Happy Birthday Think Daily!
April 2024 marks 15 full years of Think Daily! I started writing them in 2009.
For me, Think Daily has been a tool and habit that has proven the following –
To learn is one thing – to teach is an even higher level of learning.
To put good out into the world with no expectation of anything in return, bears great returns.
It has made me a better thinker.
It has kept me out of the dark dungeon of thoughts and kept me away from those sources of bad information and fear.
By talking about good ideas myself, I am more inclined to follow my own advice at the moments when it matters. I am still working on that. (Gosh imagine what a caveman I would be had I not been working on myself all this time!)
I have become very good at recognizing good ideas from bad ones by practicing. Practice builds mastery.
You have to become a better thinker before you can become a better performer.
Thank you for subscribing and being in this community and on this journey with me!
Good morning! A good day starts with a good message to you, by you. Having a good day is a choice, it’s not by luck that they happen! You make it happen for you! I tell myself every morning that I AM GOING to have a good day.
Words are everything. How you think them, say them and write them.
”I get to” not “I have to” makes a big difference!
Once you realize that everything and everyone around you is no smarter than you. That YOU alone are responsible for your outcomes. And lastly, that failing in pursuit of something is apart of learning. There is nothing that can prevent you from winning. Get out of your own way, Accept the challenge, and go!
Life is easier if you approach everything as a challenge instead of a problem and fully believe that there is a good solution to every challenge. It’s how I think and it’s how I raised my children. When challenges present themselves we immediately go into problem solving mode. We don’t cast blame, we don’t berate, we don’t go into the “would have’s, should have’s”. My grandfather likes to say “No use crying over spilt milk, clean it up and move on.”
