Smile At The Peace

Posted on February 8, 2023

You know that moment you’re sitting there and nothing is really happening? That’s the moment. Just smile and enjoy that moment.

You’re alive. That’s what it’s all about.

You might not realise how amazing that moment is, but let me tell you. You were born. That stat in itself is amazing. You haven’t died yet. That is quite impressive! (More impressive if you have and you were still able to read that line).

You’re not at war or being gunned down. Your home is not up in flames. I could list all the things not happening in your moment. But the point is, smile at how ridiculously fortunate you are at this moment. Unbelievable.

Look Stupid Or Become Stupid

Posted on February 5, 2023

If you’re not willing to risk looking stupid, or even just wrong, then you are likely to eventually become stupid, or often wrong.

If you don’t put your hand up in class and ask your question, or possibly give the wrong answer, you won’t learn as much. If you don’t learn as much you run with a less well-informed crowd. Then you might slowly stop questioning, discussing, debating or considering ideas.

Your mental agility will dull and you might retreat from society a little. Then a little more. Now you definitely don’t want to look stupid because you have enough challenges in your life. You don’t need to reduce your confidence, self esteem or power group social standing unnecessarily.

Be willing to look stupid. It’s a much smarter path to follow.

Be Aware Of What Influences You

Posted on February 4, 2023

Things you read, hear, watch, see, smell and touch can influence what you ultimately think. Is studying medicine scary or yucky? Or is it exciting and helpful? What is the reason why you think this way?

Think Through The Options

Posted on January 30, 2023

Look at A, B and C. Consider the upside and downsides. Write this out in the most clear way. Review it twice. Show a few people and consider their feedback and comments.

Where are the risks? How will you mitigate them? Make a decision and go for it!

Listen More.

Posted on January 28, 2023

Sure you’re smarter, better educated and have more experience. But that also gives you biases, blind spots and sometimes a dismissive overconfidence. Other times you might just be defending your position or that of your tribe.

Are you looking for solutions? Are you looking for improvement? Are you willing to be given insight that you were not aware of, missed. Or overlooked?

it’s time to listen more. You’ll be better for it.

Try Different Angles

Posted on January 24, 2023

When you want something, try different angles to make it work out. There might only be one way to do something but that is rarely the case. You may have to use your imagination and get creative in what you do.

For example, if you want to meet someone in an office setting and you can’t reach them on their direct line, try calling the receptionist. Or call their secretary. Alternatively you could trying calling their unit head, office manager, colleague or even CEO.

If calling isn’t working, try sending an email, a letter in the post, use LinkedIn or other social media accounts, or go to their office. There are many ways to make things happen. Sometimes you need to try several different options before you find success. If you keep trying different avenues, options, timing and tones, you greatly increase your probability of success.

So be sure to try different angles.

When Life Changes

Posted on January 23, 2023

You need to adjust when life changes. If you get a diagnosis, your body changes, or there are external factors, you will need to change the way you do things.

You may have to change your diet, medical interventions, pills, exercise, route to work or your whole life!

Regardless, we are adaptable if we want to be. And we will survive. So start adjusting.

Could You Do More In Your Day?

Posted on January 14, 2023

I bet you could. Stop scrolling, watching tv or chatting about whatever. Pick a topic, learn about it and then start to create a business with it. You’re not creating IBM overnight. But you will build a small company, learn a lot and maybe even build a bigger company eventually.

Do more of the things that get you closer to your goals and do less faffing around. You will love your progress.
