There's something special about generosity.

Everything we do in life boils down to 2 categories:

1. Things I get to do
2. Things I must go through

Develop enthusiasm for the process of achieving the things that are on the other side of these 2 categories.

The easiest thing to do is to look back on our lives and highlight the things that could have been different. We have an addiction to devoting our time to focusing on the things that we can't change - rather than focusing on the things that could be. Train yourself to advance by seeing the silver lining and opportunity in everything.

Achieving what you want is not the hardest part. The hardest part is achieving your goals without giving away your peace.

Victimhood is the most dangerous thing that you can fall into in your life. It blocks your ability to learn and to receive. The responsibility to grow through and move forward is not on the person or system that hurt you - it's on you. Take control and don't play the victim.

By the time they know your name, it will no longer matter to you. So many people chase status and the external gratification of success. Those who are truly successful know that what is happening on the inside is fa more important.

You may have met someone that has the ability to do something, but they don't have the capacity. Just becuase you can afford something, does not mean that you deserve it. Alternatively, you might deserve something that you don't yet have the capacity to attain. The ability to get it shows up after you have the capacity to hang onto it.

You can have all of the things that show external success and still be falling apart on the inside. You should be winning in your life, but only if you're committed to the hidden processes that no one sees.

Supporting weight requires weight. The things that you want will crush you if you don't have the strength built up to support it. When you go through the seasons of crushing, you will grow to support the weight of your dreams - a support system.

What are you holding yourself to? How do you grade yourself in life? The standards you set will push you to be the best version of yourself. If you're going to compare, compare yourself to the people that are ahead of you - give yourself a runway to grow.
