What may be a little sacrifice to you, may mean the whole world to someone else. Giving up your comfort for someone else can be a real challenge. But once you do, you grow as a person. You realise what you can do without and how you can persevere. A lot of good can come from just one giving action.
Leave at the height of the party. Disappear at the top of your game. Keep them curious. Leave them wanting more. This strategy can buy you more time in life and be quite a good way to keep people looking forward to seeing you the next time.
Carve out a little corner of your day to get some me time just for you. Maybe you need a whole day away or even an overnight stay. Whatever it is you need to get some space and time, you should book it in. Sometimes it seems like the wrong time but more often than not, you’ll be glad you did it!
Remember, to lie you have to know the correct answer, believe it is correct and then say something else.
Just because someone has a different opinion to you, does not mean they are lying. They just see it differently.
Focus on 1 or 2 things at a time. Discipline yourself to say no to new things if they do not absolutely move your goals forward. Time is at a premium. Don’t waste it on anything that doesn’t improve your life through joy or wealth.
In the face of hardship, it’s the one helpful thing you can do.
Most people don’t dig too far down. There isn’t time, even if there is sufficient interest. So who ever creates the headline, creates the narrative.
Sometimes you have it and sometimes you don’t. Practice.
If someone wrote your biography and turned it into a movie, would people watch with interest? Would it lift people up and inspire them to greatness? Or would it be a warning to others to avoid this route at all costs?
Now that you’re thinking about it, you could actually do something about it. If it looks like a positive role model story, well done, keep going! However, if it has flashing red lights and warning labels all over it, perhaps rethink the plan for the next five years and start turning things around.
You can’t force things to be how they were in the past. Accept the change. Direct the future. Live with the new reality.
