Check in with your friends. Somedays it’s nice just to have a friend ask how you are. People can be up as well as down. Life can be hard and we rarely know the whole story. Lend an ear. Have patience. Listen. It may change their life.
Do What You Say
If you commit and quit, your self esteem will drop. You can’t trust perself or count on yourself. Be realistic. Only commit to those things and timeframes you are actually going to do. Don’t let yourself and other people down.
How Fast You Want To Go?
Life can change in a second, minute, week, month, year or decade. If it were to change for the positive, how long would you like it to take? The quicker you would like the change to happen, the more action you need to take.
Good decisions also help to make things go faster. Timely decisions too. Don’t fall behind and get dragged along by old opportunities. Stay fresh, alert and ready.
The Root Word Of Culture Is Cult.
People are tribal. And we switch tribes based on the theme, topic or philosophy being discussed. If your favourite pastime is films, then you’re in this group. But if you’re vegetarian, you’re in this group. However, if you like to carry a firearm, then you’re in another group.
People like to choose their group based on their preferences. Being forced into a group is rarely ideal. For this reason, perpetrators of forced belonging are rarely perceived well in history. I’m sure you can think of several examples with ease.
If you’re trying to force anyone into a group, I’d stop now. You’re going to be on the wrong side of it sooner than later.
Just When You Think You’re Done…
Something else springs up unexpectedly. It makes life more exciting, or stressful, depending on the thing and your personal philosophy.
Either way, just get it done as best you can and move on.
Admin
Few people I know, enjoy doing admin. Though it needs to get done. So try doing it a little and at a time but often or once a week for three hours in the morning when you’re fresh. Then give yourself something fun to do in the afternoon if you complete it.
Home Sweet Home
Being away can be helpful in recognising the people and things you appreciate. You don’t need to go away for this to happen though. You can make the effort to find things you appreciate everyday.
Performance Under Pressure
It isn’t easy but it’s often worthwhile.
Some People Are Simply Wonderful
I hope you experience people in your life that are truly exceptional, kind, thoughtful and helpful on a scale you find difficult to fathom. Having people like this in your life will give you a whole new appreciation for humankind.
The End Is In Sight
Do you pour it on or take your foot off of the gas? I suggest you step it up a bit and drive hard across the finish line. Make it a clear win, not a ref decision.
