‘Be happy. Be humble. And always run your own race.‘- Alex Liu

Do not expect life to be fair to you. That is not going to happen. If that is what you are waiting for, you are going to wait forever.

Do not wait for what is not there, for what is not coming. Instead, use what you have right now, use what is working for you right now, to get what you want.

Do not worry about who is ahead of you. Focus your time and energy on what is in front of you right now.

Remember, your tomorrow, your future, depends on what you are doing right now.

So if you want your life to take a different direction, you must think differently. You must work differently. You must meet different people. Because if you do not have the courage to change what is not working for you, then do not expect a different result.

Whatever happens, be happy. Whatever happens, be humble. And no matter what is going on in your life, if you want to win the battle, you must run your own race.

Where You Are Right Now Matters

‘… before you determine where you want to go in the world, there is one critical navigational element. You must first establish exactly where you are.’- Jim Stovall

He is right. It does not matter what you want to do in your life. If you don’t have a strong foundation, it is not going to work.

To take care of your future, you must not forget where you are. Remember, whatever it is that you are doing right now, you are preparing yourself for your future.

If you are playing right now, you are playing with your future. If you are studying, you are studying to make your future a better one. If you are hanging out with the right people, you making your future connections.

Small or big, do not play with what you are doing right now. They can make or break you.

Before you do anything, ask yourself, ‘Is this thing going to be helpful in the future?’ If what you are doing right now is not going to help you achieve your desired future, then stop doing it.

Because if you continue to do it, your life will never change. But if you stop doing it, things will start to change in your life. And your life will never be the same again.
