You are the star of your life. Start acting like it. You are also the screenwriter. So start writing in great parts, add a superb supporting cast, wonderful adventures and a few challenges for balance.
Start creating the life story you want to read about or watch on the big screen. Great books and movies can take years to imagine, write out, edit, publish, produce and get out to the world.
You’re lucky to be alive. You’ve navigated through big challenges, tough times and difficult circumstances. Life is better now than at any time in the last 20 years. Appreciate that fact every day.
Marvel at how good things are rather than the small problems everyone can find. Be a big, bright, shining star. Give energy to those around you. Do not complain or explain. Attract others into your circle because of how wonderful it is.
After 1,000 blog posts, today seems like any other day. It was a great milestone to achieve and I celebrated the moment but now life goes on.
You can understand how astronauts, Olympians, professional athletes and big stars can have some mental health challenges when their time at the top is all over.
Once you’ve walked on the moon or flown in space, how does everyday life compare? It’s as good as it gets. And then it’s over. Then you need to find joy and appreciation in other things. Everyday life is simple. Enjoy its simplicity.
Thank you to all those who sent me congratulations on the 1,000 blog post milestone. I’m grateful for your encouragement and support.
Use your imagination. Refine your thoughts. Be sensible, stay in budget but build a better life in your mind. See it clearly. Add in all of the detail.
Now, give yourself 10 years to get there.
Then decide you’re going to start today, do something everyday and reach your goals in 9 or 10 years. July 29 2032 will be the day you celebrate hard from achieving your dreams. Congratulations. You made it!
You may be financially free, married, still alive, retired, travelling to fascinating countries, dedicated to charity work, having children, adopting, teaching, coaching, having fun, or any of 1,000 other things.
Don’t wait 15 years. Don’t wait another minute. Get clear on a goal or two now and get working on it. Follow the 7 Simple Steps in my book, Achieve Anything, and you will succeed and become Unstoppable. Go for it now!

Eat well. Sleep well. Work Well.
Everything else is easier and better if you have these three going well.
Is it just me, or are these some of the most amazing days of life?
Which easy will you choose? With easy also comes hard. If you always take the easy route, things are likely to get hard later on in life. If you do some of those harder things now, you can have things a little easier later in life.
So if its easy enough to do now, do it. Put in a little extra work and time. It will pay off over time. And that future you will appreciate it.
Serious question. Have you ever even thought about it? What is it that makes you crazy delighted about being alive?
Spend 10 minutes now writing some ideas down.
These are the things you’ll really miss when you’re gone, or they are. Start giving these the daily appreciation they deserve.
IF is in the heart of life.
If I had finished school or gone to college. If I’d got that job I wanted. If I’d been born in a different house to a different family. If my parents had been wealthier. If I’d said no. Or yes. At that perfect moment.
Well stuff the IF! We are where we are. The choices we made have, in part, led us here. Partly our own decisions and partly cosmic fate. Those two combined create our destiny.
We’ve yet to learn how to go back and undo, or redo, time, moments, choices and circumstance. So let’s get more comfortable with where we are.
So take a few moments, right now, and list 10 of your favourite memories. These don’t have to be your top 10 ever. Just the first 10 great memories that pop in your head now. You can keep writing 15 or 23 if the thoughts start to flow and even better, or just more, memories bubble up.
Great! Keep this list by your bed and read each one just before going to sleep and upon waking, every day. Smile. Be grateful. Cherish those babies. Cause that’s our life.
You walk down a different street and you get a different perspective of your town. The doctor calls with test results and the world looks different.
You achieve something, buy something or do something new. From that moment your life is altered. Your perception changes. You become a different person. Ever so slightly. Bit by bit. We shift. We evolve. You transform.
Imagine becoming the Earth’s best version of you today. Make the changes more quickly. What are you waiting for? All the knowledge is there. Use it.
Life is constantly shifting. You can notice it if you pay attention. Keep shifting until you’re unstoppable.
