Here are the 3 Steps to building unshakable 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 are two separate things. Many people are Motivated, very few are Confident. You may be inspired or motivated to do something, but until you take 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, make 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 or actually 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 it you won't be confident. Because true unshakable 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 is only EARNED. Progress and action are the primary way to build 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. A self-confident person is simply someone who keeps promises to themselves. Those promises compound over time.... Good or Bad. 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 precedes 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝟯 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭: Make is as simple as possible -Start small, remove obstacles, execute 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮: Make it measurable -Know when you completed the task 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯: Prioritize - Simplify to 3 -Everything does not matter equally 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀: 𝟯 𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 1. Competency- Develop great competency in your craft. Have a high competency in what you do. 2. Autonomy- YOU are responsible for YOU.

"𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁" is simply being passionate about being great in everything you do. If I choose to do something, I will do it the best that I possibly can. Every day we are training ourselves to be great or to be average. Everything you choose to do on daily basis you can train yourself to be great. Because… there is no such thing as 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, only 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁. Choose to live your daily life as a "𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻"."𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻" your day by choosing to do every task the best that you possibly can. When you do this, you build 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 is easy and most people are confused by it. It is simply someone who keeps promises to themselves. The small internal promises you make to yourself that no one knows about, keep those, and watch your confidence grow. 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 is your reputation with yourself. Build your reputation with yourself. If you can trust you, you are not worried or concerned about others.

Growth Concept Series Part 1 - 100 or Nothing

Studying high achievers in multiple disciplines and industries. I have found that there is ONE KEY thing the best of the best do! What's the key? Well, I was watching an interview with LeBron James and the interviewer asked him " How do you have the confidence when things are coming down to the wire or they get tough". His answer made my hair stand up, He said "𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻!!! I revert to my preparation, and I know nobody has prepared better or more thorough than me" Imagine if we had that kind of dedication to our craft and life. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲. We may not all have the same talent, but we can all 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 at the highest level. All High Achievers take "𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻" seriously!!!

This is driven from a chapter in the late, great Trevor Moawads book, "It takes what takes"Deep down, we all know our choices ultimately determine our behaviors and those behaviors ultimately determine our outcomes. Better said, every choice has a consequence or an outcome.But… If we’re SERIOUS about actualizing our potential, achieving greatness, winning our own version of the World Series then there simply IS NO CHOICE. Moment to moment to moment we need to step in and give our 100, be the best version of ourselves. PERIOD.We want to think choice is awesome. But, ultimately it’s NOT. When we’re all in, there is no choice.When you feel like you have choice or too many options. Its because you haven't actually decided.When you get up? When you go to sleep? How you train? How you show up in your Work and your Love? So, let’s drop the illusion and make the ultimate decision that makes all the little decisions for us. Let’s go for greatness.

Things aren't going your way.Upset, overwhelmed, frustrated? Join Jeremy as he discussed a framework with could change everything for you!It's a new year and the same sh*t is happening. Why are there so many people just soaring and it seems like nothing bothers them, they always have it all figured out. It's very simple. Not easy, but simple.What if I told you it comes down to some simple framework. Building a framework that you can use anytime, any day, any situation.More importantly, a Reflective Framework Having a model or framework encourages a structured process to guide the act of reflection. Leads to positive action. Creates less stress, overwhelm and frustration.Here is one to give a try! What, So What, Now WhatWhat - Reflect and describe the current situation or circumstance? What happened or What is happening? Be as objective as possible. So What - How do I feel about this? Describe feelings, ideas and analysis of the situation, circumstance or experience. What impacts the way you view it(What lens are you viewing from)?Now What - What are you willing to do about it? What did I learn? What can I apply? This is the action step, the let it go or do something about it. "Motion creates emotion" Changing your physiology means changing your mental state and breaking your negative patterns. Great physiology, therefore, leads to great emotions, and that is one of the keys to getting unstuck.

