Best For Who?
The greatest good. That is a great phrase.
Listening to some politicians and journalists, you might think they only want what is best for themselves or the party / media outlet they work for.
What happened to the greatest good? Was it ever there even?
Ideally we would have people working for the greatest good of the most people while allowing any others to still thrive.
Unfortunately we have a lot of, “my way is the only way” thinking and actions which demonstrate some people would rather destroy others than lose power or adjust philosophically to accommodate more people.
When this happens, two tribes go to war. If you’re at all in a warring camp, blinded by fear, hate, distrust and disproportionate criticism, then try to pull out of this before it goes any further.
It is often hard to see our own destructiveness and personal challenges, but look inward, and see how you can help balance conversations and act for the greatest good.

See The Plan Ahead
Like Ollie Watkins said, he and Palmer had a plan for Palmer to feed it to him and he’d put it in.
Plan it. See it. Do it.
Become a legend.

Play Fair
Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should. Play the game in the spirit of which it was intended, not how far you can bend the rules to your favour.
It’s nice to win. It is also nice to be the party in power. However, people don’t like being played or seeing things that truly seem unfair.
The pendulum swings harder and further to the other side when people try to keep it in their favour too long.
Enjoy your time at the top but learn how to let go and let the natural changes occur.

Rational Thought
Do not be led by fear. Some concern is fine but to assume that all negative or fear-based ideas will come true is unnecessary.
People say a lot of things. Ignore most of them. Also, understand their bias. They are probably trying to influence you for a reason. If they use facts, they are genuine. If they name-call, use fear or invoke strong negative emotion, they are playing you for a fool; and enjoying your naivety.

Invest In Your Future
Spend money on self improvement, education, courses and coaches.
Listen carefully and follow instructions. People are there to help and have been there before.
Investing in your future will pay many dividends as the years roll on.

Engage In Good Faith
When you engage in a discussion with someone, do so in good faith. Listen carefully. Don’t summarise what you want to believe they think, but rather, actually try asking for clarification.
“What is your position on x matter?”, is one way to do this. “Could you clarify what you mean by this?”, is another.
Too many people summarise someone’s position incorrectly and sometimes simply in bad faith. If you’re paying attention, and with reasonable cognitive ability, you understand what another person is saying.
Don’t be that person that takes everything out of context, pushes your own bias or makes sweeping generalisations.
The world would be a much lovelier place if people engaged with curiosity rather than animosity.
Many people are very sensible and are simply trying to find solutions that make sense to them. Allow that to breathe and investigate in good faith. The world needs more of this.

Rest Day
Remember to have a rest day. You need it for your mind, body and soul. Relax. Enjoy. Rejuvenate.

The World Is Shifting
There are big changes happening and also little ones. Open your eyes and see. Left moves right and right moves left. The world will remain in balance as it always does.
Sometimes it’s concerning for one group of people while others seem to excel. Eventually though things shift back the other way.
Occasionally it takes longer for the pendulum to swing back, but it always does.
Don’t try to push things too far one way or the other because you’ll really feel the whiplash SnapBack. There are lots of examples in history and probably plenty you can think of from your own experience too.
