While minding my own business, a friend of mine came up to me about if I had any influences out there that could help him.
I ask him the question of what he's doing right now, and I LISTENED. As a coach, you get trained in what you're hearing, and I could hear a lot of doubt.
I had to remind him of what a powerful individual he is. He needed to trust himself again.
I've done it, and you've had times of doubt as well.
The key is to TRUST YOURSELF.
Why do you doubt when you've already accomplished so many great things?
You've been there before in epic success throughout your life, and it's OK to have some doubts, but don't let them hold you back.
Doubt and fear are the resistance and the enemy. They only know to stop you from your dreams and believing in yourself.
"Faith cannot exist in the same place that doubt and fear are"
There's no such things as mistakes; just lessons.
Will you believe in yourself? The 3 things that stop people are:
What's ironic is that these same beliefs can also become our greatest strengths when we trust ourselves.
I just had another client come to me telling me they're ready for change, they're committed, and have the passion that they have for their wants.
It was all BS.
When you get good at your craft, you can spot the BS and those that are truly committed.
Once the invitation to work with me is placed on the table, there are distinctions that will give you insights to behave for the results that you are expecting.
When you are a marketer, you don't need other people's money, especially those that keep flaking out, because you have the skill sets that provides you a list of people requiring your services, which also means that YOU get to pick and choose which clients you're going to take on.
Powerful people aren't needy and desperate; they know their purpose every single day. People hang themselves when they say one thing and don't do another in following through with that commitment.
The way you act in one situation of your life, that's how you typically act and behave in all of the other aspects of your life. It's a pattern.
What does this have to do with you?
WAKE UP.
Can you see the patterns in your life? These patterns are what showcase who we really are.
Ask yourself:
* What patterns do I walk around with every day that are showing what I'm really practicing?
* What have I been avoiding, even after I've committed?
* Where can I can I confront that which I have been avoiding??
The pathetic behavior has GOT to stop. Stop complaining and abusing your possibilities and WAKE UP for your own sake.

I recently reread some of Steven Pressfield's books, like The War of Art and The Warrior Ethos. In each of them, there's a theme of resistance that is to be expected any time we prepare for something big.
Kokoro 45 is the juggernaut that I am finding opposition in right now in my life, and right away I felt inadequate, meeting stories that I can't do it.
I'm also going to launch another program called The Movement, meant to go global.
When you strive to become MORE, resistance rears its ugly head. When you DECLARE that you are going to contribute more to society, resistance is there.
The bells of hell go crazy when you choose to expand and grow.
Resistance doesn't just want to wound or maim you, it wants to DESTROY you. That's its job.
So can we avoid it?
No.
There is opposition in all things. I don't know why resistance wages war against things that we want to do to make ourselves better, but no matter how much resistance we have, if we continue to push forward, every single day, we will be able to succeed, growing stronger than ever before.
We are meant to live the greatest lives possible, but we won't be able to do that without resistance.
It will never go away.
Get clear about what you want and your big purpose, and that commitment will help you see the trials through.
You've got to be so full of yourself, so clueless that you start doing
The worst thing you can do is stop. Stubbornness is beautiful because it makes you sink your teeth into resistance.
It will rattle your faith, make you want to play small, and will always be the enemy.
I make sure that every week I take the time to look at my calendar for what's going on as a way to prepare and pump me up for what needs to get done throughout the week.
On my calendar I saw a scheduled Nancy run that caused me to reflect on weakness.
See, I have believed for years that Polynesians can't run, and it's uncomfortable for me to run, always ending in last place (or close to it).
And yet, I thrive in the darkness. I may be powerful in certain areas and not so hot with others, but the more I practice, the better I am.
I'm starting to tell myself a different story that I'm an Endurance Guy now. I embrace stamina and will dominate Kokoro 45 after learning what it is that I need to do. I will love running by the end of all this!
How did I get to this state?
There are people in your life that set these benchmarks, and if I use that as motivation to not only strive for but increase my own performance, I am able to go further than I previously thought.
Find the "rabbit" in your life that you can emulate in your own life. This will light your fire in the places that make you uncomfortable because you see someone else doing what you desire to accomplish.
See it first in your mind, and then create it. You're going to have to do extra work and go the extra mile.
Ask yourself:
* What do I need to do to thrive in the darkness?
* How can I light my fire, no matter how dark/difficult the night gets?
