If you don't make the commitment today to start becoming the person you need to be to create the extraordinary life you really want, what makes you think that tomorrow - or next week, or next month, or next year - is going to be any different? They won't. And that's why you must draw your line in the sand TODAY.

Never let the limitations or insecurities of others limit what is possible for you.

The number one cause of unfulfilled potential is never deciding that NOW matters more than any other time in your life.

Most people's strategy to achieve more is to do more. But when you focus on becoming more, you find that you can achieve more by doing less.

Know that wherever you are in your life right now is both temporary, and exactly where you are supposed to be. You have arrived at this moment to learn what you must learn, so you can become the person you need to be to create the life you truly want. Even when life is difficult or challenging-especially when life is difficult and challenging-the present is always an opportunity for us to learn, grow, and become better than we've ever been before.

Never underestimate the power of gaining a new perspective by simply changing your immediate environment. Going for a walk, reading a book, or talking to a friend can provide you with life-changing insights that you not otherwise attain while remaining stagnant.

If you want to upgrade your circle of influence, it begins with upgrading yourself.
