Gamechangers

Today's assignment: ❤️ LOVE YOURSELF 👉🏽 Don't stress yourself over other people's opinions. They're gonna think what they're gonna think regardless of what you do. ☝🏽 Realize that you have an absolute monopoly on being YOU, there has never, not presently, nor will there ever be another you. 👏🏽 There is greatness inside of you that is yours and yours alone, even if someone else does the same thing as you, they still won't do it LIKE YOU. 👋🏼 Please know that perfection only exists in imperfection. Some days you're gonna be on top of your game and some days you're gonna be all the way off. That doesn't make you a failure, it just makes you human. ✌🏾 It bears repeating again, #loveyourself you are gonna spend a lifetime being you, it works out a lot better if you love the you on the inside. #thinkaboutit -Coach Ed #coachtalk #dowhatmatters #beuncommon #beyourself #mondaymotivation #selfgrowthjourney #selfconfidence #selflove #youareenough #youarebeautiful #yougotthis #iamsomebody #greatnessinside #quotesforlife #qotd #dontbelieveeverythingyouthink #dontgiveup #motivationalquotesdaily #understandtheassignment (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdV5InhubaA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Couldn't have done it without you. If I never failed, I'd never know I could make it back when I did. The tests were rough, but the testimonies were worth it. Remember, if you don't learn the lesson, you'll keep having to re-take the test. #thinkaboutit -Coach Ed #coachtalk #dowhatmatters #beuncommon #icameoutstronger #forgedinfire #lifelessons #toughtimesdontlast #toughtimesdontlasttoughpeopledo #wefalldownbutwegetup #failforward #failedmywaytosuccess #liveandlearn #failedbutnotafailure #felldownbutgotbackup #neverwouldhavemadeitwithoutYOU #wisdomearned (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdPgDnQu03w/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🌩️ Been through the storm, bent, splintered, stretched but not broken. 🥊Been knocked down, but not knocked out. 🏃🏾‍♀️Fell down, but I got back up, brushed the dirt off and got back in the game. 🧮 Failed too many times to count but never but still not a failure. 🕯️Been in the darkest dark, but stil had the faith to see the light in my mind, even when I didn't see it (yet) in real time. I wanted to give up but I couldn't as long as could still envision that light. 🥵 Been through hell, didn't stop to see the sites, had to keep me head up and eyes forward cause I got places to be and hell was just a pass through to get there. 🪖 I stand here now, tried, tested, and here to share the testimony, fortified and suited up, ready for the next battle to come. 🙏🏽 God help me. #thinkaboutit -Coach Ed #coachtalk #dowhatmatters #beuncommon #keepgoing #dontgiveup #dontgivein #keepitmoving #keepyourheadup #keepyoureyesontheprize #cantstopwontstop #notimetolose #nolookingback #cometoofartogiveupnow #keepthefaith #godgotme #neverwouldhavemadeit (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdK3y1LurzG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We have to stop treating happiness as if it's a destination, when in fact, it is a decision. That decision is rooted best in gratitude, realizing that although life is not always a bed of roses, that it is still a garden. Happiness connected to things, places and people can be short-lived almost like a high, you have to keep doing again to achieve the same high again. If you buy a new pair of shoes, you might have that temporary 'high' but eventually the newness and the feeling wears off and now you gotta buy a new pair of shoes and the cycle repeats itself. It's not something that's perpetual. If you spend time waiting to be happy "one day", chances are pretty good that you could wait one day too long and too late. Or you can make the choice to happily live instead of living in hopes of one day somehow achieving or arriving at a place called happiness. Happiness doesn't always mean that you just walk around grinning like a Cheshire cat all the time, happiness is often being content in knowing that you have so much to be happy about and at any given moment you could recall a reason. Give it some thought, despite what you may be facing, try (I mean really try) to consider some reasons to be grateful and reasons that can support the choice to be happy. #thinkaboutit -Coach Ed #coachtalk #dowhatmatters #beuncommon #begrateful #choosetobehappy (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdFyCSFOLVI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Truthfully, what you think of me isn't even my business. You are entitled to your opinion but know that opinions rarely if ever equal FACTS. An opinion is nothing more than what you think about whatever the subject may be. What you think is what YOU think, and I'm not obligated to take what YOU think of me and adopt it as what I think of me. Period. If you like me, great. If you don't, great. Regardless of which way you flow, I'm still great. I was born great and I'll die great. Would I prefer that you like or agree with me? I'd be lying if I said I didn't, but in the same token, if you don't, it's not the end of the world. Always consider the source, and realize that for some folks, the only way they can be on the same level as you, is to try to bring you down to theirs. #thinkaboutit -Coach Ed #coachtalk #dowhatmatters #beuncommon #beyouregardless (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdCYbLluUUF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Don't overthink yourself crazy. More often than not, we spend a lot time and effort trying harder instead of trying better which causes much less stress and fatigue. Working hard is good. Working smart is great. We go through life overthinking and overcomplicating it. Life has enough issues of its own without making any more complicated. Focus on and make peace with what you can control versus what you can't. Focus on what matters versus what won't matter tomorrow. Keep it simple. #thinkaboutit -Coach Ed #coachtalk #dowhatmatters #beuncommon (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CckUJBTu-3t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
