“Trade your expectation for appreciation, and the world changes around you” – Tony Robbins

There will be a final cup of morning coffee for us.

There will be the last chance for us to listen to the radio.

And if we are lucky enough to have kids, there will be a last time we get to sit in traffic as we drive them to school.

As Tony Robbins quotes, if we can remove expectations from the norm, and replace them with a sense of gratitude, our entire world changes. We start to see the abundance in life again, versus it being blended into the background.

“Our greatest fear in life should not be failure. Our greatest fear in life should be succeeding in things that don’t matter.” – Francis Chan

One of life’s greatest tragedies: we tend to think that things will be different if we achieve more, win more, or make more money. But if those things have never changed us before, even if we win the world… would it change us today? Like thirsty people guzzling salt water, it’s a never-ending cycle that does not lead to fulfillment.

Yet we can work tirelessly for that next finish line, putting all of eggs in that basket, wishing, hoping, and working tirelessly to get there. One of our greatest fears, as written in the quote above, is to get there, and to realize… we didn’t climb the right ladder. It didn’t bring us to where we wanted to be. How we wanted to feel.

It always boils down to this – the quality of our relationships, the positive influence we impart on others, and who we become in the process. Hustle is crucial, but placing first things first is absolutely vital. Which ladder are we climbing today?

“Hardships often prepare people for an extraordinary destiny.”

Often we look to the past to decide who we are. Or even more damaging, we look to the past to decide who we can become. We grew up here, our parents did this to us, or we never got “that”.

We reflect on the pain, being broken, or being handicapped. And I am who I am because of “that”.

In the words of Tony Robbins, “identity drives behavior”.

The story is not that we’ve had a tough past, so we’re doomed to fail.

The story is that we’ve had a tough past, and I’m better because of it.

“Pressure can bust pipes, but it can also make diamonds.” – Robert Horey

There’s no such thing as bad events.

And there’s no such thing as bad pressure.

Only how we perceive it.

Pressure is nothing but a catalyst. It’s a force that demands our undivided attention – our full focus, as an ever present reminder that our time here is limited. And that we must keep moving forward. Not tomorrow, but today.

We can all relate back to a time where pressure moved us in a major way. Maybe it was at work, burning the candle on both ends to finish a project. Maybe it was back in school, studying for an exam the next day. Maybe it was the sudden turn of a loved one’s health, opening our eyes to how important it is to spend time with them before it’s too late.

Pressure isn’t bad. It’s only a reminder that we won’t be here forever. Something we often forget.

“Life is a wonderful, wonderful opera, except that it hurts.” – Joseph Campbell

Our life is a summation of what we think about.

Where we choose to place our thoughts and attention, we become. It’s what the human brain is programmed to do – to pay attention to what we’re thinking about.

If we are in the market to buy a silver Toyota, all we see are silver Toyotas on the road. It’s as if they suddenly appeared out of the sky, yet, they were there all along. It’s called the “Reticular Activation System”. We get what we focus on. It becomes exaggerated, monopolizing our thoughts. If we look for the negative, it will be there. If we look for the positive, it will be there.

Are we going to see the wonderful opera, or are we going to be distracted by the pain?
