Image result for rashida jones

“I had the full princess fantasy: the white horse, the whole being saved from my life, which is ridiculous. What do I want to be saved from? My life’s great! But it’s just this weird thing that’s been hammered into my head culturally: that’s the only way to succeed, that’s the only thing that counts for a woman. I’m happy, but the fact that I’m not married and don’t have kids – it’s taken me a long time to get to a place where I actually am OK with that, where I actually don’t feel like I’m some sort of loser.”

*If you are happily married with kids – good for you. If not, be OK with that – this doesn’t make you a loser.

BODY

“For conditioning we did a lot of jogging, sprinting, jump roping, and on-court basketball workouts. There are also hill workouts, sprinting with bands, and biking. The results were outstanding. I gained 15 pounds of lean muscle and my strength increased dramatically.”

*Jog, sprint, jump rope, play basketball, sprint up hills, bicycle…that’s a full workout today.

SOUL

Ric Flair Finance, formed in September 2007 as a loan referral service, was not licensed. The company was shut down in North Carolina, and Flair’s partner in the venture ended up suing Flair for not paying back a loan Flair had taken from him.

*Flair not only had no experience in finance, he wasn’t licensed. As you continue to strive for you’re own business, learn from the mistakes of the Nature Boy.

Steve Jobs 1955

Every morning Steve Jobs would ask himself this question:

“If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I’m about to do today?”  – Steve Jobs   

If too many days went by with the answer being “no,” he made changes in his life.

He did this until he hit a consistent yes, which drove him to countless innovations and a company worth $702 billion.

*Ask yourself this same question this morning and answer honestly.
