Don’t Do Anything Unless You Want to be Great  We live in a world that is filled with mediocrity. People are willing to simply show up, do the bare minimum, and then head off. This cannot be you. If you want to succeed at life and live with passion, fulfillment, and joy, then you need to only do things if you want to be great. Don’t compete to be good, compete to be the best. 2. There is Always Light at the End of the Tunnel  No matter how difficult your life is right now, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We all struggle through hard times, some of us more so than others. Just remember that this too will end and when you push through it, it will be better on the other side. 3. Get Out of Your Own Way If you want to succeed, then you need to drop your ego and get out of your own way. Be willing to take advice, listen to mentors who are wiser than you, get out of your comfort zone and be willing to take the action necessary to succeed. 4. Hustle Like You’ve Never Achieved Success No matter how successful you are, you need to keep hustling like you have never even tasted success. It doesn’t matter whether you are a multi-millionaire, a titan of your industry, or the leader in your field, the day you stop hustling is the day that you die. 5. Remember the Babysteps Whenever you are stuck in life and feel like you cannot move forward, you need to remember to focus on the babysteps. If you are struggling to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be, then take a step back and focus on the small things. Just lay 4-5 bricks a day in your business, health, wealth, and relationships and one year from now, you will have built yourself an incredible home.
