What do you actually know is true? If you hear something from a friend, the news or a politician, how can you know what they are saying is actually verifiably correct?
Many people assume they are being told the correct information. And yet, they may not be. Go explore the opposite and see if it could be true.
You want to think your sources are so much better but perhaps they are more biased than you ever noticed. Look into it. Deeply. You may surprise yourself.
Less stuff, fewer distractions, less time on unnecessary things. Less means more time for the super important things life. Therefore, less is more.
Be the one to keep things interesting in your relationship and your life. Be curious. Plan adventures. Smile a lot. Be playful, fun and loving.
Whether it is a baseball game, person, an item or time, take the time to mourn your loss properly. There are 5 stages of grief and some extend that to 7.
Look those up and allow yourself to go through them. If you skip steps or the process, it will stay with you and be damaging in other ways.
Losing and loss can be incredibly difficult. It all depends on your attachment to that which was lost and a new vision of life that you can imagine.
Remember the good. Often.
Spend your time on clarifying precisely what you want and when you want it.
If you spend your time on listing out the things you don’t want, you’re actually increasing your chances of getting those, just by bringing them into your focused consciousness.
So write out your wants everyday. Stay focused. And get things coming to you.
As the great Kenny Rogers used to sing, “know when to walk away, know when to run”. Sometimes in life it’s a good idea to know when the time has come to move on.
Do one thing each day toward your goal. In three days it won’t feel or look like much but in 30 days you will feel momentum and have a trend going.
In just 90 days you can have made a huge difference in your life or project.
Value the small and consistent wins. Take actions, large and small, towards your clearly written goal.
Have faith. Keep hope in your soul. Maintain a willingness to continue. Stay disciplined. Be resilient. Then you will see, and benefit from, how progress compounds.
Whatever you are focused on, could you do more? If you aim to but one cashflowing house per year, could you do five or 14? If you want five new customers a month, could you win over 25?
If you’re spending a lot of your time on nonsense or unnecessary admin, review the situation. Delegate more and free up your time to double your business.
Do a one day time audit. Write down what you did every 15 minutes of your day. See what activities you can eliminate, delegate, remove, stop or be more efficient with.
Serve more people, make more money, have more of an impact. It will become fun and lucrative in no time.
Timing is a critical part of life. Some timings you can affect and some you cannot.
When you decide to leave a party, that is your impact on timing. When your favourite superstar arrives at the party 10 minutes after you have left, that’s timing not in your control.
Everything is based on timing. A second too early or too late can change the course of your life. Yet half of it you can’t even control.
Focus on the timing you can affect and let the other ones be what they are.
Writing things down make thoughts more real and allows you to easily review them and track progress.
The power of writing is immense. This is why it is included as the third step in the seven step process to success that I outlined in my book, Achieve Anything.
Write down your goals. Write down your progress. Write down your slip ups. Track progress in writing too.
Buy several inexpensive notebooks and start writing down everything. Soon you’ll find gold.
