Morning Motivation

Today is Friday! What went well this week? Celebrate the things that went well. Leave behind whatever doesn't serve you. Bring the good forward with you into next week.

Every choice you make makes up who you are. You might not have been dealt the best hand in life, but you can choose what mindset you're going to have. Your attitude is going to determine if you are successful or not. So what will you choose?

Don't worry about what has happened in the past. Look at today. How do you want today to go? What would your perfect day look like? Don't worry about what happened yesterday. Move forward.

Everything we see is seen through the filter of ourselves. No matter how factual and neutral you might try to be, you're going to tell stories from the filter of you. But you can still learn from the stories of others. You're human, and you share the human experience with every other human.Epic Heroic Conquest by MusicLFilesLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/8691-epic-heroic-conquestLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

“I already know this.” Do you, though? You might think you know something, but you might not. If you think you already know something, stop and listen even more closely instead of ignoring it.

It's better to not know than to have all the answers. Feigning ignorance can sometimes be beneficial to negotiations. You end up getting more knowledge while lowering someone's guard.

History has been built by people who made the least mistakes. Mistakes mean you're trying. You're always going to fail more than you succeed.

Forcing yourself to do things when they don't work for you makes doing those things difficult. Do things the way they work for you, and the quality of what you're doing is going to be so much better.
