EFFORT

It’s not about perfect. It’s about effort. And when you bring that effort every single day. That’s where transformation happens. That’s how change occurs.
“Every overnight success is 10 years in the making.”-Shelly Pippin

The right time

“Many people think they lack motivation when what they really lack is clarity. It is not always obvious when and where to take action. Some people spend their entire lives waiting for the right time to make an improvement.”-James Clear “Atomic Habits.”

The Fire

This song is great to get your inspiration warmed up. Make sure you let your fire burn today!

The Fire by The Roots

Oh, the fire, the fire
Oh, the fire, the fire
There’s something in your heart
And it’s in your eyes
It’s the fire
Inside you
Let it burn
You don’t say good luck
You say don’t give up
It’s the fire
Inside you
Let it burn
Yeah, and if I’m ever at the crossroads
And start feeling mixed signals like Morse code
My soul starts to grow colder than the North Pole
I try to focus on the whole of where the torch goes
In the tradition of these legendary sports pros
As far as I can see, I’ve made it to the threshold
Lord knows I’ve waited for this a life time
And I’m an icon when I let my light shine
Shine bright as an example of a champion
Taking the advantage, never copping out or canceling
Burn like a chariot, learn how to carry it
Maverick, always above and beyond average
Fuel to the flame that I train with and travel with
Something in my eyes says I’m so close to having the prize
I realize I’m supposed to reach for the skies
Never let somebody try to tell you otherwise
There’s something in your heart
And it’s in your eyes
It’s the fire
Inside you
Let it burn
You don’t say good luck
You say don’t give up
It’s the fire
Inside you
Let it burn
One love, one game, one desire
One flame, one bonfire, let it burn higher
I never show signs of fatigue or turn tired
‘Cause I’m the definition of tragedy turned triumph
It’s David and Goliath; I made it to the eye of the storm
Feeling torn like they fed me to the lions
Before my time starts to wind down like the Mayans
I show ’em how I got the grind down like a science
It sounds like a riot on hush; it’s so quiet
The only thing I hear is my heart–I’m inspired
By the challenge that I find myself standing eye to eye with
Then move like a wise warrior and not be a coward
You can’t escape the history that you was meant to make
That’s why the highest victory is what I’m meant to take
You came to celebrate, I came to cerebrate
I hate losing; I refuse to make the same mistake
Oh, the fire, the fire
Oh, there’s something in your heart
(The fire)
There’s something in your heart
(The fire)
There’s something in your heart
And it’s in your eyes
It’s the fire
Inside you
Let it burn
You don’t say good luck
You say don’t give up
It’s the fire
Inside you
Let it burn
Oh, the fire
Inside you
The fire
Inside you
The fire
Inside you

Greatest weakness

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up-The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”-Thomas Edison

 

He knows what he is talking about. The fabled inventor of the light bulb attempted over 1,000 variants before he got it right- and changed the world.  You never know when your breakthrough will happen. However, you will always know when you break-and that is when you quit.

Have an awesome day!

Stepping or running forward

Sometimes your life can feel like this

Other times it can feel like you are flying through it, gaining progress at break neck speed..

The key isn’t the pace, but the consistency of stride. And the passion you attach to either scenario. We need to love the process, love the steps forward no matter if we gain a lot of ground with each movement. Love yourself a d the process unconditionally!

Have a lovely day!!

Imaginary friends

Worry and hope are two sides of the same coin. Both are beliefs about things that have not happened yet. We can choose which one of those friends we want to hang out with. Why not choose the one that uplifts our spirits, normalizes blood pressure, sends out positive vibes to those around us, and helps release oxytocin and dopamine so we actually feel better? It’s always our choice 🙂

Superpowers to Mastery

“We know from myths and fairy-tales that there are many different powers in this world. One child is given a light saber, another a wizards education. The trick is not to amass all the different kinds of power, but to use well the kind you’ve been granted.”-Susan Cain

superpowers

 

We all have superpowers. Yours could be writing, making people laugh/smile, inspiring others, being an amazing mother/father/brother/sister… The key is to find you powers and amplify them! Bring those superpowers into mastery.

“In the end, mastery involves discovering the most resonant information and integrating it so deeply it fully allows you to fly free.”-Josh Waitzkin

These inspirational quotes were found in Catalyst by Josh McLean.  A book definitely worth a read!

Have a Super Masterful Tuesday!

From Knowledge to Wisdom

To attain knowledge, add things everyday. To attain wisdom, remove things every day.

-Lao Tse

wisdom

We are always learning.

We live in a world where so much knowledge is at our fingertips (quite literally).

It isn’t hard to do an internet search and find the answer to almost any question we can come up with.

Access to information is not a problem.

They key to true learning and growth is wisdom.

We need to unlearn what isn’t serving us.

We need to take the knowledge we have and apply it so it becomes part of who we are.

We also need to do a brain-dump every now and then. Figure out what you no longer need in your life and cut it out.

Work on learning, definitely.

But also focus on turning knowledge into wisdom in order to create a brighter future.
