You have to consider the price you pay for inaction. People presume that inaction has no cost. You don't get to not make a choice. Not making a choice is still making a choice. Every minute that goes by that this decision is undone is a choice. Absolutely everything that has happened to you in your life has happened for a reason. You can see that everything is a dot on the map that has led you to this exact. moment. It has given you a person or an experience or a lesson or a skill or a bit of wisdom

that is now part of who you are. And what I want you to know is that standing here in this moment, you are standing on another dot. And this dot is part of the map that is leading to where you're meant to go. I'm talking about making a promise to yourself. So if you say I'm going to go work out at this time, keep that promise. I'm going to eat this kind of food, keep that promise. I'm going to eliminate social media, keep that promise. I'm going to eliminate these negative people, keep that promise. And when you start making promises, small, tiny promises that seem insignificant right

now, but over time stack up and build massive confidence, that's what you're doing, because your confidence is really your reputation with yourself. What's most real might be what's there when the times are hardest. That's a different concept than, you know, the material is what's real. It's like, no, what's real is what sustains you through the worst catastrophe. We just put things off over and over and over again. Why? Because we haven't accepted it. We don't feel deserving.

We don't feel that we're good enough. So we sabotage ourselves by not ever taking care of business. We get real busy doing a lot of things where we don't have any time. Because there's people in the world that have skills and strength and peasant. that I will never have. All have limitations. Does that mean, and I quit? Of course, no. I'm going to try to be the best that I can be. The strongest, the fastest, the smartest. That's what I'm going to go for. It is possible. How close can I get to that greatness? Dreams without goals are just dreams, and they ultimately fuel disappointment. In order to

achieve your goals, you must apply discipline and consistency. The road to sustained happiness is through disciplining your behavior. Discipline needs motivation for breakfast. You don't need motivation. It's great if it arrives. It's some extra fuel on the fire. But discipline is the thing that you need. What would you tomorrow want you today to do? You tomorrow would want you to Keep that promise to yourself. And it's why discipline is so much more valuable. It must be something deeper than what money is.

Something bigger than what's on the face of a dollar. The one thing that is bigger is the face that you see in the mirror. Something inside of the soul that only you and God can see that says there's deeper meaning to life than the job. There's more to you than the dollar amount. You've got to get into your calling. you're calling. You've got to get into the thing that you were chosen to do. And the only way you do that is you got to get off the bench. When people don't have a sense of their purpose, that's an indication of disconnection. But you weren't

connected to you. You had been disconnected from yourself so you don't even feel the capacity to dream again. And so when you are confident, You will experience temporary defeat. When you are insecure and you lack confident, you will interpret temporary defeat as failure, and you will give up. And that is how people become average. That is how people stay average. And that is how years will go by and you will see that person and you will man.

They had so much potential, but for some reason failed to launch in life. and then it's because they accepted doubt and they eroded confidence. I'm gonna what's going on in your life is not permanent. Everything is going to change. So there's two things you can do with change. You can react to it or you can participate in it. It's going to change anyway.

Every day, you have to plan every day. Hard work works. Sometimes, bad. Bad things happen to good people. I don't know why. Life is not fair. And that is the reality. So what do you do?

Are you going to get angry, frustrated? Are you going to lash out at people? Who are you going to lash out at? Are you going to start going down the spiral of negativity? Are you going to let the horrible situation dictate the way you feel and the way you handle it or are you going to lead are you going to face this issue with courage and resolution I say lead step up be the one who people look to absorb the impact and the

negativity draw fire there's more to you than a person that can pay bills There's someone there that can turn the world around. You can be the different maker. You can set an atmosphere. You're an entire vibe all by yourself. But the only way that you become that life, the only way that you become that difference maker is that you get out of the dead ends.

One road you make, the others are for those that trail after you.
