Create your why. When you have a strong reason, especially for people and causes outside of yourself, you will push yourself harder and be much more consistent and focused with your work.
Sleep is something that must be sacrificed from time to time, but in order to maintain consistent success, you need consistent rest, sleep, and recovery.
Live below your means. Put your money back into your business. Purchase assets not accessories!
Create a growth mindset that allows you to improve and learn from every success and every failure. Never stop pursuing your ultimate potential!
Your physical health is important. It not only keeps you physically healthy which allows you less sick days (I’ve had one sick day in the last five years), but it also increases your confidence and other aspects of your mental health.
And most importantly value yourself! If you don’t value yourself and believe that you have the potential to make your dreams come true, you won’t do any of the above. You deserve the life you are willing to work towards! #YouCanHaveSuccess
This is an absolute classic quote. I love what it represents and how it encourages us to use the difficulties we face in life as a way to become more “skilled”.⠀
.⠀
If we can learn to look for the lesson in all of the challenges in our lives, we will turn them into useful experiences. This is a VERY empowering mindset to have. With this approach to life, whatever happens to you has value. Even if it’s awful.⠀

The ancient Greeks recognized a clear connection between the mind and the body, but it's taken a long time for Western medicine to adopt this notion.
But science continues to show over and over again that there's a clear connection between your physical state and your emotional state.
Here are 5 simple ways you can heal your mind with your body:
1️⃣Walk to Reduce Your Depression
Studies show walking for 30 minutes per day reduces depression and improves quality of life. Some studies show walking can be just as effective as antidepressant medication.
Taking regular walks boost emotional health in people who aren't depressed too.
2️⃣Smile to Decrease Your Physical Pain
There’s some truth behind the old saying, "Grin and bear it."
Studies show smiling decreases your heart rate during a stressful activity and reduces pain, even if you don't feel happy.
Frowning, on the other hand, intensifies pain.
So the next time you're about to undergo a painful procedure, think about your 'happy place' or a funny joke, and it might not hurt as much.
3️⃣Take Deep Breaths to Improve Your Attention Span
Studies show people who multi-task have trouble taking tests or performing activities that require sustained concentration.
Taking deep breaths can provide an immediate boost in focus, which can improve performance. Counting breaths gives you an extra boost in concentration.
4️⃣Do Yoga to Reduce Your Stress and Symptoms of PTSD
Research shows yoga increases the level of gamma-aminobutyric acid--a neurotransmitter--in the brain. Increased GABA levels counteract anxiety and other psychiatric conditions.
Yoga is especially beneficial for PTSD. When compared to a control group, people treated with trauma-informed yoga classes show a significant decrease in PTSD symptoms.
5️⃣Lift Weights to Combat Anxiety
Studies show weight lifting reduces anxiety. Fortunately, moderate intensity resistance is all that is needed to combat fear, worry, and nervousness.
