Look at where you want to go. Think about the options to get there. Then read an article, watch a YouTube video, listen to a podcast and ask a few people for other options. Then calmly consider your options.
At that point you can make your informed decision.
You probably don’t need more info. Just get your head straight and finish the job. If it needs to get done, take action and do it. Rest only once you can say with 100% certainty that you’ve finished the job.
Do this anywhere you can, when you need to. It’s a very important part of remaining resilient and making good decisions.
Hope is a very powerful force. It can sustain people or keep them going through very difficult times. Feeling that there is something better ahead can lift your spirits and provide the mental resilience one needs to get through tough times.
Find hope and hold on. Sometimes that is all we have. Or need.
Be courteous and kind. Be the first to say hello. Be curious about the other person and their perspective and life story.
Get out there and say hello to people.
Get your basics sorted out quickly. Then every 3-6 months add to them. Do not fall behind, or at least not for long. Then catch up quickly.
Keep building and compounding your position. If you have a 3 month emergency find, then set up your will. Once you have a will, get a POA ready, and then your funeral plans.
These things are especially important to do if you have kids. Better yet, get it all sorted before the kids come because you may then struggle to stay ahead of the curve. Good luck!! ????
In most instances, attracting people to you, your company or your cause is the ideal way to get people on your side. It feels great to be able to offer something that other people perceive value in. And it’s also great to be naturally attracted to someone or something.
What isn’t ideal is having someone demand your attention, demand your love or demand your participation in something. That rarely feels good.
Have a think about how you involve others in your life and business. Do you offer something so good that others want to be involved or do you demand their attention, affection and participation?
Is it time to double down on your great offer or time to make some changes in your game?
Think of a great photo of, or moment with, your Mom. Think and smile. Or maybe it is regarding your Dad. It could be with other family members or friends or an event you attended.
Regardless of what it is, find some happy memories and make your mouth, eyes and face smile with the memory. I’m not sure people do this enough. It’s so simple and easy and feels good too. Do it daily. Do it twice a day even.
This is also a great way to get fantastic photos of you. If there is a camera in your midst and someone wants your photo, look straight at it, think of that happy moment and smile. You’ll never have a bad picture of you again.

People tend to avoid pain if they can. Pain can be mental, physical or spiritual. Often we make decisions based on the least amount of pain we will have to endure. That isn’t always the best decision, for others or us. When you know it isn’t the best idea, then change your decision. The added spiritual pain is unnecessary.
