The Morning Ascent

Success comes from increasing your level of inconvenience.

It's inconvenient to work out when you're tired. Its convenient to roll over and hit the snooze button….it’s easy to make an excuse!

It's inconvenient to ask for help or assistance. It's convenient and easy to use guilt!

It's inconvenient to accept 100% responsibility for your behavior.

It's convenient and easy to blame someone else.

It's inconvenient to tell the truth to ourselves and others. It's convenient and easy to lie or engage avoidance.

It's inconvenient to go the extra mile for a client. It's convenient and easy to say no, it can't be done.

It's inconvenient to prepare and practice. It's convenient and easy to be unprepared while offering a cop out.

It's inconvenient to confront problems head on. It's convenient and easy to pretend that they don't exist.

It's inconvenient to sacrifice and enforce self-discipline. It's convenient and easy to be lazy and procrastinate.

How bad do you want it?

Don’t look for others to hold your heart, take your hand or have your back. You are responsible for your own life and for creating your own path. Commit to move out of your own way. Stop procrastinating or waiting for someone to rescue you.

Be clear about who you can count on and who you must count out.

Make adjustments and surround yourself with positive energy, people and thoughts. Great things take time, effort and sacrifice!!

Keep looking up and moving forward with the end in mind.

Make today your day to shine!
