DAILY MINDSET **“It doesn’t matter when we start. It doesn’t matter where we start. All that matters is that we start.”** If you’re human, you’ve felt the burn of waiting too long. Felt the pain of a missed opportunity, not due to action, but mis-action. It is wise of us to recognize that it is a human condition to await the better setup. It is our nature to be risk-averse. We want safety, and guaranteed results. Yet the unfortunate guarantee there is that we’ll wake tomorrow

DAILY MINDSET **“Well done is better than well said.” - Benjamin Franklin

** Talk is cheap. Anyone can talk. Only the few, choose to do. There will be a point today where we will feel compelled to express our thoughts to someone. Maybe it’s how something could be done better. Press pause in that moment. “Ductus Exemplo” is a Latin phrase that translates to: “Lead by Example”. Actions will always speak louder than any words.

DAILY MINDSET **“Choices reveal our intentions.”** Every choice we make today is a vote in a certain direction. If we choose to hit the snooze button today, we are more likely to hit it again tomorrow. If we choose to have the snack we shouldn’t be having today, we’re more likely to have the same tomorrow. If we choose to allow negative thoughts to take hold in our mind, we’re more likely to let additional ones consume the rest of our lives. We realize that the choices we mak

DAILY MINDSET **“We’re so busy watching out for what’s just ahead of us that we don’t take time to enjoy where we are.” – Bill Watterson** “Satisfied” feels like a dangerous word. As competitors, we’re always striving for betterment. Through an everlasting hunger to improve, we wake each day looking to press forward. Although a phenomenal quality, this can be a double-edged sword. We can fall into the trap of telling ourselves, “I’ll be happy when”. I’ll be happy when I make

DAILY MINDSET **""Most people think they lack motivation when they really lack clarity."" - James Clear** Rowing harder doesn't help if the boat is headed in the wrong direction. When was the last time you sat quietly on where you would be in a year from today? 5 years from today? 10 years? 20 years? It’s blurry, and should be. Yet this pivotal step is far too often missed, rushed, or even avoided all together. The result: we climb a ladder to a window we never fully intended

DAILY MINDSET **“Integrity is not a noun. It’s a verb.”** Just about everyone “knows” right from wrong. And if one knows right from wrong, they could be said to “have integrity”, as they possess the requisite knowledge. Yet, we know that’s not what real integrity is - as not everyone acts with so. The paradigm shift is as powerful as it is simple: every day, we wake to a chance to live a life of integrity. For some, this may be the sustainment and building upon yesterday. To

DAILY MINDSET **“Seek not good from without; seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.” - Epictetus** When something goes right, we’re relatively quick to point to actions we took to get there. But when something goes wrong, it’s all too easy for us to do the opposite. To play the “blame game”, where we’re using external events as excuses. A core tenant of Mental Toughness is responsibility. To accept that we played a role. But the purpose is not to blame ourselve

DAILY MINDSET **“Champions don’t blame the tools they’ve been given. Champions sharpen them.”** Abraham Lincoln once wrote that if he had six hours to cut down a tree, he would spend the first four sharpening the axe. It doesn’t matter where you started, or even where you’ve been. All that matters is two questions. Where do you want to go, and how hard are you willing to work to get there. We have what we need. Everyone does. The separation comes down to who is willing to do

DAILY MINDSET **“Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” - Scott Adams** How does an echo start? With a tiny sound. One that in and of itself, might not even be noticeable. But shortly thereafter that soft sound, comes it’s echo. Still maybe nothing to turn heads. Yet, this echo builds upon its previous. And again. And then again. Before we know it, it’s impossible to ignore. It’s called the “changing of the

DAILY MINDSET **“Comparison is the death of joy.” -Mark Twain** We are indeed out to destroy someone’s standards. Our own, of yesterday. The opposite of comparison isn’t forfeit, failure, or complacency. It’s participation. It’s the act of joining arms with other like-minded individuals in the pursuit of our *own next best version*.
