You have two choices: Be a boss or work for one.

Which one are you going to pick? You can’t be both so you must choose. Do you want to live your entire life with someone else giving you orders? Telling you when to wake up and when to go home? Making you eat at a specific time and that you can only make so much money. It’s ludicrous to think people want that lifestyle. If you want to be free, truly free, then you’re going to have to work for yourself. You’re going to have to take the risks if you want a better life than you’re living right now!

Don’t let fear make decisions for you.

Be fearless as 2017 has just started. You can achieve anything you want when you decide that NOTHING will stop you from getting what you want. Regardless of what happens, you must keep moving forward. Stop watching episodes of The Walking Dead and get off your ass and work. Put in the hours. You cannot let fear dictate your every move but instead use it as a motivator to push yourself to the next level. Believe in yourself and that you are stronger than you think. 

The attitude you bring to the day is what they day will bring to you. Great attitude, equals a great day.

How many times do you go into work and fucking Carol or Rick is in a miserable mood? They tell you their problems, their body language is negative and you just don’t want to hear it. Fuck them. They are miserable and leave it at that. They choose to attack their day with a negative attitude and the rest of their day will be awful as well as probably their week. More than likely their entire fucking life! You can learn a lot from these people as you do not want to go down their path. Attack each and every day with a positive attitude. Put aside if you’re tired, you have a headache or your girlfriend just blew some other guy last night. She probably isn’t worth it, but you know what I mean. Put all that negative shit aside and attack the day like a fucking boss! Great attitude equates to a great day. Period.

Don’t judge my choices if you don’t understand my reasons.

Don’t let people’s judgement of you impact what you think of yourself. Our positive mindset creates the momentum as we see new opportunities to make things possible. Don’t ever let others talk you out of your dreams. Stay focused and determined and in the end stay committed to your craft and never give up. 

Be careful who you call your friends. I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies. 

I’ve learned over the years as I’ve gotten older that only having a small circle of friends makes a world of difference. We all had our stages in high school and short after that having a zillion friends is the best way to go. That cannot be farther from the truth. You will realize sooner rather than later that having 4-5 close friends is better for you. The more people in your crew the more problems occur. Trust goes out the window, bickering happens and loyalty is never the same. Instead of having 50 jokers that you consider your “friends” you will soon realize that you’ll be in a toxic environment. It never works out. Half of those people are fake and will destroy you. Trust me. It’s happened to me and distancing myself from those people was the best decision I’ve ever made. I look back and hear stories of those people today and I’ve found out that they go through a new set of friends every six months. Its literally a revolving fucking door with them. So what does that tell you about their character? 

Put forth your energy and kindness to the people who care about you. They will be there for you when your in the dumps and will celebrate your accomplishments. Keep those 4 quarters in your pocket and never let them go. 

Your good friend knows all your stories. A best friend helped you with them. 

A true friend is by your side through the best and worse times. You must be grateful for the friends who are always by your side without judging you. They are there during the darkest times to give us advice and lift us up. They are there to celebrate our greatest moments but more importantly, they are with you to write the stories that you will tell a few years from now and stories that will make for lasting memories. Be grateful for your true and loyal friends.
