Help Yourself
Life has a lot to offer. But it’s mostly self serve. If you don’t see what you would like, simply ask. They may keep some items in the back for the special people who ask.

You’ll Be Happiest When Doing Your Best
Comfort lulls you into short term happiness. Ahhh. But if you are too comfortable for too long, you often get complacent. Then you do less.
Thats when the unhappy kicks in. And it’s hard to reverse from there. You might have a little regret creep in and some doubt about your abilities and future. Confidence is next to ebb away and then your life seems to become a series of easy, comfortable moments inside your shrinking sphere of activity.
Don’t let this happen. Do a few things each day that make you a little uncomfortable. Expand that comfort zone. Then you can start shifting from uncomfortable to Unstoppable!
Go on. Give it a try for a week.

In Pursuit Of Feeling Good
This can be a prescription for disaster in life. While feeling good is wonderful, the constant pursuit of that feeling can lead to poor choices, pain, misery and regret.
Often there is a choice between something that feels good and something less enjoyable. For example, watching your favourite tv show rather than doing an hour of homework. Or perhaps you’d rather pay for a holiday rather than research and invest your funds into a sensible venture.
Making the feel good choice once in a while will usually work out fine. However, developing a habit of avoiding harder work in pursuit of feeling good can leave your life in tatters after several years.
Your life can slide into a series of pointless undertakings, unfortunate failures and directionless drifting with no joy of accomplishment or giving. You may find you are lacking in life’s key elements such as health, relationships, finances and happiness.
You are in control of this. Pursue more than just feeling good and with a 20 year time horizon. Your future self will thank you.

Remember
Memory is an an incredible tool and human function. Think about how amazing it is.
It allows you to start each day knowing how to eat and speak using your full vocabulary. It is also useful in knowing where you parked your car, knowing how to drive and where you are going.
When you think about it for a minute or two, you will realise how absolutely critical memory is in our everyday life.
Another time you will recognise its incredible value is when you lose it or someone you know does. It is then that you will appreciate its magnificent magic.
Forgetting where your keys are is just a glimpse into this. So is not recalling someone’s name. It can be frustrating, time consuming and a little disheartening.
So keep using your memory to the fullest amount every day. Practice and train your brain as often as you can.
Memory is an incredible tool. We will miss it if and when it is gone. We just might not remember why.

Learn To Use Your Phone Better
Your phone is an incredible piece of technology. Wow! Yet, I would guess that most of us haven’t learned as much as we could, or should, about all the amazing things it can do.
Take 3 minutes today and read through the tech specs of your phone. Next week (or tomorrow if you’re keen), set up, or use, a function you thought was interesting. Do this every day or once a week.
By the end of 2023, you will be more productive and amazed at all the things these little devices can truly do.
For example, how much do you use your assistant, like Siri, on the iPhone? Get Siri to call people, look up stuff – without having to type it out, or dictate a note, message or email as you walk or drive. Fabulous!
