When you get a chance, laugh as hard, as long and as much as you can. Not only is laughter the best medicine, it’s a lot of fun.

Your Health
The most important asset you have is your health. Be mindful and take care of it. Properly! Avoid cutting corners.
Learn how to sleep like a bear. Be physically active. Develop your resilience skills. Be aware of what you eat and drink. This will have more impact on your quality of life than nearly anything else. It will impact your look, how you feel, your self esteem, a great deal of illnesses you could develop and other mental health issues.
Take it seriously. Get properly aware. Become a disciplined person. Then enjoy it all.
Smile At The Peace
You know that moment you’re sitting there and nothing is really happening? That’s the moment. Just smile and enjoy that moment.
You’re alive. That’s what it’s all about.
You might not realise how amazing that moment is, but let me tell you. You were born. That stat in itself is amazing. You haven’t died yet. That is quite impressive! (More impressive if you have and you were still able to read that line).
You’re not at war or being gunned down. Your home is not up in flames. I could list all the things not happening in your moment. But the point is, smile at how ridiculously fortunate you are at this moment. Unbelievable.
Wish It Were So!
Then make it so.
It may take longer than you want but that doesn’t make it an impossible dream.
Celebrate The Finishing Touches
When you have done a great job on something, do a little extra and make it amazing. Deliberately dazzle people. Make things shine.
My wife is brilliant at this. She will work exceptionally hard to get things done and then push through the exhaustion to deliver a distinguished result. Take a look at our property portfolio and you will see.
Make it amazing and then celebrate the finishing touches.
Think Through The Options
Look at A, B and C. Consider the upside and downsides. Write this out in the most clear way. Review it twice. Show a few people and consider their feedback and comments.
Where are the risks? How will you mitigate them? Make a decision and go for it!
Thank Your Lucky Stars!!!
At any moment, with any situation, there is usually someone having an even worse time of it.
Be thankful to even have this opportunity. Don’t squander it!
You Can Change
If you say you can’t, ask yourself why..is it pride, stubbornness, laziness, childlike petty resistance, other? Tell me in the comments.
Help Your Mom And Dad
Help them when you’re 11 years old. And also help them when you’re 16, 23, 37, 58 and 72, and all other ages.
When you’re young, do the dishes, keep your room tidy, get good grades, and help pack the car. Help carry bags and lift things as well as sell stuff on eBay and fold the laundry well.
You’ll feel better for having done it when you’re older. You made a contribution. You appreciated them. Taking some of their burden can be a very big help. You might not realise how big.
When you’re older, you can fix things around the house, take them to doctors appointments or help declutter papers and things.
Go sort something right now.
Everything plus
When we look at others, we often think they are the same as us plus all the other benefits they have. We don’t tend to think what they could’ve been through or how difficult their life was or what they have sacrificed. We don’t know, but we make it up and we add only the good bits we make up into of our story of their lives.
