Enjoy Conversation
Take the time to listen to what people are saying. Really engage your ears and hear what they are saying and why they are saying it. Engage with questions, comments and inflections.
Find out more than just the headlines. See behind those ideas and stories and learn the lesson being offered, whether inadvertently or with intent from the storyteller.
Enjoy the conversation you’re having. A great conversation can be fondly remembered for days or even years.
Enjoy A Lazy Day
Everyone could use a lazy day once in a while. The day could be to stay in your pajama’s, or read books, watch sports on TV, etc
This is not every Saturday, but 1-3 times per year. Throwing a whole day can be very regenerative.
Refuel
Remember to refuel or you’ll run out of gas.
Your car, and you as well.
You’ll Get Through
Resilience is a critical attribute or skill to have. Being able to survive and thrive, despite challenges and difficult times, is such an important mindset to develop to a high degree.
Life isn’t always fair and neither does it go to plan every day. Sometimes you struggle for days, weeks or months on end. You need to be able to navigate the ups and downs of life without losing overall enthusiasm and discipline to carry on without missing a beat.
Learn how to bounce back, keep going, build a vision, and not let things hold you down and trap you there for weeks, months or years.
Life’s short. You’ll get through anything you train your brain to get through, persevere and move forward stridently.
The sooner you can learn to bounce back quickly, the more incredible your life will be.
Enjoy When You Can
It will all end one day, so be sure to set aside some time each day to enjoy! Don’t put it off.
A Cushy Life
A cushy life might be a great ideal, where you always get what you want and make little to no sacrifices for your goals.
However, without any sacrifices your resilience wanes and your timing will be off.
You need to have some sacrifices to test your resolve.
Go try your hardest, make sacrifices, suffer a little, you’ll be a better person for it.
Results Without Sacrifice?
Rarely would this happen.
If you want to be great at a sport, you will need to sacrifice dating time, drinking time, drifting time and put a lot of training in. Same with education, work, relationships, etc.
You’ll need to sacrifice time, comfort and ease for involvement, hard days and tough work.
It will be worth it in the end. But you have to believe it and live it now.
Hot
When it’s hot, it’s hot.
Try to keep your cool.
Be Early
Aiming for ’on time’ is ok but you will often end up a little later than hoped or a little frazzled. It’s not worth the frazzle!
Be early rather than on time. You’ll feel better getting there, when you get there and later on because you did so well.
