Write Out Your Plan
Get it down on paper. Start with 35 years from now. Note down what you’ll have done, been, seen and have. Write it like it came true.
You’ll start to focus on these points every day. Keep reading them and rewriting them. Soon they’ll start to appear in your life. You will be in awe, but keep going.

Peace
A word used quite often. Though anyone screaming it probably doesn’t really understand its true meaning or significance.
Peace is calm, tranquil, and understanding. There are no games. If two countries or people want this in their relationship, and both work towards that as their ultimate common goal, then it will happen.
You can’t have only one party openly and actively committed to peace and still achieve it. The other side has to participate, with peace as its highest priority, or it is nearly impossible to achieve. Otherwise, the committed party will always be a bit hesitant and wonder if the other party will keep the peace, and that is not peace for the committed party.
The war zone can be quiet, and peace can reign, when both parties come to the table with only peace as its top priority.

Be More Curious
It’s easy to think we know so much. Yet, we know very little. We extrapolate, generalise, use bias and guess quite a bit.
We hurry people through their speech, usually just to say our bit. We aren’t that interested in what the other person has to say. We have our view and want to express that.
Yet things can dramatically improve if we just get more curious. Listen patiently to the person speaking. Understand their current mindset. Get the context in perspective. Listen to their words and emphasis.
You will learn a lot. You will improve your understanding. Your communication will improve. And you’ll become a better person.

Minimalist
The less you have, the less admin you have. The more you have, the more you need a family office or house manager.
Regardless, I feel the more minimalist you become, the happier you will be.

Keep Learning
You can learn something from pretty much anything. It could be from people, like your parents, or experiences, or from watching or reading.
When you’re 16, you think you know everything. But at some point you should realise that there is more info than you could imagine in the universe.
Keep learning!

Support Your Team
There’s rarely a good reason to boo, demonise, slander or outrage over the opposing team. The best thing to do is get positive about your own team, celebrate their strengths and wins, and cheer them on.
The positive focus will impact you in a good way. The negative focus will impact you in a less good way. Don’t ever focus on what you don’t want to become. Always focus on where you want to go, how you want to be and in a positive way.
You become what you focus on.