* Where can I confront something in my life that has previously been holding me back?
Learn how to thrive in places that are uncomfortable by stepping into the darkness. If you do this, I have NO DOUBT that your life will prosper.
Everyday I speak with my clients, in a huge variety of positions and careers.
One continual theme that I continue to see is the inevitable doubt and fear that comes. It's in just as many different forms as it was in the variety of careers I coach.
Life isn't made easy with money. Fear and doubt will continue to creep in about being worthy or that it was just a lucky break.
Whatever the case may be, doubt and fear will always be a part of your life; it's the job of resistance that tests you.
Opposition doesn't care.
Fear and doubt aren't out there to be your friend.
These feelings only care about destruction. There is opposition in all things, my friend. Just as we have feelings to build us up, so too will we have the opposite feelings.
So what do we do with these inevitable feelings? Use them as weapons. Make doubt and fear your best friends because they will push you to step out of your comfort zone in order to become a better person.
On the days that you struggle, don't believe the emotions that come with fear and doubt.
If you're on the path of expansion, you're going to be walking the path of resistance in which doubt and fear will be constant companions. Embrace them as friends. It's normal to have them there, so you might as well let these emotions be used in a way that serves you.
I had a lot of fear in starting this podcast.
There were stories that held me back, but upon this recording I've had 40,000 downloads, meaning that what I've said matters.
Maybe it's made a difference to others that can live a higher purpose.
God has a plan for you.
Doubt and fear? It's inevitable to have them.
Choose to remember who you are.
Ask yourself:
* Where have I held myself back because of fear and doubt?
* Why do I think that I'm not worthy to be better?
* How can I make doubt and fear friends instead of enemies?
If you move forward with purpose and get committed to it, greatness will occur.
The other night I was at a carnival with my family, which was absolutely amazing.
I was approached by a man while there about how he wants to be a coach and do what I do. After further clarification, I had a golden question for him:
"Have you hired your own coach?"
"No. Why would I do that?" he asked.
And there was the hypocrisy. You want people to pay you, but you're unwilling to pay someone else to be your coach.
Think of it this way, if you are grossly obese, no one is going to want to hire you to be a fitness trainer. Same goes for spirituality; pointing fingers about living one way and yet living that same sin.
We oftentimes are unwilling to do for ourselves what we want to do for others.
I'm a coach because I've hired and invested in my own coaches.
You may look good on the inside, but you're falling apart on the outside. It doesn't work.
Be real and tell the truth about who you are. A foundation of lying and being dishonest DOESN'T work.
If you say one thing and do another, you are a hypocrite.
If you want people to make sacrifices yet are unwilling to make your own sacrifices, you will not be prosperous.
I will NEVER have my boys do things that I won't do myself. When I tell them that they can do hard things, it's because I do hard things.
One of the greatest things I learned from my mentors, is to LIVE THE LIFE THAT YOUR IDEAL CLIENT DESIRES.
Pay out so that you can get paid. If you get rid of the hypocrisy, you will be happy and fulfilled. I promise you that.
Ask yourself:
* Where am I being a hypocrite and pretender?
* Am I in alignment with what I tell people and what I do?
* What can I do today to live a life of integrity rather than hypocrisy?
Karma is a beautiful thing when you understand how it works.
Today was an AMAZING day, spending time with my boys and my wife.
Why was it so positive for me?
Many years ago, I knew that when I was broke but not in despair, I wanted to live a life that gave me financial freedom to spend TIME with my boys and my goddess every single week.
I've seen these days, and now I'm living it.
We have often heard that if you can see it, than you can believe it and achieve it.
We have the days we have because we made it happen. Whether it's a positive or negative experience, it's on us for what we have created.
WAKE UP!
You can only reap what you have sown.
You can only get what you have given, in whatever area of life you are looking at, whether it's in business, with your family, or how you're body looks.
YOU ARE ALWAYS SOWING SEEDS.
Every action you take is a seed sown. Today you can plant new seeds, new commitments, desires and goals.
Regardless of your past and even your present, you can plant new seeds. It's about daily actions and commitments. You can't plant apples and get bananas, just as you can't plant hate and get kindness.
This is why I sow the seeds of time with my family, continually read spiritual texts, why I workout, eat good food, and work hard in my business.
I am reaping what I have sown, and it has given me a blessed life full of purpose.
Ask yourself:
* What type of seeds am I sowing today in my life?
