There are always opportunities to learn a few things. Sometimes you don’t even notice the opportunity. So keep your eye out to try to find those moments that you otherwise might miss.

Worthwhile Not Easy
Make it one not the other when needing to make a decision on things.
Our brains naturally tend to seek easy things rather than hard things. This makes sense on a survival basis.
However, go for things that are worthwhile. Yes a candy bar is easy but a banana is worthwhile. It will do more for you in the long run.
Avoiding Work Is Avoiding Opportunity
It is easy to dismiss work as hard, boring, dirty, tiring or dismal. This is not a helpful way to look at things. Check yourself if this is the only way you see work, as you may lean to the negative, which you may want to adjust.
Work can also be interesting, fun, enjoyable, creative, confidence-building and energising.
How you see it is in part how you see things generally and also what it is. You can change what you do and you can change how you see things, so don’t delay in making some changes.
Off The Grid
Sometimes it makes sense to go off the grid. Spend a month totally focused on eat, sleep, work. Make some massive gains in your business, family, relationship, finances or health.
It’s only 30 days. It’s a small price to pay to make rapid and massive gains. Try it.
Make Plans And Follow Them
Not making plans can lead to disaster, or at least a less fulfilling life. Making plans and not following them could be quite frustrating as you neglect your dreams and don’t reach your own expectations.
If you have an exciting vision, make a plan to get there and follow the plan, you are very likely to achieve it. Now go give it a try!
Things Change
Sometimes things don’t go as planned. Things change and you need to adapt. It can be good change, or less so, but either way you are on a new path. Make the most of every change.
Free Speech
Most people will recognise far left and far right propaganda and nonsense. Some won’t though.
However, we need to allow all voices the opportunity to speak out. Unless they are breaking a hate speech law in the country, we must let people speak.
I don’t enjoy hearing certain perspectives, but they have a right to speak. If enough people think it makes sense, their philosophy may win the day. That is the way it goes. The best ideas win.
Listen to what people want. Most people want very similar things. Oftentimes people can’t communicate what they want or they misunderstand what others are trying to say.
Go listen to people holding different views than you: True diversity. Listen to what they say, not what you think they would say.
Be Confident And Go After Your Dreams!
Decide to be confident. Remind yourself of all you’ve done in life so far. It’s actually quite a lot.
Focus on some bigger plans and get to work. As you do, your conscience will also grow. In addition, your dreams will get closer to completion too.
Plan Forward
Look a day, week, year and even a decade ahead. Make a plan and follow it.
On Your Merit
Aim to be hired on your merit. Yes, it’s expedient to be hired based on other things, but it will never be as pleasing and will rarely make you proud.
You’ll feel better about yourself if you come second on your merits than first by having some strings pulled.
