Not that lucky.
Does good fortune occasionally play a part in success? Sometimes, but never as much as you think.
Blood, sweat, tears, failure, rejection, #hustle, #perseverance, #focus, lack of sleep, #ambition, and showing up all make up 95% of #success.
Think about that the next time you tell someone they’re #lucky because they’re doing the things you’re sitting around wishing you could do.
Expressing #Gratitude Often
Thanking the people who make you look good, do the hard work, challenge you, #support you, cheer you on, give you above average #service, or buy from you should be like ending a sentence with a period. It should be a rule.
That being said, thank you for reading my posts.
Hate your old work?
When we’re starting, it’s all an evolution. #Iteration. Trial and error. Sometimes many errors.
Never beat yourself up because your earlier work was, in your eyes, not your best. We all started somewhere. It makes you relatable.
It’s the #progress that counts.

What will you do next?
I came across this @johnniewalker ad back in #2014 in @entrepreneur magazine, the #leadership issue. Definitely resonated with me, because I obsess about my own #legacy . I think if more people did, they’d make a lot of their daily decisions differently. Sometimes the simplest messages, even in #advertising , can leave a lasting impression.

How to conquer.
As I look back over this last year of life and realize how much has changed for the better, with extreme gratitude I look forward to another year of adventure, possibilities, connections, and growth.
Movement is life….
If you enjoyed DJ Kelly Kellam from last week’s Music Mondays post, here’s an extra dose of music goodness from him at Burning Man in 2013.
Enjoy!!!

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.
Music Monday is back and this one is for my Deep House lovers. This week’s featured DJ is Kelly Kellam. I met Kelly in NYC and he’s a very cool, down to earth dude, as well as, an amazing DJ.
Enjoy this set!!
