Whatever you do, do it completely. Don’t do it half hearted. Do it more than anybody else would. Keep your standards high. Care about the details most people will never even notice.

There is one thing. Just one thing. Above all else. That I hope you will remember.

Be careful what you become good at. You can become excellent at worrying, complaining, pleasing people, avoiding discomfort and staying busy. Practice courage instead. Practice honesty. Practice gratitude. A life is shaped by whatever you repeat often enough to become automatic. Learn to leave sooner. Leave the job that is hollowing you out. Leave the…

If I could tell my younger self only one thing, I’d say: don’t waste your life trying to impress people. Find out what you believe, what you love, what you’re good at, and build your life around that.  If I had only one sentence, it might be this: become someone you can trust. Keep the…

Your life does not need to look impressive from the outside. It needs to feel good from the inside. Enough sleep. People you trust. Work that means something. Time outside. Things that make you laugh. A mind that isn’t constantly at war with itself. Build a life you enjoy living, not one that strangers would…

Make sure you have something to look forward to. A meal next Friday. A walk tomorrow morning. A holiday six months away. A friend coming over. A book beside your bed. Happiness isn’t only appreciating what is here. Sometimes it’s having a small light waiting for you further down the road.

There are two ways to wake up. You can think, ‘Here we go again’. Or you can think, ‘I get to go again’. Same morning. Same day. Same life. Two completely different ways of experiencing it.

Try being five years old again for an afternoon. Look at insects. Jump into the water. Ask ridiculous questions. Eat something because you love it. Run somewhere for absolutely no reason. Look at the moon as though you’ve never seen it before. Growing older is compulsory. Losing your wonder isn’t.

For the next 24 hours, pretend you’ve been sent back. You’re 90 years old. Somehow, impossibly, you’ve been given one day inside your younger body again. You get to see these people again. Live in this home again. Walk these streets again. Now go and experience the day you would have begged to have back.

Imagine someone offered you £10 million for the rest of your life. There’s only one condition: You don’t wake up tomorrow. Would you take it? Of course not. Which means waking up tomorrow is worth more to you than £10 million. Try to remember that when your eyes open.

Try this tomorrow morning. Before touching your phone, stand by the window. Look outside. Take one deep breath. Then say: “I get another one.” Another morning.Another chance.Another small piece of this extraordinary thing called being alive. Start there.

Let them. Let them judge. Let them doubt you. Let them question the decisions you are making. Let Them be wrong about you… …Instead of wasting your time worrying about them, start living your life in a way that makes you proud of yourself.” ~ Mel Robbins

Every kind word makes kindness a little more natural. Every honest decision makes honesty a little easier. Every courageous act makes courage a little less frightening. The person you become is practising, whether you realise it or not. Your future self is being shaped by things that feel too ordinary to notice today. That’s why…

the people you admire began with the conviction that they had something worth offering the world. Believe in yourself first. The rest has a way of following. Be careful not to confuse a moment with a person. We have all said things we regret, made poor decisions, and behaved beneath ourselves. If someone had judged…

Perhaps the most important thing you’ll ever learn in life is that: “you are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.” ~ Carl Jung

Dear parents, next time you trip over a toy and get annoyed about the mess just remember this: ~

Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think.” ~ Benjamin Disraeli

Whatever you are, be a good one.” ~ Abraham Lincoln

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

“People cry, not because they are weak. It is because they’ve been strong for too long.” ~ Johnny Depp

Discomfort has a funny way of elongating time. That’s why I recommend it. When you’re comfortable, the days vanish. And so do the years. When you’re in some kind of pain or discomfort, the seconds stretch out to eternity. Somehow time gives you more space. Run through the pain in your lungs. Embrace the quiet…

Everyone’s time is limited. What matters most is to focus on what matters most.” ~Roy Bennett

Normalized exhaustion becomes your life. Normalized junk food becomes your body. Normalized distraction becomes your attention span. Normalized negativity becomes your mindset. Normalized not calling people becomes loneliness. Most lives are not destroyed dramatically. They drift. Quietly. Repeatedly. One small habit at a time. The good news is that life improves the same way. A…

A father was pushing his young daughter on a swing. Nothing unusual. You have seen it a thousand times. Back and forth. Back and forth. The little girl was laughing. The father was smiling. Then it hit me. The father knew something the little girl did not. He knew this moment was temporary. He knew…

There is a day in your future when somebody will say your name for the last time. Not dramatically. Not in a movie scene. Just casually. In conversation. A memory. A photograph. A story that begins with: “I knew them.” Strange thing to think about. But important. Human beings live as though life is happening…

These are the most important things to remember in life. Never forget these things. The years move much faster than you think. One day you are young and imagining your future. The next you are wondering where part of it went. Do not assume you have endless time. Nobody does. The people you love are…

In the end, if I could give you one bit of advice, it would be to find what you love and do it as well as you can. Pursue your dream… and even if you never catch it, you’ll enjoy the chase.” ~ Michael Caine

Plan Something, It Makes You Happy. Here’s Why…
