Being More Self-Aware

When you become more self-aware, you're taking a proactive approach to where your life is going. It naturally fits in to growing and developing well. You identify things about yourself, what you stand for and what you are pursuing that builds momentum towards progress that uplifts you. This results in better life experiences so embrace it. 

Valuing The Time With People You Care for

Time is our biggest asset and who you spend it with affects how you experience life. Make sure to time spend with those that you love no matter how far or close you are to them. Life can get in the way that distracts us from the people who are really important to us so make these people a priority and you'll be better for it. 

Reconnected With My Father

After not seeing my father for 15 years I have reconnected with him and am better for it. We can be better together moving forward with a good relationship. Conditioning myself for this moment has better prepared me to handle it. If you are thinking about reconnecting with someone who is important and lost touch with, go for it. Make the first move. 

Working To Find Your Right Fit

If you happen to experience feeling down for life not materializing how you expect it to, know that you can work to change things. There is always time to make changes and it’s just recognizing when to pivot and how to do it. The best time to do so is now to make changes and they can be small to make a big impact for the better. Just because you started a down a certain path and are dissatisfied with it is not an obligation to continue with it.

Reconnecting With An Estranged Family Member

If you have a family member that you have distanced yourself from for whatever reason and are looking or even just thinking about reaching out to them it's probably worthwhile doing so. There's going to be doubts coming up where you're hesitant because of whatever past issues occurred and you may want to avoid relieving some of those uncomfortable feelings or moments. You might feel that you're not ready for it and know that that's OK. Honestly, we are not fully ready for many of the things that we take on but we do it anyways. 

Universal Basic Income Can Help Us Thrive

Potentially a universal basic income can help each individual person thrive in their life to not be so concerned about the short-term results as long as we are afforded the opportunity to figure out what do we want to do in life. It’s just a supplemental resource to get people to worry less about survival and actually focus on their long-term vision for their life. With the help of regenerative artificial intelligence, it can potentially do many of today's jobs so we can live with a better sense of purpose. 

How Put Down Language Damages Us

Build momentum in the right direction and that starts with the language that we use to ourselves and to one another. It might be tempting to have a laugh at her own expense or at somebody else’s, but we got to reinforce the great things about ourselves. The jokes, all the put down, the smart aleck remarks need to be kept in check because it ultimately can chip away at person belief in themselves.

What Happens When We Are Wrong

In being wrong it can get us out of that pettiness of needing to appear right to ourselves and in front of others. To know that we're all flawed and that's OK. It keeps the ego in check because it brings about humility to know that we don't know everything and that's fine and when we can recognize that it leaves us open to learning and growing in so many wonderful ways. Embrace and it will make things less daunting. 

Viewing Competition

Come to see competition not so much as a threat but as a way that it can help you learn and grow. It does not have to be a winner comes at the cost of the loser because that is focused on a finite number, that we're limited in what we're competing for. That is playing the short game that is focused on one upping the next person, to feel the need to be superior. There’s an abundance for all of us to enjoy what we need if you can focus on the long game.

How To Invest Your Money

You don’t need to know company specific information or even stock market specific information to build wealth. As long as you keep the money invested in the stock market index it will grow as evidenced by its performance. It's set it and let it do its work for you. Just have your money invested through the good and the bad because it will position you well financially.
