Sometimes you’ll notice how well things are flowing, like traffic, an airport, or even your thoughts. And other times you’ll notice that it seems like you’re swimming upstream, going against the flow, or struggling to get traction. Aim for flow, as a producer or consumer, because everyone will benefit.
You have more than you think you do. When something is important, you can push harder for longer and withstand greater adversity than you ever imagined you could. Test yourself. Really go for it!
Yikes. Some is terrible. Though some are really great. Today, however a bank/credit card company and a car rental company have been so very painful. I don’t recall ever being engaged for so long and walking away with such little progress. Some companies need to be reminded that our time is more valuable than their cost efficiencies.
The easiest way to get a conversation going is to ask questions. Some of those questions they will want to answer in greater detail. Note which those are. Ask more questions in that direction. Then sit back, listen and learn.
Most of your life you shouldn’t be looking forward to sleep but rather the thing you do when you’re awake. Make it awesome and they will have to drag you away from it when you require sleep.
Have elements of your life gotten away from you? Well now that you are aware, what are you going to do about it? You can get the old you back or create a new you. Just don’t let life pass you by while you decide what to do.
Reduce the clutter in your life. Whether it is books you’ll never read or papers you will never need, remove them from your life and space as quickly as possible. Make room for things that bring you joy. Also unsubscribe to emails you no longer read or need. Get off groups that have been great but you no longer participate in. Be as minimalist as you can dare to be so you make room for the adventure, love and opportunities that will awaken your soul.
Is there a god? Does it matter? What matters is if you believe there is a god or not. If you believe there is a god and you act as if there is a god, that is all that matters on this Earth. If you discover, once you die, that there is or isn’t a god, and you’re proven right or wrong, it can’t impact what you did all those years while alive on Earth.
So the belief that there is or isn’t a god, or anything else, and acting accordingly, are the two most powerful components of living. Be mindful what you believe. Have faith more than proof.
Do you enjoy card games or roller skating? Some people prefer sports and others like reading. You can get a thrill from high octane adventures or lie listlessly near a river enjoying the heat and watching clouds drift by. What’s your favourite way to have fun?
Survivors and especially more successful people may be more forgiving than others. Since they made it through life, they may let their kids take even greater chances. They may be less strict, more lenient, forgiving or even lax. That could be a good thing. But without some decent discipline, you’re setting them up to fail.
