Plan Your Golden Years Now

Posted on October 6, 2023

Even if you’re only 15, start planning now. You might simply note the years that you’ll be 60, 70, 80 and 90. Perhaps you’ll write down how much money you’d like to have flow into your pocket each month from your passions, savings and investments. Then you know what you need to accumulate to reach that income goal in 50 years.

Sort your will, funeral arrangements and inheritance planning. Get an outline of these things together and speak to people in these areas or read books and magazines about it.

Spend some time and money to create a very simple and effective plan. You’ll sleep better knowing it’s done and everything has been taken care of. And your family will greatly appreciate it when you’re gone as they can focus on mourning you rather than racing around to sort out the estate, plans and time-constrained challenges.

Think Better, Feel Better

Posted on September 30, 2023

This is very true. If you have poor thinking, you’ll have poor experiences in life. You may worry, be negative, get angered easily or have unrealistic expectations.

If you can train your mind to think better, be more positive and balance your emotions, you are very likely to feel better more often.

Give it a try for a week or two.

Trying To Make Things Better, Can Make Them Worse

Posted on September 29, 2023

Whether it’s welfare, tractors in Africa, lower lending standards, or government covid policies, when people with good intentions get involved, the long run outcome can be worse.

Of course the immediate benefit is observable and often desirable. Unfortunately, the second and third order implications can be less beneficial, or even damaging or disastrous. (Though rarely for the people that initiated the policy).

Many of the world’s modern issues are derived from well intentioned people getting in the way and trying to control outcomes. Most often, people would be better served if there was less human intervention and they let the natural course of events take place. There is balance in the universe. Sometimes we should respect that and be patient.

Be The Bigger Person

Posted on September 28, 2023

When someone says or does something that bothers you, you don’t have to bother them back. It’s not a competitive Olympic sport where you get points and medals.

Usually it’s better if you can be the bigger person. You can shrug it off and move on with your day, not missing a beat. It often helps to think that they are probably having a bad day or aren’t very skilled in conversation, joy or gratitude.

It’s not your job to teach. Though your response can help them see how to respond to challenging moments in a better way.

Set An Alarm

Posted on September 26, 2023

With phones in our pocket all day, use the alarms on the phone to help keep you focused and remember important things.

I use the countdown timer A Lot! I also have dozens of alarms for different days of the week and situations. I always put some positive words in the description so when it goes off I get a boost of positive energy.

Use a great sound for the alarm too; Loud if you’ll be in a busy place and soft if waking you up or in a meeting.
