• Most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. When your mind is telling you that you’re done, completely exhausted and not able to go any further, you’re only at about 40% of your potential. When you get to the 40%, you need to tap into a hidden reserve or energy and motivation.

If you want something, YOU have to go after it. Don’t wait for someone else to give you the opportunity. Don’t wait for someone else to help you. If it’s your dream, it’s on YOU. If you wait, you’ll be waiting until you’re on your deathbed if you don’t take actio...

Pain unlocks the pathway to optimal performance. You have to become friends with pain, instead of running away from it. 

To start living your life at full capacity, embrace the “discomfort zone” by pushing past your comfort zone incrementally, bit by bit.

1. Look into it on a daily basis and tell yourself the truth about where you are and where you want to be.
2. Write down your goals.
3. Hold yourself accountable to your goals on a daily basis.
