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.

Things Don’t Usually Change. But Your Perception Can.
While you spend your time trying to change circumstances or other people, the world is whirring by.
If you want things to change, try changing how you look at things or people. If you use a negative filter to assess everything, guess what you’ll discover! It will be all the negative aspects of the situation or person.
If you use a positive filter to assess things, expect to find positive aspects of the person or circumstance.
Don’t let a negative mindset drag your life down. Change your perceptions before it’s too late!
You can make yourself happier simply by changing how you perceive things!

Positive Focus
Sometimes life hits hard and it would be easy to get lost down a negative rabbit hole. You need to resist that. Take a moment and refocus.
Train all your energy on being a positive force with a positive mindset. Be grateful for all that you have. It is far more than you think. Appreciate where you are and what you have. The grass is greener where you water it. So pour some water on your side of the street.
Maintain, or re-establish, a positive focus. Do not let the negative thoughts gain a foothold in your mind. You can beat this and lead people to a better place if you stay positive focused.

Keep Smiling
Even if your whole world is falling apart, keep smiling. You’ll feel better.

Celebrate
Put a marker down that is memorable. Do something unique to you to celebrate a milestone or victory.
It is important to mark occasions and make that day distinct from others so your special moments don’t run together with your regular days.
