Coffee and I are old friends (coffee is older than me of course) and I do a lot of thinking over coffee. With this in mind I decided to start a little concept called *thoughts over coffee* which I'll be doing from time to time.

## Topic - Be a better you
#### **Be competent**
1. Read every day, not comics, but information that adds layers of value to your understanding of the world around you, other people and yourself.
2. Never waste time when travelling to and from work - listen to podcasts or audio books that help you build your skills.
3. Hold the ethos that each and every person you meet and each interaction was sent to teach you something new or underpin and extend existing knowledge.
#### **Create and nurture your own momentum**
1. Celebrate your wins. I write mine down and have a small reward attached to each which is, of course, commensurate to the scale of the win.
2. Review your "win book" and remember how you attained the win, but more importantly how you felt when you secured the win.
3. Revel in the fact you've made those achievements and thank yourself for making the effort to work towards them.
These items above are easily achieved by all of us and help form the cornerstones of the platform one can build upon to become a better version of themselves. I don't see any valid excuse for a person who has made the decision to improve upon themselves and their lives not doing these things.
