Not another list of how to…

We’re inundated with too many articles that start with, ‘how to get…’

  1. that promotion!
  2. flat belly in ___weeks
  3. a woman
  4. a man
  5. happy
  6. to early retirement

The list is endless.

What are we looking for? Why do we read but don’t action? Do we really need to be told the answers? Don’t we already know?

  1. Work smart. Don’t be a scumbag. Talk to people. Tell them what you want. Be kind to your colleagues.
  2. Don’t eat too much… we’re omnivores, not carnivores. Processed food isn’t your friend. Exercise.
  3. This is a mystery. If it were so easy, we wouldn’t have so many beautiful songs, stories and movies….
  4. So is this.
  5. You know what makes you happy. If you don’t know, you’ve got a lot of soul searching to do.
  6. Spend less. Save more.

I hope my writing sparks bias towards action, even if it’s for a fleeting second. But my writing won’t give out a list of ‘secret’ answers that won’t help anyone.
