Find Your Inner Strength
We can’t always rely on others to help us out. It is important to find and continually develop your inner strength.
Spend Time With Elderly People
Spending time with elderly people can give you a very different perspective than most people’s lives.
You can see into history, hear stories, realise what is important and understand the challenges and benefits of ageing.
Over the last couple of years, I’ve spent a lot of time in the company of people in their 70’s, 80’s and even into the 100’s!
Some are doing better than others in terms of body and mind, but they are all working their way through their life.
Some are more inspiring, and some will bring tears to your eyes, and it is this emotional stretch that is also so valuable. Learning how to navigate tough conversations and situations is a great skill to have.
These interactions will help you feel the depths of humanity.
Spend some time with grandparents, older parents or just volunteer for a few hours at a care home. The benefits to both sides will be well worth it.
Track Your Progress Daily
Not yearly. Not monthly. You should do those As Well.
However, daily tracking will have the greatest impact by far.
Stamina
You need stamina to push through difficult times. Whether you are running, working late or pushing through jet lag, having good stamina helps.
Build your stamina with trials and challenges and then put it to the test occasionally.
Smile More
You wake up – smile! You’re driving a car – smile. Find a pop in the fridge – smile.
There are a million and one reasons to smile in life. You just need to recognise them and smile.
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.
Talking Is Very Important
Talking and listening are foundational skills for anything, especially relationships.
So practice and improve your skills every day.
Select better words to use in your daily communications. Eliminate filler words like uhm and er. You can also rid yourself of words that aren’t helpful such as like, literally and basically.
New President
We should all get behind the new President-elect and help him succeed massively. We all want great things for America and the world. So let’s not get in their way.
We can throw away our swords and anger and fight alongside the President-elect to help create a much better new world, quickly.
Better that, than to be the speed bump in his and our own life.
Exasperation
How we hold to our beliefs is fascinating. We hold on and hold on until finally something happens. Something changes our mind. We may see something different, maybe from a different angle, perspective or setting and boom, we decide enough is enough.
We hit exasperation and say that’s it. We can only hold on to old thoughts for so long. With new evidence, the truth or a slight opening of our mind, we can see the world in a different way and want that better reality.
