Peace

Posted on August 9, 2025

A word used quite often. Though anyone screaming it probably doesn’t really understand its true meaning or significance.

Peace is calm, tranquil, and understanding. There are no games. If two countries or people want this in their relationship, and both work towards that as their ultimate common goal, then it will happen.

You can’t have only one party openly and actively committed to peace and still achieve it. The other side has to participate, with peace as its highest priority, or it is nearly impossible to achieve. Otherwise, the committed party will always be a bit hesitant and wonder if the other party will keep the peace, and that is not peace for the committed party.

The war zone can be quiet, and peace can reign, when both parties come to the table with only peace as its top priority.

Be More Curious

Posted on August 6, 2025

It’s easy to think we know so much. Yet, we know very little. We extrapolate, generalise, use bias and guess quite a bit.

We hurry people through their speech, usually just to say our bit. We aren’t that interested in what the other person has to say. We have our view and want to express that.

Yet things can dramatically improve if we just get more curious. Listen patiently to the person speaking. Understand their current mindset. Get the context in perspective. Listen to their words and emphasis.

You will learn a lot. You will improve your understanding. Your communication will improve. And you’ll become a better person.

Support Your Team

Posted on August 3, 2025

There’s rarely a good reason to boo, demonise, slander or outrage over the opposing team. The best thing to do is get positive about your own team, celebrate their strengths and wins, and cheer them on.

The positive focus will impact you in a good way. The negative focus will impact you in a less good way. Don’t ever focus on what you don’t want to become. Always focus on where you want to go, how you want to be and in a positive way.

You become what you focus on.

Get Sidetracked

Posted on August 2, 2025

Sometimes it is nice to get sidetracked. This is not because you don’t focus on what you should but rather because you might see or learn something that wasn’t on your current path.

When it happens, see what you can get from it without losing too much from what you were supposed to do. Win win.

Have Fun!

Posted on August 1, 2025

Enjoy your time when you’re awake. If you’re reasonably healthy, every day should be fun and enjoyable. Sure there is hard work but you can still enjoy being alive.

You can have a dream you’re working toward too. That’s always great to have as a motivating factor.

Every day, wake up and have fun! It’s easy if you try (and stick with it!).

Life Can Be Hard

Posted on July 25, 2025

Everybody has their moment of hard. Just because you don’t see them going through it, doesn’t mean they aren’t. And they may not be going through it right now but perhaps they did three years ago. Or maybe they will go through it in the next three years.

People have hard moments that they have to get through. Give them your support. Allow them some grace. They may not know how to deal with it. It could be a bit messy. Let them have some space and give them a break if it isn’t perfectly dealt with.
