Your choice. Groundhog Day or something more interesting or exciting? If your days have become monotonous and a bit boring, it may be time to search for something more interesting to add to your days.
What would you like your life to look like? What amazing plans would you have set for you? If you could achieve anything your heart desires, what would you be working towards every day?
Now go take the first step to make that happen!
You’ve worked hard, made some progress and, in general, things are pretty good.
At that point, have your rest, without further thought.
It’s ok to be behind schedule sometimes. There are many different reasons why that can happen. Occasionally we take on too much. Other times events conspire against us. Still other situations involve more learning than expected, which takes time.
I’m feeling about a month behind on my book launch and a few other things. Despite many very long days, I’m still adding more to the list each day than I remove. But at least I’m moving forward in many fronts.
I know it’s a blip. Sometimes unique events warrant exceptional effort. This is one of those times for me. We all have these at some point. The week before going on holiday is a great example.
So, if I’ve not replied or I’ve gone quiet, it’s just a matter of a crazy number of things to get done and not enough me’s or hours in a day to address all of them satisfactorily.
I’ll keep aiming to get on top of things into February. When you’re feeling a little behind, keep pressing forward but give yourself some slack. Rest. Just don’t stop.
Thank you to all of the well wishers, book buyers, sharers, likers and commenters. I greatly appreciate your time, attention and support.
Now that the publication date is here, I feel I can rightfully say I am an author. We celebrated my first official day of being a published author on Sunday. (And if you have skipped ahead to Step 7 in the book already, you will know what I am referring too.)
The next step is to be an author with readers. We know there are already some readers in the crowd and that is greatly appreciated. You will have bragging rights when the book hits 1 million copies sold. You can say, “I bought on the first day”, “I knew him when”, and “I was there at the beginning.”
Regardless of where this goes, thanks to all of you who are here at the start. Your likes, comments and messages keep me energised. Thank you.
I’m very excited to announce the launch of my new book, Achieve Anything!
This book is for you, if you are not 100% satisfied with all parts of your life. If you struggle to set goals or complete goals, this book will help you push past the barriers and make your life more exciting than you thought possible.
The book is available from online booksellers around the world, including Amazon, Waterstones, !ndigo and Barnes&Noble. You can have a look at it or order it here >>> https://www.scottgregory.co.uk/AchieveAnything
There is a classic hardcover edition, easy to carry paperback and an ebook edition that goes with you anywhere you take your device. We are also preparing to release an audio version by the end of March.
If you would like an easy-to-read and simple-to-do guide on how to achieve more of the things you want in life, then go grab your copy of this book today. And for a limited period, I will be offering signed copies for people from my website here >>> https://www.scottgregory.co.uk/store
If you feel you received good value from the book, I would ask that you let me know what you were thinking on scott@scottsthinking.com.
In addition, please post an honest review on Amazon too. You’ll feel good, I’ll be grateful and it will help more people discover the book. So you’ll be helping other people change their life for the better too! ?
Why do you need to read the news? What is it that is so important about some tragedy 3,700 miles away that you must know? Isn’t there enough struggle, challenge or tragedy on our own doorstep?
There’s about 7.9 billion people on this planet. Assume just 1% of all these people had a tragic moment at sometime during your 80 year life. That’s 79 million people. Let’s say it took you just 5 minutes to read, listen to or watch something about the person and their event.
Then it would take you 751 years on a 24/7 schedule to learn about each one. Who has 10 lifetimes to give to simply learn about the challenges of people around the world.
Be clear why you are doing it. Perhaps your time would be better spent improving the lives of a few people near to you, rather than imagining the pain of people in a distant land.
IF is in the heart of life.
If I had finished school or gone to college. If I’d got that job I wanted. If I’d been born in a different house to a different family. If my parents had been wealthier. If I’d said no. Or yes. At that perfect moment.
Well stuff the IF! We are where we are. The choices we made have, in part, led us here. Partly our own decisions and partly cosmic fate. Those two combined create our destiny.
We’ve yet to learn how to go back and undo, or redo, time, moments, choices and circumstance. So let’s get more comfortable with where we are.
So take a few moments, right now, and list 10 of your favourite memories. These don’t have to be your top 10 ever. Just the first 10 great memories that pop in your head now. You can keep writing 15 or 23 if the thoughts start to flow and even better, or just more, memories bubble up.
Great! Keep this list by your bed and read each one just before going to sleep and upon waking, every day. Smile. Be grateful. Cherish those babies. Cause that’s our life.
This is an important observation.
There is a lot to do in launching my new book. There are best practices and pre-order marketing along with preparation for post launch and how to price during the first week or two and beyond.
Like preparing to go on holiday and leaving the office for two weeks, you can’t sort everything. You can delegate and dismiss items but you can’t do them all yourself.
So just relax. And so will I. I’ve made huge progress in learning and doing. I will continue to make more progress until the launch and well beyond it.
There will be many tomorrow’s after the 23rd January launch. So be sure to enjoy the process and the success that has been happening.
It could be a parent, child or sibling. Maybe an old boss. Perhaps a friend you’ve not seen for a while.
Whoever you decide it should be, call them today. Even if it’s for 10 minutes.
You’ll delight them!
Christmas Eve. Your birthday. An exciting holiday. A pay raise. New job. New Year’s Eve. Your date arriving. Needing the loo. Your teacher calling on you to speak. The big game. New clothes or a sunny day. The weekend.
