“There’s a secret that real writers know that wannabe writers don’t, and the secret is this: it’s not the writing part that’s hard. What’s hard is sitting down to write. What keeps us from sitting down is Resistance”.

Maybe you’re young and brimming with ambition. Maybe you’re young and you’re struggling. Maybe you’re stunned to find out how empty it is at the top. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, your worst enemy already lives inside you: your ego.

Rewarding movement is how your brain and body encourage you to participate in life. If you are willing to move, your muscles will give you hope. Your brain will orchestrate pleasure.

“Acceptance is best understood, as non-resistance to reality. Try as you may, no one can make an event that has already happened not have happened”.

What do you need to start doing? What do you need to stop doing? What do you need to continue doing? Right now, is the most important day of your life because you’re living it, the most important day of your life, because it ends in Y (WHY).

People like to imagine that they will “rise to the occasion”. In all truth, people rarely do. What happens, in fact, is that when things get really hard and people are really afraid, they sink to the level of their training. You train your habits. And if a critical moment does come, all you can be is ready for it.

As you replay the best moments from this week, realize there are wins buried inside of every single day that we might not notice, unless we take time to reflect. Whatever it is you have coming up this week, you’re prepared for it.

If the odds of being alive, living, breathing are one in 400 trillion, you won. You have, as you’re listening to this, already done the miraculous. So why not cash in?

Are you crazy enough to trust yourself while the world thinks you’re a little nuts? What are your crazy dreams? What are the really big dreams? What would you dare to dream if you knew you were guaranteed to succeed?

Consider your first paycheck, and how big it seemed then. Or your first apartment, with its own bedroom and bathroom and the Ramen, you gladly scarfed down in the kitchen. Today, as you’ve become more successful, these conditions would hardly feel sufficient.