Listen as Jeremy describes ways for you to upgrade your focus!Your Focus determines your reality in any given moment through out the day and your life. So, when we are having those feelings of brain fog, writers block, overwhelm, or just plain lack of ability to get things done.Remember, the fact is, our minds can only focus on ONE thing. So, the key to “blocking out” the external noise isn’t to try to “block out” the external noise. It’s to turn the volume up on your OWN focused thinking such that your mind doesn’t even notice the external distractions.How do we do that? FOCUS. On what? On what's important now, in this moment. Unfortunately, most of us have destroyed our ability to truly, deeply, sustainably Focus by allowing our minds to bounce from input to input to input all day every day.We must train or in most cases re-train ourselves.Focus is a choiceRe-focus is a SKILLFocus isn't something you have, It's something you DO!When you have those feelings that you can't get something done or you are in a wandering mind. Simply ask yourself.What am I focused on right now?That will allow you to Re-focus on what you WANT and now your actions can get back on task and lead you there.Connect with Jeremy and Optimal Self: Links: (We LOVE to be tagged in your posts, please share our content and tag us!)- Main Page: www.OptimalSelf.Today - Links to our Podcast, all social media, PLUS join our Private Facebook Group, Free "Identity Creator" Course, and more!- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkydziqrlYZIFmOgD1kTPA- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimalSelf1- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimal_self/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@optimalself

Let's unpack this...Everything in our lives comes down to choice, specifically choices we have made.Are you choosing greatness in your life?Do you believe you can be great, or have greatness?Every little thing we do , even the most mundane, meaningless tasks, matter.They matter greatly because, when it is multiplied by the number of times we do it, even the smallest habit or choice can change our lives tremendously.Most are so consumes with their everyday life, they never pause to see the big picture. "Habits are like a cable, we weave a strand of it everyday and soon it cannot be broken" -Horace Mann"Chains of Habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken"-Warren BuffettEVERY choice matters, no matter how small. They may look small now, but added up over the right amount of time, they literally change the trajectory of your life.Connect with Jeremy and Optimal Self:Links: (We LOVE to be tagged in your posts, please share our content and tag us!)- Main Page: www.OptimalSelf.Today - Links to our Podcast, all social media, PLUS join our Private Facebook Group, Free "Identity Creator" Course, and more!- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkydziqrlYZIFmOgD1kTPA- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimalSelf1- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimal_self/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@optimalself

* I can change* I can do something different with my life* I can recreate myself* I can learn new things* I can rewire my brainThe brain is incredibly plastic. Age does not matter. You can change careers, body composition at any age, 30,40,50,60 and beyond.Do you believe that?Do you believe that you have the capacity to alter your patterns?Patterns repeat until you change them.Many people want more, want different and say YES to this question. But don't change anything. They fall right back into the same routine, habits and actions.WHY???????Because its comfortableNothing great happens in your comfort zone.You must do something different.Start small.Here are a few things you can do to alter patterns, change perspective, get a little uncomfortable. First write down your new goal, then....1. Take a different route to work2. Put your opposite shoe on first3. Re-arrange furniture at home or office4. Sleep on the opposite side on the bedGive one or more try. Focus on your goal. Apply the new.

I read this quote today and it got me thinking... "The key to success is consistency" Most people don't actually struggle with consistency.The reason why most people are where they are … is because they are consistentConsistently eating processed or fast food that keeps them unhealthy...Consistently watching Netflix instead of reading a book...Consistently complaining instead of finding solutions or learning a new skill.Therefore, Consistency isn't what matters...Consistency to the right actions is what matters."It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, It's what we do consistently' -Tony RobbinsIt's simple, ask yourself...Are the actions you're taking giving you the results you want?Are your current habits leading you to the life you want?You must build your habits and daily actions around the results you want.Once you identify the right habits, then get Consistent!When you're consistent in doing the right things, big results happen.When you get intentional about it.Nothing can stop you.Connect with Jeremy and Optimal Self:Links: (We LOVE to be tagged in your posts, please share our content and tag us!)- Main Page: www.OptimalSelf.Today - Links to our Podcast, all social media, PLUS join our Private Facebook Group, Free "Identity Creator" Course, and more!- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkydziqrlYZIFmOgD1kTPA- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimalSelf1- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimal_self/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@optimalself

