I wonder, out of the amount of people who read this post, are going to be in the category that I'll be speaking about. And I really want each and everyone one of you, to ponder this. Seriously, think about what I'm about to tell you. I'm not asking you to, I'm TELLING you to take it to heart.

So, the category I'm talking about is the average person. Average person? Now what could I mean by that? Cause, that could mean anything. Here's my definition of the average person. Eat, drink, sleep, go to school, graduate, college-graduate, get a job, have a family, have kids, die. This is the average person's mentality. If I can AT LEAST do these things, I'll be fine. Interesting thing is, if you talk to anyone who has had some life experience, the life they envisioned never turned out the way they had imagined. Why is that? People tell me, it's because life is unpredictable. Want to know my response? The best way to predict the future, is to invent it. That right there is the difference between the average person and the champion. Because your belief level will determine your outcome, and if you're sitting back in your chair believing that the average person's life that I just described is for you, then that's where you'll be.

Or, maybe you're the kind of person that envisions a better future for himself, but never acts on it. Something seems to be holding you back from dreaming to doing. I'm going to tell you, the only thing that's holding you back, is you. Bottom line, it's you. And something else you need to consider because if you're waiting for "the right moment," it'll never come. Because honestly, do you think if life is rough now, is it going to be easier or more difficult in the future? Do you think that time is endless? The intelligent person would tell me, no, I can't say that I'd believe those things to be true. And if that's the case, how come you aren't doing anything about it?

Another thing that you need to think about. What are you putting in your mind? Because the things you read, watch on tv, or hear from your associations is going to affect your outcome. Look at your current situation right now, and I gaurantee you, unless you do something about it, your life won't be much different in the future. The way you speak, the way you think, and the types of associations you have probably won't change. And I always emphasize associations because they're your primary influence, and what more people need to be thinking about is this. Are their influences serving me. Is what I'm listening to, serving me. Is what I'm watching, serving me. And I want you to really think about these things because every single decision you make in this life is an investment in your future outcome. Think about that. Everything you choose to let influence you, determines the kind of person you'll be 5, 10, 20, 30 years from now. Is that the kind of person you envisioned?

So, if you're the kind of person that doesn't want to settle for the minimum in life. If you're the kind of person that is living and not dying, what are you going to do about it?
