Many times we can note the problem, focus on the problem, talk about the problem and the problems that arise if the problem isn’t fixed.
If we spent more time thinking about potential solutions, we’d find one that works fairly quickly and get on with implementing it.
You don’t have to go to Mount Blanc for stunning scenery, but it helps.
Get outside to a nearby park, forest, mountain or lake and take in the natural beauty. Do this as often as you can.
Think about what magic it took to grow the trees and to have all that natural environment around you.
Capture the sense of awe that it deserves.
There is great everywhere; you just have to look for it. It’s easy to mistake great things for merely good. Good sounds fine.
If you have high expectations, you might say most things are good. But in the big picture, many good things are actually great!
Upgrade your view of the world. Things are much, much better than how you position them.
Focus your time and attention on key tasks each day and week. Do not overburden yourself with too many tasks to do. You are likely to dilute the progress you are making.
You can change your circumstances.
Have hope. Create a vision. Make a plan. Work towards it.
Get through a day, a week and a month. It will get easier. Five years from now you’ll look back and be astounded with how far you’ve come and how different your life is.
When was the last time you took a look at your goals, their timing and how well your tracking against them?
Some things should be reviewed daily. Other items would be fine on a weekly basis. Much bigger picture items can be reviewed on a monthly basis and even annually. Although make sure all the smaller milestones for these big goals are reviewed more frequently.
Goals are wonderful things to have but you really do need to be kept accountable with them or you’ll miss the outcome, the timing or both.
From booking a holiday, to medical appointments, buying a car and mortgage applications, things take a fair amount of time.
Not only do you need to really want to do the thing, you have to be willing to spend the time to organise and prepare for it!!
Not as easy as you think.
Of course you would like to win the lottery. However, with odds north of 45 million to one, it is not very likely.
In some cases it’s mathematical and in other cases it’s karma, the law of attraction or balance in the universe.
The harder you push to get what you’d like rather than what is likely, the more probable you will fail.
Who and what needs to get off your list?
It can be a person or an item, but there are people and things on your list that have no business being there anymore.
Have a quick think about it and then start removing them to free up space for the delights of your life.
