There are a lot of people out there telling us how to improve our lives. The basic premise of such books and articles is that your life is not what it should be. Ambition is one thing, and a healthy thing. To strive for improvement does not however mean that things are currently in bad shape.
My solution, read “IF” by Rudyard Kipling. (Google it, then live it). But in an attempt to be a little topical here are Colin Powell’s suggestions for making life easy.
1. It ain't as bad as you think. It will look better in the morning.
2. Get mad, then get over it.
3. Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.
4. It can be done!
5. Be careful what you choose. You may get it.
6. Don't let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision.
7. You can't make someone else's choices. You shouldn't let someone else make yours.
8. Check small things.
9. Share credit.
10. Remain calm. Be kind.
11. Have a vision. Be demanding.
12. Don't take counsel of your fears or naysayers.
13. Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.
