1 // Writing a List

2 // Saying Thank You

I really recommend reading his books if you haven't yet, I will probably write a post about his novels soon. I really hope you found these inspiring and encouraging, sometimes we just need a little objective perspective to bring us back to reality.

It's easy to get wrapped up in whats going on around you and in turn, we lose sight of our goals.

I've been surely learning that the first key (DJ Khaled's influence right there..) to unlocking your true potential is to re-establish how you view your life. We can't play the victim card at every turn, and nor should you want to. I've taken control of my present as best as I can, and strive to remind myself that I choose how I feel and react to events and people. If I can keep my eye on the prize, I can achieve whatever I set my mind to.
And I say strive because none of us are perfect, but making the effort is always the biggest step.


This plays to the same tune; keep thinking positively about yourself and what is happening in your life. Find silver linings and hope from difficult situations and I promise you, you will feel better.

You can't live a mediocre life if you are in tune with your dreams and goals. Likewise, how can a happy and grateful person lead a miserable life?


To tie in with the previous quote, remember to focus on what you're grateful for. There is always someone with less than you, if you have fresh food and warm shelter you are already very wealthy by the world's standards.

I always get lost in the 'first world problems' (mostly because of memes, but hey...) and have to pull myself back to reality and remind myself that a lot of the problems I have aren't really problems and are something to find gratitude in.


I learnt quite quickly to change my daily habits, once I was getting repetitive and weak results. I was putting in so much effort, so why wasn't I feeling the benefits?

There is a polarisation in terms of what you should do; 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' and 'adapt to the changing environment.' Both are true, but if you're not getting the best possible results, why stay in a stagnant situation? You could be achieving so much more if you work smarter.


This quote doesn't need much of an explanation. Whatever you decide is what will be. Indecision is truly a decision so make quick but calculated moves. What will bring you the best results? What is the quickest but most effective method? As a lazy perfectionist I implement this into any big project I'm working on, and trust me, multi-tasking and prioritising is a lifesaver!
