Every day should have one element of challenging yourself. Try making something new to eat or saying hello to someone.
The boys and I swam across the bay on this lake and swam back. Great challenge. Great achievement. Pick something every day that is outside your comfort zone and give it a go.
Use your imagination. Refine your thoughts. Be sensible, stay in budget but build a better life in your mind. See it clearly. Add in all of the detail.
Now, give yourself 10 years to get there.
Then decide you’re going to start today, do something everyday and reach your goals in 9 or 10 years. July 29 2032 will be the day you celebrate hard from achieving your dreams. Congratulations. You made it!
You may be financially free, married, still alive, retired, travelling to fascinating countries, dedicated to charity work, having children, adopting, teaching, coaching, having fun, or any of 1,000 other things.
Don’t wait 15 years. Don’t wait another minute. Get clear on a goal or two now and get working on it. Follow the 7 Simple Steps in my book, Achieve Anything, and you will succeed and become Unstoppable. Go for it now!

If working, work. If playing, play. When listening in a conversation, be there and really listen. Hear what they are saying or trying to convey. It’s important.
Get out on a raft, boat, yacht, SUP, kayak, canoe, pedalo, or pink flamingo. But get out there and mess around for some fun. Jump in the water for added cool.
It’s great exercise, fun and cooling on these warm summer days.
It can be a lot of fun. Try it!!
Enjoy that you are alive to do this. Sometimes things are good and sometimes they are bad. But you are fortunate to be alive and doing any of it.
Others have died or were never born and can’t even have your bad times. Find something positive in what is happening now for you. Then smile for that element. At least you’ll get through things with a story from it. And it could possibly lead to something much better.
Enjoy right now. It’s all you have.
Well at least we got here. Nine hours late and not quite to the finish line yet but hopefully we’ll be at our destination with no additional challenges or delays.
Everyone has kept their cool pretty well, and sense of humour, which has been great. And apart from a very hairy landing in 60km/h winds, it’s been rather uneventful.
Take it as it comes if that is all you can do. You’ll get there.
Things get missed, mistakes are made, time runs out. The picture isn’t always taken.
Sometimes we miss the moment. Although this can be quite upsetting, given the context, we must carry on. Time waits for no one. Get in front of the very next moment and capture the full essence of it.
There will be plenty of these in your life. And not always when you think you can handle them. They will arrive when you may not be expecting them or think you have the capacity to deal with them.
But you will be fine. Keep pressing forward with a determined, wry smile on your face.
Get yourself ahead of the curve. Then when the curve comes, you can deal with it from a position of strength. Good luck!
It’s easy to get distracted. There are lots of fun things to do. Plenty of easy things to do as well. Easy and fun are usually more attractive than hard and boring.
Stay on topic and you can rule your world.
Set up your environment to win. Make it easier and more enjoyable. Change your mindset. Be disciplined. Remain consistent. Persevere. Your success will taste so good. It will taste far better than the short term fluff that may have distracted you. Focus.
