Life gets a lot easier if you are looking for common ground.
Oh, and if you don’t feel the need to blame anyone.

Build it now. Make your plans and execute. Build a better body, stronger mind and more resilient soul.
Build a better company, marriage, community and church.
People are natural builders. Get out there and build something!
When you are clear about what you want, being presented with many choices is irrelevant. Stick with your focus.
There are so many things to do, distractions, and yet you must make time to be with your family.
Get excited about your life! Either appreciate what is going on a lot more or find more things that get you excited.
That excited feeling is brilliant. Your senses are all fired up and you get a real feeling of being alive.
Work can do it. Sports can fire you up. Going on a trip can get your juices flowing. Do more and appreciate more. Concerts can also do it.
Watching England beat France in rugby last week did it. So did watching the Eagles beat the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. And now again the excitement peaked with Canada winning the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off in a very exciting final match against team USA.
How you interpret things is how you see them. It is how you experience them. You react based on your learning and life experience. If you consider other options, it will help you respond.
The thing may not be what you interpret. It will be what it is, without your interpretation. Be mindful of this difference.
How to know and what to do? Pause. Consider how other people that are different to you might experience the same thing. Their way may not be better than your way, but it’s good to consider what they got from it.
Begin with the end in mind. Dream about the ideal life you’d like to live and when you’d like to start living it. Then start to research how you could make it a reality.
Get information. Book meetings, hotels and cabs. Write out the micro steps you’ll need to get you there.
It’s very fun and exciting to think that, if you keep it front of mind, one day you will get there!
Like in a game of chess, every move gets you closer to an outcome. The better you train, and play, the more favourable the outcome should be for you.
Life is very much the same.
Go test drive a car that is nicer than yours. Have a coffee in an opulent hotel restaurant. Find a great deal on the least expensive night of the year and stay in a nicer hotel than you usually would. Rent a slightly nicer rental car than normal.
Go shopping in more expensive stores during their sales. Pick one item you love, that is at an affordable price for you, and buy it.
As you slowly upgrade your experiences and surroundings, it will change the way you think, feel and experience or see the world.
Even if you don’t choose to upgrade permanently, due to budget or other considerations, treat yourself to it once a month or 4 times a year at least.
You’ll appreciate the differences.
Getting better is tough. Keeping your high standard once you’re there is tough. Wishing you were where you wanted to be is tough.
Which tough are you going to endure?
Put in just a little extra effort each day and you will get to the place you wanted.
