Pillars
To Personal Best
Nourishment
- Your body IS your temple.
- Your mind IS your existence.
- Nourish them. Good foods. Good vitamins. Good minerals.
- Don’t over complicate this!
Self Awareness
Dont Talk Behind the Back
Note that doesn’t mean you can’t say anything bad. We need to be able to be honest and candid!
Pay it forwards
Patience
- Many people have an unhealthy relationship with time.
- An obsession with shortcuts.
- Shortcuts almost always lead to Shortcomings.
- Understanding that there is no such thing as a fast track. Embracing the journey and forming a positive bond with paying dues daily is the tried and true method. Focus on one foot in front of the other.
Self Validation
- You do not need to be loved by everyone to prove that you are a good person.
- You do not need anyone else to confirm if you did well at something or not.
- You know the difference between “success” or not. So why do you need confirmation from someone else? Either award yourself the Gold Trophy or analyze what could have been better and execute.
