Without a sense of urgency then I will waste time. If I have a back up plan, if I get comfortable, if I am timid, if I get complacent, if I am fearful then I will waste time and not perform the best I can.
I must be totally focused and committed to getting the outcome I want. I must fully believe in myself. I must see the potential and take enormous action. I only have one short life and I must not waste any time. Now is the only time. I am fully present.
One of the greatest things you can do is make other people around you better. This can be done in a couple different ways. The first and most important way is to be 100% yourself. When you are yourself then you give other people permission to be themselves. Don’t hold back and give it all you got. Effort is contagious so lead by example. The second thing you can do to make other people better is to have empathy. Listen to people and see their point of view. Change your perspective so you have a better understanding of what they are going through.
One of the greatest things you can do for your mind and body is to focus on your breath. This is so simple that most people don’t make the time for it in their day. One minute of focused breath can reduce stress, increase happiness, improve memory, improve focus, reduce depression, lower cortisol levels and improves overall health.

Even though you may know what you want it doesn’t come easy. You must pay the price. If you want a new computer you must know how much it cost then you must have the money to pay for it.

If you want to play an instrument then you have to practice. Pick a time to devote to practice. Not everything is paid in money. Sometimes you have to pay in your time or favors.
Everything has a price. Sometimes the prices are hidden and sometimes the price is really high. Just know the cost because there is no way around it.
Strive to reach all time highs.
Don’t get discouraged when you’re in a low. Use lows as a time to refocus on what is important.
Persistence and grit is key to achieving major goals.
Failure is guaranteed but success isn’t.
Fail big to win big.
I am better than I think I am. Everyday my confidence is greater than it was the day before. I make the necessary sacrifices to get what is important to me. I know what is important to me. I believe the universe and God are operating in my favor. I have the discipline and take great amounts of action to get the results I desire. I learn from my failures and come back greater and stronger. I will never give up and I will continue to better than my best because I am better than I think I am.

Don’t commit your time that you don’t have.
Don’t talk trash when you can’t back it up.
The amount of time it takes for different people to accomplish the same thing is widely different. The time it takes Elon Musk to make a million dollars is tiny compared the amount of time it takes me to make a million dollars.
When you are younger a year of your life is a bigger percentage of your total life. When you grow older a year becomes a much shorter period of time. Although the amount time is the same it can feel shorter or longer.
