The difference is between doing right and being right. Do the right thing and advance.

The only thing you can control is yourself.

There are times to press the gas and times to press the brake. Do so in the wrong sequence and you'll end up somewhere you don't want to be. The danger of going too fast will lead straight to burnout and reckless behavior.

If you get stuck in a rut, one of the greatest weapons is to turn our focus to someone else that is need. The temptation for our generosity is to invest in someone or something that will pay you back. If you want to get out of a rut, invest with no intention of reaping a reward.

Insecurity is the root of a lot of negative emotions. It's much easier for you to achieve what you want to achieve if you can wake up in the morning knowing that today you're going to be exactly who your potential says that you can be. Operating in a way that is pure and what you feel like is right, regardless of what the world thinks about me, will cause you to honor your potential.

Over the last few weeks, I've been getting less and less happy. Everyone has different fuel sources. If you're smart, you will diversify those fuel sources and allow them to propel you forward. Live by this - Wake up discontent and go to bed content. Learn to be happy in all seasons and appreciate the growth along your journey.

The human psyche wasn't designed to go hard all the time. At least one full day per week should be a time to decompress and release the pressure. When that full day off doesn't make you feel better, you are at the end of an energy cycle and it's OK to take a break. Most of us error on the side of expectation - not on the side of the issue itself.

Your "why" will drive you when material things or "success" won't. Don't forget the why behind the what.

You always have an option to compare yourself. You can either let other people decide what your standards are, or you can let the person that you're called to be decide. Don't let ego tell you that you've made it. The true definition of success is doing the little things with same amount of passion and vigor as you do the big things.

Most people give in to fear every day. It's an evolutionary part of our biology, but when it takes over and becomes irrational, it can paralyze you and take you out of the game. Rather than being fearful of fear... learn how to use it for your good.
