Good morning. I hope you're enjoying your cup of coffee or whatever gets you going on a Monday morning.

I'd like to ask you to do one thing this week, and it's pretty simple: celebrate a win.

Any win. Even if it's so small no one noticed it.

Maybe you finally slept seven hours.
Maybe you skipped the elevator and took the stairs.
Maybe you told yourself you're going to workout — and you actually did.

It may seem tiny to you. But I want you to celebrate it.

When you notice your wins, something amazing happens. It's addicting. You realize you can actually keep a promise to yourself. You realize progress is possible, and that’s the spark that keeps the fire burning.

The challenge is, most people think that if they don't see results in a few weeks, it’s not working.

But change isn’t fast. It’s steady. Many times, so slow you don’t even notice it. Whether wanting to lose, weight, get stronger, finish writing that book, etc.

Example; Statistics show that up to 90 percent of people who lose weight quickly gain it all back. Why? Because they were chasing a finish line instead of building a lifestyle.

A pound lost in a week might feel small. But a pound a week for a year is 52 pounds. For two years, that’s more than 100 pounds.

You don’t rush your way to strength. You build it slowly.

A page a week accomplishes the same result!

That’s a success that starts with one tiny win.

It’s about consistency.

You build your discipline one promise kept at a time. You build your confidence one small victory at a time.

Every single success story is really just a long string of small wins.

So my challenge to you: every week, look for one win.

Write it down. Tell someone about it. Celebrate it.

It’s easy to miss those wins when you're grinding through each day and you're tired. But that’s when this mindset matters most.

If you made one better choice this week than last week, that’s a win.
If you’ve kept going when you wanted to quit, that’s a win.
If you’ve failed and decided to try again, that’s a huge win.

Keep stacking them. Week after week. Month after month. Year after year.

All of a sudden you realize, you built something huge. You built momentum. You built a version of yourself that no one can take away.

That’s the secret.

Not motivation. Not talent. Not luck. Consistency.

The only guaranteed way to succeed is simple: don’t quit.

So don’t rush it. Just keep showing up.

Focus on this week’s small win. Then next week’s. Then the one after that.

I'd love to know your win each week. Have a great on!!

Happiness. (Thanks Arnold)

Most people treat happiness like a finish line: something you can sprint toward if you pick the right goals or practices.

Unfortunately, chasing happiness often creates pressure, unrealistic expectations, and disappointment. The more you force it, the more it slips away.

You need stop treating happiness as the goal—and start treating it as the side effect of growth, connection, and meaning.

If you want to feel happier, it might be more effective to stop asking, “Will this make me happy?” and start asking, “Will this make me grow or help me develop something that matters to me?”

Whether it’s learning a new skill, spending quality time with a friend, or contributing to a cause you care about, shift your focus to meaning-making. Happiness will show up—not as a target, but as your traveling companion.

You must be willing to BELIEVE even while others are doubting.
You must be willing to PLAN even while others are playing.
You must be willing to STUDY even while others are sleeping.
You must be willing to DECIDE even while others are procrastinating.
You must be willing to SMILE even while others are frowning.
You must be willing to MOVE FORWARD even while others are waiting.
You must be willing to PERSEVERE even while others are quitting!
And, have fun doing it!!

When anxiety hits, the first thing you and most people do is fight with those racing thoughts. A more effective approach may start with your body instead.

Research tells us your nervous system responds to physical changes faster than mental ones.

The next time stress hits, bypass your thoughts entirely and change one physical thing immediately:

Breathing reset: Make your exhale longer than your inhale for 1 to 2 minutes. Try breathing in for 4 counts, out for 6.

Tension release: Drop your shoulders and unclench your jaw. Most people hold stress in these areas without realizing it.

Temperature shift: Run cold water over your wrists or splash it on your face. This activates your vagus nerve, which helps calm your nervous system.

Movement interrupt: Do 10 jumping jacks or shake out your hands and feet. Physical movement helps calm stress hormones.

These techniques work because they provide your nervous system with new information before your thoughts have a chance to completely take over. Most times, once your body calms down, your mind will naturally follow.
