Welcome to our 13th Season: The bottom of the pool: thinking beyond your boundaries to achieve extraordinary results by legendary author Andy Andrews!

Action Items

1.  Write down a list of things you were raised to believe were 100%, completely and totally true. An example for someone in the 1400s would be that they were completely convinced the earth is flat.  After you’ve written your list down, think through each item and ask yourself why you believe that, if it’s possible there is a deeper level of understanding to it, or quite possibly, maybe it’s not true at all.
2. What is one area that you’ve succeeded at?  Write down what it is that you learned through that, and how it better prepared you for the future. Now, write down an area you’ve failed before.  In the same way, write down the learning moments from that failure. 
3. Are you completely miserable in life?  How would you rate ability to just laugh and roll with the punches?  If you feel pretty low, then thankfully you can make a conscious decision to move forward.  Knowing that the quickest way to do this is through gratitude, set a timer for every hour of the day at first and when it goes off, think about 5 things you are grateful for in life.  As you become more grateful, you won’t need a timer and will stay in gratitude throughout the day, allowing for an overall happier and more enjoyable state.

Always, Always Remember,

You've got this!
