TGIM??? It's Now or Never

It’s Monday morning.  Most of you dread the fact that you are up right now.  You may not be looking forward to going to work, school, or wherever it is you need to be because you are striving to get something out of this.  In order to win,  you need to show greatness.

Where do you think these stories of greatness come from?  They do NOT come from taking it easy.  They come from stepping up to the plate and knocking it out of the park.  Strength isn’t innate, but heart is.  Every step of the way, you are doing what you haven’t done before.  It will always get messy, suck it up.  Every time it hurts a little bit, dig a little deeper – break the habits that defeated you before. 

Progress is being made whether you like it or not.  We all have felt like we’ve hit this wall that won’t let us go any harder, faster, or stronger. We all have the choice what to do next.  

There are many people who want you to succeed, but you are the only one in this fight.  The choice is yours.  Will you face this challenge ready to take you places, or will you find an excuse?

You got this.  Go all the way with the blood, guts, and glory in you to show everyone that you can do what you dreamed of.  It will hurt, but you got this.

HAPPY MONDAY!  LESSSGOOOO

Do You Have Red Ferrari? The Answer is Yes.

I want a red Ferrari.  It is something I’ve desired since I was a little kid.  They are fast, really nice looking, and let’s be honest, AWESOME.  Taking a brief moment to reflect on my life, I have been fortunate.  In the grand scheme of things, everything is pretty, pretty, prettay good (LD reference). 

Recently I’ve discovered that this red Ferrari might be more than just a car.  It may be a symbolic destination.  For example, since I have established at a very young age that this is something that I want and need to obtain, a large part of my life has been directly or proximately involved in achieving this goal.  Nevertheless, the metaphorical red Ferrari is alive and well in most of our dreams and aspirations.  We set goals for ourselves.  These goals no matter how large or small play an important role in the way we conduct ourselves. 

The bigger the goal, the more we will work to achieve that goal.  The harder the challenge, the bigger the reward, the bigger the reward, the larger the risks we will take.  We will work harder and smarter, constantly learn from the missteps, and never lose focus of the big picture, and definitely focus on the small victories on the way.  Otherwise, once you get that red Ferrari, you may forget that you need to enjoy the ride.
