Now, don't get me wrong, it is not easy. Anything that is worth, in YOUR mind achieving, comes at a cost. And it takes more than hard work. You have to believe.

Believe in yourself. You have to believe you can, even if you don't think you can. You have to step out of your safe zone, and go where you've never been before. Because just outside of that safe zone, is the prize.

Do not reach for it. Reach it.

You have to accept. Accept the fact that no one is great on day one. That constant honing of the skillset that will get you what you want, is mandatory. Getting better every day takes putting in the effort that it takes to get better. You can get better.

Do not accept your fate. Create it.

You have to clear your mind. The biggest hurdle you will ever face stares back at you in the mirror. Teach your mind to love that person. Get rid of the weight of hate. Hating yourself, your job, your circumstances.

Do not let it bury you. Delete it.

Create the you that you'd love to be. Not fake because that can be the problem in itself. Become the you that you want. The other you, the one you thought you needed to be to make others happy, fails you. Because YOU need to be happy. It all starts there.

Do not put you second. Then you will put others first.

Set a goal. Lots of them. Whether it is to be a great runner, a great coach, a great artist, a great friend, a great employee, whatever. Become it. You can be all of those and more. There are no limits to you. Or, set upon you. Except what you tell yourself you cannot do.

Do not chain your mind. Set it free.

Remember, there is no time limit. No age limit. You can start now no matter where you are in life. The key is to start. To keep going. Positives bring positives. Negatives are easier to deal with when you are convinced you are on an upward spiral. Be the person that you believe you can be. You just may surprise yourself.
