Savour What You Have Overcome

Posted on November 21, 2022

We all have to overcome something at some point. We’re actually overcoming many hurdles every day. But do we appreciate what we have achieved or accomplished? Do you recognise the significance of the moment?

Think back to some of the huge hurdles in your life and how you overcame them. Consider what a huge turning point each of those victories became. Savour your victories.

What Are You Grateful For?

Posted on November 20, 2022

Can you write out a list of 20 things you are grateful for in under five minutes? Try it. Right now.

I am grateful for….

Here are a few ideas to get you started. I am grateful for my good health, all of my formal, school-curriculum education, my spouse and children, my warm house, our comfy furniture and the peaceful country I live in.

The more items you note on the list, the more calm and relaxed you are likely to be. You will realise how great your life is. This isn’t compared to the wealthiest 1% today but rather against the difficult circumstances of living in 621. A life back then was quite different.

So what are you grateful for?…..

What If You Ruled The World?

Posted on November 19, 2022

Would you be a benign dictator? What demands would you have on others? How would you change things, if at all?

We all like to think we would be just and fair. But often people think they would rule on everything too. Though you wouldn’t have time to gather all the facts of every situation of all 8 billion people.

The world is fairly self-correcting. It isn’t perfect but it is pretty good. You may not get things your way all the time but perhaps that is a good thing.

What one thing, rule, law, situation, etc would you change, enforce or improve?

Celebrate Good Times!

Posted on November 18, 2022

Come on! It’s time to celebrate.

Sometimes you just need good friends gathered to have a lovely time. Even in dark days, tough times or a lonesome road ahead, getting up and getting out to have a chat and a laugh can work wonders for your mindset and your health.

If you’re in it together and can appreciate how good your life is, even in difficult circumstances, you’ll at least enjoy the moment. And that’s all we have. Moments.

Inclusivity That Excludes

Posted on November 16, 2022

When we try to be inclusive, we can alienate others along the way. If we include the footballers, the cricketers may feel rejected. The outsider may feel better for you bringing them into the circle but the locals may feel excluded.

You can’t please everyone all of the time but be aware of who you’re turning out when you are trying to bring someone else in.

Timing Is Everything

Posted on November 15, 2022

Think catching the bouquet, a fly ball or a wave. Or consider arriving on holiday as a hurricane is announced, living during a pandemic, or far worse, a war, or sharing a lift in a foreign land with the person you eventually marry.

Timing can be good or bad, brilliant or devastating. Try to set up your environment to win and set up your mindset to win too.

Maximise your good timing and minimise your bad timing. Get yourself where you’ll reap more benefits.

Perhaps timing isn’t everything but it is incredibly influential.

Lots of thoughts come into our heads. But which are our real dreams and which are simply ideas that have occurred to us but we aren’t in love with them.

Now take at least one step right now to progress toward them.
