Enjoy every minute of it. We must be present and focused as it is a rare delight.
We don’t know how many days we have left on this spinning globe so it’s best we squeeze every ounce of joy out of our moments together.

Playfulness
This is a fabulous personal characteristic to develop.
It’s a great skill to have. Your spouse will appreciate it, as will your children. As your parents age, they’ll appreciate it more as well.
Develop this skill as soon as you can and continue to build on it through the years.

Challenge Your Current Identity
Being honest with yourself, what are your current core attributes? Are you athletic? Do you think you’re great with numbers? Would you describe your current self as slim, solid, or obese? Are you funny?
Write down 10-15 descriptive words about your current self. Then, write down 10-15 words you would prefer to be known by. Post these words by your bed. Read them out several times per day.
Keep reading them out several times per day. Notice which words make you flinch or cringe. Then dig down deep into why that is. Figure out how to make future you acceptable to your consciousness.
Enjoy your daily transformation!

Dream Bigger
They call it a dream for a reason. It’s meant to inspire you and excite your senses.
People don’t generally dream of going on a 3,000 mile donkey ride. However, one might dream of driving a very fancy car, staying in a castle or flying on a private jet.
Others may dream of owning or running a very lucrative and successful business. Some people dream of peace, winning in sporting events or having a very large income.
Whatever your dream is, make it a little bigger, work a little harder to get there, and make it a reality.

More Than Enough
When do people realise they have more than enough? If they didn’t waste so much on luxury items, trips, gambling and other non-investment activities, they could retire in peace. Maybe they could do it earlier than they ever considered.
Sit down with pen and paper and get your thoughts churning. Review your income, your savings, pension and investments. Look out 20, 30 and 40 years and see what you could have if you focused.

10 Years
What seems impossible in one year could be totally possible in 10 years. Being at the top of your sport, industry, or craft in just one year is highly unlikely. However, if you put 10 grinding and effective years of work in, to training and honing your skills, you certainly could be at the top.
You can build a billion dollar business in 10 years. Go from being 10 years old and dreaming of playing in the NHL, NBA, MLB, or Premier League and in 10 years, at the age of 20, be playing for your favourite team! The Beatles were only together for 10 years and look how well they did!
What if you dedicated the next 10 years to personal growth, systems and structures? What could you accomplish, achieve, create?
10 years…. You could achieve anything.

Down Time
Enjoy a bit of time all too yourself. Be sure to carve it out and hold that time in your day. Otherwise, you’ll work, sort out kids, parents, friends, do admin, side hustle, charity work and that Board you’re on and forget, or run out of time, for you.
Guard your down time!
