Hard Work And Luck

Posted on March 8, 2023

These both look the same. The results can lull you into a false sense of comfort and expectation.

Being a millionaire may have come from hard work as an employee or a business builder. But you could have also simply won the lottery. In both cases you can enjoy or show off your wealth. No one needs to know how you got it.

However, you’ll know how you got it. And one route is vastly more likely to have eventual success than the other.

So start off with hard work and if you get a lucky break along the way, enjoy it.

Who Carries The Blame Carries The Power

Posted on March 6, 2023

If you blame the government for your situation, you give them the power over your life. When you say your friend is to blame for your lack of success, you are acknowledging the significant influence they have on you.

When you take personal responsibility for where you are going, you give yourself the power to get there. Now get going!

Why Bother?

Posted on February 22, 2023

Many times you may see a chore, especially a repetitive one, and think, why bother. It can be easy to dismiss things. Yet, these can be important for structure in your day, health and cleanliness, benefit to others or even to give you purpose.

It can be easy to dismiss things like admin, cleaning or tidying. But they mount up and compound. Then you can get into even bigger trouble.

Learn to be tidier. It’s a skill you can gradually develop and is useful throughout your life.

Bother to do things. It builds discipline, self-esteem, confidence and even pride. Your life will be richer for it.

Ocean Or Lake?

Posted on February 19, 2023

On which type of water would you prefer to live? Oceans are vast, powerful, teaming with life. Lakes are often more quiet, serene.

Or perhaps neither and just have a pool. Fresh water chlorinated or salt water? What do you really want in your life?

Learn To Use Your Phone Better

Posted on February 13, 2023

Your phone is an incredible piece of technology. Wow! Yet, I would guess that most of us haven’t learned as much as we could, or should, about all the amazing things it can do.

Take 3 minutes today and read through the tech specs of your phone. Next week (or tomorrow if you’re keen), set up, or use, a function you thought was interesting. Do this every day or once a week.

By the end of 2023, you will be more productive and amazed at all the things these little devices can truly do.

For example, how much do you use your assistant, like Siri, on the iPhone? Get Siri to call people, look up stuff – without having to type it out, or dictate a note, message or email as you walk or drive. Fabulous!

Your Health

Posted on February 11, 2023

The most important asset you have is your health. Be mindful and take care of it. Properly! Avoid cutting corners.

Learn how to sleep like a bear. Be physically active. Develop your resilience skills. Be aware of what you eat and drink. This will have more impact on your quality of life than nearly anything else. It will impact your look, how you feel, your self esteem, a great deal of illnesses you could develop and other mental health issues.

Take it seriously. Get properly aware. Become a disciplined person. Then enjoy it all.

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.
