As the great Kenny Rogers used to sing, “know when to walk away, know when to run”. Sometimes in life it’s a good idea to know when the time has come to move on.

Know When It’s Time
Timing is a critical part of life. Some timings you can affect and some you cannot.
When you decide to leave a party, that is your impact on timing. When your favourite superstar arrives at the party 10 minutes after you have left, that’s timing not in your control.
Everything is based on timing. A second too early or too late can change the course of your life. Yet half of it you can’t even control.
Focus on the timing you can affect and let the other ones be what they are.

Let People Know
Let people know, while they’re alive, all the good things you notice about them. Say it daily. Write them notes. Send them a full page letter.
People rarely hear enough good things about them after the age of 18. Let’s change that.

You Know
You know right from wrong.
You know less calories going in means greater chance of losing weight.
You also know how gravity works. And you don’t mess with that.
When you know, and you do, just do the right thing each time. Make it a habit.

There’s A Lot We Don’t Know
If you think your way is the right way and only way, you may have some more to learn. You may still be right, but knowing it is the challenge. The certainty of knowing something, may be misplaced, given all that we don’t know.

What Little We Know
There are millions of books yet how many have we read? Over 8 billion people live on Earth today yet how many have you met or heard of even? Every event can be viewed in a myriad of ways and yet you will only ever know one way (yours) for most of them.
Yet we give our opinions like we are an all-knowing super-computer crunching trillions of terabytes of data per millisecond and can confidently give an excellent response to anything.
Though in reality, we barely read half an article written by a biased journalist and believe we are sufficiently well-informed to let loose over a glass of white wine at lunch.
Perhaps get some alternative viewpoints, consider they may also be valid and try to uncover the reality, even if you don’t like that answer. You owe it to yourself to be better informed, less ignorant of real options and to develop objective thinking beyond the tiny bubble you exist in.
Think things through with a little more curiosity, skepticism and thirst for real information in place of the spoon-fed biased reportage you binge on currently.

Know When To Stop
Often times things start out well. Maybe it’s a gentle joke, a little teasing, spending on a few little things or picking at a dish of food. However, these things can go too far.
You know what you’re doing too much of, whether it’s binge watching tv, spending, eating, drinking, teasing, complaining, harassing or staying up too late.
A little bit and occasionally is fine. Moderation in everything as they say. But with that, you need to learn when to stop. And then stop.

Know Where Your Money Flows
You should have a plan for every penny. That would be ideal. Get as close as you can to this idea. Direct 10% to your savings and investments pot. Get it out of your account with an automatic payment, as soon as your income goes in.
If you have any money left over at the end of the month, pay down your personal debt more aggressively.

Know Your Issues
We all have issues. Get to know yours. Take the time and be patient. Learn about yourself. It might be quite uncomfortable and you may not like what you learn. But you will be a better person for it.

You Never Know
Never? Really? You probably know. You might not want to admit it though.
Face the brutal facts of reality. Assess them. Make a plan. Execute. (The plan…)
