10 Years
What seems impossible in one year could be totally possible in 10 years. Being at the top of your sport, industry, or craft in just one year is highly unlikely. However, if you put 10 grinding and effective years of work in, to training and honing your skills, you certainly could be at the top.
You can build a billion dollar business in 10 years. Go from being 10 years old and dreaming of playing in the NHL, NBA, MLB, or Premier League and in 10 years, at the age of 20, be playing for your favourite team! The Beatles were only together for 10 years and look how well they did!
What if you dedicated the next 10 years to personal growth, systems and structures? What could you accomplish, achieve, create?
10 years…. You could achieve anything.

Best Time?
Was 1920-2000 the best 80 years in history to be alive? One may be able to make an argument for it.
The greatest wealth increase per capita seemed to happen in this period. There were huge social changes and great technological changes too. Voting rights and laws were improved. The tv, radio, airplane, medicine, peace, and the internet all became ubiquitous in this time. So did indoor plumbing and electricity!
There was no 24/7 information access. There was no AI. Jobs and houses were easier to come by in that era.
Perhaps this century is an even better time?! It depends how you look at it.

Down Time
Enjoy a bit of time all too yourself. Be sure to carve it out and hold that time in your day. Otherwise, you’ll work, sort out kids, parents, friends, do admin, side hustle, charity work and that Board you’re on and forget, or run out of time, for you.
Guard your down time!

Systems
The world runs on systems. A car is a system. It’s also part of the transportation system. Your body is a system. There is a system to get oil and refine it for your car.
Consider carefully how one issue within a system can be very damaging. Be amazed at how all these systems exist.

Pause And Think
Look around you. Have you ever marvelled at the incredible system our bodies are? Maybe you’ve thought it is rather amazing how every day you can turn on your tap and fresh drinking water comes out in abundance.
Waking up in itself is an incredible thing. All your blood is moving around and your heart didn’t skip a beat. It’s so wild.
Spend five minutes today in awe of how many millions of things must go well for you to enjoy your day of health, food ingestion and driving a car. Amazing!

Hip, Hip, Hooray!
If you’ve had a successful hip, knee, or other surgery, it’s time to celebrate! The miracle of modern medicine is incredible. Just 100 years ago, these surgeries would have seemed like magic. 300 years ago they would have been considered witchcraft.
Today, just consider them a fabulous miracle.

Rescue Me
Rescue me from myself. Everyone should consider this thought.
If you take no action, you won’t improve. Yet we can be quite lazy or procrastinate or be distractible, and then do nothing. Yet we can justify the nothing and make up our own stories about why we haven’t changed or reached our goals in 5 years.
Sometimes we want someone to come and rescue us. But be clear, no one is coming to save you. You have to rescue yourself. I strongly suggest you get a plan together with dates, times, and actions, and get working on it today.
