There is no pause button in life. A picture may be the closest thing to a pause button. Although it captures a moment in time, it still doesn’t halt time.
Even when you stop and look at that stopped moment in time, actual time keeps ticking along.
How you spend your time is a fascinating thing. Take time to smell the roses but also keep cramming it all in before your final buzzer.
Guaranteed you are paying attention to someone or something, a person or a group. Have you thought much about this? Did you think through what they are saying, why they are saying it and what impact it is having on your life?
For example, if you follow sports closely, do you have a favourite team or player? What do they stand for or represent? Do they make you a better person? In whose eyes?
People usually think the people they follow are the best. This is true for sports teams, religions, political parties, authors, schools and even fishing clubs.
If you are interested in the greater good, for you and others, it may not matter as much who you follow as what positive influence you’re getting from it.
However, if you drop a notch and only want the greatest good for your group (not the population at large), then that is where division starts and troubles begin and it may even lead to conflict.
Groups and associations can be great. They are not all equally good. So be mindful about how much you rely on them being the only way with the correct information. You can get good information anywhere. Make sure you don’t fall for second tier info from a top tier source.
If you are replying, “I know”, to something, oftentimes it is because something was to be done and it wasn’t.
If you really know, then please sort it out. Then no one will have to tell you.
You may as well not know if you have done nothing about it.
Make it one not the other when needing to make a decision on things.
Our brains naturally tend to seek easy things rather than hard things. This makes sense on a survival basis.
However, go for things that are worthwhile. Yes a candy bar is easy but a banana is worthwhile. It will do more for you in the long run.
All natural is the ideal it seems. Vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, meat, and milk are pretty natural foods.
Sure, sour lollies are fun to eat, but they really are manufactured. Planes are also manufactured, because humans can’t fly naturally, like birds.
So many people want to encourage everyone else to eat, live, and be more natural. Unfortunately, many of these same folks want to eat, live and be manufactured, man-made or unnatural.
Why is that?
It is easy to dismiss work as hard, boring, dirty, tiring or dismal. This is not a helpful way to look at things. Check yourself if this is the only way you see work, as you may lean to the negative, which you may want to adjust.
Work can also be interesting, fun, enjoyable, creative, confidence-building and energising.
How you see it is in part how you see things generally and also what it is. You can change what you do and you can change how you see things, so don’t delay in making some changes.
Incredible speech given Friday to endorse Trump for President. It’s 49 minutes long. Listen to it. He says what the media would never tell you.
The Democrats seem to have been trying everything to win by eliminating the competition (Trump and RFK Jr) rather than stating policies and providing action plans.

Sometimes it makes sense to go off the grid. Spend a month totally focused on eat, sleep, work. Make some massive gains in your business, family, relationship, finances or health.
It’s only 30 days. It’s a small price to pay to make rapid and massive gains. Try it.
Not making plans can lead to disaster, or at least a less fulfilling life. Making plans and not following them could be quite frustrating as you neglect your dreams and don’t reach your own expectations.
If you have an exciting vision, make a plan to get there and follow the plan, you are very likely to achieve it. Now go give it a try!
Sometimes things don’t go as planned. Things change and you need to adapt. It can be good change, or less so, but either way you are on a new path. Make the most of every change.
