It’s Mother’s Day in the UK. It might be the same where you are reading this. Even if it isn’t, call your Mum.

It Seemed Important…
In the here and now, many things seem important. And some of it is. But think ahead 5 years and think about how important it will seem after 1,700+ days have passed.
Good events and bad moments will get lost in the mix. Some will be remembered but most will disappear from sight.
Try to look at things like that. By this, I mean perspective. It’s rarely as bad as you think.

Help People Up, Don’t Tear People Down
Focusing on negative aspects and the 2% of people that cause harm rather than the 98% that are neutral, or lift people up, is crazy.
There is no need to tear people down, call them names, or become hostile. They may have a different life philosophy to you, see things a bit differently to you based on their experiences in life or have a different political preference, but that is ok.
Live and let live. They have come by their views just as you have come by yours. For all but a few radical outliers, we can still get along despite our different perceptions.
And it’s a lot easier to get along if people haven’t called you names, shunned you or left you in fear for your health.
You don’t have to become a cheerleader, but please be decent in your discussions.

Good News Should Be Savoured

Start Improving
If you should be doing something, then do it. If others remind you, thank them, and do it. Stop making their life miserable for helping and yours less wonderful for not doing what you need to do.

Hard Work And Luck
These both look the same. The results can lull you into a false sense of comfort and expectation.
Being a millionaire may have come from hard work as an employee or a business builder. But you could have also simply won the lottery. In both cases you can enjoy or show off your wealth. No one needs to know how you got it.
However, you’ll know how you got it. And one route is vastly more likely to have eventual success than the other.
So start off with hard work and if you get a lucky break along the way, enjoy it.

Who Carries The Blame Carries The Power
If you blame the government for your situation, you give them the power over your life. When you say your friend is to blame for your lack of success, you are acknowledging the significant influence they have on you.
When you take personal responsibility for where you are going, you give yourself the power to get there. Now get going!

Help Yourself
Life has a lot to offer. But it’s mostly self serve. If you don’t see what you would like, simply ask. They may keep some items in the back for the special people who ask.