* What seeds do I need to plant today to create new desires for a life that I want tomorrow?
* What new skill sets or leveling up needs to happen?
You reap what you sow, and YOU are in charge.
"Guess what I did, Daddy?" my son said to me the other day.
"What's that?"
"I tried out for a solo part in the play!"
I was so proud when I heard that my son took the initiative signing up for an auditioned part in his school's musical. It takes a lot of courage to step out of our comfort zone like this.
How many times do you not even attempt to try things because you're afraid? The fear takes over?
The moment I had the proof in my hand for my book, Winning After the Game, I wanted to throw it out.
Why?
BECAUSE OF FEAR.
Fear kills more dreams than anything else. So how do we deal with this fear?
CHOOSE COURAGE.
This doesn't mean that you no longer fear things. Courage states that in spite of the fear, push forward anyway.
Take the first step and choose courage to combat the fear.
As I'm shooting this podcast in the spring of 2016, I could not be more grateful for where I'm at right now, and it took a lot of courage to get to this place right now.
Can you be honest in choosing courage to confront those, especially those we love, in facing that which we fear, instead of cowering from it.
I have gone to war with my wife about heated discussions, and it's made us stronger. Powerful people confront and don't let fear dictate their lives.
The reason we don't act on what it is that we want is because of the destruction we allow from fear instead of greatness from courage.
Fear hinders us from answering what the Voice is telling us. We will always have fear, it's a constant gift to give us contrast and perspective. If we act with courage and confront that fear, we'll act with power.
Ask yourself:
* Where has fear held me back from doing something?
* Who am I to NOT allow courage to give me permission?
* What can I confront in my life today with courage instead of fear?
It's OK to be afraid; but what would it look like to walk by faith and choose courage instead?

I did 10 rounds of rowing 100 meters this morning with some other dudes, and I made up my mind that I was going to destroy these dudes!
And I did.
When you have momentum in life, don't hold back but finish strong.
Sometimes when a record is made, it motivates others to see that not only they can do the same, but the natural competitiveness within us all has a desire to beat that record as well.
When we get clear about what we want, we have authentic power.
Real clarity brings real power.
Keep in mind that even if we're clear about what you want, there's going to be a point that you hit a wall. How do we get beyond the threshold? By remembering the target that we set out for and surround ourselves with people that are also clear about what they want.
You can ALWAYS do more when you have a team of supportive brothers and sisters around you. They will push you to go past the pain that comes with expansion.
Decide what you want to do with your life. Make a decision and then STICK to it, every single day.
You will redline, but if you have the right community, they will help you push through. It's ultimately about choice on your part to hear them, just like everything else in life.
Ask yourself:
* What do I truly want?
* Where in my life am I clear about ?
* What decision am I making today to do what it required to create?
In your moment of decisions, you're destiny is forged.

In today's episode, I share a live feed I recently made from Facebook about how the possibility of doing SealFit Kokoro has gone from the impossible to possible.
Yeah, I mentioned it before about the endurance that was required from 20X, thinking that I would never do the hell that is Kokoro.
And yet, here I am signed up for Kokoro 45 in September, after having faced some stories that were holding me back before.
What were these stories?
Being Polynesian, I wasn't built for what I thought was the typical mold of men that endure Kokoro. I didn't have enough core strength and had no lasting endurance.
There were more and there are always stories that will hold us back from what we can become, so instead of focusing on the stories, I began asking myself the following question:
Who would I have to become to do Kokoro this June?
I would have to become a man that embraces the pain, losing around 40 lbs just to keep up, but more than anything, the price required to do Kokoro will take a huge physical toll after what I experienced in 20X. I know that by signing up for the September program, I will have allowed myself the prep time needed to push and expand beyond every capacity I had ever thought was possible before now.
We are who we are, and we are powerful. We just forget.
A year ago, 6 months, 2 weeks, 4 days ago, Kokoro was not for me. But today, I signed up. It wasn't cheap, but it's a price to pay for what I want.
Why do this?
I have a chance to prove to myself the kind of man that I can be. My mindset is ready to train my core to become strong. I have an outcome and a date. If I'm going to pay the money to sign up and verbally commit, I better be damn ready to pay the price.
How do I do this?
Make my practices so hard that the game becomes easy.
I'm going to have to become somebody who is capable of endurance, surrounding myself with others that are also pushing themselves.