I was pondering the question I get often. How to deal with the people around us not believing in us or doubting our goals and dreams?? I had this epiphany, What if it’s not others doubting at all, what if it’s them saying what WE actually think, and it feels like them doubting us, but it’s really US DOUBTING US! I have been reading a ton about confirmation biases and it’s others(family, friends) confirming what we deep down believe about ourselves. Now we blame others for not believing in us, when it’s really us doubting us. So, what we need to do is ask the better question. Reframe it from THEY don’t believe in me and ask….Do I believe in me! I know that when I am convicted to my goal, it doesn’t matter what others think, it has no effect on me, my behavior or my belief! Confidence is ONLY EARNED. You do that by showing up for yourself everyday, proving to yourself you can learn anything, thus you can have anything because the next level of you, you will have to learn something new. If that’s your focus then others words and biases will not have that effect! It will remove the need for others to approve you or your goals because YOU will be proving to yourself, and being the approval you are seeking! Be your own approval! Be responsible for your outcomes!Connect with Jeremy and Optimal Self:Links: (We LOVE to be tagged in your posts, please share our content and tag us!)- Main Page: www.OptimalSelf.Today - Links to our Podcast, all social media, PLUS join our Private Facebook Group, Free "Identity Creator" Course, and more!- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkydziqrlYZIFmOgD1kTPA- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimalSelf1- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimal_self/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@optimalself

Og Mandino's main philosophical message is that every person on earth is a miracle and should choose to direct their life with confidence and congruent to the laws that govern abundance. He claimed that all successful people take on their own lives by "charting" or consciously choosing both the desired destination and the path to reach it.“I will persist until I succeed.I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.I will persist until I succeed.The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner.Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult.I will persist until I succeed.-The Greatest Salesman in the World-Og Mandino”Connect with Jeremy and Optimal Self:Links: (We LOVE to be tagged in your posts, please share our content and tag us!)- Main Page: www.OptimalSelf.Today - Links to our Podcast, all social media, PLUS join our Private Facebook Group, Free "Identity Creator" Course, and more!- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkydziqrlYZIFmOgD1kTPA- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimalSelf1- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimal_self/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@optimalself

Let's try a little game. Look for everything around you that is red, now close your eyes and describe everything that was blue.Most miss what's there because we are so fixated on what we are looking for, we are constantly trying to confirm our biases. We are looking for things to confirm our beliefs. Even the negative about ourselves.Start looking for what's right.Start clapping for yourself when you do the right the thing.Simple things, like wake up on time.Went to the gym when I said .Start showing up for you!

“First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.”- Napoleon Hill"SELF-SYNERGY" is when your thoughts, words and actions are all in alignment just like Napoleon Hill stated, it all starts in your mind with your thoughts. There are a million and one things you could do. Your only limit is your imagination - which is also the seed of all plans. There’s fulfillment itself in the generation of ideas. When creativity flows like water, you feel inspired and energized. But if you want to turn your best ideas into a tangible reality, you can’t afford to leave them to chance. You must build a plan of action around those ideas or goals. All things on your list are not created equal. You must start with your DAILY ONE THING: When the One Thing is in complete alignment with your goals clarity happens.So this week - if you do ONE THING -  Make your daily goals Activity based stay in relationship with your goals daily and live to your OPTIMAL SELF! You’ve got this.Connect with Jeremy and Optimal Self:Links: (We LOVE to be tagged in your posts, please share our content and tag us!)- Main Page: www.OptimalSelf.Today - Links to our Podcast, all social media, PLUS join our Private Facebook Group, Free "Identity Creator" Course, and more!- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkydziqrlYZIFmOgD1kTPA- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimalSelf1- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimal_self/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@optimalself

You will reach the top, and that's that. I am not talented. I am obsessed.” -Conor McGregorAchieving a goal has nothing to do with talent.It's an obsession.Most people aren't obsessed with their goals because they don't believe they are worthy of them.The true purpose behind a goal, is not to achieve the goal.It's to become a person who can achieve goals.Your mind is designed to help you get what you want.

