Side Note: For those of you who don’t know, scarcity mentality is a belief system that enforces the idea that there’s never enough to go around. So if someone else has money or an opportunity, then you won’t be able to have it. In this mindset, it’s challenging to be happy for another person’s success, because you question what it means for you or when or if you’ll ever have another opportunity.

Passion x Self-Care x Motivation = Power

If you’re using words like “not” or “never,” go back and rewrite your description in a positive format.

The energy we create through our thoughts, beliefs, actions, and reactions have a positive or a negative impact on our lives. If you think you can hide from this principle, good luck! Even if you hide under your covers, you’re still making a choice and taking an action. Your energy is directly correlated with your motivation.

If your energy is reactive, it’s fed by external factors. If your energy is proactive and purpose-centered, you are the source.

Can you guess what worry is? It’s an obsession with future outcomes.

Can you guess what you control about your future? Not a damn thing, except your actions in the present.

What’s in your power? You only have control over your mindset, beliefs, thoughts, and actions. You have the power to choose who and how you engage, but you don’t have power over other people and their actions.

If I say yes to you when I want to say no, I’m really saying no to my priorities and happiness.
