What may be a little sacrifice to you, may mean the whole world to someone else. Giving up your comfort for someone else can be a real challenge. But once you do, you grow as a person. You realise what you can do without and how you can persevere. A lot of good can come from just one giving action.
Leave at the height of the party. Disappear at the top of your game. Keep them curious. Leave them wanting more. This strategy can buy you more time in life and be quite a good way to keep people looking forward to seeing you the next time.
Carve out a little corner of your day to get some me time just for you. Maybe you need a whole day away or even an overnight stay. Whatever it is you need to get some space and time, you should book it in. Sometimes it seems like the wrong time but more often than not, you’ll be glad you did it!
How often have you spent time on something interesting but not important? It can be easy to be distracted by interesting things and forget the key purpose of what you’re doing.
Be mindful of this situation. Being curious about everything, getting distracted and remaining distracted can all detail your future far more than anyone or anything else.
Remember, to lie you have to know the correct answer, believe it is correct and then say something else.
Just because someone has a different opinion to you, does not mean they are lying. They just see it differently.
Often we react and don’t take the necessary time to stop, consider and respond. We can see something happen and immediately come up with our version of the story. This usually involves our own bias, what we’re thinking about in that moment, what we experienced at the time and a thought of fear or strength.
Many times things happen for a reason we could not even consider. Or it will be a mix of various reasons that an observer may have no knowledge about.
When you’re about to comment on something, check your bias, and consider alternative positions and events that could have swayed the situation. It’s not always as simple and straightforward as Iwe make it up to be in our head.
Focus on 1 or 2 things at a time. Discipline yourself to say no to new things if they do not absolutely move your goals forward. Time is at a premium. Don’t waste it on anything that doesn’t improve your life through joy or wealth.
In the face of hardship, it’s the one helpful thing you can do.
Most people don’t dig too far down. There isn’t time, even if there is sufficient interest. So who ever creates the headline, creates the narrative.
Sometimes you have it and sometimes you don’t. Practice.
