It is not uncommon to hear many people talk about how they are “stressed out” or “at the end of their rope”, but often what many people consider stress is really just a lack of perspective about the challenges facing others on our block, in our state, in our country, and around the world. If you are reading this post, you have been blessed with more material wealth than many people on the planet. What is a low within our lives is often a height that other people aspire to.
Here are 7 tips to help you keep perspective within your life.
1. You may “hate” your job, but how do you feel about unemployment?
2. You woke up today…many people didn’t.
3. You may be overweight, but it beats being malnourished.
4. Gas may be expensive, but you wouldn’t care if you had to walk everywhere.
5. Your house may be small, but the streets are nice and wide; where would you rather live?
6. Democracy has its flaws, but we are free to talk about them; in some countries political speech can get you imprisoned, tortured, or killed.
7. Health care may be expensive, but not having it can be even more so.
If you want to change your life experience, raise your level of expectation, participation, and appreciation. If you spend your time creating without complaining, you will be surprised by the improvement you will see in your results and in your stress level.

Resultology is the study and practice of improving ones results through the consistent application of disciplined action over a period of time. I have an MD in Resultology, because I have made the commitment within my life to Make the Decisions that will improve my life for the better.
Are You A Resultologist?
- A Resultologist starts each day with physical activity, because the time you invest in your health is the best return you will ever receive.
- A Resultologist takes makes their big rocks (their most meaningful actions) their number one priority each day.
- A Resultologist gives their word and makes commitments reluctantly, because when we give our word, we do our best to follow through.
- A Resultologist gets actively engaged with those who are actively engaged in supporting and encouraging their wellbeing. Resultologists know that they deserve the deepest connection possible with those who support them in their goals.
- A Resultologist acts with a clear outcome in mind, because being busy is not the same as being productive or effective.
- A Resultologist is not afraid to ask for assistance, because they are more focused on getting results than they are on how they look.
- A Resultologist is a goal getter, not a goal setter.
- A Resultolologist practices daily self-care, because you cannot build success upon a shaky foundation. Daily renewal is fundamental to maintaining your energy, health, and enthusiasm.
- A Resultologist is dedicated to personal development to the extent that it contributes to their productivity. A resultologist studies to learn new practices and to reinforce existing practices, not just to learn new theories.
What can you do today to take one step closer to getting closer to the life of your dreams? What are you going to do to get the results you deserve? What practice can you adopt on a daily basis?
A Resultologist rises to the call and gets actively involved with the people, forums, events, activities, and discussions that contribute to their success and wellbeing. The time for silence, procrastination, and inaction has long past. Are you going to get involved and speak and act your dreams into existence, or are you going to keep lurking within the silent isolation of the status quo?
The choice is yours.
I’ve already made mine.
Your dream is waiting for you; what are you waiting for?
