The only way to get out of mediocrity is to keep shooting for excellence.

Don't make a habit out of choosing what feels good over what's actually good for you.
When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful.
Done is better than perfect if perfect ain't done.

I do not take constructive criticism from people who have never constructed anything.
Success, meaningful success, begins when we take ownership and actively take responsibility for our part in the shortcomings of our life.
Be more intentional about the direction we allow our minds to go. Meaning, when you catch yourself thinking negatively, stop! Redirect to something positive.
Maybe, just maybe, I was pointing the finger because it was easier to make excuses than it was to make adjustments.
Information changes situations.
Bottom line, I removed myself from the victim mentality and took control of my life. I'm not just going to take responsibility for the success in my life - I'm going to take responsibility for the failures in my life. When you're willing to accept that you're the problem, you immediately become the solution.
