30-Day Motivation Challenge - Day 23 Embrace Life

Watch the video first then check out the commentary below.


Making incentives for your goals is not only a good idea but possibly a requirement. The results of your daily routine may not be fully appreciated for months or years so making rewards for your efforts will help you develop daily routines. I've used incentives such as vacations, concerts, festivals, and even special foods as rewards for my efforts. 

Embracing life is also about having the courage to act. If you think too much about it then you may end up talking yourself out of taking action. Like in the movie The Last Samurai, don't have "too many mind," practice the "no mind" strategy that was advised to Tom Cruise's character Nathan Algren. Stop thinking and just start doing. Once doing becomes automatic it becomes a habit is no longer a drain on your willpower - no longer requiring thought at all in some cases.

Thinking about the future should be like swimming. Swimmers keep their heads down for the majority of their laps only bringing their heads up for air when they need to. In the same way, keep your head down on the present and only think about the future when you need to figure out your next steps. The truth is there are plenty of things that you already know that you need to do or check off on that to do list.

Lastly, focus on being you - being the best version of yourself. Think of life as a wild ride, something to be embraced.
