Who is it really? Is it truly an outside person that is stopping you from achieving your ideal life? Or does that make it easier to live with as an answer? You’ll usually find, if you’re being brutally honest with yourself, that you are the only one stopping you. This mindset may be due to your self-identity, path uncertainty, or desire to avoid the tough decisions and hard work you’ll need to endure. So decide, make a plan, see yourself as that successful person and get to work!

Your Identity
We don’t stray too far from our comfortable identity. Often people don’t improve their identity either. While being the same as you were 20 years is nice, weren’t there any areas in your life that could have been stretched and improved? What is the identity you’d like to grow into in the next 2 years?
What Are You Capable Of?
Do you really know? Have you ever really given 100%? If you have, could you have gone 40% more? Did you try? We are far more capable than we believe. Try pushing one of your limits today.
Stay Hungry
Keep pursuing better and more. Not in a crazed un-disciplined way but in a focused manner. Having a purpose and being hungry to achieve it Is worth more than bars of gold.
Small Steps Add Up
Giant leaps of progress are brilliant. You feel you are really moving. But each small step adds up too. So remember to celebrate every little step. These are the building blocks to your incredible future.
Explore Your Mind
Be brave and learn about yourself. What makes you tick and what do you avoid and why? If something impacts you, figure out why. Ask yourself questions. Push your own buttons. It’s not easy but you’ll be a better person for it.
Hard Times
We rarely feel good going through them but we feel stronger after. That sense of reassurance, resilience and confidence to overcome tough obstacles feels great once you make it through. Focus on that light at the end of the tunnel. Faith and hope will get you through.
Decide To Change And Stop Wavering
To change something, you really need to commit. This needs to be a commitment that you really mean and intend to follow through on. One where you’ll accept anyone’s help to reach your goal.
You must set out a written plan, set up your environment to win, and track your key progress items every day. If these three things aren’t done, you’ll know the level of commitment you’re working at.
Walking
It’s very good for you. You can also see so much of your local area. And you can see things in better detail than you can from a moving bike or car.
We did nearly 11.000 steps, to and through Richmond Park this morning. Lovely. Felt so good.
All In Or Hold Back
There are times you need to be on the front foot and not hold back. Like that moment you stamp down the ramp in skateboarding, or begin your descent in ski jumping, there is no stopping or turning back. You are all in. Try to do that with everything you do.
