Enjoy the extra heat while you can!!

What Are You Reading?
Does it fill you with joy or sadness? Are you more tense because of it? Does it make you angry, frustrated or alone?
Reading is a great and underused skill. Though reading good, positive and enriching things is so important. Don’t waste your time on junk. Look at what junk food does to a body. Imagine that with your brain.
Decision Making Is A Superpower
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.
Do Things Before You’re Asked
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?
Leave At The Top
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.
