Are You Sure?
What do you actually know is true? If you hear something from a friend, the news or a politician, how can you know what they are saying is actually verifiably correct?
Many people assume they are being told the correct information. And yet, they may not be. Go explore the opposite and see if it could be true.
You want to think your sources are so much better but perhaps they are more biased than you ever noticed. Look into it. Deeply. You may surprise yourself.

Whether it is a baseball game, person, an item or time, take the time to mourn your loss properly. There are 5 stages of grief and some extend that to 7.
Look those up and allow yourself to go through them. If you skip steps or the process, it will stay with you and be damaging in other ways.

Remember the good. Often.

Know When It’s Time
Timing is a critical part of life. Some timings you can affect and some you cannot.
When you decide to leave a party, that is your impact on timing. When your favourite superstar arrives at the party 10 minutes after you have left, that’s timing not in your control.
Everything is based on timing. A second too early or too late can change the course of your life. Yet half of it you can’t even control.
Focus on the timing you can affect and let the other ones be what they are.

Be Efficient
The less friction there is in your life, the more you can enjoy those activities you truly want to spend time on.
Design your life’s activities to have the least friction possible. This can be direct flights, grocery delivery, electronic banking, and a PA, EA or family office.
Quite often a little extra money can purchase extra efficiency and is well worth it many times.
Be sure to make the distinction that you pay for efficiency rather than just comfort. Paying more for a direct flight is efficient. Paying more for Business Class is mostly adding comfort, especially if you still have to have a connection.
Plan a little but don’t obsess. Being more efficient with your time is mostly about planning and looking for the opportunities.

Focus On What You’d Love
Focus on what you would love, not what you would not want in your life. Whatever you are thinking about, that’s what you’re gonna get more of. So if you think of things that you don’t want, you’ll get more of them and if you think of things that you do want, you’ll get more of those.
Your mindset is incredibly powerful, so learn to use it very well. Become a specialist in how to use your mind.
