Plan for Success

Being optimistic isn’t about believing nothing can go wrong. An optimist acknowledges what can go wrong but expects things to go right.

If you find yourself faced with a challenge or opportunity today and are unsure what to do, take a minute to ask yourself, ‘How bad could it really get?’

Once you’ve considered the worst thing that could happen, you will be much better prepared to plan for the best.

Resist Temptation

It’s so easy to fall into the trap of thinking that getting certain things will make you happy.

Whether it’s a promotion, a car or a bigger house, it’s important to remember that nothing can make you happy if you are not already happy. Make a commitment today to be happy regardless of what you have, not in spite of what you don’t.

Don’t Criticise Yourself

If you want to be the best you can be, don’t judge anyone. Not even yourself.

It takes courage to create your best life. It takes even more courage to stick to that goal when things are not going to plan.

If you are faced with a setback or disappointment today don’t be tempted to quit. Instead, take a deep breath, dust yourself off and know that the only way forward is to get back on track.

Explore Your Options

There is no such thing as ‘no choice’. There are always other options. Explore yours.

Instead of making the obvious choice today, whether that’s your coffee, your route to work or your favourite lunch, think about the other options available to you and choose something else.

Sometimes stepping out of your day-to-day comfort zone is all it takes to open your mind to the different options available in life.
