DAILY MINDSET **“If failure is not an option, neither is success.”** We fear the one who is willing to lose it all. The one who is willing to play full out with no reserves. The one who swings for the fences. That’s a dangerous person. Dangerous enough… to accomplish something great. We all have a comfort zone. A status quo. It’s warm, cozy, and familiar. But it’s a box, with a ceiling and walls that we can see and touch. It’s a world that cannot grow further than what it’s a

DAILY MINDSET **“75% Emotional, 25% Physical”** It’s said that the hardest part about anything is starting. And that once we just take that first step, the successive action seems to just fall into place. And there’s absolutely merit to that… an object in motion tends to stay in motion (Newton). But beyond the surface we want to recognize the truth about us as human beings… that we are emotional creatures. And that our ultimate success is less dependant on the physical action

DAILY MINDSET “Your obsessions become your possessions.” - Ed Mylett The word “obsessed” gets a bad rap. And there’s indeed some merit to that. But let’s try to define “to be obsessed” a little further. What it’s not defined by is "hours put in". That may be correlation, but not causality. One is truly obsessed with something when their passion and fire for “that thing” is so great, that their willpower will see them through even the harshest of storms. Where every other pers

DAILY MINDSET **“There will never be a better you, than you.”** There is a lot to be said about authenticity. The first definition inside Merriam-Webster reads, “worthy of acceptance or belief.” If there’s one sure way to find failure in something, it’s through not being ourselves. It just doesn’t pan out in the long run. While we always remain a student, the harm lies when we blur the lines between emulating the traits of our mentors… with trying to actually be them. Our men

DAILY MINDSET **“You can easily judge the character of a person by how they treat those who can do nothing for them.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe** Cue, craving, response, reward. In “Atomic Habits”, by James Clear, this is the loop process that determines many of our actions. A large part of the above is the final piece - the reward. We can be reward oriented beings. It’s not a bad thing by itself, but we do find ourselves in trouble when it is the *only* thing. The quote a

DAILY MINDSET “Your actions speak so loudly that I can’t hear what you’re saying.” It’s not about what we talk about, but what we tolerate. When we think of our greatest role models, those we truly look up to in life, there’s a consistent commonality we’ll notice… their action under adversity. They achieved something great, under incredibly hard circumstances. They overcame a specific challenge in their darkest hour. And for that, we remember them. Our identity isn’t shaped b

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 **“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. WD > WS.

DAILY MINDSET **"Discipline is choosing between what you want now, and what you want most." -- Abraham Lincoln** The desire to seek immediate gratification can be our mortal enemy. It drives us towards the comfortable choice. The safer option, or the compromise. What we lack in those weak moments is discipline. Discipline is the willingness to stick to goals we set out to do. Emotions and conditions can tempt to sway us, where our discipline can see the temptations for what t
