Depart as reigning champion. Leave the party while it is smoking hot. Say goodbye while all is well.

Fashions Come And Go
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 If You Meant It!?
What incredible success would you have, if you really meant what you said about your goals or wanting to make changes?
If you set yourself up to win, changed your habits and environment, had specific goals and timelines and committed fully to discipline each day rather than motivation, your success would be almost inevitable.
So what’s stopping you from setting yourself up to win?

Get Balanced Research
If you notice your source is always biased one way, you should find some new sources of information.
Do you want quality and accurate information or do you just want to feel good about the bias you’re happy with?

Investigate The Opposite
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
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
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
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?
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
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…)
