Each day I see there are still paths of growth and discovery that I have to cross. We must treat each day as learning opportunities to get better, as unlearning is the new learning. Doing the little things does not mean a lot—it means everything. Who we become tomorrow always depends on what we do today. Nobody ever thinks they are the problem, and that is the problem. The problem is never merely a problem. The problem is our attitudes about the problem. We tend to act first on emotions, then justify those actions with logic. The principal and most complex obstacle we will ever have to overcome is our mind.

Each of us, including myself, wishes to be acknowledged and appreciated for who we are as individuals. Surround yourself with others who will challenge your way of thinking. Change involves new ways of thinking, doing, and learning. Do not allow your possessions to define you or your self-worth. What you do matters more than what you say or believe. Our daily actions and mindsets are the purest definition of our values and character.

Guide yourself to realize life’s ultimate contest is You versus You. The reality of You versus You is the toughest fight of your life. We must prioritize our mental and physical fitness. Understanding good health is a blessing that should be cherished. All positive change starts with self-awareness. Being alive means, we are participating in something truly sacred. What happens between birth and death is what truly counts. You can foster a brand new ending if you are willing to change—cultivate loss and defeat as a fresh start.

Let what you do be an expression of who you are. If it is to be, it is up to the decisions you make today! How we act today makes us all future superheroes.

You are never alone, breathe, meditate, reflect, and be unique.
