We don’t need to know how you got here. We do need to decide where to go from here.
Sometimes people will spend two hours explaining how they got into a mess or a situation. Usually, what would be more helpful is spending that two hours devising a plan to move forward.
Focus on building a brilliant future. Then get on with it.
Stop coasting. You may be drifting or having an easy life. But it’s time to snap out of it and start putting some extra effort in.
Make hay while the sun shines. You won’t be young and healthy forever so get that income while you can. Build your emergency fund. Pay down debt. Feel better about your personal awareness and control of the situation.
You will develop a greater sense of pride and confidence. Build on that. Take your life to the next level. Do that by just getting started and making things happen.
It will take longer than you want or think. But it needn’t take forever. You must get started. You must also drive hard. You can do it if you try and have the intent to win.

Stop guessing. Stop believing what you hear or read. Question it. Get the facts. Get details. Look at it from the opposing view. Understand motivations.
Use the internet to find actual data. Don’t just look at studies. If you do, look at who paid for them. Then see what facts the opposing view use. Facts. Not opinions. Not shouting. No, not even name calling. If people have facts, they will not need to raise their voice, nor call you names or change the subject.
If people are curious to find the truth, they will join you to try to use facts to find it. If they simply want to thrust their narrative onto you, they will not want to look up data, statistics and facts.
Don’t waste your time with ignorant folks. Spend it with people trying to make things better. It’s more fun and more rewarding.
What have you got? Have you stopped to take stock? Is it your health? Wealth? Relationships? Is it a particular skill, career, or lifestyle?
Sometimes it is good to stop for 5 minutes and remind ourselves how good we have it. This is especially important if we’re ploughing through some really difficult moments.
After 1,000 blog posts, today seems like any other day. It was a great milestone to achieve and I celebrated the moment but now life goes on.
You can understand how astronauts, Olympians, professional athletes and big stars can have some mental health challenges when their time at the top is all over.
Once you’ve walked on the moon or flown in space, how does everyday life compare? It’s as good as it gets. And then it’s over. Then you need to find joy and appreciation in other things. Everyday life is simple. Enjoy its simplicity.
Thank you to all those who sent me congratulations on the 1,000 blog post milestone. I’m grateful for your encouragement and support.
Pygmalion has a soft spot in my heart. Probably since I read the play in my teens after finding my Mom’s Secondary School copy in the house.
So a few weeks ago I saw that a production was playing at a local theatre in Hampton Hill and I booked tickets for the family.
It was a Wednesday night and finished late but I wanted to take my wife and kids to it. So that’s what happened.
Despite some initial reluctance, it all went well. It was a very enjoyable performance!
It’s on for a few more nights. Get tickets here. https://www.hamptonhilltheatre.org.uk/production/pygmalion
The theme relates very well to my #1 bestselling book Achieve Anything. Perhaps that’s another reason why I like it!
Try something different. Your world might shift.
Do you charge straight in? Or do you reflect a little before, create a strategy and consider outcomes? Will you expect to win or just see how it goes?
Prepare your mind to win. Think like a winner. Believe like a champion. Expect the best result. Imagine all the events that need to happen for your ultimate success. Practice in your mind. Train your brain.
Smile. You’re prepared.
What are the three things you most want to get done tomorrow? Write these down clearly. What outcome would you most like when it is time to fall asleep again at the end of tomorrow.?
If you can move these three key things forward in your day, you are achieving a lot. Anything else you get done beyond that is a bonus. But at least you’ll have completed three things that are important in your life.
Do this everyday and you will see great improvements in your life over 3, 6 and 12 months. Good luck!
Remember: You can achieve anything. If you want to win more, pick up my bestselling book, Achieve Anything, on Amazon and start winning today! It is currently on sale – Thank you Amazon.
You need to spend one or the other. Which will it be?
Do you value your time more than money? Or money more than time? Will you stand in a long queue to buy a cheaper item? Or do you just say no or pick it up elsewhere?
