Here are some principles that have been at the core of my professional evolution.
Focusing on things outside of your control is a waste of time and energy
Your life, journey and circumstances are unique. Do not compare yourself to others, live your own life to the fullest.
Don’t quit a job too quickly. Don’t hate on a sport right away. Don’t give up on the new city you moved to. Don’t break up when there’s an inconvenience. Before you decide something isn’t for you, ask yourself if you gave 110%. If you haven’t, you may end up with regrets down the line and unsure of what you want. You won’t know if something is not for you until you go all in.
Not matter what your doing, be helpful. Your reputation will grow as will the opportunities that come with it. You will also develop skills quicker than your peers doing the bare minimum.
The content you consume. The substances you consume. The food you consume. Your mind, body and soul should be your #1 investment.
The challenges you face can be a blessing in disguise. Learn from them. Grow from them. How you handle difficulties will build your character.
I know Ivy League grads without jobs. I know multi-millionaires who dropped out of college. Talent can be a gift, but hard work will always win.
START NOW! My pet peeve about New Years resolutions is people waste time waiting until the new year. If really a priority, there is no better time to start your goal then NOW.
Your biggest rival is who you were the day before. Hold yourself accountable. Nobody is coming to save you. Be the best version of yourself and get it.
It’s half the battle. Even if it’s not your day, consistency is key.
