I Can Do!

Life is a series of choices. People already tell me, “Well I can’t have what you have.” Quite frankly any such iteration of that line is a lie they tell themselves to justify their life choices.

True, not everyone can be a fighter pilot or a surgeon or other high level technical type profession, but everyone can improve upon themselves - but most choose not too.

Rather than participating IN life, many choose to be the spectator. Rather than going the extra mile they do enough to get by.

Most people do not get what it took for me to achieve what I have in life. I have a desire to be IN the game of life and am willing to put in the extra effort NOW (in whatever that may be) so I enjoy the fruits later.

"What happens on weekends and between 6pm and 9am directly affects a person's performance from 9am to 6pm. The person with a constructive off-the-job life nearly always is more successful than the person who lives in a full, dreary home situation."

Patience vs Wisdom

I love how memes can paint the perfect picture!!!

A little patience will take you far in life. In this 'must have it now mindset,' a lack of patience can often lead to our greatest demise. True "Success" does not happen overnight. It takes discipline, work ethic, and diligence. What is gained along the way with the patience of maturing in a venture is wisdom.

Jump in and learn as much as you can when beginning a new adventure but also listen to the wisdom of those who've travelled before you. Allow time for your growth and greater understanding. Learn from the masters in your field to enable your path to be just a little bit straighter.

Mindfulness

Our language is powerful! And none greater than our self-talk. Our language tells us much of what’s going on within our own minds.

The more aware you are of the thoughts and words you use, the better you understand “you” on a daily basis.

Some of the greatest influence we have is with the young.

Be mindful of your words and actions for the subconscious mind of the child is being programmed directly by what you feed it.

During the imprinting years (roughly 0-7) there is a direct connection to the subconscious mind.

It is direct access without any filters. It's like being on the world wide web with no firewall, anti-virus, malware protection of any kind.

Persistence

One trait all successful people inherently understand is persistence. 

When you set a vision, a goal in your mind's eye, if it is worth, it will absolutely be achieved upon your level of can do attitude and persistence - constantly learning and growing as you strive toward its achievement.
