We are creative beings,

we were created to create. 

How we think about our lives, are the lives we create. 

How we think about others, are the relationships we create. 

The way choose to understand pain influences the way we process that pain, which in turn changes our overall experiences. We can tell the story about our pain in different ways, which changes the meaning, feeling, and outcome of the pain. 

The simpler the solution, the more skill, dedication, and commitment it takes to execute it well. 

If you are bored: You are doing it wrong.

If you are bored: Your heart is not in it. 

If you are bored: You are not humble or learning because learning new things cannot be boring if you are truly focused on getting better.

To fix boredom: Change your commitment.

Commit to something else, or commit to becoming better, or commit to doing more, or commit to doing it right.

The spark of awareness lights the fire of courage which leads to compassion.

The more useful you are, the smarter you appear. 

The more useful you are, the more needed you become. 

Genius is just high usefulness in a specific area.

When someone is “more” than you,

Listen.

More does not mean better, it is not a character judgment — 

Being more is an assessment of skill, knowledge, or experience…

So when someone who is more than you teaches something you don’t connect with or understand yet, do not find fault, do not find reasons to disagree, don’t create problems that aren’t real – just listen, be humble, and choose to learn.

Personal responsibility is the key to unlocking profound growth.

Personal well-being starts and ends with self-mastery.

The two mental illnesses most people ignore are:

1. Lack of Discipline
2. Self-Pity

Yet, they are also the easiest to cure.
