If it’s moral and no one should get hurt, take a chance. Sometimes it will work out well in the short term, others in the long term and some not at all. The experience will be worth it.

Start Early
Whether it’s your day, a journey, planning, building or a major project, it’s always helpful to start early.
Rise Up!
Be your greatest self!! Lift yourself out of your situation. You can do it! Begin!!
Spice It Up!!
How can you add a little variety or fun in your life? Do you even know what feels fun anymore? Better have a think about it!
Think Better, Feel Better
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
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
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
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.
8 Hours Sleep
Aim for this for maximum health over the long run. So many benefits come from this.
Your Best Performance
Play to win. Use every minute of the match as if it’s the final minute of the World Cup. Do not rest on a decent lead. Add to your position every time you can.
Do not let up or coast. Use everything you’ve got. Rest after the match has been concluded.
