Do young people appreciate what working does for a person? It brings them an income, self-esteem, pride and a sense of confidence. Few things accomplish so much as work. Get out there!

Life’s Magic
Look for, enjoy and appreciate life’s magic. It is everywhere. In how you move your hand, with precision, to pick up a cashew and place it in your mouth. Think how amazing that truly is.
Or that your heart beats in perfect time, even when you are asleep. And you don’t have to even think about it!
How a cut heals is also quite incredible when you observe it closely over several days.
Recognise all of life’s magic, gaze in wonder and be grateful you’re involved.

Better Late Than Never
Have you ever missed an opportunity, birthday, special occasion, etc? It’s not ideal and you feel a little rough about it. But in the end, you are better late than never. Just get there and enjoy from that moment on. There is not a lot more you can do in that moment.

Plan Your Golden Years Now
Even if you’re only 15, start planning now. You might simply note the years that you’ll be 60, 70, 80 and 90. Perhaps you’ll write down how much money you’d like to have flow into your pocket each month from your passions, savings and investments. Then you know what you need to accumulate to reach that income goal in 50 years.
Sort your will, funeral arrangements and inheritance planning. Get an outline of these things together and speak to people in these areas or read books and magazines about it.
Spend some time and money to create a very simple and effective plan. You’ll sleep better knowing it’s done and everything has been taken care of. And your family will greatly appreciate it when you’re gone as they can focus on mourning you rather than racing around to sort out the estate, plans and time-constrained challenges.

50 Is Half Way
It is often said that 40 is mid life. But I’d argue 50 is more the middle. We don’t remember much from under 12. Then 12-18 is a wild ride of changes and growing up, though for most people many things are done for them by parents or boarding school. Food is covered and so is lodging.
So adult and independent years start around 20. Then 20 to 50 is 30 years. And 30 more years puts you at 80. That’s a great lifespan for those that make it.
So 50 is the mid point. Stay healthy and fit, both physically and mentally, so you increase your chances of a long and enjoyable life!

Think Better, Feel Better
This is very true. If you have poor thinking, you’ll have poor experiences in life. You may worry, be negative, get angered easily or have unrealistic expectations.
If you can train your mind to think better, be more positive and balance your emotions, you are very likely to feel better more often.
Give it a try for a week or two.
