When you are working with other people, what you do matters. What you say matters. How you say it matters.

We are emotional animals. People feel it before you hear it from them. They are watching you. They are watching how you treat yourself, They are watching how you treat other people, especially the little ones. They are watching what you say, how you say it, and what you do after the talk.

As a human being, you matter. Do not take it for granted. Do not throw it away. Keep it. Because God gave your position to you. God puts you where you are. God puts you where you are for a reason. You are not there by accident.

You are not alive by accident. You are alive to lift other people up, to change the world around you. You are alive to create a better world. You are here to motivate people to be better human beings. You are alive to give hope to the hopeless. You are here to cook for those who cannot do it for themselves. You are alive to educate people who cannot educate themselves. You are alive to love those who are filled with hate. You are alive to change yourself.

You do not have to be perfect to do all of the above things. You can make them happen even when you do not know how to do it, or where to start from.

If you think you are not the right person, the most qualified person to do it, you are the right person, my friend. Because you do not need a degree to make a difference in other people’s lives. You just need you. And you have you. So why not now, right now?

Think, But Don’t Overthink

Thinking is good. It is the beginning of everything. But if you do it too much, then it becomes your number one enemy to your growth.

Because thinking too much is not doing too much. Thinking too much is not going to change your life if you don’t take your thinking to your own next level.

Don’t get me wrong. It is good to think about things. It is good to think. If you are not thinking, you are not living. If you are not thinking, you are not growing.

If you are not thinking, you are not doing. If you are not thinking, other people are doing your thinking for you.

When that happens, you are not living your life for yourself; you are living for other people. You are chasing their dreams.

Do not let that be you. Because if you are not willing to face your own thoughts, then you are not going to make it past where you are right now. You are going to get stuck in your self-designed rut.

Yes, before you do anything, small or big, make sure that you do your homework, that you ask the right questions. Do not just into it. Ask yourself, ‘Is what I am thinking about even possible to do?’

If you are convinced that you have what it takes to make it happen, then get to work. You will get better at it, but not in the beginning.

Because greatness takes time. You can’t rush mastery. To be good at anything, you have got to be patient. You have got to trust the process. And you have got to trust yourself. Because if you do not believe in yourself, no one is going to believe in you.

You cannot push yourself to achieve greatness. You have got to do the work, the difficult work, the boring work.

If you want to achieve your potential, you have got to stop thinking, start doing. If not, you are going to stay where you are right now, today, this moment, for the rest of your time on earth.

Do not let that be you. Because you are better than that.
