You don’t necessarily have to know your mentors well. Many of my mentors are individuals I have never even met.

Sometimes it may be unrealistic to meet them in person at the moment. You might not have anyone around you who is pursuing the same goals as you or can assist you in reaching them.

The good thing is that there are millions of books, numerous videos, interviews, and other resources available on the internet. Nowadays, you don’t have to personally know someone for them to mentor you.

You will be influenced and guided by someone regardless, so it’s wise to deliberately choose who that person is.

Henry Ford once said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.” Your belief in your abilities determines your success or failure.

The same principle applies to pursuing our goals and living the life we desire. Often, we may feel like we’re making progress, but it’s essential to recognize that our perception can be subjective.

It’s crucial to honestly evaluate our actions and consider the insights of those who can assist us. Ultimately, being self-aware and open to guidance will help us navigate the right path towards our aspirations.

No matter what you’re doing in life, make sure to plan a day off.

Working out is crucial for our physical health, but having days of rest in your weekly schedule is just as important as the days when you do work out. When working, there are rules and laws that require employees to have a day off. You might even be in a relationship and need a day off away from your significant other, LOL.

Regardless of the situation, make sure that you give your best effort and work hard, but always prioritize rest and relaxation. Anything that produces energy can also produce too much of that energy and cause burnout. We are the same way.

You might feel like you don’t want to continue working out, working, going to school, or whatever else you have to do, but it might just be that you are burning yourself out. Slow and steady wins the race. Take the necessary breaks when needed and keep going after that. You got it.

Practice over time equals confidence.

Confidence multiplied by actions, over time, equals success.

Find your insecurities, weaknesses, and flaws, and work on them. Build them up over time through practice.

Eventually, you will become more confident. Take that confidence into whatever you do, whether it’s playing a sport, going on a date, public speaking, school, or anything else.

Do it consistently with unwavering faith in God and yourself, and you will find success—whatever “success”means to you. Once you achieve that success, pay it forward and help others.

Last night, before going to bed, I made plans for my morning.

Firstly, I planned to wake up early before dawn. After that, I planned to do a few things that bring me happiness as well as productivity.

Everything was going as planned until my baby daughter decided she wanted to wake up early as well. Me being the great dad and loving husband that I am, I took the baby to the other room with me so that my wife could get more uninterrupted sleep.

Though I wasn’t able to do many things that I planned this morning, spending that precious time with my daughter was worth the trade. Sometimes things won’t go as planned, but it’s the thought and effort that count.

I’m proud of myself for having a plan and following through. Things might not always go as planned, and that’s okay. I’d be more disappointed in myself if I made all these plans the night before and didn’t even bother to wake up at a decent enough time to achieve all my tasks.

Take action, control what you can control, and make the proper adjustments when obstacles arise.

I was once told as a kid that practice makes you really good, not perfect. There’s no such thing as perfect, and that’s a good thing. There’s always room for improvement.

If you aren’t good at something, whether it’s a sport, a school subject, a skill, or anything else, just continue to practice, practice, practice.

I’ve always been naturally gifted physically — you know, fast, strong, and explosive — but that doesn’t always transfer over to a sport. I still had to practice the skills and mechanics to become good at the sports I played. The natural gifts helped, but it was the repetition and deliberate attempts to improve that helped me the most.

You’re bound to improve. Trust the process and trust yourself. Guaranteed results come from a lot of practice.

They say the greatest enemy of progress is your last success.

Sometimes we can get so caught up and impressed with what we did in the past that it prevents us from progressing. Our past successes should be something we should be proud of, but they should also give us motivation to continue to progress and succeed.

The accolades, degrees earned, and dreams you’ve accomplished all matter, but there’s always more to do and more to give. Keep progressing. Keep succeeding.

Persist Until You Succeed.

Every single person who is successful has learned more things, tried more things, and persisted until they succeeded. Every person who is a failure didn’t.

I hope you have a consistent and persistent month of October and beyond. Just know it’s not a matter of ‘if’ you’ll succeed but ‘when’.

I woke up today, on a Saturday, before 6 am, without an alarm clock.

I never thought I’d be able to do that, nor did I think I’d ever want to. But here I am.

There was a time when the average time I woke up in the morning was after 10 am. It’s crazy how your whole life can change based on your habits and decisions.
