The cute receptionist doesn’t love you, your dream job is years away while you’re toiling away making a few bucks above minimum wage, and your car is 15 years old and failing. If your life isn’t plated in gold in your mid-twenties, welcome to the club called life — this isn’t a crisis, it’s the fun part.
Times get tough and adversity affects everyone, but if you’re looking for someone to swaddle you in cashmere and tell you it’s going to be okay, you’ve come to the wrong place. Things aren’t going to get better unless you get proactive about improving your life. Money woes? Girl problems? Toughen up, doughball, because you’re the first and last line of defense when it comes to getting your life back on track.
Perfection isn’t a singular destination, but rather a series of steps in the right direction. Utilize the mindset of the ever improving and ever learning black belt to establish goals and pursue your best in any arena, from the gym to the boardroom.
