Thinking Out Loud

Some opportunities in life only happen once, in a split second decision your future can be radically shifted. Are you ready to get after what you want? Are you ready to step up? Have you trained properly?

Yeah, it’s hard to NOT do things you want to do—but it’s more painful to WANT to do many things and end up doing none of them.

Living up your best self through respecting and loving yourself, through wishing well for yourself like you wish well for others, through knowing your value and contribution to society is more than simply work contribution—it's contribution of your mind, your view, your stance, your acts of kindness, care for others.

Smile more. Stress less.

Build momentum so you don't stay and wallow in your setbacks—instead you course correct and keep going when there's an unexpected turn in the road.

One thing we must remember: every road has turns in it. It's part of the experience of driving.

Get the analogy? We know that as a matter of being alive that we're going to encounter unexpected and unwelcome experiences into our lives. This is part of being alive. It comes with life.

We get the joy of experiencing the most pleasant and amazing things, and sometimes we've got to deal with a bunch of things that makes us feel sad, depressed, and down.

Your goal should not be to maintain, your goal should be to thrive.

How do you move yourself from maintain the status quo—to a thrive mindset?

You’ve got to believe in your ability to create abundance for your life.

Then be disciplined to do the daily required work to consistently move closer to your vision of abundance.

Remove things and people that no longer contribute to where you desire to be.

Be ruthless about it. Accept no excuses, do not settle—leave negative habits and people behind.
