31	1	2	3 1/3/24: “Between stimulus & response, there is a space. In that space, is our power to choose our response.” -Vicktor Frankl 11:59 PM	4 1/4/24: Awareness is often enough to motivate change. Simply tracking your food intake will motivate you to alter it. Merely writing down your problems may spark ideas for possible solutions. The process starts with seeing reality clearly. 11:59 PM	5 1/5/24: “It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment.” 11:59 PM	6
7	8 1/8/24: “Leadership begins with your behavior. What’s more powerful? A manager or coach or teacher who tells you the right thing to do? Or one who shows you how to live and work by example? People gravitate toward the standard you set, not the standard you request.” 11:59 PM	9 1/9/24: “Deconstruct the cool things you see. If you’d like to become a better musician and you see an amazing performance, start paying attention to how they do it. How did they promote the event? What happens in the first ten seconds of each song? How frequently are they engaging directly with the audience? Is there a progression of energy throughout the show? When something fascinates you, pay attention to the details. The person who thinks, “That was cool” is a consumer. The person who thinks, “How did they make something that cool?” is on the path to being a creator. Don’t just taste the recipe, look for the ingredients.” 11:59 PM	10 1/10/24: If you'd like to do something bold with your life, you will have to choose to do something bold on a specific day. There is no perfect day. There is no right time. For the trajectory to change, there has to be one day when you simply make the choice. 11:59 PM	11 1/11/24: "Where there is love, there is magic." 11:59 PM	12 1/12/24: "Momentum goes both ways. Don’t move, feel sluggish. Start moving, feel like moving a little more. Don't ship, feel stuck. Start creating, ideas begin to flow. Don't talk, feel timid. Start chatting, conversation gets a little easier." 11:59 PM	13

21	22	23 1/23/24: “The world is a very malleable place. If you know what you want, and you go for it with maximum energy and drive and passion, the world will often reconfigure itself around you much more quickly and easily than you would think.” 11:59 PM	24 1/24/24: Optimism isn't soft. in fact, it sits at the center of mental toughness. Have you conditioned your mind for optimism? 11:59 PM	25 1/25/24: “What we water, will grow." "What we attend to in our mind and in our behaviors is like watering a seed. Some of these seeds turn into flowers. Some turn into weeds and they just really start to take over.” 11:59 PM	26 1/26/24: "It isn't about what you want. It's about what you are willing to do to close the gap between who you are and who you want to become." - Jamie Gilbert 11:59 PM	27
28	29 1/29/24: Everyone is gambling, all the time. The "risk takers" have the courage to attempt something and gamble with the possibility of failure. The "risk averse" avoid failure, but gamble with the opportunity cost of what they could have achieved—had they found the courage to try. 11:59 PM	30 1/30/24: Many situations in life are similar to going on a hike: the view changes once you start walking. You don't need all the answers right now. New paths will reveal themselves if you have the courage to get started. 11:59 PM	31 1/31/24: "Your entitled mind is dead weight. Cut it loose. Don't focus on what you think you deserve. Take aim on what you are willing to earn." 11:59 PM	1 2/1/24: Not taking things personally is a superpower. 11:59 PM	2 2/2/24: "You have no responsibility to live up to someone else's expectation of you. Spend as little time as possible chasing other people's preferences instead of your own." 11:59 PM	3
