Your family will be real with you. Your family will show you real love. They were there for you when you were broke and they will be there for you when its all over and you have nothing again. Don’t forget where you came from. You are carrying on a family legacy. You share a name all of your family members that came before you and the ones that will come after you. Take pride in your family.
Most of the time I like to avoid failure because it is painful. This avoidance to adversity traps me where I am at. I will refuse to take risks for the fear of the pain. I will refuse to start something new for the pain of being a beginner. Even though the experience of being a beginner is painful, it is also very humbling.
Being a beginner reminds me that there is still a lot to learn. It makes me question whether learning this new thing will be worth it. It makes me want to work harder and learn faster to avoid being in this beginning state.
The one thing I find more inspiring than anything is nature. Nature has a way of putting me in awe. Everything is perfect in nature. The sunset is a beautiful mosaic masterpiece in the sky everyday. The colors are swirled around in an amazing fashion. The beauty of the sunset makes me feel like I am a small piece in something much larger than myself. It makes me thankful for the life I have and encourages me to keep pursuing my dreams.
Everybody is different so you may have something else that inspires you but you need to know where you can get that fuel on your pursuit of happiness.
Imagine the whole world as if you were looking at it from outer space. Out of the entire globe how much have you actually seen? Maybe 1% of the entire world you have seen. This is the same for every situation that your are in. You do not see the whole picture. You only see a small piece of the world and we think we know everything. Our senses can only take in a limited amount of information and out of that limited information our brain filters what it thinks is important and discards the rest of the information. Everyone has a different filter and bias based on their own experiences. Everyone focuses on different things and discards different things. Everyone is different but who is right?
Start. Finish. Repeat.
Follow all the way through with your actions. Go 100% and do not leave anything left. Do not let doubts or fears slow you down. There will always be some sort of resistance but the most important thing is to keep making progress. Good work habits and good decisions will make this progress go faster. The habits will increase your quantity and the decisions will increase your quality of work. With these two ingredients you will become unstoppable because the results will come flowing in. Your confidence and belief in yourself will grow where the doubt and resistance fade into the background. You will begin to only focus on things that will move you forward. You will take greater action. You will get better results and all of this will feed on itself.
Bad things happen and will always happen. They happen even when it’s not your fault.
You can ask, “WHY ME?” or you can ask, “What good will come of this?”
We do not always know what is best for us but we can always get the best out of every situation. Some things are completely out of our control like a missed or delayed flight. This seems like a negative right off the bat but what are you going to do with that time now? Maybe catch up on some emails, call someone, read a book, learn something new, or take a nap and catch up on some sleep.
Enjoy the journey. Time moves faster and faster and before you know it your all out of it. Knowing this day is coming is very freeing because there is nothing you can do about it besides being grateful that it’s not right now. You should do all you can to use your time wisely and live to the fullest. You should fill every moment of your life with love and joy. We are not even sure that there is other life in this galaxy so the odds that you are living at this exact moment are astronomical. The key is to not take a second for granted and be grateful for the present. Stop living in the past and future. Take the time to do the things you love with who you love.
No matter what the situation, product, content, or conversation. Your goal should be to add more value. Your presence must make things better than they currently are. The more value you add to other people’s lives, the more value will be in your own. You should learn something new and improve upon yourself everyday because the more valuable you are the more you can help other people. The more valuable you are the more people will want to work with you. Value is ambiguous because it means more than just money. Value can be through contributions, knowledge, actions, items, arts, feelings, communications. You must figure out ways to transfer this value into other people’s lives. This will build your business. This will build your fan-base.
Watching TV, Video Games, Social Media, Emails, Internet, Movies, Notifications

You may not have what you want because you don’t need it. Your life is probably great already and what you want is not a necessity but just a want. You don’t have to work because you are already comfortable with where you are at. The bills are paid for. Food is on the plate and there is nothing to worry about.
You may want something else but are you willing to put in the work to get it?
Are you happy with where you live? Where you work? Who your friends are? Your relationships? The money you make? Your health?
If you want more then you have to be hungrier to give more and do more. Change your STRATEGY, STORY, and STATE. Make what you want a necessity.
