Disciplined people win.

“Blessed are the disciplined – for they shall inherit the earth.” – Jesus   

If you ask 100 people “Do you want to do better (be more successful)?” most will say yes.

If you then ask “Are you willing to do what it takes?”, fewer will say yes.

Then ask (or observe) “Are you doing what it takes?”  Very few are.

How to do it is known.

Whether you do it or not is up to you.

Want to be mistake free?

If you are mistake free, you are sitting around doing nothing; and that is the biggest mistake of all.

Therefore it’s impossible to be mistake free. 

Get out there and learn and try and grow and do,

– and become.

More valuable than….well…anything.

Those who have their health have 1000 dreams.  Those who don’t have but one.

People who don’t have their health will pay or trade anything for it.

Keep it while you’ve got it.

What changes do you need to make?

Be for you

“If I am not for myself, who will be for me?” – Hillel the Elder

Are you thinking for you, acting for you, working for you, and cheering for you?

You can't fly under your own radar

“If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you’ll be unhappy for the rest of your life.” – Abraham Maslow

Are you trying to live up to your potential every day by stretching toward what you are capable of?

There are no perfect people

There are no perfect people – and you will not be the first.

You will make mistakes, do dumb things, and fail “tests”.  It’s part of learning.

Pay attention to the lessons – and use it all as fuel to get better.

Help the world – this is how…

Being the best you can be – the best ever-improving version of you that you possibly can, is the best thing you can do for the world.

The world needs more people who are at their best.

It’s your obligation, your responsibility, and your opportunity.

MAKE time

“I don’t have time” is an excuse we can use for not doing the important things, or for not improving ourselves.

But the reality is we all have the same time – 168 hours a week and we use all of it.

It’s a matter of what 168 hours of activity are a priority for you compared to the infinite number of other things you could be doing.

When it’s important enough, you make time.

Don't be nasty

“There is no situation in which it is smart to be nasty” – Millicent Fenwick

Despite what you see on TV and social media, being rude, insulting and cutting people down is not good for you, your reputation, and your career.  

Heck, it’s not even good for you – you become a defensive, offensive, hard, unhappy human.

Don’t be nasty.  State it when you disagree, but do it nicely.

Do you like yourself?

If not, you better work on that.

Do what you are doing in a way that makes you proud of yourself.

Be true to you and live your values. 

Slow down.

Be kind and smile at others.

Stop doing things you hate.

If you don’t like you, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.

Be a you that you like.
