Sitting around enjoying family and friends is a privilege that some people will never get to enjoy. For various reasons we have lifestyles that don’t always allow us to be where we want to be, when we want to be there. Got to be there, or make the attempt. During these moments we need to thinking about trying to close the gap on the next get together, and our ability to be there. No matter where you go, your heart will be at home regardless. At times, more so than others. Make the most of the things you can control. Continue to make the memories you can. Don’t forget that the work will always be there, but the people in...
The one thing you can depend on in life, is people are going to be people. They are the constant unpredictable variable that can turn darkness into light, pain into pleasure, or make you realize your purpose in life. They can be the thing that makes your day the worst. They can be the ones that make them better. The one thing that is always constant is how perfectly imperfect we can be. As time goes on, we start to learn which people we want in our presence for various reasons. The people who give us energy, take energy or are neutral to both. Depending on our personality, we find people to fit in our lives on a spectrum of...
Performing at your highest level should bring you greater gains. The more you push yourself, the better you will get at what you’re aiming to achieve. Not pushing yourself until your broken; pushing until you’re in that zone of your body wanting you to quit, and your mind starting to play tricks on you. Don’t let your mind take you in the opposite direction of greatness. Lean into the moment and embrace it. It will only get easier when things get harder. Explore your boundaries, and find out what you are made of. Greater horizons are in front of those who want it. You might be surprised who you really are. When you push yourself in the right direction, you’ll...
Sometimes we lose focus on what we’re trying to accomplish. We have our moments of wanting to just be left alone, and just mellow out for a moment. Forget that the world is around us, and ignore all of our responsibilities. On occasion, we need that mental break. We need to have something more than grinding down until we have nothing left. Once we are through with that moment, we need to get back on the horse and continue what we started. The world will not stop spinning because we chose to take a break. Loss of focus is human, but making it into a trend is unforgiveable. The path to success is littered with people that thought they could...
You can’t take over the world if you’re worried about who’s looking. If you have drive, and tenacity to reach your goals then so be it. You have to be you, and not worry about what the world thinks. If you focus more on who’s talking about you, then you’re taking away from focusing on making gains towards your success. Once you gain it, then you need to focus on keeping it. The people at the top of their game don’t stay there long, if they don’t know how to keep it. That takes continuous self-improvement and reinforcement of skills and assets that need to be leveraged. You can’t put the necessary time in to perfecting your craft, if you’re...
