Subscribe: Spotify | Email | TuneIn | RSS

Thank you so much for listening to this podcast and reading my blog. You make all of this possible and I appreciate you so much. I can’t believe this is episode 100. Here’s to a few hundred more! Today, I want to share some of my own stories with you to give you a quick snapshot of my journey. From this, you will quickly see that when you expect easy, you’ll only get difficult. This is because success was never meant to be easy. Success takes hard work, which is the only way to produce results. There are no shortcuts here.

I can remember sitting on my roof many humid nights as a teenager in Alabama, looking up at the stars, dreaming of all the possibilities to come. You’re probably wondering how I got on my roof, so I’ll let you in. I did this by climbing a wobbly antenna, then leaping over onto the slanted roof shingles, and finally scrambling my way up to the spot between the chimney and the downward sloping section of the roof. I would use the brick chimney as a backrest, creating the most comfortable position I could find to view the sky above. Now that we have that out of the way, on with the important stuff.

My Habits, My Wants, My Likes

This post will probably make me seem really OCD, but I like things a certain way.

I want my side of the closet to be color-coded and no empty hangers.
I want my shoes left on the bottom corner, right side of the bed.
I want to drink coffee out of my Colorado Starbucks mug.

These things probably seem unimportant to you, but I’ve always done crazy little things like this. These habits of mine actually make my day better. I’m sure you have habits, too. They are ones that you’ve always done and there are the ones that you have picked up along the way. Some are weird habits, some are bad habits, and some are good ones. If you feel the need to wear a tuxedo to bed, that’s a weird habit. If you need to throw tomatoes at your kids when they mess up, that’s a bad habit. If you feel compelled to write a love note to your spouse each morning, that’s a good habit. Whatever your wants/likes/habits are, they are what make you unique.
