Today’s episode discusses how we view opportunities. We think that all opportunities will lead to success, but some of them don’t. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have made the attempt, it just means that you learned what to do better next time. Don’t sell yourself short by not taking the opportunity - follow through with it to see where it leads. You’ll either win or you’ll learn.

Today’s episode discusses how I’ve been knocked down again. I won’t let it defeat me - I have to keep going. My emotions are all over the place right now, but once I get them under control, I’ll go even harder than before.

Today’s episode discusses how we should create a system for ourselves in order to reach our goals. In school, you would level up to the next grade and the teachers kept track of your progress. When you’re an adult, there are no systems to keep you on track, so we tend to fall into a void of nothingness. Get into the mindset of going ‘back to school’ and start creating levels to achieve in your life.

Today’s episode discusses how we allow unnecessary things to take control of our lives. We let outside circumstances consume our lives and we forget about our own. Stay in control of your emotions and your focus. Be disciplined enough to concentrate on your goals and don’t let outside influences deter you. Your time and energy belong to you, so don’t let others take it away.

Today’s episode discusses how we allow perfection to hold us back. Being a perfectionist can be a good or bad thing. It’s good when you hold yourself to a higher standard and you want to give your best consistently, but it’s bad when you hold on to something until you think it’s perfect, and you don’t put it out there. That’s the part that hinders your progress. Whatever it is, improve and make it perfect as you go along. Don’t let time sneak up on you because what you’re doing isn’t perfect yet. Put it out there and move on - perfection will catch up.

Today’s episode discusses how to get back up when life knocks you down. We can’t avoid change, but we can adjust and keep going. Nothing stays the same. When we realize that and know that we still have a chance to thrive, we do better. It’s okay to rest for a moment, but always remember to get back up, because there’s still a chance.

Today’s episode discusses how we make up excuses to stay comfortable. Stop making excuses and start making progress. Excuses is something that we all face everyday, but we must practice taking that first step and getting over it. No procrastination - just get up and do it.

Today’s episode discusses how we interact with each other on a daily basis. Instead of trying to be hard, offer a kind word. People are going through different things in life and your kind word may be their light of hope. Being mean does nothing, but being kind does everything.

Today’s episode discusses going through the process. You can not skip the process and go straight to the results. The process takes time and energy - there’s no other way to be successful. Microwave-able success doesn’t exist. Bet on yourself and take the time to go through your journey.

Today’s episode discusses progress. Life is meant to be experienced. Being stagnant and not pursuing your goals won’t lead to anything. There’s no growth in being perfect. Challenges and obstacles allow you to make progress and grow, not laziness. Never let anyone make you feel guilty or inferior about living your best life.
