@Seanfrank We fell into this trap with Wayflyer. Used a broker to get a better term rate but we did have to use security (residential property). HUGE mistake but we learned a f*ckload in 12 months.
The universe will make sure you'll win if you just keep going. not because life suddenly becomes easier overnight, but because the moment you truly believe in yourself, you stop moving like someone who’s waiting to fail. most people think success belongs to the smart, lucky or talented people. but actually, a huge part of it belongs to the people who refused to stop before the results showed up.
every good thing in your life once existed as something uncertain, something invisible. there were moments where nothing made sense yet but you didn’t quit just because you couldn’t see immediate proof. you kept going anyway, and eventually you got to see it all with your own eyes.
so keep showing up. keep visualizing. keep moving like the life you want is already making its way toward you. appreciate that you are constantly evolving and that this position you are in right now is not your final destination.
cause the universe responds differently to people who trust themselves deeply. people who continue anyway. people who stay committed to the vision even when they have no evidence yet besides faith.
what’s meant for you does not always arrive instantly. sometimes life is preparing you mentally before it delivers what you asked for. sometimes the delay is building the version of you capable enough of handling the blessing properly once it arrives. “every version of you that suffered was shaping the version strong enough to receive what you asked for.”
so stop acting like your dreams are impossible just because they haven’t happened yet. keep believing. keep working. keep aligning yourself with the version of you that already has it. your future is responding to the energy you repeat every single day.
.@danawhite says one of the keys to longevity is to block out all negativity:
“It never even crosses my mind that something's not going to work. I just keep going until it does work.”
“There's this Bruce Lee quote where he says, ‘Never say negative things about yourself or what you're working on even if you're joking, because your body doesn't know the difference.’”
“I never take in any negativity.”
Today is my 45th birthday.
Here's 45 lessons & principles I've collected along the way:
01 - Pessimists sound smart, optimists get rich.
02 - Today is the youngest you'll ever be.
03 - Your happiness depends on the quality of your thoughts.
04 - Don't eat with people you wouldn't starve with.
05 - Trustworthiness beats attractiveness.
06 - Trust is earned in drops and lost in buckets.
07 - If you keep score with your partner, you've already lost.
08 - Spend your time becoming a great person and the right people show up.
09 - Everything we say at funerals should be spoken at birthday parties instead.
10 - Look down for gratitude, around for support, and up for inspiration.
11 - Make a fool of yourself more often. Embarrassment is the cheapest tuition there is.
12 - You are the only person on earth who can use your gifts, so stop waiting for permission.
13 - Everyone is jealous of what you've got, but nobody is jealous of how you got it.
14 - Never compare yourself to someone else's highlight reel.
15 - Live your life like everything is working out.
16 - The price of inaction is almost always higher than the price of being wrong.
17 - Accountability is the currency of autonomy.
18 - Good luck competing against someone who cares and is having fun.
19 - If you stand for everything, you stand for nothing.
20 - Strong position, loosely held.
21 - I'm either winning or I'm learning.
22 - Volatility is good for velocity.
23 - Movements don't start with stopping.
24 - Do the unscalable; that's where real leverage hides.
25 - Most people need to hear something seven times before it sinks in, so repeat yourself shamelessly.
26 - Incentives drive behavior, not the other way around.
27 - Perception is reality, whether you like it or not.
28 - Stories move people; spreadsheets don't.
29 - Marketing takes a day to learn and a lifetime to master.
30 - Don't rush to get big.
31 - Starting something to exit it is weird.
32 - People don't quit companies, they quit leaders.
33 - You're building a team, not a family.
34 - If you wouldn't work with them for a lifetime, don't work with them for five minutes.
35 - Great communicators take ownership of the other person's comprehension.
36 - Scale your thinking through writing.
37 - Every hour of your life is not worth the same. A few are probably worth 100x more than all the others combined.
38 - Givers have to set limits because takers never will.
39 - Be the biggest fan of the people you love, out loud, while they can hear it.
40 - Lift heavy. Walk daily. Cook your own food. Your body is the only one you get.
41 - Money buys options, not character.
42 - Your kids are watching how you handle the hard days, not the easy ones.
43 - Family is the only compounding asset that matters.
44 - Success is daily impatience combined with decades of patience.
45 - Your ducks are probably not in a row. You likely don’t even know where they all are. And one of them is probably a pigeon. Welcome to life.
