As humans, we all want to win. We all want to succeed at something, you may not know what exactly yet. But you want to win or succeed at something. It’s part of living, it’s deeply rooted in our DNA since the dawn of time. However, like Jackie Chan once said, nobody wants to learn the art of failing, of dying. Before you can learn the art of winning, you must learn the art of failing. Before you can learn the act of living, you must keen the art of dying. Every single time you fail, fall short, trip or loose. That can be used as a lesson, where did I misstep? What did I do wrong, once you find the answer, then you can extract it and move into the future 1% wiser. This is how you improve. Each time you fail, remember that this mistake, no matter how big or small, catastrophic or insignificant is part of the process. Cut yourself some slack, we all mess up. It’s part of the human experience. It’s ok. All that matters is you take what you can learn from the mistakes and keep pushing forward. Kaizen 🪷 “The one who wins is the individual who persevered no matter what, never the person who encountered no turmoil” - Valentine Verhunce Keep going, you got this! None of the past failures in your life define you. All that matters is what you choose to do with the now.

A lot of people (including myself constantly throughout the past 6 years) get so excited when they think they found some magic potion of motivation that will work every day. Spoiler alert, you didn’t. There WILL be days on every persons path where you don’t want to do anything at all. This is part of the process. Rather than trying to figure out a way to be motivated every single day in order to get the work done. Try to figure out how you can get the work done without the motivation. Try to pool your energy towards functioning even if you don’t have the all the answers or motivation. Why you might ask? Because no one has all the answers. I certainly don’t have all the answers, but I’m ok with that because I’m constantly in pursuit of knowledge and growth. Having the answers doesn’t matter. Learning how to function without them will help more than I can say. “Rather than running from the inevitable storm, learn to seek shelter in the eye” - Cambron Nevill

Alex Hormozi has a great saying that there is an advantage and disadvantage in every situation no matter the cards you have been given. Some people say “I have nothing” and are used by it. However if you change it to “I have nothing to lose”, it doesn’t use you. You use it, as a relentless fuel. Don’t be afraid of failing. Don’t be afraid of loosing. Don’t even be afraid of having nothing.This is where the growth is, you can always choose to use these setbacks as a way to slingshot you forward. Just like a bow and arrow, you need to go back before you can go forward. Stay patient. You got this, what you’re going through is part of the process.

You need to learn to be ok with being alone. You are the only person you will ever have the full right and responsibility to change. And during that change, you will have lonely chapters. This happens because you don't fit in with your old friend group because you're different than them, but you're not different enough to be in the group you want to be in. Embrace the lonely chapter, be patient, and know it's part of the process of getting where you want to be.