What are the things you measure or track to stay motivated? -Kyle, OhioFor me when hear or see the word motivation. I have conditioned myself to think ACTION!!!It's about effort! I track or look at my effort.I definitely set goals, but its not about obtaining the goal its about who I become in the process. It's about becoming the person that can obtain that goal. Putting in the effort it takes to get there.A win without the effort creates more pain.Lottery winner effect. Most go broke. Even commit suicide.Because they didn't earn it. It goes back to effort.When you bring that effort every single day, that's where motivation happens, that's where transformation happens.Connect with Jeremy and Optimal Self:Links: (We LOVE to be tagged in your posts, please share our content and tag us!)- Main Page: www.OptimalSelf.Today - Links to our Podcast, all social media, PLUS join our Private Facebook Group, Free "Identity Creator" Course, and more!- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkydziqrlYZIFmOgD1kTPA- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimalSelf1- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimal_self/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@optimalself

But, There is a MASSIVE DIFFERENCEConvicted - the state of mind of a person who is sure that what he or she believes.Interested - having the attention or curiosityIf you are convicted you will find a way.If you are interested you will find an excuse.If you simply have interest in something you will find reasons it won't work, reasons to not take action.When you are convicted to something...NOTHING CAN STOP YOU!!!You can't be stopped, you don't have limits.

The 80/20 Principle or Pareto Principle says 80% of your results come from 20% of your activities.I believe its even more skewed than that. That most are doing very few things that are leading to the actual life they want. Leading them to "the best version of themselves"Meaning most of what you do throughout the day is actually a distraction.Most of what you are doing is taking you farther from your goals or the life you want.Dr. Marshall Goldsmith says, "If we do not create and control our environment, our environment creates and controls us.”We live in a world of constant distraction, constant infiltration on your time, your attention, constantly pulling you away from what you want. This is the airplane concept, which says that an airplane spends 90% of the time course-correcting, for head winds, tail winds, turbulence pulling it off course.It's a very simple 2 step process:1. Tell me your goal.2. Show me your calendar. Are the tasks/ activities on your calendar in alignment with the goal? If not fix it immediately. Create Values around your goal, why it's important to you. So you can choose tasks and activities that are in alignment with your goal.Connect with Jeremy and Optimal Self:Links: (We LOVE to be tagged in your posts, please share our content and tag us!)- Main Page: www.OptimalSelf.Today - Links to our Podcast, all social media, PLUS join our Private Facebook Group, Free "Identity Creator" Course, and more!- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkydziqrlYZIFmOgD1kTPA- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimalSelf1- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimal_self/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@optimalself

In the critically acclaimed book 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳, psychologist Ethan Kross explores the silent conversations we have with ourselves. He warns that giving in to negative and disorienting self-talk—what he calls “chatter”—can tank our health, sink our moods, strain our social connections, and cause us to fold under pressure.Engaged Chatter- is getting stuck in the cycle of negative thinking and feeling.But the good news is that we can make our inner voice also work in our favor. By being aware, taking note of, and leading the most important conversations we have everyday...The one's with ourselves.Most of us would never to talk to other's they way we talk to ourselves. So why is it ok? Because most the time it goes undetected. We don't even realize we are doing it. Let's change it!We must get our Thoughts, Words and Actions in Alignment. We must create "Self-Synergy".When those thoughts are coming, when you are stuck in the Chatter....Ask yourself: Is this thought serving me?

