There’s a cost involved in living your best life.
It doesn’t come easily and it doesn’t come cheap.
It will cost you time.
It will cost you emotionally.
It will cost you when you care more about what you are trying to achieve than what the people around you do.
Don’t wait until your circumstances are perfect… just start.
Don’t wallow in self-loathing because you didn’t start years ago… just start.

With discipline and focus…

When you’re having a good day and a bad one.
When you have a long list of things to be grateful for and when there isn’t much to say.
When you feel like it and when you don’t.
If a document has every word written in bold, in reality nothing is in bold.
If everything is crucial and important, nothing is crucial or important.
If everything is disastrous or extraordinary, chances are that they are neither.
If all that you do is yell and scream, eventually all that we hear is unintelligible noise.
If you want to be heard.
Some people are proud of their 20 years of experience in a particular field, except that they really have one year’s experience 20 times.
Then there are those with just five years’ experience, but it’s real experience. They have come a long way during that time, continually learning, growing, honing their craft.
What about you?
Do you have real experience?
We have the image of experts as people who are all-knowing about a particular subject.
If you want the correct answer, you go to them.
