This is your one chance

“There is no cure for birth and death, save to enjoy the interval.” – George Santayana

You were born.  You had no choice in the matter.

You will die.  That is for sure.

This is your chance.

What have you done?

What are you doing? 

What will you do?

One thing that makes a bad day

No getting enough sleep.

A good day begins the night before.  

Go to sleep early.

Don’t play certain games.

“Some games in life, the only way you win is if you don’t play.” – Gary Halbert

Some games are not worth playing.  

Some people are best to just walk away from rather than win with.

Look at the risk, the effort, and the reward, even if you do win.

Are you playing games that you should not play at all?

Belief and Confidence are BUILT.

You don’t talk yourself into confidence – you build it with action.

You can’t sit on the couch and repeat affirmations until you believe in yourself.  

You build belief by going out there and trying and being imperfect and trying again and again until you get it.

Work off faith, or desperation, or ignorance or whatever you need to in the beginning. 

When you get your ass kicked and stick in there and finally overcome / get it right / win / master it, then you really have belief and confidence in yourself.

Action and persistence builds confidence and belief.

Go to war with this person

“To find peace, go to war with yourself.” – David Goggins

Man I just love David Goggins.  I can listen to him all day.

The one holding you back is you.  The one causing your problems is you.

You need to defeat the old you so the new you, who gets new and better results, can take over.

Beat the old you who is causing your problems.

Let’s go.

Youth is now

You will never be younger than you are right now.

There are old billionaires who would trade places with a poor 25-year-old.

Is there something you wanted to do?

Who do you think you are?

Your relationship with your own identity will determine a lot in your life.

Who you think you are determines what you will try, what you will accept, and the level of performance you settle into.

You can change a lot by changing who you think you are and what you think you are capable of.

Who do you think you are?

What holds most people back.

Fear.

That’s what holds most people back.

Fear is manufactured by you.  Whether you let it stop you or not is a choice.

What is fear stopping you from doing?

Move on what you want

Some people say they want something but never do anything to get it.

Some people want things and are willing to do plenty to get them, but don’t know how, so they don’t get started.

 “Whatever you move toward tends to move toward you.” – Jim Rohn

Move on your dream, and your dream will come closer.

You have to be in control of this –

You have to be in charge of what you pay attention to – because it determines your experience of life and how it turns out.

“If you are not doing the programming, you are being programmed.” – Brandon Carr

What do you say no to? 

What “place” do you not even go to because of what you may see/hear there?

What information do you let in?
