You have a purpose
• So you have clarity on WHAT your main goal in life is…
• But are you aware of WHY you want to achieve it?
• A lack of purpose can often be the only thing holding you back from success.
• Because when you’re not invested in the REASON you’re working towards a goal,
there’s little to shield you from inevitable distractions and demotivation.
• So next time you set a goal, either figure out how it aligns with your unique
purpose in life - or decide on a new purpose you can aspire to.

•Conquer you fear, be confident
• When you have a clear vision of what you want, and complete confidence that you can achieve it,
your mental blocks are easier to dissolve.
• If you lack confidence in yourself and if you’re not 100% sure you can achieve your dreams, then
you’ll most likely keep finding excuses and procrastinating out of fear.
• Remember what Napoleon Hill said:
• “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

S eize the moment
• Self-Determination
• Vince Lombardi once said, “The difference between a successful person and others is
not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.”
• When you have self-determination, you are owning your personal power and
freedom of choice.
• Self-determination comes from your inner strength and courage, and it helps you
strengthen your internal beliefs so you can take on challenges and changes in life
with ease
