You are the star of your life. Start acting like it. You are also the screenwriter. So start writing in great parts, add a superb supporting cast, wonderful adventures and a few challenges for balance.
Start creating the life story you want to read about or watch on the big screen. Great books and movies can take years to imagine, write out, edit, publish, produce and get out to the world.
There is always a last time. You rarely know when it is though. There is the last time you ever see someone, the last time you work at a company and the last time you visit somewhere special.
Consider everything you do like it’s the last time you will ever do it. Because one day it will be.
Hope is a powerful mindset. To be hopeful and optimistic can carry you a long way in life, sometimes much further than possible without it. Remember this well. Your optimism is your superpower. Guard it with your life.
You can help people improve without encouraging unhelpful thoughts and actions. Helping people is a kind thing to do. However, when you enable bad behaviour and choices, you are no longer their friend, but their enemy.
Get moving quickly on things. Don’t dawdle. Move with intent to achieve, accomplish and complete. Then you can rest. No need to rest in advance or during. Try it. I think you’ll like the results.
If you don’t want to see it through to the end, don’t bother starting it. Think this through at the start of a project or situation rather then feel compelled to finish something you have no interest in.
It just happens at different times and under different circumstances. Some pain you can prevent. Others are out of your control. But know which is which so you can adjust accordingly.
Take the opportunity when it is there. Like water in a river, this exact water, in this exact way, will never pass here again. This is your moment. Dive in.
It’s an important thing to do. Keep your word to others and to yourself. If others won’t believe what you say, it can be hard on your brand and your income. If you don’t believe what you say, it undermines your confidence and ability to achieve anything.
This one habit will help you achieve a lot more than you can imagine. If you are trying to make progress hourly, then track this on an hourly basis. When you are trying to make weekly progress, track weekly.
Decide on your specific metrics, write them down and then write down each tracking data point. Yes, it’s easy to do in your head. But it’s not nearly as effective.
If you are serious about winning and achieving, write down your precise metrics and time intervals. Then track the metrics precisely and consistently. Writing it down may seem like a bother, but it is this little tiny sacrifice in your day that will make all the difference.
