The Difference Over Time

The Difference Over Time

    

    A decade between two photos in the same place shows the difference between decades. Much can change in a decade. The plants and trees have grown or are gone. Roads or parking lots may have deteriorated or improved. One can notice one of two ways that usually has changed over time. When looking at photos from different times, improvement or deterioration is generally noticeable.  

As in life, you either get better over time or worst. It takes work to maintain your life. If you are maintaining, usually you are getting better or worst. Either you are getting better at life or as a human being. That applies to most things in life. Working to improve your life takes action. Those that are willing to try to improve their lives are the ones that will. If you never try, nothing will improve. 

    

    The world changes over time. So do you. As the decades pass, you will realize you are different one day. Even without action, over time, you will be different. Think back to your youth and remember all of the things like and own you do not. Foods that were great as a child you may never want to eat again. TV shows or movies that were your favorites now may be unwatchable. Time and maturity give one a different perspective. And there is nothing you can do to stop that. With age comes an awareness that is lacking in youth. 

    Take a moment and enjoy life before it flows away. Enjoy a soft breeze from the wind as you go for a walk. Study your favorite tree before it falls. Spend time with your loved ones, sit silently, and remember that moment. Life is amazing. Enjoy the ride. Appreciate this wonderful gift we are experiencing.

The Journey Back To Physical Media

 The Journey Back To Physical Media

 The Journey Back To Physical Media

Streaming media is now the norm for us to consume music and film. At one point, you needed a CD or a DVD to listen to music or watch a movie at home. Before that, there were cassettes, records, and VHS tapes. But now, practically every song, television show, and film are available online. Or are they?

I am sure there is an old film you remember watching as a kid, you are going to try to find it on a streaming platform, and it is unavailable. However, you could still buy a DVD or a VHS tape to watch the film. For the most part, most albums are available streaming somewhere on the Internet. However, there is that rare record that never got converted to an unavailable digital medium.

It might be a fun challenge to give up streaming media for a period of time. Maybe a week or a month, perhaps even longer. Would you still be able to watch television shows and films you would like to view on a physical medium? Possibly, you would have to make compromises and watch something you can find or already have the physical media to view or listen to.

That week or month may prove to be very interesting. When viewing television, whatever movie or television show is showing is usually just watched. Even if the movie is halfway through the showing, audiences start where watching where they are at with little complaining. If you have seen the film or television show before, you can remember what happened at the beginning. On the other hand, if you never saw that show before, you are smart enough to figure out what events occurred before you turned the television on.

Filling in the blanks is something our brain does instinctively. Since we can watch anything on demand, filling in the blanks is not utilized as much now. In life, there are many blanks that we need to fill in. And only through experience, creativity, and imagination can they be resolved. Much like any other muscle, your brain needs mysteries to solve. These skills make you sharper when real life problems occur. Having the foresight to practice these skills will lead to a more productive and contented life.

So, make it a challenge to yourself only to watch films or listen to music on a physical medium. Try that for a week or a month and see what you think. Watch television wherever it starts. Do the same thing with the radio when you are driving. Undoubtedly, you will rediscover songs, television shows, and movies you forgot about or never knew existed.

Be Bold, Ask

 Be Bold, Ask

In life, one needs to be bold. Life is hard, difficult, and amazing. It is up to you how to make an incredible life happen. When life is not going your way, you need to find a method to push it in your direction. Remember, moving the path to your advantage might take many attempts.

People often complain that something is wrong, and they do nothing to change it. To make a change, you must ask the hard question. The question that will enable you to advance your career, status, or lot in life.

One reason that people do not ask these hard questions is that they are afraid of the answer or repercussions. In business, it is just business, nothing personal. In your personal life, if you want to make something happen for you, you cannot wait for anyone else to help you. In life, it is up to you to change and improve it.

So be bold, and ask. If they say no, they say no. It is not personal. And even if it is personal, that is life. At least you know you tried to do something to improve your life. During my lifetime, those who have tried have achieved success. For those that wait for something to finally happen for them, it never does. You can wait forever, and nothing will change unless you boldly ask what you want in your life.

You Can Not Quit Life!

 You Can Not Quit Life!

All of us have tasks in our daily lives that are difficult. Problematic because these tasks are hard to do or the motivation to start is lacking. One must continue to move when facing a difficult task. Once you sit down or go to sleep, the odds of you completing that task are diminished.

How do you start a job or work you do not want to complete? Focusing only on the financial rewards is the motivation for many. Achieving something that is challenging is the motivation for others. However, the daily tasks that must be completed are increasing as we mature. Solve one complex problem, and three more challenging problems arise. Having the tenacity to face each issue one by one takes grit.  

Using a triage list can help you achieve your goals. Focus on the small task that can be completed. This will give you the confidence to solve the larger ones. Accomplishing one part can make the rest easier to finish. Remembering that others have been able to complete this work should give you solace that you can also complete it. Finally, just try. The worst that can happen is failing and not completing the task. Usually, just trying means you will be successful in your endeavors.

The scariest part of a difficult task is the thought of failure. Not being a quitter throughout your life will give you strength when problems occur in your life. Through life experiences, you will develop strategies and procedures that will assist you in accomplishing what you want in your life. The more life you live, the easier it is never to give up or quit.

Stay strong, and focus on the task at hand. Soon, you will be finished and can reflect on the skills that helped you achieve the outcome you desired. You can complete every task you face through a “can do spirit” and “never quit” mindset. So go out there and achieve your dreams. You are the only one that can.
