Discredit

Posted on September 17, 2023

The number one weapon of people with no viable argument is to discredit someone. They are unable to address the precise issue head on and stick to that. They aim to discredit the person to win the argument rather than use sound facts or relevant information. This is usually because they don’t have a strong, or any, case.

If this happens, remind the person to remain on topic. You can also remind them that you’d prefer that they not engage in personal attacks or make this personal. If they continue, discontinue the conversation as clearly they are less interested in discussing the point or feel they have lost the argument so they try to drag you down in some form.

What Are You Reading?

Posted on September 12, 2023

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

Posted on September 11, 2023

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.

Do Things Before You’re Asked

Posted on September 8, 2023

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?

Fashions Come And Go

Posted on September 2, 2023

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!?

Posted on September 1, 2023

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?

Investigate The Opposite

Posted on August 27, 2023

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.
