Attracting Versus Demanding

Posted on January 7, 2024

In most instances, attracting people to you, your company or your cause is the ideal way to get people on your side. It feels great to be able to offer something that other people perceive value in. And it’s also great to be naturally attracted to someone or something.

What isn’t ideal is having someone demand your attention, demand your love or demand your participation in something. That rarely feels good.

Have a think about how you involve others in your life and business. Do you offer something so good that others want to be involved or do you demand their attention, affection and participation?

Is it time to double down on your great offer or time to make some changes in your game?

Think And Smile

Posted on January 6, 2024

Think of a great photo of, or moment with, your Mom. Think and smile. Or maybe it is regarding your Dad. It could be with other family members or friends or an event you attended.

Regardless of what it is, find some happy memories and make your mouth, eyes and face smile with the memory. I’m not sure people do this enough. It’s so simple and easy and feels good too. Do it daily. Do it twice a day even.

This is also a great way to get fantastic photos of you. If there is a camera in your midst and someone wants your photo, look straight at it, think of that happy moment and smile. You’ll never have a bad picture of you again.

People Avoid Pain

Posted on January 4, 2024

People tend to avoid pain if they can. Pain can be mental, physical or spiritual. Often we make decisions based on the least amount of pain we will have to endure. That isn’t always the best decision, for others or us. When you know it isn’t the best idea, then change your decision. The added spiritual pain is unnecessary.

Find Or Allocate Time

Posted on January 3, 2024

You can’t “Make” time. You can find time in your schedule and allocate or re-allocate it. Look at your priorities and decide how you want to spend your time.

Many aspects are mutually exclusive, though some aren’t. You can drive while listening to a podcast or an audio book. But you can’t drive while watching a video.

So if you prioritise what is the most important value, and stick with it, you’ll get a lot more of what you want in life.

Start Decent

Posted on January 2, 2024

It’s a new year with new goals and lots of enthusiasm to get going strong to start the year. But maybe strong is too ambitious. Perhaps starting decent is the better angle.

If you start as you mean to go on, will you be able to keep up the strong intensity with consistent effort by week 7, 14 and 26? Or are you setting yourself up to fail?

What Really Makes You Happy?

Posted on January 1, 2024

Think about it for a few minutes. Do not just think about what society suggests should be the thing that makes you happy. Rather, think about what brings a smile to your face every time. Is it a person, a place, an idea or a belief?

Whatever it is, find a way to get more of it. Not too much more, but enough to make you happier more often.

If Two Roads Get You There…

Posted on December 30, 2023

Decide which you would prefer to take and take it. It could be the one that is more familiar to you. Or, you could choose the road less traveled. There is also the new to you option or the fastest route or more scenic.

There are many options and qualifications to help you get what you want. Take a chance and make your best choice.
