QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.”John Wooden

In simple terms, everyone's perspective of what 'success' means is different. For some it's having a big healthy family, for others it's having boatloads of money but the thing is that success is inner peace. It's knowing that you have given it your all to achieve what you wanted to.

YOU WILL NEVER GROW

If you want to develop into the best version of yourself possible you have to first break the rope. Here’s a story to illustrate that:There was once this elephant who grew up with his ankle attached to a rope and since he was a baby he could only move around in circles, he's had this rope around his ankle since he was born and even 50 years later when he weighs 5 tons and is more than capable to break the rope, he doesn’t as he doesn’t think he can due to the fact his limits have been set. What he considered possible and not had already been cemented.And there’s a high likelihood that this analogy applies to you, you are able to take control of your life, and do what you want when you want but first, you have to break out of your own invisible rope and similar to the elephant it's all mental, you are living in the system of someone else's beliefs.

If you're finding it difficult to grow in a certain aspect of your life it's worth looking back to figure out why. Our perception of life, what we can do, what we can't, what is good, and what is bad was all cemented for us early on and it's common that if you want to grow you have to first break out of that cement and realise that

the limits that others have set on you are not true to your reality as you create your own reality.

ACTIONABLE NEXT STEPS:

Your actionable next step is awareness, to be aware of what is actually true and what you have been told is true as they are two very different things.

TAKEAWAYS:

For every problem, there is a solution waiting to be un-earthed. Find that solution.
