Motivational Thoughts

There is an abundance of time, but it should not be squandered. The balance between striving and resting needs to be mastered.

Incremental changes are more sustainable than massive disruptions.

We didn't ask to be given this gift of life. We had it bestowed upon us. Every morning we wake up, we are granted another day to live. We can have these gifts taken away in an instant. We don't know how many more days will be granted. This could a scary thought, but it really is quite a miracle that we are here in the first place. Enjoy the days you get!

We live in an amazing age. Though you might yearn for the good old days, they don't compare to the advances we have made. You can argue we are not better off because of increased anxiety, stress, social pressures. But if you choose to use parts of modern tech to improve your life, it can make things so much easier.

I choose to eat healthy and exercise today so that my older self will thank me.

I am here whether I like it or not. I might as well have fun playing the game.

One of my favorite Marcus Aurelius quotes:

"Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them."

You will not live forever. Live a life of gratitude and appreciation.

I want to show up ready to play my part in this day as best as I can. People rely on me and I rely on people.

You are your own worst enemy. You are also your own best friend. Get the voice in your head to work with you and improvements will come.

Find your "why" and reflect on it daily. Your north star will always be there and point you in the right direction.
