The greatest thing you can do in life is be the best you can be every day. It is hard for anyone to ask for more.
If you aim to push yourself to new limits everyday, you will continue to evolve and improve. That is really all that anyone could ask for.
Don’t give up or make assumptions. Sometimes we need to simply try again. And again.
If you apply for a job and don’t hear back, follow up! Be proactive and call them. Better yet, call them right after the application and make sure they received it, and if they have any immediate questions.
People are busy and have distractions. You need to cut through that. Get on their agenda. Keep pressing forward. Eventually you will win. ????
Yes, sometimes you really just don’t feel like it. You could be very comfortable. Or perhaps you are ‘exhausted’.
Well, this is when you prove to yourself that you have got what it takes to succeed.
Do some push ups or jumping jacks, get out of bed, stand up, breathe deeply or simply carry on. You’ll need to push through to get it done!
If you’re paying attention, some opportunities fall into your lap. They arrive pre-packaged on your door step.
Be wise and curious enough to explore them!
Get things set up so you can mass produce. Then get going on the mass production.
You choose daily. Both require belief in something you can’t see.
Which will you choose? Why do you choose the one you do?
Faith, hope and willingness are powerful forces when seeking to achieve a difficult goal.
We can all be nervous or concerned about a potential negative outcome. But we can also spend a lot more positive energy and time on potential positive outcomes.
How do you spend your time? Do you focus more on positive, pleasant, fun and successful outcomes or on negative, fear-led, dramatic and even disastrous outcomes?
If you tend to the negative, start training your brain every day to be more positive. Take 10 minutes each day and focus on coaching your brain on thinking through potential positive outcomes.
Life is long, yet short. You can cram a lot of living into one life. It helps if you act fast, be decisive, move things forward daily and eliminate friction and inefficiencies.
Acting fast can get results faster too. And we’d all usually like that.
Get really good at asking all sorts of questions Small talk questions. Big life questions. And every question in between.
Also get very good at listening to the answers.
Aiming for perfect is stressful and not generally practical. Excellence, on the other hand, is a worthy goal and a great habit to have.
You can strive for excellence daily. So do that.
