Keeping dreams pure is a challenge. Society has a way of destroying them.

If it is something you believe in, go for it!

You create excellence out of habit.

You can’t make a habit out of excellence.

When you're willing to work on your craft or business and put in the hours when everyone else is sleeping, you start pulling away from the pack.

Quick Reframing Lesson:

Stop calling things "problems".

Call them situations.

This slight change in terminology will change your approach to the whole thing.

You've seen me tweet one of these two:

"There are no problems, only solutions"

Or

"There are no problems to solve, only situations to deal with."

I mean it.

If you see things as complex problems (with all the negativity that word bears), you will find it harder to get through it.

Calling it a situation prepares you to deal with it with more calm and composure.

Additional tip:

Affirm 3 to 4 times throughout your day:

"I have no problem in my life"

Even if you do have some.

What this will do is condition you to see things as less complex and more approachable.

Trust me, it's more about how you see it than what it really is.

Have a nice weekend.

It’s a simple thing of math — the more time you put into it, the better you get.

The first thing you should buy with money is a healthier lifestyle.

It’s okay to have bad days, we all have them.

It’s how you respond that counts.

You disrespect yourself when you are not becoming the best version of yourself.

Your entire life changes the day that you decide you will no longer accept mediocrity for yourself.

No worse addictions for a young man than porn, sugar, and comfort.

To be confident is to maintain firm boundaries.

Have more than you show.

Speak less than you know.

You cannot afford to get emotional about other people's decisions.

I've said in the past:

Do not chase people.

If someone walks away from you, let them be.
If they believe they're better off without you, let them go.

Do not hold people back.

If they stay around you against their will, your relationship will turn toxic and unhealthy.

Respect people's choices and boundaries no matter how unreasonable or straight out stupid they might seem.

Your friends are not your kids.
You have no responsibility over them.

This also applies to friends that are stubborn and don't want to listen to your advice.

DO NOT INSIST.

Let them make their own mistakes.

Hard work and success go hand in hand, so buck up!

Care about your appearance.

When you look your best, you feel your best.

Dress like someone who has confidence and let your self-assurance come through in how you look.

Confidence begins at the edge of your comfort zone.

Get uncomfortable--try something new, meet different people or approach a situation in an unconventional way.
