Life gets a lot easier if you are looking for common ground.
Oh, and if you don’t feel the need to blame anyone.

When you are clear about what you want, being presented with many choices is irrelevant. Stick with your focus.
There are so many things to do, distractions, and yet you must make time to be with your family.
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.
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.
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!
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.
On your own, with your spouse, with friends or with kids, get out there and enjoy a night out.
A few well chosen words at the right moment can inspire, or give hope to, those who have only hope left in their life.
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.
