- To Have More Time. It isn't going to happen and the more you chase it, the less it is going to happen. You live a wonderful life: great family, cool job, amazing opportunities. That's why you have no time. Make choices, make better choices. That's what you have power over. Any time, any place, anywhere: you can make a choice. You have no control over time. So let it go. Make the choice and be in the moment. Fully.
- To Win The Lotto. Are you crazy? Have you read the stats and data of what happens to the majority of 'big winners'? Do you want to give away your meaning, purpose and proportion of Life? I thought not. Care: you probably want freedom. That's not a bad goal at all to aim for. But giving too much attention to winning the Lotto is removing that very aspect of your Life you crave.
- To Find The Perfect Girl/Boy. A relationship requires partnership. Partnership requires supporting each other. If he/she is perfect, they don't need you. It'll be no fun at all. No. Try someone who loves your quirkiness, encourages you and allows you to be the best version of you. Sure, they've got a few foibles. That's why they need you.
- To Attain In-box Zero. It's simply the wrong measure. In-box zero may be efficient, but is it effective? What about strategy, coaching or for that matter your health?
- To Be Happy All The Time. There's no way you can be happy if you haven't appreciated some tricky times. A beautiful spring morning makes the heart soar because of weeks of driving in treacherous snow. We human beings are pretty odd: too much happiness too much of the time and we'd stop appreciating it. Love it when it's there, ride it out when it's a bit tricky.
- Own An iPad. You've got one already? Neat.
- To Stop Worrying So much. Good idea. So, get rid of some of your crazy goals, go on a long walk, give him/her a big hug, switch off e-mail and stop worrying. Easy.
