Decide To Be In Awe

Decide to be in awe of the world around us. As I look around the room, I am grateful for all of the people who conceived of all the products I can see.

In addition, I am grateful for all of the people, I will never know or meet, who financed these products through R&D and manufacture. And finally, I’m grateful to all of the people who worked in the companies, the supply chains, and the delivery units, that enabled these products to surround me in this room.

Sure, I went out and bought these items, so the effort doesn’t seem that incredible. However, the whole idea of each one of these products began years before I decided it was a product I needed and was willing to spend my hard earned money on.

Just think about all the sourcing of the raw materials that went into a plug, a lamp, a painting, a wood carving, a table, a ceiling fan, bedsheets, and a pen.

When you stop and think about all of this, it is really hard not to be in awe of the world we live in.

Be Precise

The more precise you are with words, timing and goals, the more likely you will get what you want.

When you are vague or generalise, you give up the precision and get what you get. People that can envision and clearly articulate a precise plan or concept, take control of the process and increase the likelihood of getting their desired outcome.

Do you order a drink (super vague), coffee (general), or a moca latte to go with 1 cube of sugar and a dash of whipped cream on top? If you wanted the latter but ordered the former and received a small mug of orangina with a cube of ice, would you be delighted? Probably not.

So start being more specific going forward from right now. Get very precise with your time, words, and goals and see how quickly your whole life starts to improve!

It takes some effort but it’s worth it.

Be Confident

Throw your shoulders back, bring your chin up a little, smile and say, “Of course they want me, I’m quite good”.

Walk around like that all day for a couple of weeks and watch your life change. A lot of success in life is about being confident. If you appreciate all the things you have done and all your experiences, it is easier to see why you should be confident and ready for everything going forward.

You may not start off brilliant, but knowing you’ll get better with effort is so important. Because at least you’ll try!

Be confident. Sometimes that’s all you have.
