Why have rules or boundaries in life if they are not enforced? You might as well not have them. Chaos will eventually ensue but that is expected.
Having rules and boundaries and enforcing them occasionally or intermittently or inconsistently is another path to disaster. No one knows if they are true or worth respecting or if they can get away with things.
Again chaos will ensue.
Have sensible rules and boundaries and enforce them. That is the ideal way to go.
100 billion people have lived on Earth. To know everything about everyone of their lives would take 100 billion lifetimes. That could be somewhere around 2 trillion years.
Even to know a little bit about 20 friends and family takes many hours, days, months or even years of spending time with them.
Perhaps it’s best to limit the amount you know about all these people in the world, especially people you have never even met.
Think about it. Spend the time on your life, not finding out everything about others.
If you help people it can be a blessing. However, help can hinder the person’s personal development, self-esteem and confidence.
Helping often seems like the right thing to do. But, it isn’t always right, if there is a growth opportunity in sight.
Food is a fuel, not entertainment. Use the best fuel you can by eating natural foods. Anything processed is obviously not natural.
Walk a fair bit. It’s a nice thing to do. Fresh air, movement, and sunshine are fabulous for your health and staying trim.
Develop good habits now. If you do, you’ll find staying fit quite easy over time.
Things are, events happen and situations occur. Sometimes we want things to be different and they aren’t. A real superpower is to be able to live with any outcome without batting an eye.
Acceptance is a critical skill to keep stress at bay and not waste time on things you can’t control.
A lot of times you get a feeling. Usually it’s a good idea if you follow the advice your body is giving.
There are so many benefits to planning ahead. It will save you time and money. It also saves you energy and allows people to take full advantage of great opportunities.
Like a Boy Scout: be prepared.
The magic is often in the actual planning itself. You will recognise bottlenecks in advance and see how things work well before they need to.
Go on. Draw out your treasure map for the future. Plan ahead.
Great conversations find common ground. If both parties look for things they have in common, most often they will realise that there are very few things they actually disagree with.
If you begin with the belief you are miles apart, on all the issues, then you probably will be. Our minds tend to prove beliefs we hold.
But if you believe you probably have a lot more in common than you think, your brain will seek out those common points. And often you’ll find that it is true.
First of all, protect them physically. For example, use protective eyewear and ear defenders more often than you may think you need to.
Secondly, protect them from visual and audio that does not bring you joy, isn’t positive and doesn’t improve your life. Many people try to influence you with pictures, videos and podcasts or broadcasts and you must be mindful that you are not being brought on a suspicious journey.
Find praise and appreciation. Look for positive and respectful conversations. Seek future oriented and helpful people.
If you can be organised and keep files and rooms tidy, you will be happier for it.
Pay someone to help you get, or stay, on top of it.
You’ll free your mind and be able to find things easily.
