Certain people in your world are addicted to a worst case scenario mindset to the point where they suffer from cognitive dissonance when faced with something good, true, or honorable. Do yourself a favor in this time of social distancing and forever distance yourself from these people. There is always a risk in opportunity and you won't see the opportunity through if you listen to the wrong people.

Being ahead or behind is relative. It actually stems from comparison, but there will be times when you feel like you're behind. How should you behave? How do you get back on top? There is no behind.

In the midst of difficult circumstances, the truth is that life has never been better. You can choose to believe that and have courage, or you can get crushed by the weight of fear and uncertainty. The choice is yours.

In difficult times, your tendency will be to lean out... give up... throw in the towel. Successful people actually have learned to do the opposite. They lean in when difficult times come to find the hidden opportunity that awaits those who look for it.

Your mindset has been optimized for problems. You've trained for this.

I'd rather go through the short period of going all in, whatever it takes to get what I want, then to trade a short period of ease for a long period of average. You need to start looking at your life differently, go all in, and play the long game.

On the other side of the things you don't want to do is a reward that you'll never get if you don't push through. Everything that I have is a product of me pushing through something difficult and obtaining a moment of what I want on the other side. Nothing worth having is free. Get to work.

There's no doubt that we're living in the middle of a historic time and having to deal with things that we've never dealt with before. Keeping your composure is an absolute necessity if you want to stay in the game.

While we tend to focus on the external growth or signs of growth that are happening in our lives and business, we neglect the internal growth that is happening along the way. If you're in a more hidden season, understand that your roots need to grow deeper and become more solidified before you can grow taller.

Life might seem like it's more difficult than ever before. There are setbacks, pandemics, and challenges that we must navigate ever day. Your philosophy (the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge) will determine your perspective. We live in one of the most exciting and opportunistic times - let's keep our perspectives sharp and win the day.
