Get Clear On Your Thoughts

Posted on May 20, 2025

With clarity you have calm. Clarity can also bring energy and enthusiasm.

A great way to get mental clarity is by writing down your thoughts. By writing, we bring structure and cohesion to all those ideas in our head. We can also review our points and see where our thinking might be out of alignment with what we thought our thinking might be.

Buy a journal or primary school notepad and get writing your thoughts out today. In a week or two, you’ll be noticing the greater clarity of your thoughts.

Eat Better

Posted on May 19, 2025

You may have never thought too much about what you are eating, how much you are eating or when you are eating. And unless you’ve had mouth, throat, stomach or bowel challenges, you may not have really considered what the food and drink you consume is doing to you.

Take this moment to reflect on these points. Consider if what you are eating is fuelling your body in the best possible way. Do certain foods not agree with you? Do they make you gassy, bloated or tired?

Just like you wouldn’t put diesel in a petrol car, consider whether what you are eating is right for your body.

In addition, the amount you put in your petrol tank is important. I’m guessing here, but I assume you have never over-filled your tank such that you had petrol all over the station forecourt. So I would suggest not filling your stomach more than its relaxed capacity.

I find it incredible how few calories one actually needs in today’s move-less society. We think we need three meals a day, probably with pudding for at least one of them. Yet we don’t. The 2,000 calories per day might have been more relevant in agrarian society but most people no longer need this level of daily fuel.

Assess what you eat and drink. Re-evaluate everything food related and make some slight changes from today. Your life will be better for it from today onwards.

Be Accountable

Posted on May 17, 2025

Make your plan. Write it on paper.

Then review your progress every week. Calculate your metrics, track what you’ve done, down to the very last detail. Be brutally honest.

If you’re really ambitious, and want to see results more quickly, then track every hour. This hyper focus, tracking and reviewing will skyrocket you to the top and have you achieving your goals in no time.

(“Review” is the 6th step in my book, Achieve Anything)

Hold yourself truly accountable and your success will be nearly unfathomable.

Read More Non-Fiction

Read more biographies, auto-biographies, history, and self-help. You can even read more religious, science and psychology books.

Start adding one every two months. Eight weeks to complete a book should be enough. You’ll learn so much about life, yourself and historical moments.

Fiction is fun but non-fiction can also be highly entertaining and very educational too.

Sacrifice For Your Ideal

Posted on May 7, 2025

Most people are only going to chase their dream up to the point where they are happy to sacrifice to attain it.

For most, if they have to sacrifice more than they are happy to, then they give up on their goal.

If it isn’t easy enough, most folks aren’t willing to put in more sacrifice to make it happen.

For example, you may want to lose 30 pounds but only if you don’t have to get more sleep, go to bed earlier, cut out most alcohol, evening meals/snacks, tasty foods and daily treats.

If that’s what you’ll have to do, many just go through the motions, don’t really track progress, make body type excuses and remain as heavy as they are.

They may try again later in the hopes they have developed better discipline or science has changed and they won’t have to make any of the above sacrifices to reach their goal.

Or they just go to the gym or to a personal trainer in hope that some activity 2-3x per week will make up for the excesses they won’t give up elsewhere.

This can go on for 3 years or even 20 years. It will continue until the desired outcomee or goal becomes more important than the sacrifices and true, consistent change required to make the goal or outcome become a reality.

So save yourself 20 years of not trying enough / trying and make the sacrifices required or realise your goal is a wish not must, and give up on it.

Get Different Results

Posted on April 21, 2025

If you want different results or outcomes, you will need to do things differently from before.

Are you even aware of what will need to be done differently?

Are you even willing to do the things differently, every day, even when you don’t want to?

Discipline. Sacrifice. Resilience.

You can live a better life if you choose to put the work in. Otherwise, expect more of what you’ve had.

Have You Written Out Your Wants?

Posted on April 19, 2025

Like a grocery list, you sit with pen and paper and look around and think about what it is you really would like.

Rather than jam and milk, you might think about a month in Peru in their summer, hiking the Inca trail, spending two weeks on a quiet beach on Zanzibar or walking part of the Great Wall of China.

You can write out the qualities of the perfect partner for you or the outline of the book you want to write. You might also note down the fitness level you would like to maintain in your 40s, 50s, and 60s.

It’s quite a powerful process to write these things out and bring them to life. You’ll feel better for the process. Then you can organise when and how you’ll do them. Then go and enjoy your dreams while you can.
