Why do friends and even family hold you back when you have someplace to be…?

Them: Why are you meditating so much?

Why are you hiring a coach? Isn’t that (shudders) expensive?

Why do you wake at 5 am?

Why do you swim in a frosty Atlantic sea each morning?

Why do you live in Portugal?

Me: Erm, why not?

Only those doing nothing have anything (negative) to say about you doing something.

Most people aren’t learning Portuguese, practising pull-ups, or meditating in Mexico.

They’re watching some mind-numbing reality TV program (I said what I said).

They’re escaping in alcohol, affairs and ignoring the truth.

They secretly wish they had your balls.

They’re blaming something, someone – anything but taking responsibility for their progress (or lack of).

Their lives aren’t fulfilling.

But they can be.

I’ve noticed one common trait of successful, motivated – let’s go grab life by the balls – leaders.

Their mental fitness.

They are the people encouraging, cheering, and pushing you forward.

They’re the ones asking questions, actively listening and putting their egos aside.

They’re creating discomfort in the quest for personal and professional fulfilment.

They aren’t settling. Average won’t do. Your progress doesn’t threaten them.

THESE are your people. The ones to be around.

If you’re in a room full of doubt and fear, it spreads. It’s insidious.

Don’t be afraid to demand more.

You deserve it.

Change your thoughts, change your life.
