forced into a group is rarely ideal. For this reason, perpetrators of forced belonging are rarely perceived well in history. I’m sure you can think of several examples with ease.
If you’re trying to force anyone into a group, I’d stop now. You’re going to be on the wrong side of it sooner than later.
Something else springs up unexpectedly. It makes life more exciting, or stressful, depending on the thing and your personal philosophy.
Either way, just get it done as best you can and move on.
Few people I know, enjoy doing admin. Though it needs to get done. So try doing it a little and at a time but often or once a week for three hours in the morning when you’re fresh. Then give yourself something fun to do in the afternoon if you complete it.
Being away can be helpful in recognising the people and things you appreciate. You don’t need to go away for this to happen though. You can make the effort to find things you appreciate everyday.
It isn’t easy but it’s often worthwhile.
I hope you experience people in your life that are truly exceptional, kind, thoughtful and helpful on a scale you find difficult to fathom. Having people like this in your life will give you a whole new appreciation for humankind.
Do you pour it on or take your foot off of the gas? I suggest you step it up a bit and drive hard across the finish line. Make it a clear win, not a ref decision.
It’s one way to reach success.
Do what you can to improve someone’s life, sort out a file, tidy something up, straighten out a cupboard, or even help someone.
Every day you should be looking for opportunities to make the world better, without making other people’s world slightly worse.
Think about it. Then go do something today.
