Everyone wants to live a great life right? Most of us are always asking ourselves, how do we make our lives better and more rewarding. The thing is we know the answers to many of these questions we ask ourselves, whether we want to admit it or not. We block or deny the answers that we already have for many reasons. They make us uncomfortable, they make us afraid, they require action, they eliminate excuses and ultimately they challenge our belief systems and our sense of convenience. People are creatures of habit, and we like staying in our comfort zones and doing the things that come easy even if it hinders our long term happiness. It’s a matter of we want to be happy and create that great life, but just not that much. It’s about leverage people, get leverage on yourself by realizing extraordinary people first need to start doing extraordinary things and flipping off those fears and and moments of procrastination as you see them go off into the distance in your rear view mirror!

Here are some things that most of us know, but do nothing about:

If you want to get more writing done, you should write more.

If you want to know anything, question EVERYTHING.

If you want to feel better, do the things that will make you feel better. Be true to yourself.

If you want to stand out, don’t do what everyone else is doing. Don’t blend, it is way to boring

If you want to be stronger, then do things that will make you strong. Let the superman or woman out from within.

If you want to be patient, practice patience.

If you want people to get to know you better, you need to make sure that you’re worth knowing.

If you want friends, be friendly. It all starts with a smile

If you want to lift heavier weights, put down the light ones.

If you want to watch less TV, turn off the TV. You have a remote, you don’t even have to get up.

If you want to lose weight, it’s best not to live in America, but it’s also possible to eat fewer hamburgers and move more.

If you want to change the world, then start by setting the example and create that ripple and start that change.

Want to take a million mile journey, then take the first step… It all starts with you.

If you feel like people take advantage of you, make sure you know the difference between turning the other cheek and being a doormat.

If you want to be trusted, don’t lie.

If you want to be a good listener, be quiet once in a while. I am still working on this one, but making progresss

If you want a better job, don’t work forever at a crappy one. Always go and get what your worth, settle for nothing less. Have a plan.

If you hate the path that has led you to this moment in your life, walk in a different direction.

If you want more money, save more and find a way to make more. Complaining pays poorly, unless you’re a pundit.

If you want to be humble, don’t spend time practicing arrogance.

If you want to be happy, don’t do things that will make you sad. Check out my post “Do You Love Life? 79 Reasons To Help You Start”

If you want to be smarter, engage your mind and don’t be a mere spectator.

If you want to go somewhere, take the first step.

If you want to be confident, walk like you’re wearing a cape.

If you just want to be like most people, stick with wishful thinking.

It’s easy for most of us to pretend that there are things we can’t figure out.  But when we are truly honest with ourselves, we usually know the answers. We  just don’t always want to admit it.
