Refine Yourself

26 Dec

“He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away.”

Raymond Hull

Never be less than you are.
You exist to be great.
And as such let no one redefine you.
Move forward building a greater you daily.
Refining is different from outright removal.
Like the potter with the clay you remove bits not layers.
Small changes + big efforts will shape your destiny and create unequivocal greatness.

Your Best Isn’t Good Enough

13 Apr

Your Best Isn’t Good Enough.
No seriously.

Don’t be a coward.
Don’t say I’m putting you down.
Accept the truth.

Now I’m not being the prick you think I am. I’m trying to drive home a point.
My point is that you can’t make excuses. There is never a time your best is good enough.
Your everything is acceptable.

Now maybe I’m confusing you.
Let me clear this up a bit.
A lot of people will say they did their best. But what really is your best?
Is it that today you did a lot?
Almost made it your goal, but not quite…

You see most people will tell you they do their best day in and day out.
I call foul on the play.

If you are giving your best you will succeed. But only you know if you are giving your best.

I’ll do you one better: Aim for Excellence.

When excellence is your goal you will go beyond your best.
There will be no excuses.
Simple applied action.

Let your mindset be that failure is not an option.
That you will achieve relentlessly.

That my friends is how things are done.

The pursuit of excellence has to be just that- you, chasing the dream and living it as you do so.
No excuses. No “just your best”.
Nothing else except you killing it.

You Are A Failure

11 Mar

You Are A Failure.

That simple.
Embrace it.

No seriously- Embrace It.

You see what I’ve learned since 2014 started is that when I fail I do two things:
1) Pick myself up.
2) Learn from it.

While 2014 has me embarking on a new journey while I hone skills in old ones and close the doors on others I learned that failure is key about 5 weeks ago.

You see I missed a small deadline.
Nothing major, no lost funding, or revenue.
But I missed it, and it worked wonders.

How you ask?

By realizing my failure I learned I had to implement a better in house system to monitor my actions.
And after that I realized that with this system I had to have a way to factor in accountability so I would learn what works for me and what doesn’t-
And discard the rest.

I also found myself revitalized when 1 simple fact dawned on me:
I refused to fail.
Without thinking I had picked myself up and looked for a solution without even realizing it.
Now I’m no genius. I’m not a guru or MIT graduate. what am is a regular guy who has spent some time listening. Especially in 2013 and the 1st month of 2014.
I invested in me.
I bought books.
Expanded my strategies and consulted other people.
And in trying to get better, it seems I did- maybe just a wee bit.

So what is the lesson here?
Don’t be afraid to fail.
Just like a baby learning to walk it’s a process.
The Success comes in how you respond to it.
