"Greatness is defined by how much you want to put into what you do." Lebron James You can never outperform your self-image, or your view of yourself. Be careful what you say to yourself about yourself because we are always listening. To level of your self-image, consider the beliefs you want to hold about yourself to reach all of your goals and dreams. Write out those statements and say them in the morning to be intentional about building your self-image. This Week's Power Phrase: "I will be careful what I say to myself because I am always listening and intentionally build my own self-image."

Your goals and dreams should be just a little scary – meaning a little outside your comfort zone because when you dream big, you grow into who you can become. Most people dream too small or lose the ability to dream because of limiting beliefs or listening to other people's disbelief. The reason we need goals and dreams are less about checking off a box, but instead about who you can become. Making dreaming for a living part of your daily mindset practice. This Week's Power Phrase: "I dream big to help me reach my best and my potential. I have everything inside me to make my dreams happen."
