The smarter you get, the less you speak.
Sometimes you have to bite your tongue. There is no point in arguing with someone who wants to bring you down to their level. A strong person knows when to speak, when to talk and when to move on. They don’t have time for silly arguments with those lower than them. Make the other person sit with what they said. Leave them wondering what you’re thinking. Arguing is an immature move made by losers. Keep your mouth shut and learn more.
Train your mind to be calm in every situation.
In life, have the attitude of a warrior. Through every situation, circumstance and day to day struggle, remain calm. A warrior has complete control over his mind-no matter the chaos that ruptures around him, inside, he is untethered. The art of being calm amidst chaos is hard, which is why you must train your mind daily. Period.
Don’t be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try.
Never give up on your dreams. I will always tell you to continue to follow your dreams. The path to success is never straight and perfect. It has many twists and turns along the way. Getting started is the hard thing to do. Take small steps everyday. You’ll be surprised where you are a year from now.
If you can’t handle stress, you won’t manage success.
I’ve said it a million times, you will hit bumps in the road and failures. If you cannot handle those difficult times and even if you do become very successful, you won’t be able to manage your successes! When starting from scratch, you have to be able to dig deep and grind through the tough times. They will come and your character will show if your up for the task! If you handle those failures and get back up, then you know you will handle the success when it comes!
No matter how big your house is, how recent your car is, how big your bank account is, our graves will be the same size. Stay humble.
In our current society, it’s very hard to not become jealous of what other’s have. I’m sure we all know people with million dollar houses a brand new 2017 Lexus and who have much more money than us. You know what, when we die, our tombstones will be the same fucking size. Who cares what you have. I know so many wealthy people who are pricks and look down on other’s who don’t have as much money. I’d rather make 20k a year and be a happy person for what I have then worth 25 million and be miserable. Money doesn’t always talk, your character does. Remember that.
Invest to progress, not to impress.
Invest your time to progress and to reach your goals, not to show off to your buddies. Don’t be that guy that rolls into work and tells everyone that you worked last night in your office till midnight. I got news for you, NO ONE CARES! Put your precious time into investing into your business and goals not to tell Bobby how long you worked last night. Show off when you’ve made it because in the mean time no one gives a shit. Period.
