Always aim for the best outcome. This is the best outcome after assessing everything for everyone. You will not likely please everyone. However, maximise for the most people reaching the best outcome.

Commit
Commit to someone or something. You can put yourself first sometimes but commit to something bigger than you.
You will find energy and purpose in doing this.
Four Years Of Pain
I find it hard to believe that there are a significant amount of people that are on track to be outraged every day, about the current US administration, for four more years.
Four years is a long time to be outraged. Especially if they have been in that mode for the last four or even nine years. A person could get very old and bitter complaining about one man for 13 years.
This is a good point for all people. Assess what you are doing and why, frequently. Complaining is not a good look. Find some positive things about what’s going on and focus on that. Or do other things completely.
Turn off the tv. Stop reading and following people on social media. Your life is passing you by. And you may not even be enjoying it that much!
Gosh, the world survived a first Trump term, it will be fine with another.
The world has survived civil wars, revolutions, world wars, actual genocide attempts, the black plague, and all kinds of other challenging moments and decades.
Not only will the world survive, it may begin to thrive again.
Sit back and enjoy your life. Don’t let this age you.
Time
Use it wisely.
Clear A Drawer
Just stop what you’re doing for one hour and totally clear out one drawer. Toss as much as you can and organise what’s left.
Slowly you’ll sort out your whole house over the coming weeks or couple of months. Then you’ll feel very organised and on top of things.
Then don’t let things build up after that. Don’t keep things without a purpose.
Complete Takes
Complete tasks. Not just the tasks you like to do, that are fun or easy or quick or where people notice and will say nice things about it or you.
Noooooo. Do the hard things that you keep putting off, the invisible things, the ones that challenge your mind, body and soul.
Moving things forward is good but completing them is where the money is. People don’t get paid Star money for moving the ball up the pitch unless they complete the play and set up or get a goal.
Focus on completing tasks faster, every day.
Cuddle
Cuddle with your little children. Cuddle with your spouse. Cuddle with that special someone, anywhere in the house.
The act of cuddling brings warmth, love, closeness and intimate feelings. Cherish these moments. You’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Read More Non-Fiction
Read more biographies, auto-biographies, history, and self-help. You can even read more religious, science and psychology books.
Start adding one every two months. Eight weeks to complete a book should be enough. You’ll learn so much about life, yourself and historical moments.
Fiction is fun but non-fiction can also be highly entertaining and very educational too.
Order a non-fiction book from the library today and get reading!
Sacrifice For Your Ideal
Most people are only going to chase their dream up to the point where they are happy to sacrifice to attain it.
For most, if they have to sacrifice more than they are happy to, then they give up on their goal.
If it isn’t easy enough, most folks aren’t willing to put in more sacrifice to make it happen.
For example, you may want to lose 30 pounds but only if you don’t have to get more sleep, go to bed earlier, cut out most alcohol, evening meals/snacks, tasty foods and daily treats.
If that’s what you’ll have to do, many just go through the motions, don’t really track progress, make body type excuses and remain as heavy as they are.
They may try again later in the hopes they have developed better discipline or science has changed and they won’t have to make any of the above sacrifices to reach their goal.
Or they just go to the gym or to a personal trainer in hope that some activity 2-3x per week will make up for the excesses they won’t give up elsewhere.
This can go on for 3 years or even 20 years. It will continue until the desired outcomee or goal becomes more important than the sacrifices and true, consistent change required to make the goal or outcome become a reality.
So save yourself 20 years of not trying enough / trying and make the sacrifices required or realise your goal is a wish not must, and give up on it.
Move Fast
Life can be leisurely when you’re on holiday. Otherwise, you better move fast. Make fast decisions. Get things done quickly. Call. Don’t text.
Get clarity. Decisions. Feedback.
It’s all rather simple but you need to move very quickly. Move fast. Or surrender to those who do.
