I can sometimes just keep going. There is always just one more thing to do. However, there comes a time you need to say enough is enough and go to sleep.

The Trouble With Freedom
The trouble is, it sounds great! But you have to be responsible for yourself now, because no one is doing anything for you. You are free to thrive but you are also free to diminish and decline.
People want success and think it will come with untethered freedom. They don’t realise the opposite will be the case without care and attention to the critical matters at hand.
Freedom means you are fully responsible and many people just aren’t ready for that.

Find Your Feet
When starting something new, take time to find your feet. Remain patient. Look for little wins.

Learn Something
There are always opportunities to learn a few things. Sometimes you don’t even notice the opportunity. So keep your eye out to try to find those moments that you otherwise might miss.

Who Has Your Attention?
Guaranteed you are paying attention to someone or something, a person or a group. Have you thought much about this? Did you think through what they are saying, why they are saying it and what impact it is having on your life?
For example, if you follow sports closely, do you have a favourite team or player? What do they stand for or represent? Do they make you a better person? In whose eyes?
People usually think the people they follow are the best. This is true for sports teams, religions, political parties, authors, schools and even fishing clubs.
If you are interested in the greater good, for you and others, it may not matter as much who you follow as what positive influence you’re getting from it.
However, if you drop a notch and only want the greatest good for your group (not the population at large), then that is where division starts and troubles begin and it may even lead to conflict.
Groups and associations can be great. They are not all equally good. So be mindful about how much you rely on them being the only way with the correct information. You can get good information anywhere. Make sure you don’t fall for second tier info from a top tier source.

Worthwhile Not Easy
Make it one not the other when needing to make a decision on things.
Our brains naturally tend to seek easy things rather than hard things. This makes sense on a survival basis.
However, go for things that are worthwhile. Yes a candy bar is easy but a banana is worthwhile. It will do more for you in the long run.

Avoiding Work Is Avoiding Opportunity
It is easy to dismiss work as hard, boring, dirty, tiring or dismal. This is not a helpful way to look at things. Check yourself if this is the only way you see work, as you may lean to the negative, which you may want to adjust.
Work can also be interesting, fun, enjoyable, creative, confidence-building and energising.
How you see it is in part how you see things generally and also what it is. You can change what you do and you can change how you see things, so don’t delay in making some changes.

RFK Jr Huge Decision
Incredible speech given Friday to endorse Trump for President. It’s 49 minutes long. Listen to it. He says what the media would never tell you.
The Democrats seem to have been trying everything to win by eliminating the competition (Trump and RFK Jr) rather than stating policies and providing action plans.
Link to X for Kennedy speech. https://x.com/scottgregory1/status/1827120900417675743?s=46&t=5Z3UeGI9eqL2osefLya6jQ

Off The Grid
Sometimes it makes sense to go off the grid. Spend a month totally focused on eat, sleep, work. Make some massive gains in your business, family, relationship, finances or health.
It’s only 30 days. It’s a small price to pay to make rapid and massive gains. Try it.

Make Plans And Follow Them
Not making plans can lead to disaster, or at least a less fulfilling life. Making plans and not following them could be quite frustrating as you neglect your dreams and don’t reach your own expectations.
If you have an exciting vision, make a plan to get there and follow the plan, you are very likely to achieve it. Now go give it a try!
