Minuscule Is Massive

Posted on September 27, 2024

Very small matters, matter quite a lot. A simple word can create a massive difference in understating.

Secondary schools have sex education not sex training. Yet both are concerned with the pupil learning about the topic.

Four millimetres doesn’t seem like that much space in this vast universe of ours, yet it is noticeable if someone’s eyeglasses are four millimetres higher on the left side than the right. It is also quite a significant distance when dealing with brain surgery, heart surgery or failed assassination attempts (thankfully).

What If?

Posted on September 26, 2024

What if you had made a written plan? What if you had sought out great specific advice? What if your plan was for the next 5 years and you started today?

What would you achieve? Imagine the results you could have if you committed fully and did not get distracted?

What if you looked back in 5 years and wished you’d given it a try? Take all that you feel and learned and make a new 5 year plan. Then start that very same day!

Dig Deep

Posted on September 23, 2024

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

Posted on September 22, 2024

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.

Groove Early

Posted on September 18, 2024

Get into your groove early in the day. Get ahead of the game. You also will have more day hours to get things done while others are awake and available and when offices are open.

Watch Classic Films

Posted on September 14, 2024

It’s great to see how far things have evolved – both people and tech. The norms of old have evolved too. Quite a few things were way more fun then. Certainly more relaxed in many cases.

Go back and watch the basic stories and see how simple they were. It was a lovely era of beginning.

Be Mindful Of Your Words

Posted on September 12, 2024

When you describe someone, be mindful how you do it. Is there room for interpretation or misunderstanding? What if some overheard you? Would they understand the context?

Sometimes people exaggerate in the moment. There are several reasons why. But check yourself before you announce someone has done one thing but you level them with a much harsher charge. That’s plain wrong.

What Are You For?

Posted on September 7, 2024

Knowing what you don’t like is easy. It’s a bit lazy and also garners some “cool” attribute. Bring a hater or “Can’t be Bothered” type gives off a too cool for school vibe. But does it get you anywhere?

It takes effort to think through what you are for, what you like or what you love. You also have to be able to accept the criticisms that will come your way for supporting something others don’t, don’t like or demean.

To become successful and a decent person, you should focus on what you are for.

Enjoy Your Summers!

Posted on September 2, 2024

Summer can be such a lovely time of year, depending on what your local weather pattern is like. I really enjoy summer. The heat is nice. So is going out in my shorts and a short-sleeved shirt.

When you think about it, you get about 75 summers, if you’re lucky. You may get 20 more, or 20 less. In addition, the first five to 10 years should have been great, but hard to remember.

Since I’ve had quite a few summers, I’ve got fewer left ahead of me. For this reason alone, I say, enjoy your summers!!!

The Trouble With Freedom

Posted on September 1, 2024

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.
