I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.
Maya Angelou
Marcus Ellis and Collin Harbour focus on "belonging" and remind everyone that you belong . . . you belong . . . you belong.  Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.  This is your time - it may take effort and it may not be easy, but you belong.

ARE YOU AT THE END OF YOUR LINE? HOW WOULD YOU EVEN KNOW IF YOU ARE AT THE END, OR THE BEGINNING?
What are you doing to reach your goals now that you have spoken them out loud?
“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” ― Abraham Lincoln, former U.S. President
Make sure you are "sharpening your axe" and planning for success. 
But you can’t just speak it ----- we have the ability to plan.  To plan how we are going to do things.
It is difficult reach our goals without a plan.  Success cannot be achieved without action. 
“Few people have any next, they live from hand to mouth without a plan, and are always at the end of their line.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson, poet and essayist

Motivation is in your mind -- literally.  We all know that being motivated and staying motivated require the right mindset.  You make a decision and you start rolling . . . however, Marcus found an article outlining scientific evidence that motivation can be based on certain features in the mind, which are triggered by getting up, moving forward and being active.

Mark and Collin discuss resilience and persistence in the drive to stay inspired.  It is a daily task for most of us.  It can be mundane.  It can be challenging.  But you need to find ways to eliminate the triggers that are holding you back.  Some of the triggers discussed are:
Fear Shame Guilt Self-Doubt Procrastination We struggle with these, as do others.  Keep in mind that they are holding you back.  Find ways to “kick them to the curb” and move forward.  Develop resilience by finding others with the same challenges and work through them together. 
Most importantly, make sure your mindset is ready to put them aside and achieve your goals.
Don’t worry about what others have . . . this will only place a roadblock between yourself and success.
Others have what you want because they are persistent and resilient.  They do the things that you don’t want to do.
Come join us on the journey!
