You have more energy and time when you’re in your teens and 20’s. Travel, explore, be serious about a sport. Do things that you won’t be able to easily do by the age of 60 or 70.
You have more brain power throughout your life and might notice a decline by 65 or 75. Use it while you can.
Let people know, while they’re alive, all the good things you notice about them. Say it daily. Write them notes. Send them a full page letter.
People rarely hear enough good things about them after the age of 18. Let’s change that.
It doesn’t take much to be kind: a smile, a warm hand, patience and peace in your heart.
It costs nothing and can change the world.
Keep kindness in your top thought spot every day.
There are times you need a little levity. No need to be rude or crass, but be gently uplifting or apply gentle humour.
If you did not see any of the Charlie Kirk Memorial on Sunday, you should go watch some of it. It’s powerful.
I suggest you don’t watch clips from the news. Watch it on X or streamed live.
His wife Erika was incredible.

What do you believe in?
Have you ever really sat down for an hour and wrestled with this? Perhaps you have very clear cut convictions. Writing out your thoughts can be very helpful.
I think there was a scene in Bull Durham where the player rhymed off everything he believed in. Can you do that?
Maybe it’s time to give it more thought. ????
Power Naps are underrated and under-utilised.
A 10-30 minute nap as you start to flag, can be game changing. Try it.
If you want a better world, a better society or a better community, you need to be kind, decent and compassionate.
This is something you can do, regardless of what others do. Be the better person. Be the bigger person. Go first. Do this even if others make you want to show up differently.
Don’t give in. Stay strong. Take the high road.
An amazing thing happens every night. Your brain is cleared, your body rested and you get to begin again on making your life an incredible story.
Yesterday’s challenges are bygones. You start afresh. Let go of the past and launch strongly into the day.
Every day you can begin again. Whether you are further ahead or further behind, you have the choice to begin again.
When in doubt – family first.
If there are options – choose family first.
As a child or grandparent – think family first.
