Get Excited

Posted on February 20, 2025

Get excited about your life! Either appreciate what is going on a lot more or find more things that get you excited.

That excited feeling is brilliant. Your senses are all fired up and you get a real feeling of being alive.

Work can do it. Sports can fire you up. Going on a trip can get your juices flowing. Do more and appreciate more. Concerts can also do it.

Watching England beat France in rugby last week did it. So did watching the Eagles beat the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. And now again the excitement peaked with Canada winning the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off in a very exciting final match against team USA.

A Great Life

Posted on February 19, 2025

Be grateful for a good life. Many are not so fortunate.

And if you feel you’ve had a great life, even more reason to be grateful.

Create A Life That Inspires You

Posted on February 17, 2025

Begin with the end in mind. Dream about the ideal life you’d like to live and when you’d like to start living it. Then start to research how you could make it a reality.

Get information. Book meetings, hotels and cabs. Write out the micro steps you’ll need to get you there.

It’s very fun and exciting to think that, if you keep it front of mind, one day you will get there!

Raise Your Standards

Posted on February 15, 2025

Go test drive a car that is nicer than yours. Have a coffee in an opulent hotel restaurant. Find a great deal on the least expensive night of the year and stay in a nicer hotel than you usually would. Rent a slightly nicer rental car than normal.

Go shopping in more expensive stores during their sales. Pick one item you love, that is at an affordable price for you, and buy it.

As you slowly upgrade your experiences and surroundings, it will change the way you think, feel and experience or see the world.

Even if you don’t choose to upgrade permanently, due to budget or other considerations, treat yourself to it once a month or 4 times a year at least.

You’ll appreciate the differences.

The Kindness Of Strangers

Posted on February 8, 2025

Isn’t it incredible that someone you’ve never met can be unbelievably kind with no benefit to themselves. Perhaps the benefit they receive is knowing they are a good person and live the values that are important to them.

These kind interactions happen billions of times each day, from opening doors and letting others go first, to helping people who have lost a child, their keys or their balance.

Cherish these moments. It’s what helps to bind people together in society.

Love

Posted on February 7, 2025

Love what you do. Love the important people in your life. Make a point of making them feel like an important part of your life. Say good morning. Say goodnight upon retiring. Place your hand on their shoulder. Hug them.

Leave them notes. Praise them. Lavish compliments on them. Laugh with them. Enjoy your time together.

Your Last Time

Posted on January 30, 2025

There is always a last time. We just don’t always know when it will be.

Times you’ll know it’s your last time can be your last day sitting at your desk at school, the last time you you drive a car before you sell it and your last day working for a company.

Although sometimes you won’t know it’s the last time while it is happening. Your last goodbye to a friend, the last time you speak with one of your parents or the last time you wake up in your bed.

Appreciate every day and every encounter. Give heartfelt goodbyes, as one will inevitably be the last.
