Patience
Sometimes you have it and sometimes you don’t. Practice.
Is Your Life Story Becoming A Warning Or An Inspiration?
If someone wrote your biography and turned it into a movie, would people watch with interest? Would it lift people up and inspire them to greatness? Or would it be a warning to others to avoid this route at all costs?
Now that you’re thinking about it, you could actually do something about it. If it looks like a positive role model story, well done, keep going! However, if it has flashing red lights and warning labels all over it, perhaps rethink the plan for the next five years and start turning things around.
Present And Future
You can’t force things to be how they were in the past. Accept the change. Direct the future. Live with the new reality.
Travel!!!
It can be a lot of fun, educational and enjoyable. It often leads to unforgettable experiences.
Find Your Favourites
We are all searching for our favourite things. We try new foods to see if we can find our absolute favourite. We assess different political and philosophical ideas to find our favourite one.
We also look for our favourite person and people. We seem to be on a continuous, never-ending quest to find our favourites. When will we be satiated?
Keep Positive Thoughts
Even in the darkest of times, keep positive thoughts. They will help you through the darkness until you see the light again.
Make Work Appreciated Again
Do young people appreciate what working does for a person? It brings them an income, self-esteem, pride and a sense of confidence. Few things accomplish so much as work. Get out there!
Make Plans 5 Years Out
It’s difficult to achieve worthwhile goals in just 5 minutes. And there are a lot of hurdles and obstacles to get in your way. In addition, almost everything takes longer than you think it will.
So make some bigger, exciting plans 5 years out. You don’t have to know how you’ll get it done. Just commit to doing one thing a day towards achieving each goal. Slowly the end will come into focus and you’ll more rapidly progress to, or beyond, your goal. That is pure magic and joy.
Be Well Informed Before Committing
Gather the details, assess the options and test ideas with those for and against. Really understand the position and possible outcomes before committing.
