Mini Motivation #11 - You owe it to your friends and family to become better

There will come a time when you look at the people around you, and realised that as a group, all of you haven't change that much.

You drink at the same pubs, party at the same joints, eat at the same few places, and draw even the same salary. And you observed that the rest of the world has move on, and deep down, you know collectively, you're left behind.

For things to change, you have to change.

But change ain't always easy, so here are a few little changes that are simple enough for everyone, and who knows? It could be the change that you need right now.

1. Use a different route to work
2. Order something different for lunch
3. Choose a different weekend activity - go fishing, random road trips, pick up an online course at Udemy or volunteer at a home
4. Sleep at a different time
5. Watch a movie from a different genre
6. Wake up early and go for a walk around the neighborhood
7. Cut down coffee by one cup
8. Start enjoying green tea
9. Take the stairs instead of a lift
10. Talk to an intern
11. Start a conversation with a stranger in the lift
12. Say good morning/thank you to someone you normally won't

You probably can think of a few more little things. Remember, don't attempt the big stuff; just the small ones will do.

Do enough of these, and you'll realise that you'll gradually improve for the better, and the others around you may just follow suit too.

Sometimes all we need is just a leader to show us what's possible. Will you be that leader today?

Mini Motivation is my own daily strategy to inspire myself. Mostly 3 minute reads.

From Motivation, we gain Inspiration. From Inspiration, we achieve Momentum. And the rest, they say, is history.

Hope it helps nudge you a bit too in the right direction.
