Better know what you're fighting for.

"They say before you start a war, you better know what you're fighting for."

Why do people quit?  It seems like we can become so passionate about something and then a week later we throw in the white towel and call it quits.  Why???  Well I truly believe it is because we either forget why we are here in the first place or we never had a strong enough "why" to begin with.  Yes it is true that we as people in the 21st century get super lazy, but we can beat that as long as we have a strong enough "why."

 

Today I want you to take two minutes out of your day and ask yourself "why?"  Why do I get up everyday and go to school/work?  Why do I go to the gym or workout every day?  Why do I come home from school dead tired and still stay up another two hours studying?  If you can continue to answer these types of questions and continue to keep that passion burning inside, you will never quit.  I can promise you that.  Best of luck, my friends.

Losing sight of what is most important.

Wow...It has been awhile... I apologize for going MIA for so long.  I let life get the best of me.  I got so busy and slowly lost sight of what was most important.  Don't let this happen to you!  Luckily I am surrounded by some amazing friends and family who have helped me get right back on track.

"The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision."

-Helen Keller

 

"Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore."

This second quote is so great, it really illustrates what I started to get caught up in the last several weeks.  I got so busy and started spending so much time on what I needed to get done now that I never stopped to take two minutes out of my day to remember the big picture.  Your homework/challenge today: please take just those two minutes and remember why you are doing what you are doing.  Remember what that big picture is all about.  Best of luck my friends.  It is good to be back.  See you tomorrow!
