It Is Not About You

‘Everyone is looking out for themselves. The decisions we make boil down to ‘What’s in it for me?’- Mick Spencer

Life starts with you, but it does not end with you. Life begins with you, but it is not about you. It is about other people. It is about those around you.

Don’t forget that. Always consider other people. Before you make a decision, don’t forget about other people.

People are people. We are all in it to win it. If you want people to pay attention to what you are doing, saying, you must include them. You must tell them why you are doing what you are doing. And you must show them ‘What’s in it for them.’ If not, nothing is going to work.

How To Live Fearlessly

Face whatever is in front of you

‘If you commit wholeheartedly to your gig, and to working diligently on the sidelines with good cheer and a whole lot of follow-through, your Swiss-army-knife effectiveness will earn you a place at the table, and in the room.’– Tim Federle

What is easy? Nothing. But don’t use that as an excuse. If you commit to what you want, success is likely to happen.

Climb in your own plane and crash it today. There’s plenty of open ground in the land of Learning for another smoldering wreckage.’– Jon Acuff

Fear is real. And failure is real. If you want success, you must do what you have got to do to succeed. Don’t give in to fear. If you do, you are not going to make a difference in your life.

‘Every journey has a first step. Every dream has first destination.’– Jon Acuff

Things are not easy the first time. But success requires you to do something. Success requires work. Success is not going to come to you if you are not willing to do something.

Take the first step. Do the first thing. The more you do, the better.

Be confident

‘Confidence doesn’t have to be loud and dominant; it could be mean moving calmly and gently through your decisions, knowing that they make sense to you.’– Emma Gannon

Confidence is doing what makes sense to you. If you are okay with your decisions, you can move forward. But do not do it alone. If you want to do more things in your life, you must believe in yourself.
