Life Lesson

Simple as that.

Stay Positive & Try It And See What Happens

Most of the words we say to one another don’t carry that much weight.

We can’t remember what we talked on the phone to a family member about last weekend.

Or the conversation we had with our partner before bed last night.

When it comes to happiness and relationships, though, it’s the mere act of talking that builds connection.

Show me a couple that sits at dinner in silence with one another and I’ll show you a couple with a relationship problem. And far greater in danger than one that only talks about the weather and repeats stories they already shared with one another earlier in the relationship.

As a lover of words this kills me to type: sometimes words just don’t matter.

Well, at least which words we use. Of course, the whole point here is that using words matters a whole lot.

Begs the introspection to evaluate how often you are talking with people.

Good, now I have a way to empathize with others who have gone through that.

Good, now I have a new challenge to add to my repertoire of completion.

Good, now I know not to do that again.

Good, now I can move on to rebuilding the trust.

There’s not a bad that can be turned to good.

Free trials are great because inherent in them is the premise of a user using it more than once. This is vital.

This is also where “free samples” fail beverage producers in generating adoption.

The hack beyond it is a simple one: “here try this… and here’s a can to take home with you”

I couldn’t tell you the exact 10x or 5x or ???x of loyalty you’ll build as a result, but it’s more than if you only get someone to try it once.

Sometimes there’s no point in complaining. Actually, that’s most of the time.

Sometimes there’s no point in getting frustrated. On second thought, that’s probably all the time, too.

The point is that you get to decide when there’s no point and when there is.

Might as well decide it when it actually helps move you forward.

Stay Positive & End The Noise

It’s a lot easier to move forward in working with a group if you think about how special of an opportunity it is.

It’s a lot easier to overcome challenges if you imagine that the journey ahead will be full of difficulties.

We can imagine good scenarios and bad; the important part is we imagine them in a way that helps us rather than hurts us.

Stay Positive & Imagine If It Were Easy To Switch The Thinking

The quickest way to make a friend? Be a friend.

It works for inspiration, too.

Rather than waiting for it to strike you. You’ll find it when you get it to strike for someone else.

The best way to be inspired… be inspiring, first.
