Level Up

If things aren’t quite how you want them, it may be you that needs to level up.

You just need to learn to play at this new level.

Personal growth is often painful but ultimately worth it.

Push Yourself

When you exercise, push yourself. Go at it harder than you want to. Go to the edge of pain. Get out of your comfort zone. Sweat.

Same with work and studying. Also with admin and in business. Push yourself harder than you currently do. You can do more. You’re just being a little reticent, reserved or lazy.

Let’s go!

Dream, Research, Plan, Execute.

Use this four step process to reach your exciting dreams. These are the very basic steps.

It does take some effort to think things through and to write it all down. The writing helps you hone in on the specific detail.

Take 60 minutes every month and review this plan. You should add new dreams to it then too.

Go on! Dream a little.

Write Down Your Dreams

Get creative. Remember your childhood dreams. Think of new dreams. Write all of these down.

Get them in some sort of priority order. Perhaps start with the easiest to achieve. Then the least expensive to most expensive. You definitely want a list of things that are to do before I am unable to.

Start mapping these dreams out on a calendar. Things you’ll do this year go on there now and the rest get years and months written next to each item.

Get these dropped into your life. Then work like heck to make each one happen.

Whoosh!!!!!!

Just over 5 years ago I started writing a daily blog. I set out to work every day for one year. I wasn’t sure I’d get through three months.

But I set it in my head that every day I just had to do this one thing. Some have been long and some have been short. Regardless, I have always done one. Every. Single. Day. More than 1,830 days and therefore 1,830+ blog posts.

Whoosh. Five years can go by just like that.

Now, a few more plans are hatching for these next five years. And they’ve started…

Focus On You

If you focus on you and make your life the best it can possibly be (health, fitness, wealth, relationships and spiritual elements), you will be independent and happy. No one will need to come and save you.

But if you focus on others, and let your elements drift and become burdensome, then you’re going to need help from others. You don’t need to do that.

So focus on making your life better every day.

Remember To Stop

Too often things get taken too far. You can see this in so many different circumstances.

Often it is far better to enjoy the win and be content, then to seek more than you had originally wanted.

Here are some examples:

Having a few more snacks or cakes than you should. Eventually you’ve put on 3 stone.

Having a few too many drinks and waking up half way through the next day with a cracking hangover.

Putting a few little things on a credit card knowing you can’t pay off the balance. Then a few more. Soon you’re paying £1,000s in interest, yet lost interest in whatever you’re paying for.

Getting a club together to defend yourselves, like NATO, can sound like a good idea. Then after feeling quite secure, you keep adding more and more members. You feel more secure and confident but others may become more concerned and defensive.

There are many, many other examples from women’s rights (is equal enough?), unions (group v individual) and tech (how far is too far, like kissing a robot?), to buying shoes (Ms Marcos), and political coverups (it always starts small and then like a black hole, begins to engulf everything).

The key is to moderate and balance while checking the details frequently so matters don’t get out of control.

Review frequently and track progress. Don’t push things too far or you can do some damage (Like running further than you should). There is always pain after things are pushed too far. Better to stop things a little earlier than build up to a devastating situation.
