Be aware of your own ignorance.
There are many things in life that we’ll never figure out entirely no matter how much time and energy we pour into them. Some are just beyond our senses, perceptions and comprehension. In times of uncertainty it’s important to have faith in a higher power. Something beyond yourself that pushes you forward. You can find this purpose that many are lacking by taking a look at your life physically, mentally and spiritually. What areas are lacking? Where can you improve? When can you start? Ask yourself the right questions.
Trying to know everything will keep you stagnant and confused. Always staying close minded and cut off will keep you slow and out of touch. Learn to find a balance by pursuing the right things consistently. Create a blueprint and refine it through action and results. Analyze what your strengths and weaknesses are. Tailor your schedule around the needle movers that will improve your life overall.
No need to overcomplicate things, especially at the beginning. Start by moving more and getting in shape physically. Stay active and spend time in nature. Sharpen your mind by focusing on your own situation and spending time getting better at the skills that will make you more effective and efficient. Use the knowledge you gain to make more money, build better systems and create better relationships. Have unwavering faith that everything will work out no matter how dire things may seem in the moment. Understand that this is all bigger than you, I or anyone else. Put your trust in God and work hard daily to get on the right track. Start by making better choices everyday and focusing on what really matters.
It’s not always sunshine and rainbows.
Life hits everyone hard at different times. You can be on top of the world and tragedy might strike just as you can be down in the gutter and catch a lucky break. These things are inevitable but understand that you have much more control than you might think. You can choose how to react at any given moment. You can choose to get crushed under the weight of your emotions or you can use that energy to push harder and complete your mission. The choice is always there. Never get blinded by the noise.
The people that are able to push through when times are rough tend to reap the benefits when the wind is at their backs. The momentum builds up over time and we develop experience and resiliency by showing up no matter how bad the weather is. The difficult roadblocks and challenges are what propel us to the next level. Without this adversity we’d never know what we’re made of. Never shy away from these battles. Instead, embrace the opportunity to showcase your capabilities. Lead the charge and make the vision a reality no matter what circumstances lie ahead.
Nothing is ever written in stone. People die. Plans change. Motives differ. Even when we gain things like health, wealth and great relationships they still have to be maintained. We possess things so much as we’re able to secure, defend and care for them. Any materials will also be out of our grasp when we return to dust. It’s important to keep all this in mind when we’re in a jam and it seems like the sky is falling. Never get discouraged when times are tough. Push forward and continue down the path regardless. Your purpose is greater than any material gain or loss. Whenever you get knocked down, dust yourself off and get back in the game.
Bring things to completion.
Leaving too many loose ends untied causes a lot of confusion and distraction. When you say that you are going to do something, complete it to the best of your ability and move on. If you are stuck in an undesired situation, you may have to work hard for a period of time to dig yourself out of that rut and move onto the next chapter. You might have to put your head down and figure it out from scratch. The path may seem very unclear. Don’t get discouraged. Understand that this is all part of the journey.
Put any spare time and energy into finishing the jobs that will get you where you want to go. Hit the ground running everyday by stepping into the arena and gaining more knowledge and experience. Find things that interest you and start practicing in your spare time. Build new income streams by combining skills and offering your services. Understand that time can be used much more effectively. Carve out hours in the day to work on your health, wealth and relationships. Use your knowledge and resources to buy more time so you can devote more to your mission.
Pull the right levers and realize the job never ends. Even if you hit the jackpot and retire, you still have to actively live out every remaining day of your life. Always have direction even if you find yourself to be lucky and taken care of already. Never let outside forces or false perceptions of fear stop you from doing what you want in life.
Trust your instincts and understand that you are here for a reason.
Go out and try different things until you start to zero in on what resonates with your spirit.
Double down and refine your systems as time goes on.
Finish what you start and build your reality every moment of every day.
Bring things to completion.
Start up on the next mission.
Live true to your purpose.
Life is a gift.
