In life you have three options with any situation that is a challenge. Remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it.

My dad used to say, 'You wouldn't worry so much about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.

Champions get what they want because they know what they want. They have a vision that keeps them motivated and efficiently on track. They see it, feel it, and experience it in their minds and hearts. What is success for you? You won't get there without knowing what it feels and looks like.

Awareness without action is worthless.

Relationships are negotiated and if you deal with ultimatums and authority all the time, then you're not going to get anywhere.

People who consistently win have a clear and thoughtful strategy. They know what they need to do and when they need to do it. They write it down so they stay on course, and avoid any alternative that does not get them closer to the finish line.

This is no dress rehearsal.
