Today's quote from the book: “When it comes to overcoming fear and self-sabotage, mentorship isn’t optional; it’s essential.” Doing What You Know, Chapter 6, p. 103 You can grind hard. Read everything. Make solid plans. And still repeat the same cycle. Blind spots don’t disappear just because you’re sincere. Left to your own patterns, you’ll often justify the very thing holding you back. That’s why perspective changes everything. Someone outside your head can see what you can’t. They can spot fear disguised as logic. They can interrupt a loop before it steals another month. Growth accelerates when truth comes from outside the echo chamber. Not control. Not pressure. Clarity. That’s leverage. Reach out to someone who has walked further than you in one area of your life. Ask one direct question about where you might be sabotaging yourself.

Decide what you want, believe you can have it, believe you deserve it & believe it’s possible for you!

Learn from your past through reflection & explode your future growth!

DWYK Ch.11 - “The dip is not your enemy. It’s your invitation to deepen your trust, sharpen your focus, and solidify your commitment. The people who build extraordinary lives aren’t the ones who never hit a low; they’re the ones who don’t let the low stop them. So, if you’re in the dip, take heart. Keep showing up. Keep sowing the right seeds. Your breakthrough isn’t lost, it’s just on the other side of your consistency.” Monty Williams, former head coach of the Phoenix Suns said, “Everything you want is on the other side of hard.” So breakthrough being on the other side of consistency really hits for me!

Today's quote from the book: “Self-sabotage thrives in silence and secrecy. But when you bring it into the light, examine it, and create simple yet powerful responses, you take back control.” Doing What You Know, Chapter 6, p. 103 What stays hidden keeps winning. Not because it’s strong. Because it’s unchallenged. Silence protects the pattern. Secrecy feeds it. The shift begins the moment you name it. Out loud. On paper. In conversation. You don’t need dramatic change. You need exposure. Light reduces exaggeration. Clarity restores leverage. Simple responses rebuild control. That’s how momentum returns. Write down one pattern you usually keep to yourself. Create one simple response you’ll use the next time it shows up.
