Few things happen in isolation. We may only see the initial impact but usually there are other unintended consequences. Many ripples spread from the point of impact. Look forward and consider what else may happen from that point.
Start Improving
If you should be doing something, then do it. If others remind you, thank them, and do it. Stop making their life miserable for helping and yours less wonderful for not doing what you need to do.
Get Out And Enjoy
Sometimes you need a break. Remember that. Get out there and enjoy life. It’s good for your soul.
Hard Work And Luck
These both look the same. The results can lull you into a false sense of comfort and expectation.
Being a millionaire may have come from hard work as an employee or a business builder. But you could have also simply won the lottery. In both cases you can enjoy or show off your wealth. No one needs to know how you got it.
However, you’ll know how you got it. And one route is vastly more likely to have eventual success than the other.
So start off with hard work and if you get a lucky break along the way, enjoy it.
People Overcompensate
If you’re driving, and you veer to the left, you may overcompensate and put yourself off the road, but on the right side.
When someone does something you think is wrong, you may go even further in trying to correct it.
Be mindful of this correction bias.
Who Carries The Blame Carries The Power
If you blame the government for your situation, you give them the power over your life. When you say your friend is to blame for your lack of success, you are acknowledging the significant influence they have on you.
When you take personal responsibility for where you are going, you give yourself the power to get there. Now get going!
Help Yourself
Life has a lot to offer. But it’s mostly self serve. If you don’t see what you would like, simply ask. They may keep some items in the back for the special people who ask.
Is This Love?
What is it to you? How does it make you feel? Have you lost that loving feeling? Is it amazing?
Are you giving or receiving? Waiting or providing? Could you get hurt? Are you exposed? Is your communication like beautiful prose?
Define love in your terms. Then see where you can find it. Or maybe you provide it.
Share The Laughter
Share good comedy with your friends and family. Laugh together and enjoy the genius.
Stay Alert
Keep your eyes and mind open. You never know how opportunities will present themselves to you.
