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.

Hard Work And Luck

These both look the same. The results can lull you into a false sense of comfort and expectation.

Being a millionaire may have come from hard work as an employee or a business builder. But you could have also simply won the lottery. In both cases you can enjoy or show off your wealth. No one needs to know how you got it.

However, you’ll know how you got it. And one route is vastly more likely to have eventual success than the other.

So start off with hard work and if you get a lucky break along the way, enjoy it.

People Overcompensate

If you’re driving, and you veer to the left, you may overcompensate and put yourself off the road, but on the right side.

When someone does something you think is wrong, you may go even further in trying to correct it.

Be mindful of this correction bias.
