Stick To Your Convictions

Posted on March 9, 2024

While you stick to your convictions, you should also get quite curious as to why people are challenging them.

Don’t just blindly follow your convictions when others are challenging them with considered arguments. Listen to what they are saying. See if any, some or all of what they say could be right. Then investigate it further to test the ideas even more.

The movie The Big Short is an excellent example of this. The bankers that thought Michael Burry was nuts, should have gotten curious, instead of dismissive and aloof, and gone and done some harsh research. Their lives might have turned out quite differently.

Life From Your Perspective

Posted on March 6, 2024

Your life is your perspective on the world. It doesn’t mean the world is like such and such. It simply means you chose to view the world as that.

If it was like that, then wouldn’t everyone see it that way too? People see it differently not because it is different but their perspective is.

Make It Better

Do what you can to improve someone’s life, sort out a file, tidy something up, straighten out a cupboard, or even help someone.

Every day you should be looking for opportunities to make the world better, without making other people’s world slightly worse.

Think about it. Then go do something today.

Work Backward

Posted on February 18, 2024

Pick your desired goal or destination and work backward to uncover what needs to be done and when.

The timelines will seem tighter but that is fine. There will seem like more work to do than you thought but that’s fine. You’ll need to do more than you thought so just get on with it.

Unfinished Projects

Posted on February 12, 2024

Remove all unfinished projects from your life. They wear you down. If you really wanted to do them, you would have.

These were maybe good ideas at one time or a should, out of social belief or guilt, but now you can choose to end the insanity.

Free up space and time in your life. Remove these distractions. Only work on things you are absolutely committed to completing, out of love, duty, passion or necessity. All the rest must be left for someone else in the world to do.

Don’t dilute your energy for meh.
