It can be easier to play along with people than to confront or challenge them. Depends what it is about. If it’s something minor, this can be for the best. But as things get progressively worse, you may want to call time on the storyline.

Knock On Effects
Few things happen in isolation. We may only see the initial impact but usually there are other unintended consequences. Many ripples spread from the point of impact. Look forward and consider what else may happen from that point.

Start Improving
If you should be doing something, then do it. If others remind you, thank them, and do it. Stop making their life miserable for helping and yours less wonderful for not doing what you need to do.

Go When The Conditions Are Decent
Not when they’re perfect. Just decent. Otherwise you may miss the opportunity altogether. Better to have a decent go than a perfect miss.

Where Did The Time Go?
Take a brutally honest look at how you spend your time. Watching, reading, listening to the news? Box sets, TV shows and movies?
These moments will be your memories to look back on when your 68 and thereafter. Are you sure you want to recall all those shows and all that news?
Be discerning with your short life and limited time. This is your one shot! Make it incredible!

Why Bother?
Many times you may see a chore, especially a repetitive one, and think, why bother. It can be easy to dismiss things. Yet, these can be important for structure in your day, health and cleanliness, benefit to others or even to give you purpose.
It can be easy to dismiss things like admin, cleaning or tidying. But they mount up and compound. Then you can get into even bigger trouble.
Learn to be tidier. It’s a skill you can gradually develop and is useful throughout your life.
Bother to do things. It builds discipline, self-esteem, confidence and even pride. Your life will be richer for it.

Smile At The Peace
You know that moment you’re sitting there and nothing is really happening? That’s the moment. Just smile and enjoy that moment.
You’re alive. That’s what it’s all about.
You might not realise how amazing that moment is, but let me tell you. You were born. That stat in itself is amazing. You haven’t died yet. That is quite impressive! (More impressive if you have and you were still able to read that line).
You’re not at war or being gunned down. Your home is not up in flames. I could list all the things not happening in your moment. But the point is, smile at how ridiculously fortunate you are at this moment. Unbelievable.
