Enjoy Every Minute
You go around once. Enjoy every minute of it.
That means when exciting things are happening, with fabulous friends, and when zero is happening, and you’re sitting alone, in the quiet, with only your thoughts for hours.
Enjoy all those times.
Enjoy the painful times for the context it gives you during the neutral and great times. Enjoy the great times because they are not the painful times.
All of it makes your life a richer experience, especially if you can take deep learnings from these moments.
Enjoy!

Let Life Flow
Many times we have situations where we try to direct or correct a conversation. Oftentimes we do not need to do that. We can let life flow.
My Dad pointed out a man dressed similar to another man we’d seen earlier and commented on how fast he had gotten ahead of us. I noted that it was not the same man, given they had on very different trousers and this one did not have face tattoos.
This then seemed to escalate just a little with a touch of tension. I immediately sensed this and let life flow. It did not matter if it was the same guy or not. It was immaterial whether he had, or had not, somehow gotten ahead of us (despite the other guy also having got on a bus going in the opposite direction!).
So I let him have his gasp of how incredible this was. And then we moved on to some other topic of discussion. And that little tension that had started appearing, disappeared just as quickly.
The casual observer may not even have noticed the very slight and subtle changes that had taken place in tone, pause, and face or body movements.
For things that really aren’t going to matter much, or at all, or at least will have no significant impact on your life or the lives of others, just let life flow.
Life doesn’t have to go according to your wishes or desired outcome in every moment.

You’ve Got It
If a switched on person pays you this compliment, listen to them, and hold it deep in your soul. It is such a great feeling. Capture it. Remember it. Let it absorb into you and never forget it.
A very switched on man, paid me this compliment today, which was relayed by his wife. It was a stand tall, ‘hey thanks!’, kind of moment, that I’ll feel and remember for a long time.
Thank you John and Susan.

Who Are You Thinking About?
There is often someone on our mind at any given time. This could be a special someone, an ex, your spouse, your kid or parent or an old friend.
There are dozens of reasons why they could be on your mind as well. Some examples are that you’ve not spoken for awhile, something reminded you of them, there is a longing for them or they’ve done something special.
Reflect on this today. Catch yourself and notice when you’re thinking of someone else and why. There could be a pattern developing…

Life’s Chapters
Your life is like a book. It is filled with many chapters. Some have been written while others remain blank pages.
Although the blank pages may already have the destiny in place, it is not written such that you can read it in advance.
When a chapter is completed, take a moment to reflect on it. Appreciate the experience before moving on to the next chapter.
Though don’t dwell too long on what has come to pass. Life is short and you are best to continue your present into the future. After that brief reflection, begin immediately and dive in, just as you would start a new chapter of an exciting book.
Life is for living. Get going! Write your amazing life story.

Reflect
Take time to reflect on conversations and situations. Really explore your participation and also other people’s input. Try to see how their perspective may have differed from yours.
There is a lot you can learn from a post-mortem. You won’t learn everything, but you can learn a significant amount which may change your feelings toward the person or the situation.

Let Things Play
Often we try to rush things faster than we should. If you are running late, you may try to drive faster to make up the time to your next appointment. Often that works, but sometimes you get a speeding ticket or have a minor accident.
You can’t rush cooking something. You wouldn’t be advised to cook chicken for half the time the packaging says. You may end up feeling unwell.
Sometimes we need to just let things play out. You may want to hurry it along, especially if waiting or the topic makes you uncomfortable. But it can be good to wait and see where things go naturally. You can develop patience, learn about human nature and hone your listening and observation skills as things play out.
The world has a rhythm. Let things play.
