DO IT NOW. GET IT DONE.
Attitude is everything. More than anything else in this world, our attitude will determine our destiny. What we think affects every single cell and system in our body.
Never be content with where we are. Seek to improve every single day. When can we get better? Today. Right now. Yesterday's gone and tomorrow is not guaranteed. Every day is an opportunity. Nobody stays the same. We can get better or get worse. Choose to get better.
Parents, teachers and coaches can show us how. But we are the ones who have to do the work.
What is the key to success? Consistency over time. Work as hard and as smart as we possibly can. Always put forth our best effort regardless of what we are doing. Learn from our failures. Expect happiness from our self but nothing from anybody else. The true measure of a person comes when nothing goes right. Have the guts to keep going.
For growth and improvement learn and know our limits. Live at the edge of our limits. Every day try to go a little beyond them. This is how learning takes place.
Have a plan and be organized. We don't have to do it all. Do the important things and do them well. Practice new skills and what we are weak at first. Make our weaknesses our strengths. Consistent daily practice, focusing on the small details, prepares us to be able to display our strengths when we are at our weakest.
Do not make excuses and do not be ignorant. In this day and age there is absolutely no excuse for ignorance. The world's knowledge is at our fingertips. So what if we had a bad parent, teacher, coach, etc. We need to accept it and figure it out. Google it. Ask for help. Get it done. Ultimately we are responsible for ourselves and we are the ones that need to act on our own behalf.
