The Best Time to Be Alive. Ever.

What an incredible time to be alive. The basic living in most westernised countries is better than even kings and queens had prior to the 20th century.

Fresh water. Peace. Food variety and abundance. Smartphones and all they can do and access. Healthcare and the ability to cure and postpone death. Travel ease with cars, Ubers, airplanes and soon spaceships. Flushing toilets. Fridges and freezers.

Social mobility is easier than ever. The playing field is the most even it has ever been. It will never be perfect and sometimes you’re going to have speed bumps, but, oh my. This is soo much better than even the 18th century, never mind the sixth century and all of the others.

Accountability

If you’re looking for someone or something to blame, start by looking in the mirror. You probably had something to do with it.

The sooner you can recognise that you often create the environment or situation that you’re complaining about, the sooner you can adjust your behaviour or attitude and improve the whole situation.

No need to act like an entitled, perfect, victim. You do things that irritate people and situations. Own up to it and make some basic adjustments.

Everyone can breathe easier after this and they will all get along much better going forward.

Routine

If your new goals can help you develop a solid daily routine, you’ll increase your chances of reaching your goals.

Set up your environment to win. Plan and schedule with calendars and alarms. Prepare your tools and resources the day before. It sounds so simple. It is so simple.

Put some effort in and you will reach beyond the stars!

Push Yourself

Don’t let yourself off easy. Push yourself to reach your stated goals. Get up an hour earlier. Say no to the night of fun and stay in and plan your week and save your money.

Do the right thing. Not the most pleasurable immediate thing. Pleasure doesn’t mean you’ll be happy. And often pleasure comes with some corresponding pain – drinking with hangover, speeding with ticket, entertainment with loss of purpose.

Make yourself the best person you could imagine. Push yourself past the pain, the sacrifice, the complaining and the challenges. Become Unstoppable.

Change

Change, especially that which you need to work on, is rarely easy. But if you succeed, it will be well worth the effort.

It just doesn’t feel like it yet.

Keep going. Stay committed. 100%. (Not 70%, or when you feel like it).

It gets better with each win. Enjoy that feeling.

Tell Yourself The Truth

You need to assess the brutal facts of reality or you’ll find yourself stuck in Groundhog Day for years.

Be honest with yourself. Be fair with yourself too. If you are super tough on yourself, you will not feel very good about it. You are not trying to destroy yourself or your self confidence. But you need to be objective, realistic and fair in order to properly assess things. Only once you know where you are, can you draw the map to where you want to get to.

Write

Write things down. Write out your plans and activities, your dreams and desires. Write your goals.

When you do this put the full date on the page. Years from now you’ll be amazed at what you wrote.

Adore Your Spouse

Adore them every day. Let them know through words and touch, throughout the day and evening. Let them enjoy being adored each day.

For one day, they may be gone, or perhaps you will have passed and not be able to adore them anymore. Both are sad and unfortunate outcomes. So focus your efforts on today and makes sure they feel loved throughout the entire day.

They will never forget that feeling. Or you for giving it to them.

Appreciate More

Is there something in your life, or the world in general, that you could appreciate more? Do you appreciate the clothes you are wearing right now? I wonder if you’ve even thought about them much in the past, or just taken them for granted.

What else do you take for granted? There are probably many things you would notice if they disappeared but don’t even consider on a day to day basis. I’m thinking about the water you drink, the toilet you flush, your toothpaste, being able to walk, your vocabulary, your housing and your job.

The more you can be thankful, grateful for, and appreciate, all the small and large things in your life, the happier and more attractive you will become.

It would be very unusual to be so full of gratitude and not be found more attractive by other people. You would probably be radiating charm and enthusiasm for life. Try it and see!
