9. Some adages just don’t apply
• Happily Ever After
• Life is fair
• Just follow your passion
• Grown men don’t cry
• Words don’t hurt
9Javed Mohammed

10. Switch off the news and
statistics: Turn them on their
heads
• 50% marriages end in divorce:. That’s an old number. Reality is unless you’re higher risk, get
married very young, <~20, didn’t graduate from high school, low-income, have divorce in family,
nag, not committed, inter-cultural or faith marriage, it doesn’t apply
• 10% of people are unemployed: Turn it around 90% are employed and there are so many jobs
and opportunities, there is one just waiting for you to find.
10Javed Mohammed

11. Take a 5 min break on the
hour, every hour Our lives were not meant to be static,
repeating the same workday and doing the same work over and over.
11Javed Mohammed

12. Have big dreams and wear
larger than life glasses: That way you see
things as they are and better than they are.
12Javed Mohammed

13. Look for inspiration; The Guest House by Rumi
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond. 13Javed Mohammed

14. Reframe: Not why me? But I am a creative problem solver!
14Javed Mohammed

15. Your life is a novel, just
share short stories a minute
at a time.