When we are able to move beyond the stories and push past the thresholds that we thought were what was holding us back, we'll discover limitless possibilities on the other side.
Ask yourself:
* What stories are holding me back from achieving greatness?
* What is it that was once impossible for me yesterday that is now a possibility today?
* What kind of a person do I need to become in order to get what I truly want?
It is never comfortable to go beyond our comfort zone, and it requires commitment to see it through.

It was a hot yoga workout kind of day, and while sweat was dripping off of every part of my body, I made the realization that the normal or natural part in us wants to look for the easy way out, but we will never get better that way.
Expansion only comes when facing something that we find difficult, so we might a well smile and enjoy the journey.
Happiness is a frame of mind, not a consequence of when everything is going perfectly, especially in regards to money.
Whether you have lots of money or you don't (I've been in both circumstances), it's about enjoying what you have in the present moment. Happiness is a choice.
Selfishness was never happiness, so even though it's an internal journey, external acts of service bring experiences.
Choose happiness today, like in The Happiness Advantage. You choose happiness because it's the path, not the end result of a journey.
Wanting can be very degrading. The key to happiness is appreciation and gratitude, no matter what stage you're in. There's nothing wrong with wanting more, but you need to choose to be in your current state to enjoy the present journey.
You don't need to wait to be happy; you can choose to be happy today.
Ask yourself:
* Am I happy with my current state of being?
* What can I do to focus more on enjoying the journey?
* What would it take to be happy in going through my experiences?
If you want something more, set the goal and then go get it. Most times the greatest rewards occur in the preparation which you can best use by enjoying the process.

As I coach a whole slew of people from all over the world, every gender and socio-economic background, there's this common theme that I continue to see:
The time that we spend on something shows the value that we place on it.
What we say we value is irrelevant. It's WHERE we spend our time that reveals what we want.
The way I prioritize and plan out my day exhibits what I value based off of where I put my time.
The same goes for you.
We all need to: Allot, Slot, Protect.
What does this mean?
We need to ALLOT time towards something by writing it down and give yourself the time required for what your outcomes and strategies are, including drive/prep time.
Then we SLOT the time into a window within the day, the more consistent we are by establishing a routine (e.g. as soon as I wake up I have a certain ritual that I do to start my day) the more
Last, we PROTECT the time that we've decided to put energy into so that we are not only consistent but thorough because we see the commitments through rather than filling it in with something that we don't truly value.
Why do we do this? Distractions will get in our way from fulfilling the increasing results that we want to do.
Kobe Bryant just retired, and love him or hate him, the man has had an illustrious career.
Growing up in Utah, I hated any other teams that were not the Utah Jazz, especially Jordan and the Bulls. I hated him because he was SO good, and it wasn't until he retired that I was able to appreciate how amazing of a basketball player he was.
I learned from that in how I looked at Kobe Bryant. He knew what it was that he wanted from the beginning, driven by his clarity.
He started his career with the potential to be good, sitting on the bench, saying to Shaquille O'Neal, "I will be the best."
There's no middle ground with Kobe; either he's loved OR hated.
This guy has the most insane work ethic, which is why his body is so beat up. He trained and trained and trained to become the best.
Instead of hating on a man that's great in his craft, what example could you learn from him? Just like I mentioned in the Dark Warrior episode, Kobe embraced the hate and let it fuel him as The Black Mamba, a Dark Warrior that would work through being scrutinized in the public eye.
If you lack space in your life, you are unable to hear the Voice telling you what you need to do. You lose power and capacity and operate at a much lower percentage than what you think of.
You think you're operating at 100% but you're actually at 30-40%.
The modern mentality with all of this "smart" technology has made us glued to our phones, thinking that we must always being doing something.
There's nothing worse than taking your kids to a park or go on a family outing and the only thing you do is look at your phone the whole time.
PUT THE PHONE DOWN.
Time spent with your loved ones needs to be cherished, not used up by technology. Create space from all of the easy distractions that our phones bring.
Get clear about what you want. Clarity brings power in which you're going to be able to see more of that which is around you.
Create a PLAN to create space. Allot time for the things that matter; personal study without relying on technology to provide it.
The reason that most people are exhausted is because they're glued to their phones and tablets until all hours of the day.
Be present with your family and put the phone away/off and make them the top priority. I promise that it means more than you will even realize.
