Sketch Out Your Ideal Life

Grab a pen and some paper. Start jotting down some key elements of your ideal life. What does your ideal house look like? What is your ideal car or cars? Would you be married? Describe the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual attributes of this person.

Where does your income come from? Describe the number and types of holidays you would like to take each year.

Now go get a plan in place to start making all these things happen within three to five years from this moment.

Go on! Dare to live the life of your dreams!

Find Common Ground

If you have a difference of opinion, try to find some common ground. Do you agree on certain aspects of the topic? Are there periphery ideas that you see similarly?

You may disagree about football being the best sport in the world. However, you could agree sports is important for health reasons, that football is one of the top 10 most watched sports and that it is one of the lowest cost sports in its basic format – you only need a ball.

Walking away with a few agreed points is a real win, even if you still disagree with the original point. It humanises the other person and you will feel less animosity towards the other person. This way you can feel good about the person while disagreeing. This is much better than the name calling, the frustration and being disgruntled.

Help People Up, Don’t Tear People Down

Focusing on negative aspects and the 2% of people that cause harm rather than the 98% that are neutral, or lift people up, is crazy.

There is no need to tear people down, call them names, or become hostile. They may have a different life philosophy to you, see things a bit differently to you based on their experiences in life or have a different political preference, but that is ok.

Live and let live. They have come by their views just as you have come by yours. For all but a few radical outliers, we can still get along despite our different perceptions.

And it’s a lot easier to get along if people haven’t called you names, shunned you or left you in fear for your health.

You don’t have to become a cheerleader, but please be decent in your discussions.

Good News Should Be Savoured

Try to let the good news linger. Play around with it in your mind. Dance with it. Enjoy the crazy fun of it. Savour the flavour and how it makes you feel. Good news needs to be enjoyed and savoured for as long as humanly possible.

Complete The Task

It is essential that you complete tasks. It feels good. You confirm you deliver. And, you won’t have half finished projects lying around unfinished.

Sometimes you have to work late into the morning. This is the price of peace of mind and success.

Play Along

It can be easier to play along with people than to confront or challenge them. Depends what it is about. If it’s something minor, this can be for the best. But as things get progressively worse, you may want to call time on the storyline.

Knock On Effects

Few things happen in isolation. We may only see the initial impact but usually there are other unintended consequences. Many ripples spread from the point of impact. Look forward and consider what else may happen from that point.
