Ep. 119 - Every Second of your Life is a Choice The Art of Winning

    • Entrepreneurship

Do you ever feel like you're not living life on your own terms because of other people's opinions? It's a common feeling to do what others think is right instead of what truly makes us happy. This pressure often makes us forget our own dreams. In this episode, Ashton addresses this issue and discusses how many people, including 61% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, fall into a routine driven by fear and a need for approval. Ashton talks about the various excuses people use to avoid stepping out of their comfort zone, which often stem from fear - fear of change, fear of leaving loved ones behind, and fear of judgment.
 
Ashton emphasizes that settling for an average lifestyle, one that mimics our parents or society's norms, is a choice that many people make unconsciously. He urges people to recognize their potential and make choices that align with their dreams and aspirations. He stresses the importance of winning each day, staying focused, and taking responsibility for our own actions instead of blaming external factors. Finally, Ashton passionately encourages everyone to not only dream big but also to put in the effort required to make those dreams a reality.
 
Remember, every second presents a choice – will you choose to be bogged down by mediocrity or rise to be the best version of yourself?

Wealth is a choice; complacency limits potential, while active responsibility drives growth and impact.

"Becoming wealthy, becoming healthy, becoming a better version of yourself, it takes responsibility. It takes responsibility, because you have to come to terms with all the shit that isn't working in your life." – Ashton Levarek
 
"Every second is a choice. Simple as that. And like health, your mindset, your speech, and your actions have to align with your end goal. If you want more money, you must think, talk, and take action that align with that end goal." – Ashton Levarek.
