Everything is so close. Games, standings, awards, life.
Life is a game of inches. A hockey puck ricochets off the post in ice hockey. But because of the angle it sails wide rather than into the back of the net.
Be thankful when things go right and when they don’t go horribly wrong. Things can be so close and go either way. Be thankful.
To add a little extra to Mel Robbins’ latest book, we should let them cook. Let your kids show you what they can do. Let your employees do their thing.
Let people play out their game before you jump in all judgey with complaints and comments.
You don’t run into the kitchen at your favourite restaurant and criticise the half made soup or partly cooked main. Let people do the full cook before you jump on your judgey wagon and explain how they did it all wrong in your (often less experienced) eyes.
This is interesting. Let’s see what happens. This is a great way to approach any event, words or situations.
Unless you have control of the situation, observe.
Find the people that uplift you and challenge you to be the best version of yourself. Surround yourself with people that will stretch you and encourage you to do the work on yourself and maintain the discipline required to succeed in your preferred field.
Find good people, not easy people. Look for those people that will call you out on your pity party nonsense. Don’t find an easy crowd, go where the stakes are high and the challenges stretch you every day.
What do you focus on? How do you plan your day? Do you let diversions or drama interfere with your discipline?
The more results you achieve in a day, the faster you’ll grow your business. The more distractions you allow in your day, slows your business down, costs you more and weakens your brand and your reputation.
Use time wisely. Stack the results!
Every day is exciting! You’re alive!
Move fast and make the most of it.
Notice when you’ve added an extra 5 pounds you weren’t planning to add. Notice when your emotions bubble up and then understand why.
Notice how your spouse, friends, and parents react to things you say and do.
You don’t have to notice anything. You don’t have to be curious. But it will probably have a wonderful positive impact on your life, if you do.
You never know what you’ll find below!!
This will make you feel good. You’ll feel younger, though maybe a little nostalgic too.
Do this on your own, with a friend or a group of old friends. You’ll be glad you did.
Do you do this often? You decide why someone did something. It could be your spouse, a political leader, your boss or your child, but you believe you know why they did something.
Your opinion, your guess, your assumption, is now fact, at least in your mind.
Just remember, this says more about you, than them. It tells us how you think and what is in the realm of what you might do.
Sometimes it is better if you don’t express your opinion of how you believe others think.