Ask yourself:
* How has my phone become a distraction from spending time with those that are most important to me?
* Where can I improve my time in being present?
* What can I do today to not be so consumed with the distraction of my phone and technology?
Creating space helps you to SEE and HEAR more that what you were missing being sucked into the technology void.

Growing up in the 90s, I will forever be a fan of the Utah Jazz because of Stockton and Malone. Last night, I watched my boy Kobe Bryant (I'll have a whole episode about him soon) score big-time on the Jazz, and some criticized his relentless pursuit towards victory as too intense, but I recognized something else entirely.
The Black Mamba had a "me vs the world" mentality about embracing his Dark Side as termed by Tim Grover.
Look, everyone has a dark side to them, so don't be close-minded on this.
When shit goes sideways, it's the dark side of you that gets things done. If we're threatened, it's not Mr Nice Guy that solves issues.
But don't confuse "dark" with "evil;" it's about learning how to use the passion behind this Dark Warrior to help you get what you want, a concept that Garrett J White from Wake Up Warrior described.
There is a Dark Warrior inside of you that needs to be let out.
This is the person that knows how to execute and play bigger than ever because the Dark Warrior doesn't tolerate weak behavior. Nice guys don't execute greatness and is preventing you from getting the life that you truly want.
Why do you carry unnecessary burdens?
As you know, I'm preparing for Kokoro Seal Fit later this year, so I'm making my training match the intensity of the program.
I train with a 20lb vest and am making my way to 30lbs to counter the weight that I've been losing while working out.
The crazy thing is that after I take the vest off, I feel light as a feather. I purposely put that weight on to make me stronger, but in real life, I see so many people overburden themselves with unnecessary weight, both literally and figuratively.
Why?
Because they're addicted to their story of victimhood. They think that by blaming someone else and shifting their responsibility, they are entitled to remaining unhappy.
I was laying in bed this morning feeling empty and unfulfilled, despite all of this amazing stuff going on in my life.
I'm so grateful for all that I have, but some days there are mornings that I wake up questioning.
What is the purpose of life?
It's simply this: expansion and valuing creation.
How does empty and unfulfilled come about, even with an incredible life?
It's different for everyone, but it drives everyone's purpose and behavior.
Purpose brings about power.
If you don't have a purpose, you will live an unfulfilled life of scarcity feeling like you can never have enough.
When we become so big and great, we must turn around and help others, otherwise we're going to regress from living with a prosperous mindset.
How do we go about fulfilling our purpose?
It comes down to our morning routines and rituals. There are daily actions that we need to do every single morning to create a foundation for prosperous living the rest of the day.
I meditate, send my family messages and let them know that I love them daily, then I get a workout in to get my blood pumping which helps me in turn get my creative juices flowing.
While bringing my boys to go to school this morning, this lady has the nerve and energy to come up to my car and not block her spot because she arrived late.
I told her I could, but she also could arrive on time as well.
Stop placing blame on other people!
Get to a location early. Plan accordingly.
Proper prior preparing prevents piss-poor performance.
There's a tongue twister for you. Sometimes we are going to have days that we didn't get our lives planned, but I'm talking about making this lack of preparation a common way of being.
Stop it.
It's your fault you didn't prepare in time; if you're prepared, you shall not fear.
We all want things in life.
We have dreams, desires and goals to make life better and more fulfilling, but here's what's required:
We've got to learn to give up to level up.
We carry shit from the past in order to move forward in the future.
Let go of things (and sometimes this may require people) that keep you small and comfortable.
There isn't anything wrong with comfort, but if we're stuck in the stories of what we believe and say about ourselves, then there's no room for growth.
When you surround yourself with people that are happy and content with the stage that they're at in life yet you feel stale and stagnant, you MUST let go of these stories in order to level up in life.
I'm preparing for Kokoro Seal Fit 45, and I may be the first Polynesian to do this intense juggernaut, but I MUST be willing to let go of certain things in order to see this event through.
Give up comfort to become more powerful: Give up to go up. Sacrifice brings blessings. You MUST be willing to let go of something that is not serving you in order to become a better person.
Family and date nights, I keep seeing a recurring theme: 99.99% of the times everyone is glued to technology or their phones.
The reason I recognized it because I was just as bad.
I wasted precious moments with my wife, children and loved ones, and now we are invested in interacting with each other.
