A cushy life might be a great ideal, where you always get what you want and make little to no sacrifices for your goals.
However, without any sacrifices your resilience wanes and your timing will be off.
You need to have some sacrifices to test your resolve.
Go try your hardest, make sacrifices, suffer a little, you’ll be a better person for it.
Enjoy the moments. Live with enthusiasm. Be in awe of all that surrounds you. Notice the details that bring everything together.
You only get one. Love every minute.
It’s the only you’ve got!
Be grateful for a good life. Many are not so fortunate.
And if you feel you’ve had a great life, even more reason to be grateful.
Begin with the end in mind. Dream about the ideal life you’d like to live and when you’d like to start living it. Then start to research how you could make it a reality.
Get information. Book meetings, hotels and cabs. Write out the micro steps you’ll need to get you there.
It’s very fun and exciting to think that, if you keep it front of mind, one day you will get there!
Wallow in your misery for a few minutes. Throw a full on pity party if you like. But train yourself to have five minutes being down and then get over it.
Take 10 minutes if it’s really tough. But then get on with living life. It won’t last forever, so the quicker you get back on the horse, the more time you’ll have for this fun, wild ride.
There’ll be bumps on the road. Unforeseen issues will arise. Deal with them and carry on.
There is no pause button in life. A picture may be the closest thing to a pause button. Although it captures a moment in time, it still doesn’t halt time.
Even when you stop and look at that stopped moment in time, actual time keeps ticking along.
How you spend your time is a fascinating thing. Take time to smell the roses but also keep cramming it all in before your final buzzer.
Life is precious. A bullet missing a major organ by millimetres can mean you’re alive. A few unfortunate words or good ones in the wrong order could see you in jail for several years.
Misrepresenting the real situation by changing a word, tense or emphasis, could mean certain death, jail or freedom.
Life is full of fine lines. Cross them at your peril. Push things too far and the Universe will snap back. The French Revolution, a ball thrown in the air, or playing with a dog and going one step too far, are all examples of limits being crossed and the (natural) consequences.
Understand where the line is and was, and then adjust quickly, before it’s too late.
