Do what you can to improve someone’s life, sort out a file, tidy something up, straighten out a cupboard, or even help someone.
Every day you should be looking for opportunities to make the world better, without making other people’s world slightly worse.
Think about it. Then go do something today.
Wake up and just smile.
If you are going to spend any energy on outcomes, spend it thinking about, and hoping for, positive outcomes.
Sure, you can acknowledge that things may not go perfectly well and there may be a few bumps in the road, but certainly don’t dwell on it. A swift acknowledgment that it could happen is enough.
Then put all of your energy and time into thinking about the different ways the amazing outcome is going to improve your life and the lives of others.
Focus on that!
Even if it takes 5 years to get there, start getting all your things in order. Toss out all of your unnecessary items. If you don’t absolutely love it, or it doesn’t bring you great joy, send it on its way.
It’s unlikely to be easy or quick! but it’s possible to do with just a day at a time. Start today and good luck!!
Thankfully you don’t have to do everything.
Whatever you don’t enjoy doing, you can find someone who really enjoys it. That’s a wonderful thing. Our accountant makes taxes fun, which is great. Some care workers are definitely in their best career. There are doctors who love doctoring and engineers who love engineering. That is the same for many electricians, farmers and plumbers too.
Thankfully, we all have our skills and passions to make the world go round.
It’s usually better than the alternative. So get out there and live it up!
Make sure you find someone in life that has your back. Not someone you force to do it or pay to do it, but someone who genuinely wants to be there for you and wants to be part of your life.
If you have one in life, for any time, you are very lucky. Having one that is there throughout life is amazing. Having several would be winning life’s jackpot. Be incredibly grateful for these people.
Remember your past. Appreciate it. Do this often. This great feeling is very important to have throughout your life.
The older I get, the more I can see the potential in people, especially the youth, or those younger than me at least. They have time on their side. If they use their time wisely, they can achieve anything. They just need to dream big enough and get to work.
Hope is a very powerful force. It can sustain people or keep them going through very difficult times. Feeling that there is something better ahead can lift your spirits and provide the mental resilience one needs to get through tough times.
Find hope and hold on. Sometimes that is all we have. Or need.
