Finding your why starts with asking, "How might your life be better with less?" We tend to think more is better. An unfortunate mindset we've inherited from a go-go-go society. Laser-focused on the promise that success comes when we're willing to put the rest of our life on the backburner.

Our state of mind defines every relationship in our life. So why not make looking after self-care a priority? We may not like what we see in the mirror, but there's no point arguing with the reflection. Self-care is an important first step in taking back control of our lives.

Want to know what our biggest problem is? We think we shouldn't have any.

Yet problems are what make us grow. Problems are what shape our soul. Problems are what make us become more.

I decided in my late twenties that I needed to re-shape some of my limiting beliefs. One in particular had floated above my head like a dark cloud. I adopted a limiting belief early on that I was a horrible student because I thought tests reflected my capability. I carried this ass-backwards limiting belief through high school, college and into university. The mere mention of a test still takes a toll on my sanity. But now I know why and what can be done do to uncover your limiting beliefs so you can live an unmistakable life.

Daily consistency is more important than any other strategy for making progress in life. The mind needs to be exercised to gain strength. It needs to be worked consistently to grow and develop over time.

How many times have you tried to start (insert well intentioned habit) but end up skipping it after a week or two because your mind, not your body, told you that you were too tired?

It's your positive daily rituals that prove your mental fortitude and move you in the direction of your dreams over the long-term.

Very often we get caught up in trying to decipher life. Searching for clarity around our sense of purpose, our sense of meaning, our sense of fulfillment. And because we're so wrapped up thinking about these things, we miss the right-now moment. We can get swept away by our thoughts, or learn to step back and see them with clarity. It's easy to forget it's a choice.

All top performers suffer credibility attacks; learning to embrace them is part of surviving as a top performer. It's okay to have high standards and reach for the stars. Make a commitment to do your best, not be perfect.
