Don’t make excuses!

There are so many things that we can procrastinate about and we can come up with so many different excuses for why we are not doing something. But the actual reason why we procrastinate is really quite simple: We believe that taking action will cause us a certain amount of pain.

We procrastinate because we all have too much to do

We want to dodge things we don’t like.

Set deadlines.  Increase rewards.  Involve others.  Create a habit.

What's your why behind doing it?  Does it serve you?

“Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” - Benjamin Franklin

The struggle to the top is a difficult one.

Embrace, remember and reinforce the struggle.

Reward to journey not the destination.

Build off past experiences.  Don’t make the same mistakes twice.

Be grateful and thankful you were able to live that life, it made you who you are today.

Be wise, be grateful and be humble

“Don't forget where you came from, but always remember where you're going.” - Luke Taylor

To achieve your highest potential, you must learn how to fail forward.

Don’t be a victim.  Don’t be afraid.  Accept things as they are.

Turning Mistakes Into Stepping Stones for Success

The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure. - John C. Maxwell

Accept the blame!

Everyone has faults, no one is perfect.

Taking responsibility when we have chosen an action that upsets others can be a sign of maturity, and shows respect for those around us.

Don’t have a poor me attitude, have it give you power!

Not doing good in school, it's your fault

Don’t like your job, it's your fault

Are you taking 100% responsibility for all your failures, accomplishments, and everything else that is going on in your life?

Take ownership of your actions and your life!

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.” -Henry Ford

Your Big Why is the driving reason you do what you do.

Simon Sinek’s book “Start with Why”.

In it he looks at how great businesses like Apple inspire action and loyalty in both their employees and customers through first and foremost communicating the reason “Why” they are in business rather than the “What” or the “How”. Because before they ‘buy’ the thing that you do or the way that you do it your customers buy into the Reason Why you do it in the first place.

What is the difference you want to make in the world?

What legacy would you like to leave for future generations?

What you do everyday matters more than what you do once in a while.

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out

Consistency allows for measurement.

Consistency creates accountability.

“I am who I am today because of the choices I made yesterday.” - Eleanor Roosevelt
