Flashy is fine occasionally, but you are better off being conservative in most aspects of life.
Simplicity
The height of sophistication.
Find Calm
Enjoy it.
Positive Plans
Positive planning is a great way to create momentum in the direction you want to go. Planning out how you’re getting from here to where you want to be is so much more powerful than saying what you don’t want.
If you focus on what you don’t want, you’re likely to get some or all of it just by referencing it and bringing it toward you. I wouldn’t do that.
Focus on what you absolutely want. Make positive plans to get it. Write out those plans. Work towards that plan every day.
Detours And Disappointment
Not all detours lead to disappointment. Often, where the detour leads and how it makes you feel, is a function of how you see the world.
If you believe everything is unfolding to a master plan, then you accept that this is how it will go. If you believe you have much more personal control over things, you will be more concerned when things don’t go the way you had planned.
Which way do you think?
Stay Fit
This is an important life hack. Being fit as a child helps you to be able to participate in more things. It is also good for self-esteem.
Later in life, staying fit is helpful in reducing stress and finding and keeping a love interest.
In the greying years, staying fit helps to keep you healthier and remain a lower fall risk for longer. Strength training is a key element in this too.
While some may find this a controversial post, if it is read objectively, it is hard to argue the points.
Find Solutions
This is all you need to focus on. Life is simply a series of challenges in which you will perform better, and enjoy more, when you find more solutions. Find solutions.
Simple.
People See What They Want To See
They look for proof that they are right rather than consider what actually makes most sense in an objective way.
Some folks want to see positive while others want to see negative. Why would someone focus on negative things when there are so many positive things in the world to see, hear or remember?
While critics criticise and complainers complain, those with a positive outlook smile and remain grateful.
Which one are you?
Is it the better option for your life?
Could you switch? Or be more positive?
Keep Your Humanity
In the darkest hours, where every sense is being challenged and the world seems to be aligned against you, keep your humanity.
Remember to listen to the lighter angels. Remember to allow for others to lose their head, get lost or confused or feel passionately about something, even when you know they’ll regret their current stance eventually.
Pride comes before a fall. Be aware enough to see the trickiness in an uneven path.
Be forgiving.
Rules, Boundaries and Enforcement
Why have rules or boundaries in life if they are not enforced? You might as well not have them. Chaos will eventually ensue but that is expected.
Having rules and boundaries and enforcing them occasionally or intermittently or inconsistently is another path to disaster. No one knows if they are true or worth respecting or if they can get away with things.
Again chaos will ensue.
Have sensible rules and boundaries and enforce them. That is the ideal way to go.
