Whatever it is that is holding you back, you can set yourself free. It starts with what you want in your life.

If what you want is bigger than what is holding you back, you can defeat it. You can overcome it. And you can move your life forward.

To set yourself free, you must decide.

‘I know I’m not the only one who, to this day, still sometimes wishes they could just toss a decision over to mom. She’d know what to do.’– Lia Garvin

Make your own decision. Do not delegate your decision-making power to anyone, not even your mom. If you do that, you have given your power away.

To set yourself free, remember that you are not your mistakes.

‘When you realize a mistake wasn’t that big of a deal … then it wasn’t that big of a deal.’– Lia Garvin

Mistakes are not the end of the world. And they are not the end of your life. You are have a life that is bigger than a mistake.

When you make a mistake, own it. Do not beat yourself up for making a mistake. If you do, you will never learn something new.

We learn when we make mistakes, not when we are perfect. Remember, if you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.

If you want to set yourself free, you must stop thinking about your past failures.

‘The only person thinking about if other people are thinking about you is you.’– Lia Garvin

The only way to see where you are going is to focus on where you are going. The only way to reach where you are going is to stay in your own lane. The only way to succeed in life is to mind your own business.

And the only way to set yourself free is to stop thinking about your past failures.

To set yourself free, you must tell yourself what to do.

‘Our inner critic hates when we set goals, it’s literally like, ‘Who is this bitch to tell me what to do.?”– Lia Garvin

Whether your inner critics like your goals or not, if you want to be successful, you must set your goals. Why? Because you need a target. Your target is your destination. If you want to be successful, you must aim at something bigger than you.

How Do You Define Success?

Success is what you do for other people. It is not what you do for yourself. It is not about you. It is about other people.

‘When you’re investing in someone, think of it as a relationship rather than a transaction. The best relationships are based on trust, respect and mutual interests. ‘– W. Brett Wilson

Success is about what you do for other people, how you treat them, how you see them, and how you make them feel.

You are successful when the people around you are successful. If you want people to follow you, you must treat people with respect.

You must treat people with love. Do not treat them with disrespect. If you don’t see people as human beings, they are not going to care about you. And they won’t follow you.

Success means taking ‘a few risks.’

‘Don’t be afraid to try something new. Take a few risks, make a few mistakes. That is how you will learn.’– W. Brett Wilson

Success is more than money. It is life. It is a way of life. It comes from feelings. Even if you don’t have anything, if you feel great about yourself, you are successful.

When it comes to success, do not focus on material things. Instead, focus on what you are becoming.

Success is not comfortable. It comes from taking risks. If you want to be successful, you must be comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Success is health. Without it, you do not have anything. ‘Without it, nothing else matters.’

‘Health is at the top of my priority list because I see it as my biggest asset, Without it, nothing else matters.’- W. Brett Wilson

Take care of your health. Without your health, you are playing with yourself. You are kidding yourself.

With your health, you have everything.

Success is enriching the lives of other people.

‘One of the best ways I know to find real and lasting significance in life is to enrich the lives of others.’– W. Brett Wilson

The world will remember you for what you give, not for what you take from others. So if you want to live a successful life, you must enrich the lives of others.
