When Life Changes
You need to adjust when life changes. If you get a diagnosis, your body changes, or there are external factors, you will need to change the way you do things.
You may have to change your diet, medical interventions, pills, exercise, route to work or your whole life!
Regardless, we are adaptable if we want to be. And we will survive. So start adjusting.
Sleepy Eyes
Push through if you must, and it’s critical. Otherwise click the light and say goodnight.
Choices Can Paralyse
When there are too many choices, and you didn’t arrive with a specific one in mind, you can be paralysed with indecision.
Narrow it down quickly to three by selecting your favourites and/or deleting the least liked by you.
Make a list of all the benefits of those that remain. Best one wins!!
Seeking Perfection Is Detrimental
If only perfect people can be heroes and have statues built for them, we will have neither. The current push by some for perfect equality, perfect communication and perfect decisions is likely to destroy the humanity in society.
If people get cancelled, excommunicated, destroyed, and expelled for imperfect thoughts, actions and impulses, people will shrink into the shadows and take fewer chances with anything.
Play this out till the ultimate conclusion and there will only be a handful of hypocrites remaining as they wouldn’t dare cancel themselves. If you don’t see the game evolve several moves ahead, you will likely find that checkmate is in your future.
You Can Change
If you say you can’t, ask yourself why..is it pride, stubbornness, laziness, childlike petty resistance, other? Tell me in the comments.
Running On Fumes
We’ve all probably had those moments where we are shattered, almost beaten, exhausted and forlorn, yet we rose up and keep pushing through. Find your under strength, even if you’re running on fumes.
Making Mistakes
It happens. Accept where you are. Move on!
Don’t Stop
See your goal for 2023. What progress will you have made by the end of week two? Even if it’s just a little, don’t stop!
Help Your Mom And Dad
Help them when you’re 11 years old. And also help them when you’re 16, 23, 37, 58 and 72, and all other ages.
When you’re young, do the dishes, keep your room tidy, get good grades, and help pack the car. Help carry bags and lift things as well as sell stuff on eBay and fold the laundry well.
You’ll feel better for having done it when you’re older. You made a contribution. You appreciated them. Taking some of their burden can be a very big help. You might not realise how big.
When you’re older, you can fix things around the house, take them to doctors appointments or help declutter papers and things.
