What you already prioritize, you're already good at because you're already consistently doing it. The big question is whether your priorities are deliberate or defaulted. Intentional priorities are the ones you're activated by. Default priorities keep you on the hamster wheel. Let's get into it...

To respect your hustle is to respect your discipline, your practice, your trade, and your skills. You’ve gotta discard what no doesn’t matter and keep what does, block your time differently, and focus on just one thing at a time. Think you can handle it? Let's get into it...

During certain seasons of our lives (adolescence, young adulthood, etc.), we look for validation from everyone but ourselves. We let what they see influence how we see ourselves. We expect too much of people and give up our own agency and influence as we become at the mercy of others. Loving and valuing ourselves from within is how we take our power back.

To reach a true revelation, magic moment, or threshold, we have to go beyond what we think are our limitations. There's some juice in our tank that we haven't even tapped into yet. We don't even know what's at the bottom of our reservoirs. Everything you've been up to until this point... everything you've done is just the standard; the cost of entry. Crossing the breakthrough to know what you're made up of and breathing rare air requires that extra (metaphorical) pushup, and that's where the real work starts.
