GM & Happy Friday!

Heres some of my favourite high leverage principles - steal them for yourself & tell me what happens :)

The most powerful healing you can offer anyone else is to be as authentically YOU as you can be. It's often the exact inspiration they need to be themselves too.
Fair-weather friends are everywhere when you're winning. It's when times are tough your inner circle is revealed. Be grateful for the tough times as it allows you to build stronger bonds with the people who REALLY have your back.
If you want friends that have your back? Be that friend for someone else first.
Nobody has it all figured out, everything is one big experiment.
Keeping promises to yourself is how you build confidence
Everything in life "makes sense" to someone. If something doesn't make sense to you? It's often a sign you're missing some key information to give you the perspective you need to be able to contextualise the thing into making sense - whether or not you agree is a different story.
Everyone you meet has something to teach you - it's your job to figure out what it is & if you want to learn.
When you find a master willing to teach you, WHAT they are teaching doesn't matter - just say yes & go for it. Mastery of mastery itself is the true goal.
Find your truth & speak it fearlessly.
Verbalise your dreams often & utilise the conscious mind to program the subconscious.
Media is to humans as code is to machines - be vigilant as to what you allow into your mind.
Question everything until you have satisfied your curiosity enough to be able to teach what you believe in.
Movement is life - you don't stop moving when you grow old, you grow old when you stop moving.
FUN! You don't stop having fun when you grow old... you grow old when you stop having fun!
Everything in life is in a perpetual state of growth or decay - you get to choose which one you're actively doing right now ;)
Pay attention to the people who love you for you - not what you can do for them.
Writing is a powerful form of thinking, do it often. Write goals, dreams, visions, review them, reflect upon your emotions, reflect upon your actions & write about interesting questions that are on your mind. Sometimes the subconscious will leak through & give you powerful insights into how you can better support the next version of you.
We are always in a state of becoming. The harder you fight change - the more painful the changes will become. Surrender to life.
The past is a story & the future an idea.. the present is a gift - find your way back to it as often as you can.
What you resist persists. The longer you fight your "shadow" the stronger it gets & the more often you have to face it.
Anxiety is excitement without the breathe.
Fear is arousal without permission.
Evolve or repeat
What got you here.. wont get you there.
True friends are the family you choose.
Travel to reinvent yourself
Seek conversations with people who challenge your beliefs and are able to back it up. This is a chance to learn & evolve - perhaps for both of you.
Nature is the best medicine - spend time in it, eat the most natural foods you can find & give thanks to her for providing you with a tremendous world you can explore & live in.
Life is happening for you not to you. Going through challenges? Good. You asked to be strong.
The more you appreciate the little things, the more you will have to be appreciative for. What you focus on will grow.

Heres a few bonus ones because I love to overdeliver <3

Don’t take life so seriously, it’s all one big cosmic joke.
“go with the flow” doesn’t mean to simply not make choices & be weak. It means to be aligned within yourself, your community, your environment & the energy of the universe itself. Find ways to be a part of the flow.
You can always be a new you, today.
Get “funcomfortable” everyday to grow :)
