You have to work to be great

If you want to be great at anything, it takes work.  Is anyone, who does not work, worth emulating?  Who can be great, or even good at anything, without hard work?  

Work is a necessary part of realizing our potential.  

Are you working hard? 

Building Courage

Courage comes from confidence, and confidence comes from preparation.

Have you prepared?

Feeling, in the dark

When you’re having a tough time, remember you feel more despair at night.  Don’t make any decisions then.

When the sun comes up, it will melt some of your troubles, and you’ll start to feel better.

…and the sun ALWAYS comes up.

Learn to Earn

Learning is a treasure that will follow its owners everywhere. 

What useful thing will you learn before you go to bed tonight?

How you look at the problem…

That IS the problem.

How are you looking at it?

Change your habits, change your life.

When I look around I see that most people are not investing in themselves much at all.  Instead they want to be entertained most of the time – usually with forms of media exposure; often dozens of hours per week.

High performance people have made a habit of improving themselves, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually – and they find satisfaction in it.

How about you?

Expectations are everything

How do expect the meeting to go?  How do you expect your day to go? That relationship?

How did you expect your life to go?  I bet it’s going about how you expected – right?

Is it time to change what you believe will happen?

Summer is now

What awesome thing could you do or trip could and should you go on while the weather is warm?

How many summers do you think you have left at this age?

Dream key

What is the most significant thing you need to do to make your dream come true?

You must do it and do it now!

What should I study in school?

We all have heard about kids who graduate with a degree and can’t get a job.  What can a student study in college that assures they will get a job in the economy of today and the future?

Coding, programming and machine learning.  Someone who can make the machines do what we want them to do.  One with these skills will always have a job in the future.