Exactly one year ago today, I tried something new.I was looking for a challenge something to push me mentally.That morning I was listening to a podcast and the guest was talking about how truly powerful our minds are, that we only tap into a minuscule amount of the true power.He gave a challenge.To program your mind, Through intention and commitment.He said he hasn't used an alarm clock in over a decade, that he programs his mind and body to wake up at a certain time everyday.That the ultimate control of the mind is when you program it, start with a wake up time.This was exactly what I was looking for, a way to challenge myself to take full control of my mind. So I took the challenge. Why?To prove I had the discipline and the mental capacity to pull it off!!Give it a try!!!

What's the difference between "Inaction and In Action""Impossible and I'm Possible"Its the space in between. We must create that space so we can move from inaction (fear, doubt, anxious, stress) to In Action (creative, confidence, belief, faith). Move from Impossible (can't do it, not good enough) to I'm Possible (I am enough, I can learn, therefore I can achieve)“You're more likely to act yourself into feeling than feel yourself into action.” -Dr. Jerome Bruner Harvard PsychologistLinks: (We LOVE to be tagged in your posts, please share our content and tag us!)- Main Page: www.OptimalSelf.Today - Links to our Podcast, all social media, PLUS join our Private Facebook Group, Free "Identity Creator" Course, and more!- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkydziqrlYZIFmOgD1kTPA- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimalSelf1- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimal_self/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@optimalself

The framework to take you from fear and procrastination to courage and movement. State, Story, StrategyState - Know your current state, define it we see words like Frustration, Overwhelm, Anger, Anxious. We first need to identify and then get to a quality sate. The story we tell ourselves when we are in any of those above states is very different than if we are in a state of calm, compassionate, hope. Break the pattern, we need a pattern interrupt to get to a positive state.Story - the conscious mind thinks in pictures. We must CREATE those pictures, words matter, tell a better story. Why you CAN do it.Strategy - Craft the next move. Its rarely the complex strategy that wins. It's the simple move, the next small step, the strategy executed over and over again with consistency.Change your state, Create an empowering story, Craft a simple strategy.MAKE YOUR MOVE!!!!Links: (We LOVE to be tagged in your posts, please share our content and tag us!)- Main Page: www.OptimalSelf.Today - Links to our Podcast, all social media, PLUS join our Private Facebook Group, Free "Identity Creator" Course, and more!- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkydziqrlYZIFmOgD1kTPA- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimalSelf1- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimal_self/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@optimalself

Are you the type of person that gives so much love, compassion, and encouragement to others, but forget to give to yourself?Do you find it easy to give advise or help someone you love solve a problem, but don't take the same advise?This is all part of the human experience. Next time you are in turmoil and alone with your own thoughts remove yourself from yourself, or pretend to be a fly-on-the-wall watching yourself behave in the moment, then you can create distance from the situation. Let the self-talk be as if you were talking to another person.Psychologists call this Distance Self-Talk, athletes use alter egos, high performers use call themselves by their name. It allows for space and you can coach yourself through the problem. It's a psychological jiu-jitsu move.Links: (We LOVE to be tagged in your posts, please share our content and tag us!)- Main Page: www.OptimalSelf.Today - Links to our Podcast, all social media, PLUS join our Private Facebook Group, Free "Identity Creator" Course, and more!- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkydziqrlYZIFmOgD1kTPA- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimalSelf1- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimal_self/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@optimalself

Practice a self-affirming exercise. At the end of each day, ask yourself if you think you gave that day your best effort(not got the most done or some result), did the day get your best effort. If you did, then this is a great way to motivate yourself to be even more productive tomorrow. If you didn't, then you can pinpoint places where you had trouble during the day and focus on overcoming those obstacles tomorrow. When you constantly strive to do your best, it shows. Strive to have more days where you are activity based, not result based.. Results are sometimes out of your control, effort and activity are always in your control!

