There are no final destinations, just small successes.
To paraphrase Casey Neistat (slightly) - You are either moving forward, or you are slowly moving backwards into oblivion.

John Wooden - The difference between winning and succeeding
John Wooden - The difference between winning and succeeding
I like these lessons that John brings up:
1. Never try to be better than someone else
2. Always learn from others
3. Never cease trying to be the best you can be - that's under your control - if you get to involved in things that are not under your control it will adversely affect the things over which you have control
It's amazing how we can focus mainly on external factors rather than internal, when it is our core capabilities, our internal drive and our constant focus on improving ourselves which is what moves us forward and eventually improves our lives.
When you try to be better than others, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. There will always be someone better than you at one thing or another. Accept that, embrace that and focus on improving yourself daily.

What would you do if you weren't afraid?
Fear evolved from our ancestors need to escape danger, not from their need to escape rejection. You are not going to be eaten alive. Recognize fear as an almost redundant emotion. Recognize your brain's confusion as being unhelpful. Proceed without fear. Go get what you want.
Go get it!
Go after what you want
Put your eyes on your target and make sure you keep your eyes on it till you get it!

There will be a day when you can no longer do this
If you are healthy today, I want you to...
Imagine. Imagine the day you can no longer run up stairs. Your legs feeble, your body weak.
That day will come, when your body betrays you and you can no longer push it forward.
How will you feel?
Think. Imagine. Picture the future. It will happen one day. You will be WEAK
SO, how about enjoying your body while it still works. Quit taking your health for granted. You can walk, you can run, you can jog up stairs. So do it. Put down your laptop and go for a fucking walk. Jog up some fucking stairs. Let your body BREATHE!
Otherwise, that future weakness you just imagined just might hit you a decade or two sooner than expected...
