Be curious and investigate. The more you immerse yourself into a topic, the more success you’ll have. The devil, and the success, is in the details.

Wanting Versus Willing
So you think you want to change. Great!! This could be a great adventure and get you to the life you dream of.
However, wanting to change, to have a different outcome, doesn’t mean you’re willing to change.
You have to be willing to change, and not just willing if someone else encourages you, sets it out for you or forces you. You have to say goodbye to the old you, burn the boats, and dive in to this new you. You have to be completely committed to this new you and don’t look back with fear or longing.
When you willingly make a change, you will find success. You will commit to the process and the new outcome. Wave goodbye to the old you. You’re never going back.

Find The Positive
It’s easy to find the negative in pretty much anything. Now make your brain work a little harder. Find the positive in everything.
Why?
First, while you’re busy looking for positive things to say, your brain will be too busy to notice the negative things. Secondly, by looking for the positive, you’ll create a habit for yourself and looking for the positive will get easier and become default normal.
Thirdly, you’ll soon be a happier person overall and everyone you know will notice the wonderful difference.

Be A Cheerleader For Your Spouse
If nothing else, this is a minimum. Always say the best things to them to support them. Encourage them. Help them shine.
Tell your kids about their greatness. Remind your friends of their better side and all the good things.
This is what our partners need and what we need in return.
The more you do this, the more you’ll realise what a wonderful person you have and how lucky you are. The opposite is also true.
It’s the same person but the more you appreciate them, the better they seem. And vice versa. Your choice.
After many years, the outcome of those choices can be very different.

Keep Calm And Knock Firmly
This is what you do when you are accidentally locked out of your own house. Long story, but after an extra long day of work, I arrived home in the wee hours and could not get in.
I was texting, calling, FaceTiming, WhatsApp-ing, knocking and a variety of other things. Note to self, doorbell needs new batteries!
After 30 minutes, with my patience waning, and the cold was locked into my hands and feet, and moving higher, I tried one last firm knocking beat on the front window…
With no discernible difference inside, I turned to go sleep in the car or find a hotel room for the remainder of the night. But then voilá. My lovely wife appeared at the door and sweetly let me in.
Keep calm and knock firmly saves the day!