Obesity is hard. Being fit is hard. Pick your hard.Being in debt is hard. Being financially disciplined is hard. Pick your hard.Life will never be easy. It will always be hard. But we can Pick your hard.Here’s the thing: life can be easy. People choose and pick to do what’s “easy” every single day(Immediate gratification). After all, it’s in our nature. We’re wired to follow the path of least resistance. But, here’s what’s more—choosing to do what’s easy now, only makes the hard, that much harder later.We need to learn to prepare for the hard, stop expecting the easy, and CHOOSE to confront the hard, today, for an exponentially easier tomorrow. If there is anything we know about the future, it’s that tomorrow is already going to be hard enough. No need to compound any extra hard on top of it.

The Pygmalion Effect is where an individual’s performance is influenced by others’ expectations. In other words, higher expectations lead to higher performance. However, the Pygmalion effect specifically refers to how our expectations of others affect our behavior towards them. In turn, this can contribute to higher performance.Our expectations can influence how we treat people, which can influence their own expectations of themselves.Low expectations can mean we treat people differently to those with high expectations.A self-fulfilling prophecy is created. Low expectations create a negative environment that creates low performance. Whilst high expectations create a positive and encouraging environment that creates high performance.Could this mean that our expectations of ourselves or low expectations of ourselves is why we limit our effort.

Investor Graham Duncan on how to excel: "[Tennis champion] Novak Djokovic said in an interview with the Financial Times that "I can carry on playing at this level because I like hitting the tennis ball." The interviewer replied in surprise: "Are there really players who don't like hitting the ball?" Djokovic answered, "Oh yes. There are people out there who don't have the right motivation. You don't need to talk to them. I can see it."​If you can find the thing you do for its own sake, the compulsive piece of your process, and dial that up and up, beyond the imaginary ceiling for that activity you may be creating, my experience is the world comes to you for that thing and you massively outperform the others who don't actually like hitting that particular ball. I think the rest of career advice is commentary on this essential truth."This is the ticket out of your current state. Most sit and complain about their circumstance, job, life. Instead take pride in everything you do, from how your make your bed, to how you do the mundane tasks at work.Author James Clear "Atomic Habits" "You can usually accomplish more by giving something your full effort for a few years rather than giving it a lukewarm effort for fifty years.Pick a priority for this season of your life and do it to the best of your ability.Links: (We LOVE to be tagged in your posts, please share our content and tag us!)- Main Page: www.OptimalSelf.Today - Links to our Podcast, all social media, PLUS join our Private Facebook Group, Free "Identity Creator" Course, and more!- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkydziqrlYZIFmOgD1kTPA- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimalSelf1- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimal_self/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@optimalself

Having success is not about your education, your sophistication, what your know or your understanding. You can master all the technical sides.Success is about how you behave.Behavior has nothing to do with intelligence as your typically taught!You know right from wrong. It's influenced by what you consume, who you're around, your environment.Poor decisions are reflection of Lack of Clarity.When you get clear on who you are, DECISIONS become EASY!Train Clarity like a muscle.

All success is built off of one factor: The Ability and Willingness to LEARN.The importance of learning is that it helps the individual to acquire the necessary skills through learning and knowledge so that he can achieve his set goals.Learning is an indispensable tool that nourishes our minds and soothes our soul. It is a necessity for both personal and professional career as it makes us capable of understanding and handling things in a better way in life.Here are Five Steps to Accelerate your SuccessP.O.W.E.R:P - Prepare. The first step to 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 is preparation. Before getting started on any task, preparation is necessary. The most critical facet of preparation is setting goals.O - Organize. The goals set during the preparation step cannot be accomplished without organization and prioritization.W - Work. Once you prepare and set the goal you must take action, you must work the plan.E - Evaluate. Evaluate leads you to compare your work with the goals you originally set. You need to understand that completed work is not finished until you have evaluated it. All too often people do not recognize the importance of evaluating their work and often fail to revise their work, which can lead to lower performance. R - Rethink. Rethink consists of bringing a new perspective to what has already been accomplished. In contrast to evaluate, which involves considering whether the initial goals have been achieved, rethinking consists of a reconsideration of the process that has been used to achieve the goals.www.OptimalSelf.Today - The Main Page w/ access to Jeremy's "Identity Creator" Course, 2 Bonus Downloads, PLUS join our Private Facebook Group, and more for FREE!- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkydziqrlYZIFmOgD1kTPA- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimalSelf1- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimal_self/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@optimalself

