Things don’t always go to plan. And some things take longer than you’d want them to. Things such as having a flat battery, traffic accidents on your route somewhere, or delays to aircraft or buses. Take it all in stride and find a positive reason for the delay. You might just find one: or two.
Most of your life you shouldn’t be looking forward to sleep but rather the thing you do when you’re awake. Make it awesome and they will have to drag you away from it when you require sleep.
Walks are great. They are very good for your overall well-being, both mental and physical. It’s a good time to clear your head, have new thoughts, see new things, listen to books or podcasts or chat with a friend, in person or on the phone. Make walking time a daily priority. You’ll thank me later.
Big generalisations are quick and easy. Getting into accurate detail takes time. Most people don’t have the time or want to make the time in their day. So they use the generalisation short cut.
When is it time to leave? This can apply to a party, a job, a relationship, a casino or a country. Most people don’t like leaving when all is going well. Some folks prefer to stay longer if they think they can fix it, improve it or it is going to change for the better.
The decision to leave is a complicated one and really depends on the circumstances in the moment. That said, you should definitely consider your options, at various times, though sometimes your grass is greener than you think.
Injuries happen. Physical, emotional and even spiritual. Be sure to allow ample time to heal. Life is long enough so don’t short-change yourself on the healing process. Otherwise, you may not heal sufficiently and have to go thorough a very similar thing again.
Learn and apply your knowledge. Get to full strength before setting off again.
Take a brutally honest look at how you spend your time. Watching, reading, listening to the news? Box sets, TV shows and movies?
These moments will be your memories to look back on when your 68 and thereafter. Are you sure you want to recall all those shows and all that news?
Be discerning with your short life and limited time. This is your one shot! Make it incredible!
There is always a last time. You rarely know when it is though. There is the last time you ever see someone, the last time you work at a company and the last time you visit somewhere special.
Consider everything you do like it’s the last time you will ever do it. Because one day it will be.
There is always time to score or improve, right up to the final whistle. This is true in games, sports, exams and life. Don’t slack off or think you’re beat. Play harder for the victory.
Don’t coast either. Victory can be snatched from you if you’re not paying attention.
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.
