It’s incredible how something as small as an attitude shift can make a big difference in your life.

The same exact day for me can be seen as a bad day or a good day, depending on how my attitude was throughout that day. When I go workout, my workout is either productive or a waste of time, depending on my attitude when I enter the gym.

I know life is unpredictable, but if we keep the right attitude no matter the situation, I know it’s possible to get over any obstacle and just enjoy life in general.

When you’re in a bad mood or having a bad day, check your attitude first.

I find the most happiness and success from helping others.

It’s something we all must do in some way. It may seem one-sided at times, but whenever I help someone, they also help me in return, even if they don’t realize it.

Helping others can bring a sense of fulfillment by making a positive impact on their lives, fostering connections, and contributing to a greater good, leading to personal satisfaction and a sense of purpose.

So in the words of Maxwell, make sure you “help somebody.”

The cool thing about playing sports in college and even professionally is seeing how everyone got there.

Everyone ended up at the same destination, but we all had different upbringings, backgrounds, and journeys. It shows that it doesn’t always matter how or where you start. It’s still about making the right choices based on your situation.

You may start in a more unfortunate situation than others, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still reach the same heights as others. Conversely, there are people who may start off in a better predicament than others, but they make the wrong choices and squander their opportunities.

The starting point is simply just the starting point. It’s about moving forward no matter what, with your goals in mind with every action.

They say hindsight is 20/20. It is easier to understand or judge a situation after it has happened than when you are in the moment.

Luckily, humans are really good at planning for the future in ways that animals usually aren’t. So, we can look into the future before we even partake in an action, with a hindsight approach.

We should look at all the possible outcomes from an action before we do them. This can save us from a lot of stress and from a lot of bad decisions.

Growing up, those WWJD wristbands were very popular. They looked cool to wear, but most importantly, they were a constant reminder to keep making the right decisions.

It’s key to create some kind of method or habit to assess the effects of your actions rather than always having hindsight. You can create a better future for yourself simply by making the right choices in the present.

One thing that can help us a lot when it comes to success, achieving goals, and just being a good person is willpower.

Willpower is the ability to control and resist impulses to achieve long-term goals or overcome obstacles. It’s something that we can all work on and improve, and something we must have when navigating through life.

A lot of times we know right from wrong. We know the consequences of our decisions, but our willpower is sometimes not strong enough to withhold from making those bad decisions.

Practicing self-discipline, setting clear goals, and developing healthy habits can help improve willpower. It’s something to think about when you’re trying to achieve something in life and you are presented with situations or opportunities that are counterproductive to your goals.

A lot of times, the outcome of a situation, or even our productivity or happiness, comes from our attitude.

Two people can experience the same situation but can have two different outcomes based on their attitude. Your attitude can increase productivity or decrease it. It can make you happy or mad; it can make life enjoyable or miserable.

Attitude is one of the few things that we do have control over, so it’s key to keep the right attitude no matter what, for it will be the catalyst for a lot of things in our lives.

Everything that we do costs something.

You can have a habit that costs you a lot of money, time, or even reputation. The price we pay for our actions is often not foreseen or instant.

We often don’t realize the price we pay for our actions until afterward or until we are no longer doing the action and see different results.

We also may have dreams or aspirations that require us to pay some kind of price. You may have to invest actual money in yourself or pay with your time and energy.

Before making a goal or even a habit, for that matter, look at the price that you have to pay for it. Is it worth the cost? If so, go for it. If not, maybe try something else.
