Rise Again From The Struggle

Plato had a few interesting things to say 😂. This one is spot on. Fools need to talk to feel relevant. The wise talk to inform when necessary. Which one are you?

If you truly want the thing, you need to put in the work to be the person that deserves to be that thing.

The funny part about the good old days people talk about is they complained about them being terrible at that time, too. Don't get stuck in the past. Enjoy your present and look forward to whatever the future holds.

If you're not willing to stick l suck at it first, you'll never get good at it second.

I'm not a preacher, but I'm not opposed to sharing wisdom from the Bible in learning that applies universally. This is just great for life in general, regardless of your religious beliefs. When you refuse to accept instruction when needed and believe you are always the smartest person in the room, you will quickly find yourself alone in that room.

Don't be afraid to live. Do the thing. Build a life worth living.

If someone is holding you to a standard you don't want in the moment, it's often because they believe in you more than you believe in yourself. When those around watch you quit on yourself and say nothing, that's because they expect just that out of you.

Just because you have knowledge doesn't mean you can apply it or teach it. Great. You're really good at trivia. Congrats. Now go learn to apply that information when things are getting escalated.

When you know you are doing it, and continue to do it, then it's no longer a habit. It's now an active choice you are making.

Your ego will hold you back way more than anything else when you need to be the best to be satisfied. I have a desire to do well and to win. But my joy in a thing isn't tied to that result. Did I do my best with what I have? Did I improve? And can I still keep growing? That's what I need to know.

The point of training is to be uncomfortable. So why do we like to complain when that's where we get to? I do it to at times. So I get it. But I can flip the switch quickly to keep going because I practice these skills. Can you?

We want to be offended. We want to give excuses. We want to be right. Accept that, talk back to yourself, and move on so you can get better.

It's not the event that created the emotion, it was your mind. You can choose to bring yourself down a negative path or you can choose to solve problems.

You're free to make all the choices you want. I'm also free to ask you to take your unaligned values somewhere else.

Being able to move past what you desired to happen and continue trying to solve the problems in front of you is a great skill. That will take you far in life.

By the very nature of a limit, when you find it, you should fail. That's the point. Learn from the failure, adapt, and go again. The point of training is to continously hit those limits and move them further and further.

It takes courage to feel so ridiculous long enough to not. Most people don't have the courage to stick with things when they feel uncomfortable. To keep going for months when you're not sure if you're progressing like you thought you should. It takes courage to keep pushing those thoughts aside and talking back to them. And when you do, eventually it starts to click. Then you can see the effort co...

Your emotions are your responsibility. You are the only one that can decide to change them.

Just because it starts a little rocky doesn't mean it'll end that way. Even if it does, you'll be better from the lesson it gives.

Nobody else can create safety for you. It's a decision you make on your own. Be willing to hear the truth, accept your reality, and learn a skill. Otherwise, you'll stay stuck where you are.

Building trust with yourself doesn't mean always being right. It means you learn how to be wrong and know how to get back on track.

You can learn at any age. The question is, are you willing to look like you don't know anything long enough to get better? Most people use weak sayings like this as an excuse to stay the same. But you'll be better than that 🤷‍♂️😂

We need to accept that we aren't perfect. We get emotions wrong, too. It happens. That's why we don't act through emotion.

When you're not at your best, do the most with what you have. Getting frustrated and stuck only slows you down. Find a way to maximize the time you have with the version of you that shows up that day.

What you focus on you become. Looks like this is old wisdom. Yet, it still applies.
