The Currency of Life

Time.

You’re not responsible for your childhood

So stop looking back.  You are responsible for you’re adulthood.

Your power to do anything is NOW.

Character

If the people that like you best are the ones who don’t know you well, you have a problem.  

Who likes you best?

Difference in Commitment Only

There is no difference between you and someone far more successful than you in a given field.  You just have to make the same decision to commit, and do the work.

You can’t be the best at everything, but you can be the best at something.  You choose.

Educated Expectations

Disappointment is the gap between what happened and what you thought was going to happen.  If we spend some time at the outset thinking about what is likely to happen, we can form more realistic expectations.  Heck, we may not do it at all, or we may decide to do it in a different way.

We shouldn’t be disappointed by outcomes, especially with things that take years to complete.  We should see what is coming when we consider all the information.

What will the outcomes be to the things you are working on/involved with now?

Grow

Be around the right people.

Read the right books.

Listen to the right audios.

Grow.

Your greatest growth potential

What are you really good at?  What do you like to do even if you aren’t being paid?  Where are your talents?

That’s where your greatest growth potential is.

Hunger

Do you have a hunger? 

Just the fact that you desire it means it is possible for you.

What is it?

Toll Road

Dreams are free – so we like to have them.  Making them come true is not free.  So we give up on our “dreams” because they weren’t really dreams; they were “nice to haves” – if it was easy. 

What dreams do you have that you’d be willing to pay the price for?

Authenticity

We live in a world where sometimes there seems to be little reality left.  Authenticity is refreshing, and a great asset.

Be real.  Be you.
