Many things require patience in life. Waiting on news from someone about to give birth or of someone unwell. Waiting for a wound or injury to heal is a common period that requires patience.
Patience while driving, skiing, shopping and banking are all good examples.
Be more patient and see how your days improve.
You really notice a difference when someone has that energy, that sparkle. They are great to be around, fun, playful and energetic.
They engage so passionately that it is impossible not to feel great and uplifted.
Get more of these people in your life.
Make sure the perspective of the people around you, or that you listen to, is aligned with the outcome that is most beneficial for you.
If someone is highlighting the negative, go speak to someone who highlights the positive. Otherwise, you may find yourself focusing on the negative and missing the beauty of all the positive.
Some people can find the positive in even the worst of circumstances. Others can only see the negative, even when surrounded by beauty and love.
In a rose garden, some only see roses while others make you aware of the thorns.
Which do you focus on more? Why? Would you like to be more positive? Training your brain daily is critical to making meaningful progress.
If a friend gives you advice, should you take it? That depends on quite a few factors. Do they have your best interests at heart? Will they have to live with the consequences as well as you? Do you want the outcome they are most familiar with? These are just some of the questions you need to consider.
Also consider what might feel good or easy in the moment versus what is right, moral or better in the long run.
When receiving advice, be aware of second and third order consequences as well. Also consider if the outcome they would want for you truly aligns with what you would want for you.
You can try to manage your timing, but most of the time things happen when they do.
But sometimes you can align things to your favour and, in those moments, it might be a good idea.
Death, taxes, and things change; those are the certainties of life.
Sometimes changes seem good for you and sometimes the changes seem bad. However, often changes will turn out well, given enough time.
Things change, be resilient and keep your mind open to all new possibilities so you can make the best of the new situation.
But some of us are looking at the stars.”
This is a great quote from the Oscar Wilde play, Lady Windermere’s Fan from 1892.
I love this quote. Even when life is a mess and you’re in the worst position, you can still see the beauty around you and dream a little.
Assess your position. Carry on if it’s looking decent. Hold em tight to your chest. Play for keeps.
This is all you need to focus on. Life is simply a series of challenges in which you will perform better, and enjoy more, when you find more solutions. Find solutions.
Simple.
They look for proof that they are right rather than consider what actually makes most sense in an objective way.
Some folks want to see positive while others want to see negative. Why would someone focus on negative things when there are so many positive things in the world to see, hear or remember?
While critics criticise and complainers complain, those with a positive outlook smile and remain grateful.
Which one are you?
Is it the better option for your life?
Could you switch? Or be more positive?
