The best thing you can do for your future self is to give your absolute best today; right here, right now. There’s no use beating up on yourself about the past or worrying about the future. Great things come from stringing together consecutive “today’s” of giving your best.

The most powerful and profound attribute we have as human beings is agency. Agency means you have the capacity to take action to pursue and achieve goals. You have the ability to solve problems and overcome obstacles … to grow and get better … to change and adapt … to impact the environment around you … to make a positive difference in the lives of other people. Agency means your life is ultimately determined by your choices, not your circumstances.

Agency, however, isn’t absolute. Despite the pretentious claims and extravagant promises of many self-help books, there are limits and constraints to what you are capable of achieving. Having said that, agency is far more powerful than people realize. There are many who don’t come anywhere near reaching their potential. Indeed, most people are capable of doing and accomplishing far more than they think.

Therein lies the challenge: The biggest constraint to human agency and achievement is mindset. The good news is that your mindset is your choice.

What do you think you can do? What do you believe you are capable of accomplishing? Mindset is ground zero … the starting point … the catalyst … the ignition … for human agency and achievement.

Far too many people have simply quit trying. They’ve given up and given in. Instead of an “I will” mindset, they have adopted an “I can’t” or “I won’t” mindset. They have accepted mediocrity. They have settled for something less than best version of themselves.

Don’t compromise. Don’t settle for mediocrity. Take ownership of your mindset. Whatever your life situation, do the inner work and commit to “I will.”

Rodney Mullen is the "Godfather" of skateboarding for inventing most of the sport's tricks.

He started the first skateboarder-owned company, which he eventually sold for $46 million.

In his 50s now, he still skateboards every day.

He attributes his sustained success to this:

"It's such a gift to be able to [do] something and to love it for the sake of it...I have that. I’ve nurtured it in my life."

"I see people with talent, with all those things," he says, "but the one thing they don't have is just that love for doing it for the sake of it...So if there's anything, just find joy in what you do for the sake of it."

There's a word for what Rodney's describing:

Autotelic.

From the Greek "auto" (self) & "telos" (end), an Autotelic is "someone or something that has a purpose in, and not apart from, itself."

As opposed to someone who views their work as a means to some end (money, fame, etc.)—for an Autotelic...

"The work is the win," as Ryan Holiday likes to say.

Since you control the work you put in and not how it’s received...

"Ultimately, you have to love doing it," Ryan once told me. "You have to get to a place where doing the work is the win and everything else is extra.”

You have to "find joy in what you do for the sake of it."

"The closer we get to the core of all being, the more synonymous the effort and its reward.”

Jerry Seinfeld: I'm never not working on material. Every second of my existence, I'm thinking, could I do something with that?

Howard Stern: That, to me, sounds torturous.

Seinfeld: Your blessing in life is when you find the torture you're comfortable with.

If our pain brings understanding, through sufferings, I have been enlightened.

My father left when I was two, I Understand the importance of a being a dad.

My only brother Troy was slaughtered by 4 repeat criminals when I was 25, I understand the difference between vengeance and justice.

Beautiful son Conner committed suicide when he was 22, I understand loss and despair

Battling a rare cancer for 9 yrs, I understand endurance and hope

Above knee amputation Dec 2020, I understand the loss of independence and adapting.

My mom is my hero. My wife, my rock, my daughter, my ride or die. I understand the strength of women.

My son Troy Is my legacy.

Above all, I have a better understanding of faith.

Though nobody wants to suffer it brings us greater understanding and joy when is suffering ends.

I don’t expect most people to understand, heck even I think it’s stupid sometimes. But if I have a goal, nothing stands in the way. I know no limit, just pure focus. Make it work. Keep going. Adapt. Trust my body. One day at a time. That’s how magic happens
