Find what motivates you. Write it down. Remind yourself several times each day. Use it to ensure you keep pressing forward, like your life depends on it; Because it does.

Perseverance
Sometimes that is all you need.

Keep At It!
Finish the task at hand. You might miss your train home or your favourite tv show but stick with the task until it’s complete. Or you may never finish it. The Law of Diminishing Intent might grab hold of you and bury your dreams and disciplined ways.

Life Is Terminal
We need to embrace this concept, not to scare us into paralysis but to help us release our drive and some sense of urgency that this game is finite.

Work On Your Dreams

Change Now Before You Hit Rock Bottom
Why wait till life is hell and the situation is a disaster? Make some changes today and keep adjusting the sail until you’re back on course.
It’s not very rockstar to fix your life before you self-destruct. However, it does save lots of time, relationships, regret, finances and health consequences if you get on a track to being better from today.

Ask Yourself Tough Questions
Where do I want to be in ten years? Write down 3 versions of your future. Maybe you’ll be retired. Perhaps you are working in your dream area. The other option could involve moving home or country.
What would my ideal life look like? University? Married? Kids? High income job? High status job? Great investments? Retire your parents? Where do I live? What do I do? How many holidays each year? For how long? Where? Doing what?
Am I willing to sacrifice pleasure today for a better tomorrow? Most people aren’t.
Do I need to work on my discipline? Are there some messes I need to tidy up (physical, environmental, mental, emotional, spiritual)? Get one sorted at a time. Start today.
Tough questions will move you forward faster than anything in life. Can you handle the truth?

Good Movies
A good movie transports you, takes you along with it, entertains and distracts. Just watched the latest Guy Ritchie film. Very enjoyable.

Train
If you’re struggling to change a habit, consider how you are training your mind to be different. The easiest way to train your mind is to believe it’s true. Visualise.
Then just repeat that exhaustively. And also find out what people like that do and think. Then do that!
