Too cool for school

Have a beginners mind.

You don’t know everything you need to.

The world revolves around you.

If it doesn’t, then who does it revolve around?  You can only perceive the world from your perspective.

Recognizing that everyone has their own perspective and construct of how the world is, yours is yours.  

It’s your life, and the first thing you can do to make the world better is to make it a successful and happy one. 

Fatigue makes cowards of us all. – V Lombardi

If you don’t take care of yourself and get enough rest, you won’t have the strength, the will, the courage and the energy to take on the challenges of being a high-performance person and be your best self.

Go to bed earlier.

That thing you've been pushing down…

Ok, it’s time.  That problem…that hurt you have been locking away…that thing that you did or was done to you…

Your freedom and release lie on the other side of that.  You have to open it up and go right at it. 

Work it out.  Acknowledge it, take the hit, and understand why they/you did what they did.  Be ok with it being a part of your life.

Then you can even see why or how it can be helpful in your life – how it makes you stronger, wiser and better.  

Are you ready to go straight into the eye of the hurt?

Ok.  What happened?…..

You were wrong about you

What person do you know the best in the whole world?  You right?

Well, I’ve got news for you.  You were wrong about you.  You made it all up.  The limitations you think you have were constructed by you.  The only reason they are true for you is that you believe them – and that is a choice you can continue….or you can change your mind.  

Change your mind, change your life. 

Just like that.

Celebrate small wins

When you do small things right you feel good.

Then you get some momentum.  Then you feel some confidence.

It’s a spiral up.

Get started.  Do the small things right.

Do you need education, or motivation?

“If someone is going in the wrong direction they don’t need motivation to speed them up, they need education to turn them around!” – Jim Rohn

Are you going in the right direction?  If so, go fast!  If not – turn around!

Be true to you

If I say to myself I am going to do something, (even though I was in quite a good and optimistic mood when I said it) I do it.  “I’m going to work out tonight”, “I’m going to write Think Daily messages Saturday morning before I do anything else, “I am going to get that project done and to my graphics team by Tuesday”.

I don’t lie to myself.  This keeps me realistic and moving forward.

How about you?

Consistency

Stop and start is hard.  People give up.

Don’t stop.  Be consistent.  Get out there over and over again.  

Make progress a habit.  Stay with it.  The habits and skills and results will accumulate over time.

Be consistent.

Make Courage Unnecessary

You need courage to get out of your comfort zone. 

When you do it enough, you become confident. 

When you are confident, courage is no longer necessary.

What do you want to be confident with now?

Muster up the courage first.
