We all have things we wish we didn't do in taking care of ourselves. Including not getting enough sleep, too much caffeine, not enough water, consuming too much sugar. Taking care of yourself today means a better tomorrow and for the long term. The sooner you eat better, drink enough water, and getting enough sleep, the better. Delaying this, with the health issues you have now will only compound later on. One step at a time is closer to where you need to be. Even with one step, you will feel the progress and reap the longer term benefits.
Decide To Treat Others With Respect
Your reputation is everything in working with others. How you treat those who are around you will reflect back to you. No matter how people treat you, you are the one who has to decide how to respond. Decide to set the tone instead of being overpowered by the influences in the environment. By quiet, when you catch yourself about to say something in which is going to damage, the image your portray to those who matter the most. This is small world and you never know where at some later point where you may encounter the same person.
Build Your Resources
In being a business owner, no matter if you are an visual artists to the sky is the limit. You must be able to source your materials in finding the best price with same long term quality since what you output is the final result clients will see, hear, and experience. Saving money is so important so when challenging times come you are ready. No planning is planning to fail. I am going to create a e-book for visual artists in wholesaling materials. This is more essential then many artists think. Every business has to do this to profit otherwise they wont make it amongst so many other things. I'd like to hear your feed back.
Value Life Highly
We all take for granted life we have. When being young we think we will live forever. Over the decades, the values have change with more experience being collected. We expect our parents, grandparents, best friends to be around forever, the cycle of life happens since we are mortal. Spend the time we have in the most meaningful and valuable ways as possible. The time we have is worth more then money. We will never get back the time and can earn the money back. Spend your time with those you value and who highly values you.
Quiet Your Mind - Limit Distractions
With some many things to do these days. Take time to sit back and look at the whole picture called your life., Is it in the direction you are wanting to be in? If not are you working toward the dream you hold in your mind? If you don't do it then it wont happen for you. Start today in sourcing everything you need, including mentors, materials, study from people who have already done it. Understand by doing this you are progressing where you are to where you are choosing to be.. You deserve to be happy along with the work to being content where you are. Find a place you feel comfortable with and brainstorm about your life. What are the keys goals you have and map out the steps you need to take no matter how small they are. You are worth the effort.
Be Relentless In The Process Of Your Progress
No matter what anyone else says, it is up to you in succeeding. Patience is a virtue we all have a big challenge with, however when your time comes to hit, it will be bigger then you expect. Ask yourself where can I put the highest value with the current and future relationships? Learn to ask questions with honest intent. People can see clearly behind your actions. Sincerely care about them and show knowledge in what you have to offer. Make it special and show you are highly valuable. It is time for a shift for the better.
Where You Are Is Temporary
You may not like where you are, physically, financially, spiritually, financially. The question is are you working toward where you desire most? Do you dislike the people around you because of how small they choose to think? Do those around you value you so little until they see you accomplish what they wish they could? Ask yourself the questions to honestly find the answer. When you feel you are progressing in the way you will love in the future from today looking in hindsight, your mind starts to shift. Give to others who are in need when you have things people need. When you see the pure joy they have in their eyes, the whole aura will change. Become a giver and your life will change instead of the average taker. Choose to be the person who is of high value and in time you will be an empire from this.
Plan For Your Future
I was looking at my retirement funds even though I am not planning on retiring since I love what i do. I want to achieve this as long as I physically can. I care about people and want as many people to have a great life. By planning for your retirement and we all have to plan ahead. By starting now. the better we are better off. If you wait the more you will wish you had started decades ago. Think about how can you make it happen then only focus on what you don't have. It is a huge shift. Save, invest and generate at least 200k and let it grow over the decades. You will thank yourself years from now.
Make Room For Current Memories
I recently went back to my old neighborhood I grew up in. There are so many memories I have had. Some good and others not very good. The process of learning is at every stage. The influence of each individual and or family is a totally big difference in how a home feels. Since my grandparents are getting to the point of where they need to have 24 hours assistence, we are having to look at retirement homes. I don't want my grandparents in a retirement because they desire to live the rest of their life the best as possible. They have outlived all of their family. It does show where there is a committed love it will last a lifetime. My grandparents have been married for 55 years. My grandpa loves my grandma with all of his being in taking care of her all these years. He is a u.s. army veteran. He still has his military gear from the 1940s. I had seen his horse riding gear for years and didn't know where it came from until he explained. I was astonished in the fact he still has it considering this was over 70 years ago.It is amazing in how much has has seen in his whole life up until today. Does it make you question the future in how things will change to create memories in your near future?
Your Future (Self-Examination)
I believe more people need to develop empathy. As you see people ahead of you and their own life as if you are them, you understand the progression it took to get to where they are. To ask the critical questions we have to ask ourselves. A couple of days ago, my grandpa had hip surgery at 91. He was down for 2 weeks before the surgery. He has always been a go-go personality. My grandpa loves my grandma with all of his being and would do anything for her within his own power. They have been married for 55 years. He has taken care of my grandma for years 24-7. My grandma has dementia and is 94. I respect my grandpa and is a army vetaran, and believes in my potential in all I do.
When you look at other people's lives, you have to ask yourself, How can I have a better life then this person in my very near future. I want to be independent as long as possible and enjoy life with great health, mobility, and correct cognitive function. How about you? What are you planning for your future?
