Today I use an analogy from my previous profession to describe how and where to identify issues that are in our lives.

We all do it. Start something an lose interest or hit a road block. But the one thing that keeps us ahead and prrepared is consistency.

Our job and our work are very different. The job is an ends to a means, something your got to out of responsibility to pay the bills. The work is your purpose in life, your calling, something that brings excitement and fulfillment.

Ninety percent of the things we worry about never happen. So why do we act this way and how can we combat these intrusive thoughts?

We all have scars; our faults, failures and disappointments. Areas we're not proud of and would sooner bury them or at least hide them from human view. The Japanese have an art form that takes a broken piece of pottery, and instead of tossing it out, they rebuild it using liquid gold or silver. The end product is an artful piece of work that highlights its imperfections instead of trying to mask them or even throw it out. 

Learning from individuals who are doing what you desire to do in life is one thing, but being a cookie cutter replica of them is not expressing your true authenticity. You are who you are; quirks, style and looks. BE YOUR ORIGINAL SELF.

You can have all the gifts, talents and abilities but without consistency, hard work and a specific regimen, you will not make it.

We all make mistakes, the difference is using them as leverage to better your future.
