Here’s some stuff I’m currently thinking about…

These are just some of the things kicking around in my brain right now and I wanted to share them with you in case you find them interesting…

- Never Apologize For Who You Are

You’re wasting your life if you’re not living it on your own terms. I know that sounds harsh, but we spend so much of our lives suffocating behind a mask that sometimes you need a crowbar, in the form of real talk, to wrench it off.

And you shouldn’t apologize for being you. A pretty powerful exercise is going through these few questions:

- What do I value?
— What do others value in me?
— What are my non-negotiables?
— What do I truly enjoy doing?

- Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.” — Napoleon Hill

If you want something bad enough, you’ll make it happen. However, if you don’t want something, even the best of strategies won’t serve you.

Unfortunately, most people are incorrectly seeking strategies of how to get “success” or some other thing. In this way, they are putting the cart before the horse.

- “Choose not to be harmed — and you won’t feel harmed. Don’t feel harmed — and you haven’t been.” — MARCUS AURELIUS

Love this quote. How many times have we taken things completely out of context and at the end of the day all that happened was you got all bent out of shape? hmmmm…..

Hopefully you enjoyed those thoughts…
