One of my favorite quotes of all-time.

It reminds me to live life in a way that others cannot ignore.

Be so positive that people start to question whether you are sane.

Work so hard that people ask themselves if they too have an extra gear they could possibly push to.

Have the awareness that kindness will get your further in life than anger will. So be kind even to those who aren't kind to you.

Notice how nothing above mentions fame or fortune when it comes to being someone other people cannot seem to ignore.

What I am trying to say here...

Is you will be undeniably great at life if you consistently choose to show up everyday and do the little things with an extra effort.

Simple, but not easy.

Here's what I want you to do.

Audit yourself and the way you go about life.

Are there areas that you feel you can add a bit of extra effort in?

Maybe you can make more phone calls to your family and friends to show you care about them.

Or you can force yourself to meet someone new every time you go to the gym.

It could be just you showing up to your job with a smile and a positive attitude...even if you aren't feeling it that day.

Every single one of us has the opportunity to show up better in some area of our lives.

But not every single one of us will actually do it.

Nobody will know right?

Wrong.

You will know.

And if you truly acknowledge this message here today...

It will eat at you if you don't make the effort to start being undeniably great at your life.

p.s. today I am grateful for the Nanny that has started to help Erin and I during the week. Just another reminder that if you invest in putting forth great energy into this world, great energy will come back to you.
