To live in excellence, stay grounded in reality.

1. If you want positive results, then build everything on cause & effect. “This mindset leads to that behavior. That behavior leads to these outcomes.”
2. If you want to go somewhere new, then start with self-awareness of how you got where you are. “I got here because I did too much of this and not enough of that. Those are choices in my control to change.”
3. If you want to become something great, then surround yourself with influences that push you to a higher standard. “What I surround myself with subtly, but seriously, shapes the standards I hold, how I act, and who I become.”

Discipline is the shortcut. Do the work.
