Use Your Imagination

Posted on November 22, 2022

When was the last time you used your imagination? Was it for a creative writing exercise? Or perhaps you were finding shapes in the clouds? Have you used it to imagine your life being different or better in some way?

Using your imagination can unleash powerful forces. It may be easiest to demonstrate its power if you think of monsters under your bed or terrible things that could happen with your finances or relationships. Sometimes your imagination can go into overdrive and paralyse you with fear.

Yet it can work for you going the other way too, in a positive direction. You can imagine passing an exam, creating a career you might love, excelling at a sport or decorating your dream home.

Use this super power for good and positive things and you’ll begin to see exciting changes in your life.

To find out more about using your imagination to achieve anything, pick up a copy of my book Achieve Anything. We explore it further in Step 1: Think, and give you some exercises to help you power up. Available on Amazon and other online stores. Head to www.Scottsbook.com for more details.

Celebrate Good Times!

Posted on November 18, 2022

Come on! It’s time to celebrate.

Sometimes you just need good friends gathered to have a lovely time. Even in dark days, tough times or a lonesome road ahead, getting up and getting out to have a chat and a laugh can work wonders for your mindset and your health.

If you’re in it together and can appreciate how good your life is, even in difficult circumstances, you’ll at least enjoy the moment. And that’s all we have. Moments.

Inclusivity That Excludes

Posted on November 16, 2022

When we try to be inclusive, we can alienate others along the way. If we include the footballers, the cricketers may feel rejected. The outsider may feel better for you bringing them into the circle but the locals may feel excluded.

You can’t please everyone all of the time but be aware of who you’re turning out when you are trying to bring someone else in.

Timing Is Everything

Posted on November 15, 2022

Think catching the bouquet, a fly ball or a wave. Or consider arriving on holiday as a hurricane is announced, living during a pandemic, or far worse, a war, or sharing a lift in a foreign land with the person you eventually marry.

Timing can be good or bad, brilliant or devastating. Try to set up your environment to win and set up your mindset to win too.

Maximise your good timing and minimise your bad timing. Get yourself where you’ll reap more benefits.

Perhaps timing isn’t everything but it is incredibly influential.

Dream Versus An Idea

Posted on November 14, 2022

Lots of thoughts come into our heads. But which are our real dreams and which are simply ideas that have occurred to us but we aren’t in love with them.

Sift through these ideas. Dismiss the merely interesting ones. Grab the one or two that lift your soul and make a smile on your face. Those are the dreams.

Now take at least one step right now to progress toward them.

You Want To Be Different, But Treated The Same

Posted on November 11, 2022

This is a big challenge for a lot of people. We all want to feel unique in some way. It’s nice to think we are unique among 8 billion people. Maybe it’s your physical look, an attitude, the way we dress or the thoughts we think.

The challenge comes when we want to be recognised or celebrated for our diverse or different ways but don’t want anyone to point it out and treat us differently.

You might display and highlight your culture and its uniqueness But then you might want to be accepted by others and treated the same, even if some aspects of your culture are in conflict.

Put the shoe on the other foot. Recognise that different is different and that’s good. But don’t expect people to treat different the same way.

Stay Alert To Possibilities

Posted on November 10, 2022

Keep your eyes open and your imagination running to really spot the numerous opportunities that cross your path each day. Many opportunities are not completely obvious. Some of them need to be looked at in a different way. Train your mind to see what isn’t already there but rather what could be.
