Those who can make quick decisions will succeed sooner in life. You can usually change a decision if you need to later. However, making a decision is critical.
Too many people prevaricate and hope they won’t have to make the tough decisions. Sometimes even easy decisions, like ordering dinner at a restaurant, can take too much time and thought power.
Practice making quick decisions each day this week. It’s a muscle that you can develop.
People are extra grateful and appreciative when you do things without them needing to tell you or remind you.
Receiving flowers or a gift has a lot more impact if you haven’t had to ask for them. Same with doing dishes and being romantic. What could you be more proactive about?
Depart as reigning champion. Leave the party while it is smoking hot. Say goodbye while all is well.
Each person might think this new fashion hasn’t happened before. They may assume they are the first ones ever to discuss this or see it evolve.
Eventually, people see enough happen over and over and write a song about it. “It’s all the same, only the names’ll change” – Bon Jovi.
History is a great thing to study when you want to learn about the future.
What incredible success would you have, if you really meant what you said about your goals or wanting to make changes?

If you notice your source is always biased one way, you should find some new sources of information.

Some folks are so interested in winning the argument, they’re not that interested in the facts or context surrounding it.
If you want better understanding, more than having your view get more votes, then go and engage with people holding the opposite view to you. It may not change your mind but you’ll better understand the complexities of the situation.
You’ll also become a better person and have less divisive conversations. So no need to wait for others to be less difficult in conversations. You can lead the way and be more balanced from the start.
It can be very hard to feel what another person is feeling in the moment. Even if you have gone through the same or similar experience, the lense you look through from all your life experience will be different.

You should have a plan for every penny. That would be ideal. Get as close as you can to this idea. Direct 10% to your savings and investments pot. Get it out of your account with an automatic payment, as soon as your income goes in.
If you have any money left over at the end of the month, pay down your personal debt more aggressively.
It’s nice to have a mutual understanding. Fewer words are needed. There is less thinking work required. It’s easy and more pleasant. But you won’t grow if you don’t allow your thoughts to be challenged.
