8 times out of 10, your ego is the thing getting in the way of you achieving your goals.
Somewhere out there is someone willing to help you, and you're rejecting their help because you want to go at it alone.
Don't cheat that person out of the opportunity to help, and don't cheat yourself out of the opportunity to get closer to where you want to be because you want to do it alone.
Most people wait to feel motivated before they act.
That's backwards.
You don't feel confident and then take action. You take action and confidence builds from the evidence you stack.
You don't feel happy and then spend time on meaningful work. You spend time on meaningful work and happiness follows.
You don't feel safe and then surround yourself with good people. You choose good people and safety comes from who's around you.
Emotions are outputs, not inputs.
You can't think your way or feel your way into a better life.
You have to act your way into one.
