Planning Ahead
You’ll spend less, feel better and reduce stress if you can plan ahead.
Christmas cards are a great example. If you plan ahead, you’ll have time to make or buy cards that you love to send. If you’re making your card, you won’t have to pay for instant production. You can opt for the cheaper 2-3 day production.
Also, you will pay less for postage with a lot of lead time. You won’t have to use a courier, express service or overnight delivery. You can pay the least and know it will get there in time.
Not planning ahead, and acting on it, will cost you more time, more money, more stress and many missed opportunities. You may even have to pay penalties or fines. (Think about parking tickets. You pay less if you pay quickly. A good incentive).

Party Season!
It’s a festive time of year with lots of parties to attend and plenty of good cheer.
If you have drinks, it can be good to remember the three drink rule. More than that and you could find yourself driven home by a friend, a taxi, the police or someone’s Dad. Oh my!!
Don’t slip onto Santa’s naughty list this late in the year!

Seek Peaceful Existence
When this is the number one priority for all people around the world, we will have the greatest era of peace and prosperity, safety and security.
When even a few disgruntled people want something more than peace and place it as their highest value, we will have trouble and possibly war.
It only takes one bad apple to spoil the whole darn bunch.

Avoid Discomfort At Your Peril.
Having comfy shoes, comfy clothes, and a comfy job can be the ideal life for some people. They may even want comfort foods, their coffee and wine or cigarettes to help mask any discomfort.
But beware: If everything is so comfy you might go to jelly, physically and mentally. Sometimes you need tough stuff to harden you. You will need some discipline and resilience to get through the discomfort. Get yourself a little uncomfortable, for that is the way to get yourself to unstoppable.

Practice Serenity
You will learn a lot of things in life, but make sure this is one of those things. Learn how to do this at a young age and you can use it throughout your life.
It will keep you in better health, both physically and mentally. You will also get more joy out of life if you learn to take the edge off. Learn how to meditate and practice it daily.

Pursuing Perfection At What Cost?
If something is moving along reasonably well, tinkering around with it can make things worse as much as they can make things better.
Progress pushed too far can turn into regress. This can be seen particularly well in social settings. If you try to manufacture the world how you would like to have it run, there may be negative consequences beyond a certain point.
This may be some of the reason why we see political parties in power for four to eight years before they are voted out for the opposing group for a similar amount of time.
You can move a patient and accommodating person quite some way along towards your desired endgame. However, just as you gain confidence that you’ll be able to shift them to the end, they may reach a resistance point. And all the progress you thought you made, might start to unwind.
You may find yourself back where you started. Or, perhaps the momentum will take you back past the starting point to places you wished you’d never disturbed.
So sometimes you may be better off with some good progress and leaving it there. In pursuing perfection, you may pay a much higher cost than you could have imagined.

Little Sacrifices
What may be a little sacrifice to you, may mean the whole world to someone else. Giving up your comfort for someone else can be a real challenge. But once you do, you grow as a person. You realise what you can do without and how you can persevere. A lot of good can come from just one giving action.
