3 Big Ideas

1) True confidence is built by keeping the promises you make to yourself.

"Self‐confident people share one habit in common, and that is the ability to keep the promises they make to themselves. When you're in the habit of keeping promises you make with yourself, you're on the pathway to self‐confidence. Self‐confidence is also a form of self‐trust, and if you can't trust yourself, you need to do some hard thinking about your life.”

2) If you just focus on making TODAY great, the rest of your life will take care of itself.

"If you're reading this and you're thinking about quitting on your dream, a business you've started, or anything important to you, don't put the pressure on yourself to meet that goal for five or ten years, or the rest of your life. Instead, think about not quitting for One More day."

3) Whenever you feel overwhelmed or stressed, ask yourself this ONE question...

"The Navy Seals are taught to ask the question, “What in this situation can I control immediately?” By contrast, most people ask themselves, “What could go wrong? What can't I control in this situation? What should I fear and worry about?” because most of us are hard‐wired to think that way."
