Focus on the future and your ideal life. Map out what your world would look like in your happiest moments. Then build the environment and habits to make that ideal life become reality.
Let the past fade. Except for awesome, wonderful memories and the education and experience you’ve gained.
Do not harbour resentment, it is a self inflicted poison.
Focus on the great future and all the positive vibes.
Setbacks happen.
Persistence is key.
Keep moving forward.
Can you be disciplined? Of course you can be. You simply need to make the focused effort to do it.
It’s easy to say you can’t. It’s hard to say you will; and keep your promise. But it can and should be done. You’ll feel much better for pushing through a tough day, long hours, late nights and many rather tough challenges.
Build a better you. Do it today.
When you can, help a friend.
If you build great environments, you won’t need to rely as much on motivation, discipline, or habits.
Put things in your vicinity that will help you reach your goals and remove people and items that will slow you down, distract or detour you.
Yes, it really can be that simple.
You never know who you will meet or how they will fit in your life. So keep speaking to people, hearing their story and thinking through how you may be able to help each other.
It’s the only you’ve got!
Look inside. If you’re not as happy as often or as much as you’d like to be, look inside yourself. The answer is usually within you, not in what someone else does or says.
Only you can create the mindset for happiness. You may have to do some work, some thinking or even change some thought patterns or habits. But it is you that needs to do the work. No one can do your push-ups and see the results in you.
Get started today.
Everyone has something in common with someone else. Find out what you have in common and work on that. Build bridges.
If you’re thinking of it, ask!
Do not dismiss your idea, thought or question as silly, a waste of time, or any other negative frame. Oftentimes people will not ask their question. They are worse off for not knowing the answer and satisfying their curiosity.
Other people lose out too. As the person you were going to ask loses the opportunity to possibly shine with their knowledge and response, feel valuable or helpful and get a boost of pride or self-esteem for helping someone out.
When in any doubt, simply smile and ask. Your life may dramatically change for the better and so might the life of the responder.
