I turned 40 a few days ago and I decided to record an episode of the Good Wolf Project about the top 10 lessons I've learned...

While it's not an extensive list, I believe it covers a number of important lessons, most of which go against the grain of society.

For most of my life, I was known as a person that did just that...went against the grain...

During that period, I felt like me...I knew I could do whatever I set my mind to...

Then, in my early 30s, I slowly started letting myself be influenced by outside forces...

I felt myself conforming to what society expected of me instead of giving them who I was...

It felt wrong...I felt off...And I rarely performed at my best...

Luckily I've made adjustments since then. But that leads to me to #1 thing I've learned over the last 40 years...

You're the #1 PERSON TO IMPRESS!

Sounds pretty "selfish", right?

But, here's the thing...

If you don't believe in who you are...

If you don't believe you're bringing your best to the world...

If you don't believe that you're building something meaningful and purposeful...

Then there is ZERO chance you can effectively believe or help anybody else.

ACTION:

Ingrain this saying...

You can't be SELFLESS until you've been SELFISH.

You can't care for others, extend your love, create a massive movement until you've built an unstoppable level of belief in YOU.

Until next time, here's to your 1% growth everyday...