On April 23, 1910, Theodore Roosevelt gave what would become one of the most widely quoted speeches of his career."The Man in the Arena.""It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Belief drives your behavior, behavior drives your results.So look at your current results and you can trace them all back to your beliefs.Here's what I want you to understand...Belief is not singular, it's Binary.Its a two-sided coin.Side One: Do you believe in the plan or way to get the result.Side Two: Do you believe you are worthy, capable and deserving of that result.Lack of belief kills more dreams than lack of ability.How to connect with Jeremy:www.OptimalSelf.Today - The Main Page w/ access to Jeremy's "Identity Creator" Course, 2 Bonus Downloads, PLUS join our Private Facebook Group, and more for FREE!- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkydziqrlYZIFmOgD1kTPA- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimalSelf1- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimal_self/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@optimalself

One of the greatest commandments that is often misquoted as a simple "Love thy Neighbor" is actually ”Love your neighbor as yourself”. But the most important element of that command is, ”as yourself”. If you aren’t good at loving yourself, you won’t be very good at loving anyone else. After all, you cannot give what you do not have.You must make deposits into your personal care bank. Those deposits can be...1. Wake up on time and make your bed2. Drink your ”hydration cocktail” before anything else goes in your body.3.

Taylor Morgan and the Captain’s Lifestyle: Living the Captain's Lifestyle means that you are in control of every aspect of your life and are constantly striving to improve yourself.You accept nothing shy of excellence.You control what you put into your body. You control the amount of time you spend working towards your goals. You realize success doesn't happen overnight. You stick to the process day in and day out no matter how hard it gets. No matter how much you don't want to get up out of bed, you do, and you put in the work.You live for the challenge.You realize what you have control over and don't stress about the things you do not. You take control of your own mind and don't let it control you. You don't react to a situation, you respond.

Let me start by asking you this: How many minutes of undisturbed work do you get done on an average day? 10, 20, maybe 50 minutes? If you think that sounds low, just examine your life. Most of us can’t go undisturbed for more than 10 minutes. We run out of "work" time before we are actually done.We are consumed by messages here, email there, apps like Slack, What's app, etc. The average attention span of a Millennial is a short 12 seconds, and the average attention span for Gen Z at a mere eight seconds.How to connect with Jeremy:www.OptimalSelf.Today - The Main Page w/ access to Jeremy's "Identity Creator" Course, 2 Bonus Downloads, PLUS join our Private Facebook Group, and more for FREE! - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkydziqrlYZIFmOgD1kTPA- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimalSelf1- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimal_self/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@optimalself

Do you feel lifeless, or maybe bored? Kind of like you’re merely existing instead of really living? This lack of lust for life may stem from living on autopilot—making unconscious, automatic decisions that don’t align with how you want to work and live.   We are creatures of habit and routine, which isn’t always a bad thing. It actually serves us well at times. Our brain can’t possibly take the time to consider every single thing we do. Imagine if you had to remember to get dressed every day.   The problem with living on autopilot is that it can leave you sleepwalking through life’s pivotal moments, making it difficult to make intentional decisions about how you want to work and live your life.   The Answer is 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡!!!

Selective attention is the process of directing our awareness to relevant stimuli while ignoring irrelevant stimuli in the environment. What it's saying is our attention goes to the relevant stimuli in our lives at all times.   What you focus on expands. The moment you understand that what you focus on, expands, everything can change. Why? Because then you’ll understand, you just have to shift your focus.

