Wake up as if there is no tomorrow.
“I believe I achieved mental toughness through life experiences. Every day I get up, I think about how a lot of people live with regrets, saying they wish they could do this or would’ve done that. So, I wake up as if there is no tomorrow. A motto I live by ‘Time is the most precious thing out there, It’s the one thing you can never buy or ever buy back.’ Make the most of it!” — Chase Weber, celebrity trainer and founder of 3-3-3 Training Mind Body & Spirit LA.
When one door closes, break windows.
“”When one door closes…BREAK WINDOWS! Navigate through your journey of success knowing you will walk through sunshine and also have to weather the storms. Keep the positive mindset to never give up.” — Courtney Paul, Bravo TV Fitness Royalty and founder of the CPXperience.
Don’t make comparisons.
“No one has all her eggs in one basket. Diversify, but stay true to your interests. If you really look at the people you admire, they don’t all do one thing.” — Ava DuVernay, Director
Really LIVE.
“You get one life. You can take this opportunity to live it to the fullest and really, really put yourself in the best position possible to be on the Earth as long as possible; or you can help death.” – Kevin Hart, comedian and actor.
Create Your Own Words to Live By
Speaking and thinking words of affirmation, or mantras, is a powerful way to change your mindset and ultimately, change your life. However, the only way a mantra works is if it resonates with every fiber of your being. Here’s a “Mantra Recipe,” courtesy of Oprah.com:
- Make it powerful. Use energetic and strong adjectives, like “fierce,” “light” or “brave.”
- 1/2 hour spent alone journaling about what you want.
- Refinement of what speaks to you as the most pertinent to focus on.
- Written declarative statement.
- 10 minutes daily quiet time sitting or walking slowly to repeat your Mantra.
