When you think that all is lost, you must not give up. No matter how much you want to lie down in defeat and pull the covers over your head, you must keep fighting. There is no shame in temporarily retreating to your loved ones, but do not allow yourself to become addicted to their compassion, or it will soon turn to pity. You are merely gathering strength so that you may step out into the battlefield with greater zeal and resolve.

I hope by now you have decided on a mission. Whether it be to expose abuses of power or to save the rain forest, you must be on your purpose. No purpose is any less than any other purpose, but you must have one. You can always change paths later on if the one you’re walking is not right for you, but it is imperative that you start on a path as soon as possible.

If it were easy, you wouldn’t dream about it in the first place and everyone else would already have it. But you are not everyone. You are different. We may not know each other, but the fact that you’re reading this right now means you are the kind of person who won’t settle. You can always stop your journey whenever you want. It’s very easy… but you want more, don’t you.

“The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.”
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
How many of you thought I wasn’t going to meet my stated goal of 8 posts this month?
I’m sure there were at least a handful of you. This month presented a good opportunity to write about this topic, a time when I would be stretched so thin that I might actually fail and have every excuse to do so. But there are no excuses. It does not matter that I got sick twice this month, that I had to host 2 friends in my apartment from out-of-state, that I was doing continuing education, or going to a Tony Robbins seminar, that I was working more than I’ve ever worked in my entire life. When you decide on a personal standard, you must commit to it, no matter what. No exceptions. There is not a human being on this earth who has ever done anything of note without setting a personal standard and committing to it.

I was at the “Unleash the Power Within” event last week, and it was outstanding. Rather than regurgitate the syllabus which would be unfair to Tony Robbins, I’m going to write about the incidental lessons that I learned.
