Come on! It’s time to celebrate.
Sometimes you just need good friends gathered to have a lovely time. Even in dark days, tough times or a lonesome road ahead, getting up and getting out to have a chat and a laugh can work wonders for your mindset and your health.
If you’re in it together and can appreciate how good your life is, even in difficult circumstances, you’ll at least enjoy the moment. And that’s all we have. Moments.
Lots of thoughts come into our heads. But which are our real dreams and which are simply ideas that have occurred to us but we aren’t in love with them.
Sift through these ideas. Dismiss the merely interesting ones. Grab the one or two that lift your soul and make a smile on your face. Those are the dreams.
Now take at least one step right now to progress toward them.
Your outcomes will change when you start changing your thoughts and actions and then do so consistently.
What if you could achieve anything you wanted to in life? What would you do? Which journey would you take? Which outcome would you desire?
What if it all came true? How would that make you feel? Enjoy that feeling. Breathe it in. Smile. It’s yours.
Can this really happen? Yes it can. You just need to follow a few simple steps. Seven simple steps actually. Apply them properly and stick with them. Then you really will achieve your dreams!
For more detail, go to Amazon and pick up a copy of my bestselling book, Achieve Anything. It walks you through the 7 simple steps so you can win. I want you to win! So here’s a great deal for you!
The ebook is FREE for a few days, all around the world, on Amazon and many other online retailers. So grab a copy for yourself, your parents, your kids or a friend – it could be life changing for all of you.
And there’s something extra from Amazon if you’re in the UK. They’ve got a massive sale on the hardcover at 60% off. It’s even 40% cheaper than the paperback. And of course there is the audiobook. It’s even read by the author himself! (If you’d like a free audiobook, and aren’t an Audible member already, get in touch and I’ll send you a link)
Make the book your Black Friday treat. Or grab a few for Christmas gifts ?. Save money and get some items ticked off the list. Brilliant.
Proud facts: Right now, in all of Canada, my book is #32 in Happiness and #42 in Motivational Self-Help. In the whole of the USA it is #15 in Happiness and #31 in Motivational Self-Help. And in the UK my book is #35 in Self-Help. (I’ll post the screen shots on my Instagram @Scottsthinking).
So if you want to boost your happiness, get motivated or help yourself to a better life, what are you waiting for?! Fill your boots. And tell your friends. Keep dreaming, “What if?”
Keep your eyes open and your imagination running to really spot the numerous opportunities that cross your path each day. Many opportunities are not completely obvious. Some of them need to be looked at in a different way. Train your mind to see what isn’t already there but rather what could be.
Smile while you say it too. It’s so easy to do. The phrase is nice, uplifting and makes people feel good. Spread the cheer from ear to ear. Say “Good Morning”.
Engage in battle with an argument to the death? Or you could shrug and walk away. Sometimes it’s just easier to move along and let the other person live in their own bubble. Try it. It may save your sanity.
Be kind. Speak well of others. Help people out.
Cuddled up under a blanket on a comfy couch in front of a warm fire can be a lovely place to be as the cooler weather settles in.
The red embers and flames flicking higher provide visual entertainment for the eyes while the heat calms and soothes.
The warm and cosy feeling can bring about deep relaxation in moments and often leads to an enjoyable afternoon nap.
Enjoy it when you can.
“Obviously, she was thinking that….” How is it that we think we are so good at mind reading other people? Oftentimes people express what is on their mind and project it onto others.
Many people make a snap decision and then build a case around their view of the story. “He’s innocent!” And if he really is, then the police, prosecutor, witnesses etc are the real bad people.
They are often afraid to see what the reality could be, especially if they would be seen as taking the view of the other side compared to their usual orientation.
Think about this next time you create a story around something, or hear someone else do it. Where are the facts? Where did the story comes from? Are there elements that have probably been made up to fill in some space and make it more exciting or believable?
Stop yourself next time, especially if you’re making up negative points. Create lovely stories if you’re going to make stuff up.
