#244. Dad, how do I tell my inner critic to f**k off?
Start the day by being true to yourself and trust your gut.
Decisions
#243. Dad, are rules sacred?
Rules are not sacred, principles are.
#240. Dad, when should I start to worry?
DAD: Never. Worrying doesn’t change outcomes. Worrying ruins your day. Worrying distracts you from the work at hand.
#214. Dad, some days are so hard
DAD: Your track record for getting through hard days is 100% so far.
#211. Dad, what is a “reverse bucket list?”
DAD: A “reverse bucket list” reminds you of what you have already done and makes you feel inspired instead of overwhelmed.
#204. Dad, tell me about being a perfectionist.
DAD: Perfectionists are motivated to make the best choice every time. This can lead to decision paralysis.
#138. Dad, sometimes I feel I am busy all the time
DAD: We are all busy. We’ve all taken on too much. Saying yes to less is the way out.
#130. Dad, why should I keep a diary?
DAD: A diary helps you to pay attention to your life and it’s a good place to keep bad ideas.
#100. Dad, what is identity confusion?
Dad: When your spending behaviour contradicts your values and goals.
#78. Dad, what do I do when I find myself directionless?
DAD: When in doubt choose flexibility. Visualize where you want to go and seed your life with the opportunity for change.
#34. Dad, what is the difference between a want and a need?
A need is something you have to have. A want is a choice.
#31. Dad, may I buy anything I desire?
Yes. You can buy anything you desire – as long as you have saved for it first.
