‘We are all mirrors reflecting onto one another. The people with whom we surround ourselves shape us.’- Brad Stulberg

Negative people attract other negative people. They are good people, but they are not living like the rest of us. They don’t think like the rest of us. They don’t work like the rest of us. They don’t even believe like the rest of us. And they are not supposed to. Because we are different.

When you are with a negative person, you will struggle to stay alive. Because you are not there. You are not present. You are in your own world. You are trying to make sense of what the person is talking about.

The best way to keep yourself safe, to save your energy, is to focus on the good side of things. It is to focus on what is going well for you. It is to focus on what the Lord has done for you.

Instead of complaining about things, you have what it takes to make things better. You are alive. Yes, you are still here.

You are alive for a reason. God is not joking with you! The fact that you are still here, it is enough to keep you going. If that is not enough, I don’t know what will.

Becoming The Best Version Of Yourself

‘Excellence is not a destination; it is a process of becoming. The real reward isn’t a bigger deadlift, a faster mile, or a sturdier table. The real reward is that you become a better version of yourself.’- Brad Stulberg

Remember that you are in control of your development. You are in charge of your growth. If you want it to happen, you have to be patient with yourself. Do not expect greatness to happen overnight. It is not going to happen.

If that is what you have been waiting for, that is not going to be. Stop waiting for what is not going to happen. Stop waiting for help. Stop waiting for other people to tell you how to live your life.

If you want to get to where you want to be, you have got to start working on things that have the potential to change your life.

That is how you get better. You don’t get better by talking about what you are going to do. You don’t get better by waiting for other people to tell you what is next. You get better by working better. You achieve greatness by doing great things. You get better by taking baby steps, by focusing on what matters to you.

You don’t get better by talking about getting better. You get to excellence by working hard. If you do not give up, if you don’t forget why you are doing what you are doing, you will get there. Be patient.
