Don’t Let Your Expectations Slap Your Progress Around | Ep. 02

There is always a strategy. There is always a path. You must not let your expectations interfere with your vision of the road you were on. Even on a desert trail there are cactus flowers and lizards basking in the sun. In the slums were garbage rats, there are birds chirping and rays of sun light reflecting off the puddles in the gutter.

Let not your expectations stunt the possibilities bring the focus not to what you are lacking, but towards the present challenge. It is your mission now to train one thing in the moment.

It is your mission now to organize your surroundings and make clean your available resources. It is your mission in the now to press each of your talents and skills against the ceiling of their current potential until you break through.

It is that mission of yours today and every day to exercise the muscles in your body so that they grow stronger, more accurate, more dependable, more capable, more ferocious. You must end each day knowing you stretched all the fibers of your body to expand.

You then must circle back to your mission of cleanliness. Every day, you must rake the leaves in your physical garden, the surroundings you are in: your room, your kitchen, your desk.

And of course, you must rig clean the leaves of the mind. Making all open loops and unfinished projects have a neat and tidy place. You must also pluck any unsightly thoughts such as fear, doubt, hesitation. And instead plant confidence, courage and thankfulness.

You are on a beautiful path. Do not forget that and don’t let your expectations disturb your journey.
