Remember to refuel or you’ll run out of gas.
Your car, and you as well.

You’ll Get Through
Resilience is a critical attribute or skill to have. Being able to survive and thrive, despite challenges and difficult times, is such an important mindset to develop to a high degree.
Life isn’t always fair and neither does it go to plan every day. Sometimes you struggle for days, weeks or months on end. You need to be able to navigate the ups and downs of life without losing overall enthusiasm and discipline to carry on without missing a beat.
Learn how to bounce back, keep going, build a vision, and not let things hold you down and trap you there for weeks, months or years.
Life’s short. You’ll get through anything you train your brain to get through, persevere and move forward stridently.
The sooner you can learn to bounce back quickly, the more incredible your life will be.

Plan! Plan! Plan!
No matter what you do, you should have a plan. A written plan is even better. It’s great to have thought things through a little and have written down those key points or elements.
This is great visualisation process and prepares you for speed bumps and other challenges you might encounter.
See the vision. Adjust as necessary.

Practice Detail
Big picture and generalisations have their purpose and place. However, you need to focus on the nitty gritty, nuts and bolts and detailed bits in order to finish a job well.
Make a list of all the steps you can possibly think of to finish a project from this point. Then crack on and get these steps completed.

Write It Down!!
You are smart, clever, sensible and capable. But why leave this to chance? Write things down. It takes a minute but you’ll be far better served by a note than your memory.
You think you’ll remember because it’s clear in the moment. However, a few days from now, with fifty other things going on, and you’re likely to forget or confuse the details with other things.
Don’t chance it. Write things down and review those things daily.

Enjoy When You Can
It will all end one day, so be sure to set aside some time each day to enjoy! Don’t put it off.

Pain Is Temporary
Remember this always. Pain is temporary. History is forever. DNA is forever. Life is going to have its ups and downs. Don’t get locked in on the downs. These too shall pass.
Hold on to great memories. Let painful ones go. You don’t need to drag those around with you. They will weigh you down and you will be less light, attractive and free.
Focus on great memories. You’ll smile more.
Let the pain drift away. You do not need to cherish it and bathe in it like a masochist. Set your soul free.

A Cushy Life
A cushy life might be a great ideal, where you always get what you want and make little to no sacrifices for your goals.
However, without any sacrifices your resilience wanes and your timing will be off.
You need to have some sacrifices to test your resolve.
Go try your hardest, make sacrifices, suffer a little, you’ll be a better person for it.

Don’t Allow Yourself To Be Distracted
It’s your choice. Be distracted and your dreams drift further away. Or stay focused and have a better chance at a better life: the life you say you want.
Set your phone alarm for 7 minutes and press repeat each time it goes off. Then if you’re distracted it reminds you to stay focused. You can even put ‘STAY FOCUSED’ as the alarm name!
