Back to one of my favourite books… Atomic Habits!
We’re nearly in the middle of the year. I’ve been looking at my habits for the year. For most of them, I’ve been consistent… like, going to the gym, drinking plenty of water and reading! (current book is Nudge).
Now, I feel weird if I miss the gym. It’s strange if I don’t pick up the book. These have well and truly become habits!
And it’s doing them repeatedly. The more we do. The more we repeat. The better we get.
Let’s be honest. We’ve all had hard times at some point in our life.
The question is, how did we learn from them?
I love the quote below – because it’s those tough times, that make us who we are. Don’t be afraid of the rough seas…
Today’s Friday Thought is all about thinking outside of the box.
Now for a moment, let’s say you have an asset. How do you make that asset work for you when normal avenues have been explored and exhausted?
Think outside the box.
It’s easier to say it than do it. But… you really have to think hard about what you have.
Take a local pub. Most customers come in the evening, after work.. has a few pints then leaves. Maybe come in for some food on the odd occasion.
You’ve got wifi. You’ve got tables. You’ve got power. You’ve got food.
Why not entice those who need all that.
That’s right. Pub Desking!
So my u13’s football team has been promoted. We finished 2nd in the league.
As a coach, I’m always trying Learn, Evolve, Adapt and Deliver.
But my players are getting better, so how do I challenge them further?
Not just the players, but how do we encounter the opposition? By remaining adaptable during the match and make the changes we need.
LEAD….
There’s so many that talk the talk. But do they walk the walk?
I’ve heard people talk about their intentions to do a particular activity. But do they follow through? Do they make any effort?
You see, it’s all about action. It’s all about movement. It’s all about starting. I talk alot about get going, and do something…
There’s a lot I’ve done. Some of which I’ve enjoyed, I’ve continued to do… and learn more. Some of the things which I’d done and didn’t enjoy as much I put them down as ‘learnt from that’. It’s all knowledge at the end of the day.
Alot of people ask… how can I be more happy?
Simple.
Enjoy life.
Be excited about life.
Everything that you do… have pleasure in what you do. Even if it’s going down the pub and having a pint, enjoy it. Enjoy that first sip of the pint. Enjoy the walk to the pub. Get excited about the activities you do… or want to do!
The more excited you become.. the more happy you’ll be.
In life, we’ll be faced with many decisions.
Sometimes, they can be difficult ones. And then there can be easy ones. Either way, we should know in our gut… if it’s the right or wrong.
If it’s not a clear yes… (or at least 90%), then it’s a clear no.
At first, it’s not easy.
Working out, learning, whatever you start… it won’t be easy, and in fact you might think it’s doing the opposite to what it should be doing. But stick with it….
I was initially thinking about saving this one till end of the year, or end of the month. Or even end of the week…
You see, we wait…. wait for the right moment.
But when is the right moment?
We should just start.
Sooner you start, sooner the success will occur.
There’s alot of people talking about manifestation.
If you manifest, it will happen.
It doesn’t really work like that.
It’s based on your mindset. And the universe. The universal energy.
Read the below – it’ll explain it clearly, about your mindset, energy and frequency.
