You can work all day, week or month chipping away at your goals and inching foreward with important and urgent tasks that are required but don’t move the needle.
Then all of a sudden you can have a big win that creates a pivotal moment. Having two days like that in a row is wonderful and unique.
Celebrate those big wins. Cherish them.
Savour those moments.
I love the relaxing feeling of relief.
Whether it is after paying a bill at the deadline, catching a train as the door closes on my way to an important meeting, or having you airplane land safely during strong winds and driving rain, I do love the feeling of relief.
Ahhhh.
What holds you steady in the storm? A person, a place or a thought?
We all struggle with something at times so it is important to keep hope and try new things. Hope has a power we don’t fully understand, like prayer. And trying different ways to reach the desired outcome is more likely to improve the situation than doing the same thing that isn’t working, over and over again.
If you want different results or outcomes, you will need to do things differently from before.
Are you even aware of what will need to be done differently?
Are you even willing to do the things differently, every day, even when you don’t want to?
Discipline. Sacrifice. Resilience.
You can live a better life if you choose to put the work in. Otherwise, expect more of what you’ve had.
It’s important to break with routine sometimes. Mix things up.
Doesn’t sound sexy. Or fun. But it is what will move you forward and help you reach your goal.
Sit down. Define what you are to do. Then sit there and get it done.
Like a grocery list, you sit with pen and paper and look around and think about what it is you really would like.
Rather than jam and milk, you might think about a month in Peru in their summer, hiking the Inca trail, spending two weeks on a quiet beach on Zanzibar or walking part of the Great Wall of China.
You can write out the qualities of the perfect partner for you or the outline of the book you want to write. You might also note down the fitness level you would like to maintain in your 40s, 50s, and 60s.
It’s quite a powerful process to write these things out and bring them to life. You’ll feel better for the process. Then you can organise when and how you’ll do them. Then go and enjoy your dreams while you can.
Earth ???? turns in its orbit around the sun, within the galaxy, in its corner of the universe. The tv remote rests on the coffee table in front of the sofa facing the tv.
Her hand fits smoothly in his hand as they walk lovingly along the beach.
Your car keys hang quietly on the key hook.
Everything has its place and should be returned to this place when not being used elsewhere.
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.
