3 basic tools for growth and positive change

Nursing home info board
Upper left, November 5th (yesterday). Be intentional about preparing for your death. Ask and answer life’s important questions with a determined sense of urgency. Some questions take decades to answer. Fear is a poor excuse to postpone your efforts (and obligation).

 

Three basic tools for growth and positive change:

  1. Paradox
  2. Questions
  3. Common Sense

With yourself and others, argue like you’re right and listen like you’re wrong.

And be convinced about where you stand.

No one else can do this for you.

Please remember, your clock is always ticking.

No amount of rationalization makes it ok to leave this as a burden for someone else, especially when you don’t discuss it with them.

Simplicity gets lost on us because of familiarity

Slow and steady wins the race.

 

If it’s to be, it’s up to me.

Not sure who said it, but it fits.

Bonus:

Slow and steady wins the race.

Simple.

Familiar.

Forgotten.

Your move.

Age and grown up aren’t automatically synced

Yesterday in San Antonio. The top, flight 1062, departure time is late enough at 8am to allow me to sleep in until 430am.

 

Your mind is so powerful.

Don’t like something about your life but you are powerless to change it?

Change your mind about your attitude towards it.

Simple.

Simple doesn’t mean easy, but it does mean simple.

Generally, the people who would benefit the most from reading a blog post like this have long ago abandoned reading here.

Why?

Few people want to be reminded (daily) that they have uncomfortable choices to make.

The hope here – the hope which i have spent my life growing – is that you fully accept your responsibility in life as CEO of You, Inc.

Anything less means you haven’t grown up.

Know your why

i began writing to leave a trail. i continue writing for the same reason. Photo: Yesterday after the last home swim meet of the season (i missed it).

 

Ending every speech with a 72-hour challenge, like yesterday, reminds me that taking action is the key to everything good in life.

Change is good.

Change is constant.

Change can be painful.

Change can set us free.

Even so…

Change is, generally, resisted.

What if it wasn’t?

This is tricky because some things should never change.

Like seeing the good in everything.

The harsh reality, positive change will never come

motivational quote
From social media yesterday, no attribution available.

 

When you convince yourself that you want something (elusive), you will never get it until one thing happens.

For example, do you desire to be positive all the time, but fall back into negative, self-destructive habits?

The harsh reality is this will never change.

Not until you want this change as badly as you want your next breath – only then will you have a fighting chance.

Best wishes for this reminder to be a positive catalytic moment for you.
