Change is ugly. It’s not going to and not supposed to look glamorous. You have to be willing to embrace the ugly. You will encounter many trials and tribulations along the way but if you’re focused on looking good while you’re going through this challenging time, you will ultimately lose.

It’s hard for a reason. It’s ugly for a reason. Don’t try to make it look pretty for the sake of avoiding the ugly. Embrace the ugly. You’re journey through the ugly will ultimately land you in a place of beauty.

I remember when I got started in a company called Primerica. I was in charge of creating my own schedule and I wanted to only work 3-4 days a week. I remember the days that I wanted to take off were Friday, Saturday, Sunday and any holiday in between.

When I was done creating my schedule, I think I had less than 180 wroking days on my calendar. It was ridicuolous. How could I ever get work done with that mindset?

In this episode, I will also tell you about the countdown app that I had that would count down to when I was geting off on Friday’s.

Once I rejected this mindset, things changed. I began to see everyday as a new opportunity instead of seeing a day as Hump Day or TGIF. Listen to this episode and save it to be a reminder that everyday that you wake up is a day gifted to you to be maximized.

One thing that I’ve always noticed was consistent with the happiest people was that they were always willing to laugh at themselves. One of my favorite basketball players (Charles Barkley) used to always poke fun at himself on TV about his own play and how he messed up.

In this episode, I tell you about an embarrassing moment of my own when I was a teenager while dating. Hey, we ALL have these moments. Be willing to laugh at yourself. It’ll make you feel better, trust me.

People often wonder how I’m able to stay positive and motivated all the time. It’s because I make a choice to do so. It’s not by accident. it’s something that I've learned to cultivate ever since I worked in the school setting with the severe and profound students.

I learned that my attitude could impact someone else’s day and in learning that, I changed my ways. I went from “keeping it real” to “I’ll do whatever it takes to be psotive and change the world.”

Here’s how I do it.
