Most people spend their entire life operating with selective urgency.

When they recognize a problem...

Instead of taking action...

They brush it off and make a decision about what's more important to them in the moment.

As the problem continues to present itself ... they repeat this cycle over and over again.

Eventually, the problem becomes too big to ignore.

When this happens … these people finally decide to get urgent and aggressive about finding and implementing the solution.

Only this time ... it's far too late.

There isn't a single person that I consider to be successful who "hates" on other people's success.

Not one.

I'm not talking about the wanna-be entrepreneurs that act like they're a massive success online...

I'm talking about the people who are doing 7, 8, and 9 figures in business...

Every single one of these people root for other people to win.

They help...

They educate...

They impact...

They care...

Effective leaders always tell the truth.

They don't sugarcoat...

They don't decorate their words...

They don't hold anything back...

They tell the raw, unfiltered truth every single time.

While some people may think this is rude or unnecessary...

All effective leaders understand that the truth is the only way to make someone aware of their shortcomings and help them improve the quality of their life.

How many people do you know who put their entire life on pause when their favorite sports team plays?

They shout...

They cheer...

They clap...

They scream...

...and they get very emotionally invested in the outcome.

I get it...

If every social media platform vanished tomorrow...

Would people actually miss you?

Think about it.

Do you have 1,000 followers that just trade likes with you all day long?

Or is your social media a reflection of the real connections you’ve made…

...and the value you've provided for people in the real world?

Everybody wants to be seen and feel valued.

It's an innate desire of all human beings.

But here's the irony...

Most people seek this acceptance by working extremely hard to fit in and be like everybody else.

Then they can't understand why they never stand out or get ahead in life.

What these people fail to realize is that in order to truly be valued...

When you feel the urge to criticize someone...

Pause.

Then take that same energy … and put it out in the form of a compliment to someone who deserves it.

Just like when you don't want to do something and you use the "I don't want to do this" thought as the trigger to get your ass moving.

It's the same with emotional energy.

Want to change your mood instantly?

When you feel frustrated, angry or mad...

Take that energy and make someone's day with it.

It'll make your day, too.

Practice this.

It works.

A loud and undisciplined mind can put you and your life on a path of destruction.

We all have days where we wake up on the wrong side of the bed...

Everything is irritating...

We have no energy...

Everything seems pointless...

...and we'd much rather quit than take another step forward.

We also all have days where everything is going our way...

Nothing can go wrong...

Everything is great...

It's become common to hear people say "know your worth" as if they are underpaid, underappreciated, or too good for where they're at in life.

The truth is, these people are exactly where they're supposed to be...

...and for good reason too.

Your worth is your worth.

If you feel like you're not being compensated or appreciated for the value you provide...

I promise you ... you're wrong.

You're supposed to work hard...

You're supposed to show up on time...

You're supposed to do your job well...

You're supposed to pay your bills...

You're supposed to provide for and take care of your family...

All the pain...

All the struggle...

All the frustration...

All the anger...

All the bullshit you put yourself through...

All of it is an investment in the better times that are coming for you...

...and better times will come because you are creating them...
