Think about when you feel like the Energiser bunny. When does that happen? Are you dancing? Playing a sport? Speaking? Painting? Working on a deal? Attending a concert?
List out on paper when you get most energised. Then start steering your life to spending more time in those situations.
Unfortunately, so is losing.
Remember that the five people you spend your most time with, heavily impact what your life looks like.
Make sure you are hanging around positive people with skills equal to, better than, or complimentary to, your skills. Make sure their attitude is worth catching also.
Make sure you hang out more with people that are winning. It will change your life.
Phone, Dashcam or doorbell camera footage are what our local police ask for to help resolve situations in our community.
30 years ago, none of these were an option. They were not even an idea.
Now they are quite common place. Hopefully they encourage people to be better citizens, take their time and be patient with others.
Go look at the source material. Do not allow someone else to give their opinion as fact. As tempting as it might be to accept that version of events, it’s not a good idea.
Sure it would be quicker. But it won’t be as accurate or informative.
Go to the source first.
For some, they paid the ultimate price.
Many take it for granted.
There are also many that have, lucky for them, never even thought about it. They’ve never had too.
Elon Musk is attempting to buy Twitter for $43bn as a proxy for free speech. He is a purist. He seems to believe everyone can have a voice and people should not be censored. Why not?
The Twitter Board doesn’t like it. They rejected the offer. What exactly they didn’t like is hard to tell. That they will likely lose their jobs? That they will lose their power to control who speaks and what they can say? Or that they think, despite a failing business model, they can turn this company around and make it great again.
Get the popcorn, this is interesting.
I love a sauna. Always have. These were mainly après-ski activities as a kid and teen.
These later became part of an annual spa tradition my wife and I indulge in. 10 minutes hot, then 1 minute cold. Repeat a few times. Shower. Dry off in the warm air on a lounger or hammock, in front of a crackling fire. Then read and drift off to sleep.
It’s amazing. Swimming in the river is nice too. Contact me for location details if you like. Two days and you’re a new person. Indulge.
These can be most enjoyable.
Skiing and snowboarding are enjoyed by just 135 million people in the world. That’s only 1.7% of the global population.
If you’ve never tried it, consider it. It’s exercise in the fresh air with gorgeous scenery and it’s a lot of fun!
It’s always great to spend time with friends. Particularly friends who want good things for you and encourage you. Our property group is very much like that. A good group of friends.
Do you have a favourite coffee shop, book or tv show right now? Do you tell others about them? Have you even tried to get other people to go to your coffee shop, read that book or watch that tv show?
On one level, there is personal enjoyment of something special to you that you value highly. Expressing your enjoyment of it is another level. Trying to recruit people over to experience it too, while perhaps good intentioned, is a whole other level.
Now these three levels continually play out in society. There is a natural play between the levels by each person at different times. Sometimes, you’ll decide it isn’t worth thinking about any further. Other times you will try very hard to recruit people to your team, view, group or tribe.
An obvious one would be politics. Some people enjoy their preferred party or candidate. Others want to have a sign on their lawn or talk about their preference in the pub. Finally, some people, for some elections, will try to sway others to vote for their preferred party by going door to door, paying for commercials, or hosting events for them.
Consider all of your group associations. You have many. On every topic there is one to be found. Politics, race and gender seem to get emotions racing today. However, people group themselves by so many things like enjoyment of marmite, beer v wine drinkers, movies v books, etc. Oh, and sports teams!
Some people can get exceptionally animated about their group and dislike people in another group. Yet, when the topic changes and they find themselves in the same new group as their sworn enemy, they become friendly. It all depends on the value hierarchy of the group in question in that moment. Fascinating.
