"Getting what you want out of life largely boils down to (1) the story you tell yourself and (2) where you direct your attention.
What story do you tell yourself about what has happened to you, what you're capable of, and what you hope to achieve? Is the conversation in your head each day empowering and encouraging you, or holding you back?
And are you taking control and directing your attention toward what matters or merely letting inertia pull you along? Most things don't matter and most actions won't deliver a result. Focus.
Master your internal monologue and master your daily attention. Most tips, tricks, and tactics ultimately come back to these two things."
