‘Seeking to spark the most potential within you per word of any online newsletter’
1 thought
When you grow up, you’re probably told some version of this.
And you may end up believing that having fight within you is a bad thing, and unwittingly stamp it out of yourself. Is it any wonder that when we have that fire in our eyes, others are scared? Or why you give up, when things get hard?
Rediscovering the warrior mentality within you is vital if you want to get anything worthwhile done. Because if you do, others will stop you. Humans don’t really like change. Change is scary.
Your loved ones may also feel scared that you’ve finally discovered the fighting spirit within you, and wonder where they lost theirs. And they may stop you.
To find the warrior within you again, it helps to go away for a while, from what the world is telling us matters. Try this. Go on an input fast.
This means that you delete the social media on your phone, stop reading the news, and spend some time asking yourself.
What do I really want to do with my life?
Take some time to go away this weekend and answer that question. No people. No media. No phones.
Just you and a notebook.
And when you tune into what you yearn for deep within you, you may end up discovering that what you want, isn’t what your loved ones want for you.

It's okay to fight for what you want.
1 tip
Often when we think about what we want - setting up your own business, financial freedom, love, we look at the mountain and not the moment. We miss the next small step for the big success. And we talk ourselves out of the success we can have, without thinking about the small steps we can
take.
Today, rather than scaring yourself with what’s ahead, look at the next moment.
Ask yourself,
What’s the smallest step I can take?
It doesn’t have to be a big step. But it needs to be focused on output, and not input. You can always find more information. Read another book. Watch another YouTube video. But you won’t always have the time to find another moment like this, when you’re so galvanised to do
something that matters.
Do something that changes something in the world, however small.
