How much is enough? One car? 10? An all you can eat salad bar, sounds great, but is it more than enough?
How much is enough for you? Regarding anything. Stop and assess this now.

Don’t Cry Over Spilt Milk
An oldie but a goodie. Once the thing has happened, it’s done. Accept and move on. You can’t undo a car accident. So as long as it is only a fender bender, we need to take these in our stride.

Aim For Amazing
Complain less. Keep your mind focused on what amazing would look like. What do you want? Not what you will settle for.
This is hard for most people. People know what they don’t want or what they are fine with. But it often takes some serious inner work to figure out what you truly want. Not what you’re supposed to want, but really, actually want.
Stop complaining and focusing on past grievances. Bygones.
Keep your mind focused on the future and the amazing components of your amazing life. You get what you think about most of the time.
Think slim. Think wealthy. Think kindness.
There are lots of great things to think about. Think about those things and those things exclusively.

Repeating Yourself
Make the changes in your life quickly. Make them permanent in your mind so there are no ‘ooops’ moments and you do the things you promised yourself you wouldn’t.
There is no need to live the same year 16 years in a row. Change yourself or change your circumstances. But actually do it.

Time Well Spent
Try to have as many of these moments as you can. If you can get up from an encounter with someone and feel that it was “time well spent” then you are winning!

Push Boundaries
Push yourself to get through your own mental blocks. And nudge at other boundaries too.
Don’t take things too far. But do push.

Do. Review. Continue.
Success can be this continuous loop of doing things, reviewing where they got to and then continuing with them into the next step or stage.
That’s it.
For greater success, do more reviewing. This is what really makes the difference and shifts the needle.
We can usually get things moving due to excitement, drive or sheer enthusiasm. But then things seem to stall a little.
Anyone trying to achieve their New Year’s resolutions will recognise this as week 2 or 3 of January. This is where enthusiasm and excitement are fading. Some things are going well but without continuous review, the weeks blend into one another.
Then you might think you’re doing better or worse than you are. By continually reviewing where you are at, you can be clear on how well things are actually going. Much better that, than drifting along blissfully unaware and not making the changes you wanted.

The Best Time to Be Alive. Ever.
What an incredible time to be alive. The basic living in most westernised countries is better than even kings and queens had prior to the 20th century.
Fresh water. Peace. Food variety and abundance. Smartphones and all they can do and access. Healthcare and the ability to cure and postpone death. Travel ease with cars, Ubers, airplanes and soon spaceships. Flushing toilets. Fridges and freezers.
Social mobility is easier than ever. The playing field is the most even it has ever been. It will never be perfect and sometimes you’re going to have speed bumps, but, oh my. This is soo much better than even the 18th century, never mind the sixth century and all of the others.

Accountability
If you’re looking for someone or something to blame, start by looking in the mirror. You probably had something to do with it.
The sooner you can recognise that you often create the environment or situation that you’re complaining about, the sooner you can adjust your behaviour or attitude and improve the whole situation.
No need to act like an entitled, perfect, victim. You do things that irritate people and situations. Own up to it and make some basic adjustments.
Everyone can breathe easier after this and they will all get along much better going forward.

Routine
If your new goals can help you develop a solid daily routine, you’ll increase your chances of reaching your goals.
Set up your environment to win. Plan and schedule with calendars and alarms. Prepare your tools and resources the day before. It sounds so simple. It is so simple.
Put some effort in and you will reach beyond the stars!
