Investigate The Opposite

Posted on August 27, 2023

Learning how to assess information without your emotions and bias overtaking you, is a rare and useful skill.

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.

You Can Only Appreciate Your Own Reality

Posted on August 26, 2023

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.

We try to notice one or two key elements and think we are same same. But there are millions of other factors that can enhance or deepen the experience for one person compared to another.

Thanks AC.

Know Where Your Money Flows

Posted on August 25, 2023

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.

Mutual Understanding

Posted on August 23, 2023

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.

Is Your View Always Correct?

Posted on August 22, 2023

Perhaps it could be true. No one else is as good as you. Your sources are the best in the world, your analysis are second to none and you articulate every position with exceptional attention to detail and verbal accuracy.

Or maybe you have a blind spot or two you would rather not acknowledge or didn’t know you had. Consider the possibilities…

Play Cards

Posted on August 21, 2023

It’s great for relaxing, pattern recognition and mental acuity. There’s a great social element too. Even with solitaire (who hasn’t had someone lean over and help them out…)

If You Do The Same, You Get The Same

Posted on August 14, 2023

Think of the next 12 months ahead. How closely will it resemble the last 12 months? Will you eat similar foods, sleep at similar times, work about the same hours on very similar type things? I will guess that you’ll also celebrate the same birthdays, holidays and special moments.

If everything you do is the same, how can you expect life to be or feel differently? You really need to make some small changes or shifts in what you do. Then increase the frequency and/or intensity of these changes so you begin to get demonstrably different results.
