https://mikesblog.com/2010/05/the-man-in-the-arena.html One of my favorite poems and blog posts here - The Man in the Arena. by Teddy Roosevelt. Let me read it out loud to you. So it is that - to not be a critic of what others are doing. Be the gladiator in the arena. Instead of saying “wow, Mike could do a better job, why is the quality of his work so under par?” - take that energy and that focus on critiquing others and use that for your own personal development and growth. As I said in the previous video - push your limits. See how far you can get, and you’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish. On the negative side of this poem, I think it makes someone like me a bit too aggressive. I make it feel like it is a fight in an arena. I like the competitive spirit, and competition is what pushes us forward, but at the same time we need to have an abundance mindset. There is enough resources for everyone - so what we should take from this poem is: MAKE IT HAPPEN FOR YOURSELF. check out this video blog and more http://mikesblog.com
