Gathering Momentum

Posted on June 22, 2022

In life, when you plant enough seeds, you are bound to gather some momentum come harvest time.

Think of times in your life where you networked, wrote letters, made calls and passed leaflets through letterboxes. You were trying to get the attention of someone, anyone.

Then someone returned your call. You were pleasant and effective. Word started to spread. More people were attracted to your message, product or service. And your good manners.

This is how every little business started and how all smaller businesses grew into larger ones. Some call it the Law of Attraction. Others say it is the result of sowing then reaping. Still others might conclude it is the hand of god.

Whatever you attribute it to, remember to prepare for, and take benefit from, gathering momentum when you do find it in your life.

You Don’t Really Want It.

Posted on June 22, 2022

If you won’t sacrifice or put in the full effort required to get the results you want, then you have a wish, not a goal. You hope someone will come do it for you. You’re not intent on success. You want someone to give you what you want with no effort required on your part.

I can always tell who is fully committed to their desired results. They create a plan, put in the work, review their progress daily and get the results they were after.

Everyone else? They delude themselves with excuses, reasons and stories. Results don’t lie.

Sunrise or Sunset?

Where You Shine Your Light

Posted on June 14, 2022

Be aware of what you highlight and focus on. Just because you shine your light on one spot, doesn’t mean the other million spots you could have highlighted don’t exist. They do.

When people distract you with their preferred stories, you don’t get to work on your life story. Turned down the noise or even turn it off. You don’t need the media, your friends, colleagues, social media and entertainment to distract you.

Shine your light on your work. Stay focused. Get it done. Then take a well deserved break. Before long, get back at it. Everything else is noise distracting you from your dream life.

Flirt With Your Partner

Posted on June 10, 2022

After the initial mating rituals, this skill can get rusty. These can be simple gestures like a look, a smile, a tilt of the head, the raise of an eyebrow or a compliment even. These all add mental pleasure to a relationship. It is fun to give and receive and uplifting too!

Keep your relationship fresh and your spirit young. Flirt daily with your partner. And if you’re both a little rusty, have fun re-developing your skills. As you get older, these simple things are one of the few things you’ll be able to easily do and still get great joy from it. Start retraining today.

Confidence

Posted on June 5, 2022

Remarkably, growing in confidence can be quick. Stand up straight, shoulders back, say, “I am enough”, and decide to be incredible or unstoppable.

Or you can build your confidence the old fashioned way by developing skills, building a list of achievements and improving all areas of your life. It helps to notice all these things and appreciate them.

Of course you could do a little of the quick version while working on the classic version. Either way, get growing your confidence!

Build Toward Great

Posted on May 30, 2022

What if politicians outlined their common goals, and their differences on key issues, and then worked toward those common goals while being mindful of their differences?

Imagine how much progress could be made! Especially if people didn’t mind whose name was on the statute, or statue.

If people just tried to improve the most lives in the best ways, we could leapfrog a lot of wasted time.

Who might be up for that?

Quick To Judge

Posted on May 27, 2022

Why are people so quick to judge? It feels like a natural tendency. But haven’t we learned to either not pay attention or wait a year for all the evidence to come?

What is the point of coming to some conclusion after only some evidence is in?

Let the people do their work. Let the reports come out. Let the courts decide.

From Uncomfortable to Unstoppable!

Posted on May 24, 2022

Tuesday I went into the studio to record my audiobook with the lovely Zoe, founder of Creative Audiobooks.

She was great and very accommodating. Although doing something for the first time (i.e. recording an audiobook) feels a bit uncomfortable, Zoe was a real pro and made it easy to settle in.

After we adjusted the kit and space to my preferences, we were under way. With Zoe’s patience and easy working style, I settled in and got more comfortable by the minute. In no time at all we we’re working well together and getting the work done at a good pace.

By the end of the day, I didn’t want to stop. I was, er, unstoppable ?.

I was there for almost 8 hours. I kept trying and improving. It’s the same for anything. Get started. Push through the discomfort. Keep going. Improve. Gather momentum. Become Unstoppable.

It’s the way we really achieve anything!
