I am going to tell you about some things that I have learned on my journey, most of them from experience, some of them I heard in passing, many of them I still practice, but all of them I believe, our truth,

life

is not

easy

, it is. no don't try to make it that way

life

isn't fair it never was not fair now and it never will be don't fall into the trap the trap of the right to feel like a victim you are not fair get over it and move on so the question that we should ask ourselves is what success is for us what success is for you is more money it's ok i have nothing against money maybe it's a healthy family maybe it's a happy marriage maybe it's to help others to be famous for being spiritually healthy leaves the world a little better place than you found it continue to ask yourself that question now your answer may change over time and that's fine but do yourself this favor whatever your answer is don't choose anything that might endanger you prioritize yourself who you are who you want to be and don't waste time with anything that antagonizes your character be brave take the hill but first answer that question what's my hill so first we have to define success for ourselves and then we have to put into it work to keep make that daily tally take care of our guard keep the things that are important to us in good condition where you are not is as important as where you are is just as important where we are not where we are seek the first step that leads to our identity in the life is usually not I know who I am I know who I am that is not the first step the first steps I usually know who I am not process of elimination defining ourselves by what we are not is the first step to really knowing who we are .

You know that group of friends you hang out with and they might not bring out the best in you. for you in a pinch or how about that bar we keep going to and always seem to have the worst hangover or that computer screen right on the computer screen that keeps giving us an excuse not to leave the house and engage with the world and get some real human interaction how about that food that would keep even things tasting so good it makes us feel like crap next week we feel lethargic and keep getting fat well those people those places those things they stop giving them their time and energy they just don't go there i mean leave them and when you do this when you leave them you put them there you stop giving them your time inadvertently you spend more time and in more places than they are healthy for you that bring you more jewels why because you just removed the who is the where is the once in the winds that prevented you from accessing your identity accessory too many options i promised too many options would make us a tyrant. excess waste of time decreases your options if you do this accidentally you will have put in front of you almost innocently what is important my process now when who we are is difficult it is difficult take a break eliminate who you are not first you are going to find yourself we can be in instead of creating results to take off let's create more results that pay us back fill us up keep your fire burning burn for the longest amount of time in your future we do our best we don't always make it our architecture possible it's also a verb as we are the architects of our own lives, let's study the habits, the practices, the routines that we have that drive and fuel our success, our joy, our honest painting, our laughter, our own tears, let's analyze that and give. thank you for those things and when we do that, guess what happens, we get better at them and have more to dissect, to discern, choose it because you want it, do it because you want it, we're going to make mistakes, you have to own them and then you. you gotta make a mint and then you gotta move in guilt and regret kills many men before their time so turn the page get out of the ride you are the author of the book of your life you
