Own Your Best Self

Being your best everyday takes mental effort. You can wake up and decide to be confident in your abilities or you can decide to be lazy and unproductive.

Having a choice is a huge advantage. You’re capable of designing your day and your life. It’s the small, daily efforts that push you in the right direction towards your dream.

Your life is your responsibility. Are you going to sit back and see where it goes or are you going to take control and lead the way?

When we put ourselves in negative positions, it holds back our potential. The garbage that surrounds us and enters our minds, will eventually begin to sink into our vision.

When all you see are bad things around you, you’ll think that these bad things are what you deserve. It robs you of your strength to move forward and encourages a ‘lack’ mentality.

Don’t be a victim to your own pessimistic thoughts.

It’s so easy to allow that type of thinking to control your life. It’s easy to be negative, easy to hate, easy to throw insults, easy to not care, easy to be weak.

Don’t treat having a choice as an obstacle. We no longer have to wait on information. There’s no gatekeeper sizing you up to see if you belong. We’ve been so used to being one way, we don’t know how to get up and use our own power to move. Give yourself permission to decide.

Why not choose to be polite, intelligent, confident, loving and kind? Why not choose to be respectful, instead of vulgar? Productive, instead of complacent? Courageous, instead of fearful?

You are not one dimensional – humans have the ability to overcome anything, big or small! All you have to do is believe and make that decision.

You may say, “…but, it’s not that easy…”.

It may not be easy, but it certainly is possible. If there are people out there who can mentally and physically do more with less, surely you can find your potential and do it, too!

Whatever it is, take responsibility for it. It’s yours – the only thing stopping you, is you. Yes, it will take hard work, but the lessons learned and opportunities gained along the way are priceless.

Use your power to say, “I can!” Own your best self. Don’t claim being unhealthy, stagnant, or average. It’s time to put those negative thoughts to rest and start thinking with that hidden power within you.

Don’t hope to be the best, BE the best. Hope can only take you so far. Put some effort into designing your life. After all, it is your choice.

Go after your life with intent and OWN it!

The Sky Is the Limit

Who knows where the sky ends? It keeps going on and on – it’s final destination does not exist. Therefore, it is limitless, meaning it is without limits.

Who would be crazy enough to put a limit on a beautiful creation, such as the sky?

Yet, we place limits on ourselves all the time. We even allow others to place limits on us.

The dangerous part is: we believe it and accept it as true. Then we live it.

Do you realize how much time is wasted believing in something that is absolutely not true?

Better yet, let’s not waste time thinking about that. It’s time to move on. Become who you are. That idea that’s been in your head all this time? Let’s do the research and see if it works.

The sky is the limit. Drink some water and think it through to action.

You don’t know what you are capable of, until you remove your limited way of thinking.

Let this be the last time you utter the words, “I can’t.”

There will always be someone there to push back on every idea and thought you have. Unless you’re around the right people, it’s best to keep those ideas and thoughts to yourself.

Get around those who want to see you thrive and succeed. Learn to believe in the positive support instead of the negative trash. Don’t choose to give your energy to the bad things others say, but give your energy to the greatness that you know you possess!

There’s always room for growth. We’re all great at something. Letting others put a cap on your abilities will mentally hold you back. Don’t listen to them, as they are reflecting their insecurities on you. Just because they didn’t do it, they want to tell you that you can’t do it.

That is not you. The sky is the limit. It can be achieved, but not if you have a limited mindset. Stop allowing other people to put their issues on you. Become self-aware and know who you are. Keep doing the work, whether you’re working on your personal growth or on an outside project.

Continue to do your best. The last thing you want to say in your old age is, “I wish I would have…”

The sky is the limit.

3 Things That Keep You From Taking Action

There are many things that can keep us from moving forward. In the process of meeting your goals, you should have an encouraging environment, healthy mindset and strong belief that you can do it, even when others say you can’t.

Environment. Your environment plays an intricate part in your personal development. The people around you can be critical. It’s easy to be pessimistic and insult others. People will put their insecurities on you and try to make you feel bad, but don’t fall for it. They actually wish they had the guts to do what you are doing. It takes the pressure off of them and places it on you.

Being in a supportive environment will definitely work in your favor. It will force you to level up and face your challenges head on. An encouraging environment allows your creativity to grow. As a result, you will grow as a person and you will reach your goals with confidence.

Stop getting ready to get ready. You have a bright idea and you plan to get started on it right away. Then, you think about what kind of research to do. You dwell on how you’re going to prepare so that everything turns out just right. The bright idea continues to live in your head.

The idea is there, but you’re not moving. You keep procrastinating and thinking. Thinking about it can only take you so far. At some point, you’re going to have to act upon your idea. Get out of your own way and do something to make the idea happen. It will live in your mind forever if you let it. Don’t be a great thinker, be a great action-taker.

Belief. The most important thing is believing in yourself. Others may not believe in you, but you have to bet on yourself. No one is going to trust your idea will happen until you make it happen. If you believe in yourself, you don’t waste time trying to convince other people to believe in you. Your work will speak for itself.

Learn to take a chance on yourself. Don’t wait for permission from someone else – give yourself permission. It’s your idea and you’re responsible for bringing it to light. Others will let you down, but if you believe in what you’re doing, you’ll have the courage to see it through.

These things can hinder your progress when working towards your goals. Make it happen by being around people who support you, take action and believe in the one person you know can do it – you. Stop looking to others for permission and just start. You got this.