Where in your life are you holding back? Are you limiting yourself because you're afraid to go first? you're afraid to be the best version of you because nobody around you is doing it.

You're either a hundred percent in, or you're nothing. It doesn't even matter if you're 99%. And here's why. A hundred percent commitment is actually easier than even 98% or 99%. If you're only 98% or 99% committed, then you truly aren't committed at all.   Each and every time a circumstance or an environment comes up, you have to now go through the process of, “what should I do?” What that causes is decision fatigue, because the truth is you haven't made a decision at all.

Discipline through subtraction means to eliminate distractions and temptations, it is literally the fastest way to create a disciplined life.   Try to avoid simply delaying gratification. Don’t bring temptations into your life thinking that you're going to be motivated to regulate how much you indulge in them because you’ll only end up failing in the end. You’ll find that when you decide to indulge “just a little”, you’ll end up indulging a lot and throw off your goals.

Every single area of your life gets upgraded, downgraded or stays the same. Think about you as a child. You started in diapers and had to learn how to not be in diapers anymore. You had to learn how to crawl before you could walk. You had to learn to walk before you could run.   Think about yourself as a 3rd grader to what you look like as a 10th grader. Think about your experiences from a tenth grader to how you were as a 25 year old. From 25 to 35 to 45. Every next level is a new you.

Motivation is bull****. How do you keep your energy up? How do you keep this thing going every single day? Integrity. Be who you say you're going to be. Show up how you say you're going to show up, be the same person all the time. That way you don't have to play games.   The only way that can happen is if you have values and standards. Have true core values of yourself and live to them. That's it. It's about helping people.

Understand how powerful the context of a situation is. We take it for granted. We don't pay attention to it enough. Context is simply the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement or an idea.   Understand that context is more important than content.

What a hundred or nothing is, is really understanding the concept that if you are not a hundred percent committed, then you're giving yourself an out, you're giving yourself a crack so that you can actually not do what you said you were going to do.

What if, when we pass on, we left our kids with amazing habits along with everything else we’re going to leave them? Because if they're watching you, they are learning your thought process, how you front load your day, if you’re hydrating, etc. Because as you create those habits, those are what you're passing down.   We should focus on truly being the best version of ourselves.

Failure is non-performance of something you required or expected. Failure typically happens when you don't show up. When you don't do the preparation. There really is no true failure. What you failed at was your ability to prepare.   You should realize that everyone fails. There's nobody around you that hasn't failed at something. But guess what? The truth is, failure is not the end of your dreams or goals. It means you have the opportunity to acquire the skills, study more and do the things necessary to reduce the likelihood of failure and increase your chances of success.   How to connect with Jeremy:   Website: https://www.optimalself.today  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimalSelf1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimal_self/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkydziqrlYZIFmOgD1kTPA

Do more with what you already have, because you, right now, are enough just the way you are. You have gotten through things that you probably didn't think you could.   Think of a time in your life where you struggled and didn't think it was going to be possible. Yet here you are. Don't let the outside influence you into being what you are. Do the inner work yourself. It's time to realize that you deserve it. So prove it by your actions.   How to connect with Jeremy:   Website: https://www.optimalself.today  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimalSelf1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimal_self/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkydziqrlYZIFmOgD1kTPA

A label is a classifying phrase or name applied to a person or thing. Most labels that are put on us as humans are very restrictive. They keep us away from our full potential and from being the best version of ourselves.   Achieving goals and changing our behavior starts with the label you have on yourself. If you believe you’re the dumb brother or another negative label someone put on you, you might be stuck right now in your current position because of it and it could be limiting your potential.   How to connect with Jeremy:   Website: https://www.optimalself.today  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimalSelf1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/optimal_self/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkydziqrlYZIFmOgD1kTPA
