By simply changing the way you wake up in the morning, you can transform any area of your life, faster than you ever thought possible.

The average person lets their emotions dictate their actions, while achievers let their commitments dictate their actions.

Being (who you need to be) and doing (what you need to do) are prerequisites for having what you want to have.

We are usually running around trying to get ready for the day, and our minds are often plagued with internal chatter about what we have to do, where we have to go, we have to see, what we forgot to do, the fact that we are running late, a recent argument with our significant other or family member.

It's true that everything happens for a reason, but it is always our responsibility to choose the reasons.

Refrain from judging others based solely on their words and actions, and seek to know their deepest intentions so that you can know who they truly aspire to be, and support them in becoming the best version of themselves.

They say misery loves company, but so does mediocrity. Don't let the limiting beliefs of OTHERS limit what's possible for YOU.

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?

Every single one of us already has everything we need to be the happiest person on earth; it's simply up to us to remember that in every moment.

I find that most of wake up day, not because we genuinely 'want' to, but because we have to. We have to be somewhere, do something, answer to or take care of someone.

It often takes catching a glimpse of how our life would be without something that's valuable to us for us to realize just how valuable it is.

I can't think of anything more empowering than the fact that we are destined to be, do and have anything we choose.

My question to you is: what will YOU do today to become the person you need to be to create the extraordinary life you deserve?
