I find this quote by Sun Tzu very apt. Don’t believe you are entitled to success. Seek to earn it. That is the path. Or, as is popular in the current Zeitgeist (which is a bit redundant, I guess), “this is the way”.

What’s Your Self-Love Language?
I’ve heard about our language of self love recently. Fortuitously I stumbled upon this graphic that, in my estimation, explains the different types well.
One thing I’ve been focusing on lately: deliberately doing things that give me energy. Part of Stephen Covey’s “Sharpening Your Saw”. These deliberate actions that help you get better, recharge you, ensure you have the energy to accomplish your goals.
I want my life filed with vigor and joy. Seeking out what fuels my soul is critical. I don’t want to simply be drifting from exhausted night to exhausted morning. This list helps guide me regarding those actions.
Do you find it helpful? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Our fears lie
The lie of our fears:
We’d rather face our regrets
Than fail at passion
It is important to learn the lies our psyche tells us. This holds us back from soi very much. Let’s stand against this together, shall we?
Watch “Watch This Before You Make Another Decision” on YouTube
Ah, good ol’ Gary V! I deeply appreciate his raw “get the fuck off your ass and get to work” videos. See, I dive deep into over-thinking. Churnimg through “what-ifs” is reflexive. And second guessing my choices? I’m a master at that, too. And it drives me nuts. I KNOW it’s a waste. I KNOW you can’t know how any choice would play out differently. Yet my brain churns through this nonsense. These videos are a good reminder to be vigilant against that and stop that waste of energy, that degradation of confidence. Forward! Move forward. Move, and forward. Don’t look back.
It’s Monday morning: what will you do?
Another week begins
Now, what are you going to do
To make yourself grow?
Watch “Seth Godin | Advice that Changed My Life” on YouTube
I just discovered Bryan Elliot’s YouTube series “Behind the Brand” with this video of Seth Godin. As I greatly admire Seth’s work, I went ahead and watched. I found it well worth my time, and feel it’s well worth yours. Overcome disappointment, and move forward.
