You Are Amazing!
Yes, it’s true.
You don’t realise it, or accept that it’s true. But you are incredible, yes, I mean you.
You’re bright as a bulb and funny as heck. You’re just the one I’d want on a long, solemn trek.
You make me laugh and that’s a good thing. And you may not know it, but you make my bells ring.
When you’ve got a thought, you shoot guns a-blazing. Regardless of that, I think you are amazing!

Life Is So Fascinating!
Everything in life is so fascinating.
The idea that we are here and can read this and understand it is quite amazing!!
It is incredible that our hearts beat, bodies digest and lungs breathe, all without us even thinking about it. Whether we are awake or asleep, busy or at rest, our basic functions keep happening without us having to give any directions.
Bees make honey that we can eat. How does corn know how to grow from a seed?
Life is so fascinating!

Negotiations Often Require 7 Touches
When you begin a negotiation, start by thinking you will go back and forth 7 times or even more.
Don’t start out thinking it will be one and done. Begin with the idea that they will reject your first 3-4 offers. In fact, you can make the first, full offers such that they are very likely to reject them.
When you prepare for rejections and 7 touches, it makes it easier getting through the negotiation.

Isn’t Life Incredible!?
Yes.
Although there can be desperate and hard times, tough situations, emotional and physical pain, there is also the flip-side.
There is joy, beauty, euphoria, love, bliss and moments you want to never end with people you adore.
What you choose to focus on will determine where your life goes. The more you think about the negative, the more pain and suffering you’ll need to endure, if only in your own head.
The more you focus on positive thoughts and gratitude, the stronger, happier and calmer you will be.
What’s crazy is you get to choose. Your circumstances don’t have to change, just the way you look at them.
And for some masochistic reason, there are many people who prefer to complain, point out the downside, see fear in everything and be unhappy.
When you can just flip the switch in your head and focus on the positive and gratitude and feel better almost instantly, it seems wild to me to choose the opposite. (Yes it does take daily training)
What do you usually focus on? Be honest.
Isn’t life incredible!?

The End Always Arrives
If there is a beginning, there’s going to be an end one day. We just don’t always know when that will be.

It’s So Close
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.

Let Them Cook
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.

Let’s See What Happens
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.