Clarity is power, so based upon what I want, I had to make a shift from the obsession I had with technology.
This technology addiction caused me to waste memories with those that I love being around the most, so I created a blackout time in which I put my phone away.
It was hard, just like shifting any addiction, but now I love having that time of being off technology.
I do this with coaching events, which always has resistance in the beginning, but eventually this blackout time from technology becomes something we all look forward to.
It's an emotional day after helping my parents out, which has always been a goal in my life to accomplish.
It's never about an accumulation of money, but a utilization of the money we make.
I honor my parents.
I love my parents and know they have made sacrifices over and over and over for me.
They LOVE their grandkids.
How do we honor our parents?
By the way we live. We honor them by the what we do with our lives. We need to be a beacon of light and contributor to society.
What drives me to expand my power? I have a big WHY:
My parents, my wife, my sons, and as a leader.
I truly believe the purpose of existence is expansion; to grow and then help bring others up.
It's a beautiful day to be able to honor my parents in this way by paying their car off.
They've taught me, loved me, and never cast me aside even when I made poor choices.
Take the time today to honor your parents by shooting them a message, a phone call, letter, whatever it may be. HONOR YOUR PARENTS!
I show my boys how it's done to honor their parents so that when they get older, they know that family is the most important legacy we can ever create in our lives.
I'm so grateful to be a parent, and my path is one from living a life as a father and one that leads his family.
In the self-help, personal growth and development world, there's this secret out there to bring you prosperity.
It's all a lie.
All this concept is of having someone save you because of positive thought is simply great marketing.
THERE ARE NO SECRETS TO SUCCESS!
One of the greatest truths is that NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE YOU.
YOU DO THE WORK.
You're responsible for your life; no one else.
I WANT IT! say so many people.
I want a lot of things as well, but what you want is irrelevant: being willing to pay the price by doing the work necessary is what matters.
We all want a lot of things, but if you never address the price to pay, then you never get it.
I’ve lived a life of scarcity and being stressed about money, and I know what I want, but to get it, I have to pay the price.
Paying the price takes time, energy, and leveling up.
You have GOT to level up in order to pay the price, no matter what it is that you do.
I’m preparing for an upcoming Kokoro, and I have got to pay a price to become the man that will be able to finish murph for training in order to enter the void that is in this seal fit juggernaut.
Are you willing to do what is required and pay the piper?
Ask yourself:
* What is the price that I haven’t been willing to pay to get what I want?
* Am I willing to invest?
* What is required to pay the piper to gain prosperity in my life?
Pay the price. What you WANT doesn’t matter if you’re not willing to do what is required and necessary to get there.
In the course of the work that I do, there’s a principle that stands out amongst them all:
WIN WIN
It’s the only way to do business and live: If it’s a win for me and a win for you, then it’s a win for the whole community.
People pay me, and I coach them. Every once and awhile, I get someone that is super committed at the beginning, but they flake out soon after.
How they live their live is irrelevant to me, but if it’s not a win for someone to work with me, then it’s not a win for me. It’s simply a no deal.
This also applies within our own lives; the purpose of existence is expansion. Creating wins for other people are the only way that matter in creating a prosperous mentality; there’s more than enough to go around for all.
When someone steps into scarcity, it’s never a win-win for anybody.
Imagine what this world would look life if people walked around with an abundant mentality?
Ask yourself:
* How often do I force a situation that isn’t working?
* When have I created a win-lose situation in my life? When have I created a win-win situation? Which one had a greater result?
* Can I communicate in such a way that persuades others to WANT to do something?
If you are not playing by the win-win mentality, life is too short to live any other way.
Something was off while renting a car to go to Utah with my family so we get a different car, different agency after being told I would not be charged.
A few days later, I discover I was charged for a car that I didn’t end up driving, so I fought the charge. The amount was irrelevant; the point is that I was charged for something that I was told would have no charge.
It’s about integrity.
How would I expect integrity and honesty in those that I interact with if I don’t remain true to myself and act on something even as seemingly small as this?
If I tolerate a certain action, I’m no longer applying the principles of what I live by.
You’re going to get what you tolerate.
Ask yourself:
* What am I tolerating that is not getting me what I want?
* What are some things in my life that are non-negotiable?
* Where can I take a stand in my life more?
What’s not killing you today is going to kill you later. When you tolerate being good enough in the form of settling, you are not able to receive the prosperity waiting for you.
