Best Time?
Was 1920-2000 the best 80 years in history to be alive? One may be able to make an argument for it.
The greatest wealth increase per capita seemed to happen in this period. There were huge social changes and great technological changes too. Voting rights and laws were improved. The tv, radio, airplane, medicine, peace, and the internet all became ubiquitous in this time. So did indoor plumbing and electricity!
There was no 24/7 information access. There was no AI. Jobs and houses were easier to come by in that era.
Perhaps this century is an even better time?! It depends how you look at it.

Down Time
Enjoy a bit of time all too yourself. Be sure to carve it out and hold that time in your day. Otherwise, you’ll work, sort out kids, parents, friends, do admin, side hustle, charity work and that Board you’re on and forget, or run out of time, for you.
Guard your down time!

Pause And Think
Look around you. Have you ever marvelled at the incredible system our bodies are? Maybe you’ve thought it is rather amazing how every day you can turn on your tap and fresh drinking water comes out in abundance.
Waking up in itself is an incredible thing. All your blood is moving around and your heart didn’t skip a beat. It’s so wild.
Spend five minutes today in awe of how many millions of things must go well for you to enjoy your day of health, food ingestion and driving a car. Amazing!

Hip, Hip, Hooray!
If you’ve had a successful hip, knee, or other surgery, it’s time to celebrate! The miracle of modern medicine is incredible. Just 100 years ago, these surgeries would have seemed like magic. 300 years ago they would have been considered witchcraft.
Today, just consider them a fabulous miracle.

Find The Good
Find the good in people, things and situations. If you look for the good, you’re more likely to find it. And if you find it, the better off you’ll be in your mental state.

Inspire People
You don’t need to brag but you can share an anecdote or idea to inspire others. We all need a little more inspiration or enthusiasm, but rather than wait for others to give, why don’t you?
Learn how to be inspirational. Watch YouTube videos on how to be inspiring to others or how to inspire others.
It won’t cost you money. It will take a little time to learn and practice. But then imagine how you could impact everyone you come in contact with for the next 10, 20 or 50 years!
