It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it.
If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment.

One reason AJ Andrews is so good at her job is her ability to ask great questions. She was full of them in our conversation on the @DigginDeepPod. When she asked what separates the best from the rest, Carol Dweck’s work on mindset was the first thing that came to mind.
The 5-Second Rule by Mel Robbins will change your life.
By applying this, you can:
• Activate your prefrontal cortex
• Interrupt your habitual thought loops
• Shift your brain from fight-or-flight to action mode
Here's how it works:
Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve.
You do not have to have a college degree to serve.
You do not have to make your subject and verb agree to serve.
You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
