Think of your favourite people. They may be your spouse, a superhero, child, parent or cousin. Name their top five characteristics (from your perspective).
Focus on these five characteristics several times per day for the next seven days. See what you notice.
Sometimes life hits hard and it would be easy to get lost down a negative rabbit hole. You need to resist that. Take a moment and refocus.
Train all your energy on being a positive force with a positive mindset. Be grateful for all that you have. It is far more than you think. Appreciate where you are and what you have. The grass is greener where you water it. So pour some water on your side of the street.
Maintain, or re-establish, a positive focus. Do not let the negative thoughts gain a foothold in your mind. You can beat this and lead people to a better place if you stay positive focused.
When the inevitable happens and you need to renew yourself, do it. Regenerate and move on with a thousand life forces, to your new destiny.
Don’t dwell on the past and what could have been. Be delighted in your new direction and the adventure that is to come.
Not everything will go to plan. There will be speed bumps. Prepare for them in advance as best you can. Prepare mentally for the challenge. There will be tough times in your life but you can overcome them on your road to success.
We saw it with the Pacers tonight at OKC as they clawed back throughout the game and finally took the lead with 0.3 seconds remaining.
It happened with Panthers at Oilers, also in Game 1 of the finals. Both teams battled down to the wire until there were just 31 seconds left in Overtime, before the winner emerged.
Keep digging deep. Never give up. The win is there for those of you determined to fight till that final moment.
Get out there and play hard, with the focus and intensity of playing in overtime in the finals.
When doing anything, book months in advance, or at least weeks. It gives you something to look forward to, is usually cheaper, and there are usually more options to select from.
Even if your whole world is falling apart, keep smiling. You’ll feel better.
Life is a series of tradeoffs. There is no perfect. There are pros and cons and weighting of those.
Get comfortable with this highly important concept.
It’s a simple switch in your brain. Don’t be so afraid to flick it. Say, “yes I’ll commit” and then go whole hog on it to the end!
