"Before you say yes to someone, remember, it’s far better to say no than to say yes and cancel later down the line." An Old Friend - June 2018 Do you over-commit? What happens when you over-commit Over-committing is actually quite normal. We get excited about the idea of a plan, either because we make it ourselves or we're convinced into it. Then, when the time comes, we don't want to follow through and end up cancelling. The issue here is that we're not really asking ourselves whether we truly want to do the thing in the first place. Worse still, we make plans in the heat of excitement, only to back out as the date approaches. Don’t over-commit. Be spontaneous, but don’t agree to or create plans unless you’re genuinely sure about them. And once you do – stick to it. Under-commit instead. Choose to under-commit and over-deliver  Choose to over-deliver When you make a plan – honour it. Over-delivering can also mean being spontaneous and stepping up in those moments...

 "Be patient. Learn to understand situations before emotionally reacting. Take a moment to think and listen ".  Mr Khan Snr. November 2002 Take a moment Before any outburst, take a moment to pause. Oftentimes, when faced with adverse scenarios, we choose a 'fight or flight' response and react emotionally. Many times, these emotions stem from the lower regions of our being, leaving us with regret once the situation has passed. However, we can avoid these situations altogether by exercising restraint in key moments. Choose to rise above the clouds and act from the higher regions of your being. This is what patience is – staying calm in the storm. Breathe Breathe. Many situations could be avoided if we simply took a breath. When you take a deep breath, you create a moment to pause and reflect. Such moments are normal yet rare in the hyper-paced society we live in today. Breathe and assess the situation plainly, for what it is. Don't rush to a conclusion. Just asses...

  “There is no easy way. There is only hard work, late nights, early mornings, practice, rehearsal, repetition, study, sweat, blood, toil, frustration, and discipline.” ―  Jocko Willink,  Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual Discipline requires early mornings like this (5:15am) Why Discipline is so Important      Discipline is freedom. To live a life of discipline is to live an ordered, structured, and ultimately happy life. When you are disciplined, you do what needs to be done regardless of how you feel. There is a certain consistency to your life, and things get done. Progress starts to be made, and when you look back, you realise just how far you’ve come. Discipline is the act of doing the things you said you would do, regardless of how you feel—not once or twice but every single time. When something comes up in your life, you have the discipline to deal with it based on your value system. To live a life of discipline may seem boring and torturous to...

 "These times will all mean something - but only if you are willing to work - right now, doing the MOST you can." HIGHER SELF It's happening for a reason What is happening right now is meant to be, and deep down, you knew this would come. The problem many of us have is that we avoid situations for as long as possible – but they always come around in the end – in some way, shape, or form. Rather than avoiding them, we should be actively trying to experience, and eventually solve, these situations. I know it sucks, but it’s here now, so we must learn to live with it. Reframe the narrative around the story. What’s happening is a life lesson and something that must be experienced. Better to resolve it now than in the future – when things could be ten times worse. Everything happens for a reason Do it NOW With every precarious situation we face, there is an opportunity to take action, and we mustn’t delay. To do it now, or even earlier, is to succeed. To delay is to inevitably...

Time is not your friend The 20s are over, the boy must now become a man,  Stop mucking about and get to it, Time is more thin.  Before you know it, another 5, 10 years will have passed.  Thus, the only solice is satisfaction, and that comes from progression.  Not in mere words and thoughts.  But visible progression, measured over a certain time span.  Regret is not an option.  Why you must wake up now  We often take life for granted. We live as if we have endless time, not realising it could all end in an instant. At the same time, as we grow older, we regret missed opportunities, especially when time speeds up, and youth slips away. These feelings usually bubble up during personal crises—like a health scare or a family loss. We need to realise that time is limited. If you have goals, dreams, or aspirations, pursue them now. There is no tomorrow. Keep sleeping through life, and the heavy hand of regret will hit you hard, maybe leaving you unable t...

Success Lies Within  Look out into the horizon of your coming  success  Success is within YOU The only true barometer of success is you. You define success. And you must earn it. Many people believe success is a one-time event or a lucky break – it’s not! Success is the culmination of years of hard work, grit, determination, perseverance, and discipline. Success is about getting back up, even after being knocked down time and time again. That’s why YOU are so important – it all depends on you. Will you put in the work or will you falter? Ultimately, it's up to you. Where are you going?   What do YOU need to do? Only you truly know the answer, but now would be a good time to assess what you're currently doing in your life. Do you have a goal? If so, what is it? To get anywhere, we must first know where we want to go. Without clear direction, our actions and thoughts become misaligned, leading to no results down the road and a deep sense of regret. What do you need to ...
