There is a time for everything in life. A time for being an infant, teen, mid-lifer, and retiree. Your body and mind will be different in those phases.
People will react to you differently. Learn about the pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses of each stage in life and then maximise the opportunity in each.
Big generalisations are quick and easy. Getting into accurate detail takes time. Most people don’t have the time or want to make the time in their day. So they use the generalisation short cut.
New experiences, perspectives and timing can shift people’s philosophy and world outlook. Life is dynamic and therefore you can hold one thought on Tuesday and a polar opposite view as well, later in the week. It’s natural and should be allowed graciously.
What does it take to shift a person’s view on a subject? Is it just one item, thought or moment? Or is it the constant review of the idea and it’s consideration, that, over time, adjusts and shifts?
Have a real good look at them. Are you spending well? Do you get great joy from what you purchase? Is there anything you are buying that is unnecessary?
Listen to new ideas. Reflect. Use that new info.
When we test or measure something, we must know why we are doing it. We also must know what other factors could be skewing or influencing the result.
Then we must assess the end we are achieving versus the end we may want to be achieving.
Think about this with respect to money, fitness, health and relationships.
There are times you need to be on the front foot and not hold back. Like that moment you stamp down the ramp in skateboarding, or begin your descent in ski jumping, there is no stopping or turning back. You are all in. Try to do that with everything you do.
Sometimes we have a situation which we wish wasn’t happening. We may focus on how it has affected us negatively. This time, try to see how it’s a blessing in disguise. Because of this challenge, who did you meet? What did you learn? How will you build on this experience to make life even better?
When is it time to leave? This can apply to a party, a job, a relationship, a casino or a country. Most people don’t like leaving when all is going well. Some folks prefer to stay longer if they think they can fix it, improve it or it is going to change for the better.
The decision to leave is a complicated one and really depends on the circumstances in the moment. That said, you should definitely consider your options, at various times, though sometimes your grass is greener than you think.
