People say they want things to be better. Well, what specifically and how would that look?
Many people say they like natural but when you note that how things are is natural, they want to manufacture it to be different.
People are funny.

Look Closely At Your Habits
Your habits are things you don’t even notice. But they will direct your life like no other tool. Pay attention to what you do, that is the real indicator of your true intent.
If our actions aren’t in line with our values, we will know. Similarly, so will everyone else.
So check your habits and see what you are doing and if you really are getting the results you say you want.

Don’t Fool Yourself
When you try to fool others, it might work. Just don’t fool yourself in the process.

Definitions Matter
Before or during a discussion or argument, agree to define what terms you’re both using. It is often quite useful since one persons anti-social behaviour is another persons fun party.

Find Peace
Think about what would bring you peace, for a moment or forever even. Have you considered what that would be? Really put some hard thinking time into this topic for a few days or weeks.
Consider lots of options. You may be surprised at what you learn about yourself!

“Find The Torture You’re Comfortable With”
I heard Jerry Seinfeld say this. It makes a lot of sense. The world is not ideal, so sometimes you need to just find the best in a bad situation.

Stop And Think
How often do we actually do this? Often we are racing around from one thing to the next, and we do not take any time to stop and think.
We react to so much in life. We would do ourselves a favour by taking time out for five minutes or five days, to stop and consider things more.
Decide where you want to be in 10 or 20 years, not 10 minutes or 10 months. You will then make better decisions. Be clear. Be determined. Focus. And soldier on.

Things Aren’t Broken. They’re As You’d Expect
Some people exaggerate to be heard. A Few scream about the broken system, broken this and broken that.
I’m not sure that many things are actually broken. Rather, they are playing out as you’d expect.
Rental markets are behaving as you might anticipate given the government policies during the last four years, from lockdowns, printing money and distributing that money to people everywhere.
Those actions combined with the natural ebb and flow of the market has exacerbated the situation.
Like weight gain, prolonged periods of eating more and poorly, and moving less and less, will eventually lead to disappointing results. The same can be said for lack of studying or lack of attention to your finances or relationships. It happens almost imperceptibly over time until a significant moment of realisation and you throw your hands up and say, “What happened here!?”
You can turn these things around at any time you want. But it will take a certain amount of pure desire and stoic discipline to get things going consistently in the right direction. Years of not paying attention, poor habits, good ideas poorly or unevenly executed is hard to turn around.
You can do it though. You really can! Though it will take a little planning and some serious resolution, determination and discipline. Let me know if you want some help with it. Otherwise, best wishes!!
