Get it right when it's small.

If you don’t take care of a plant when it’s small, you won’t get the opportunity to take care of a big one that bears fruit.

If you don’t handle small amounts of money well, you won’t ever be handling big amounts.

Working through the pain

“The man who can drive himself farther once the effort gets painful is the man who will win” – Roger Bannister

An easy life never built a strong resilient able human being.

We all experience pain – physical, emotional, psychological.  The pain is sending us a message and we often need to make adjustments…

but don’t give up.

"Out of Service"

What should someone do if they feel they have hit the bottom and feel useless?

Get up and go help someone who needs it.  

In no time they will begin to feel valuable and worthwhile.

Be “in service”.

Turn

Today is the day you change your life ten years from now.

Decide.

Happiness is contagious…

So is misery and helplessness and doubt.

So who are you hanging around? 

What’s rubbing off on you?

You can be the best in the world at this…

Be the best in the world at being you.

Don’t try to be anyone else. 

Embrace your desires and talents and be the best version of you there ever was.

"I don't deserve this"

If you say you don’t deserve the good things in life, you will repel them.

If you say “I don’t deserve this” about the bad things that happen, you put yourself in the victim position and place the control outside of yourself.  This eliminates your ability to do anything about it.

There’s no “I don’t deserve this” if you want to live an awesome life.

A Crooked Road

Progress is not a straight line.  A few steps forward, and one or two back.

When we have to take those backward steps we feel frustrated and like we are failing.  But it’s all part of moving forward.

There are no straight roads to where you want to go or who you want to be.

Be the One

When I was a kid, there were some problems.  Interruptions in the harmony of life.  At a very young age, I decided “I will not be part of the problem.  I will be a (the) solution.”

It was a decision, and I have stuck with it ever since.  

We all need to decide who we are going to be in the world.  If you made a decision in the past and have outgrown it, you can make a new decision at any age.

Who have you decided to be? I know.  It’s the person you are being now.

Being Extraordinary is a Choice

No matter what talent or circumstances you were born with, being extraordinary is for the chosen few – the ones who chose themselves; the ones who chose to be extraordinary…the ones who say “I will be the one”.

Choose to be extraordinary.  It’s up to you alone.
