Recently I joined two separate challenges. One was a 30-day step challenge with my colleagues. The other was a 21-day video challenge with a coaching group. While I consider myself both an avid runner and content creator, both have challenged me to be consistent every single day and pushed me to get out and make it happen, especially on those days when I felt like taking it easy or even being lazy. My question to you is, are you challenging yourself to grow? You don’t have to necessarily join a challenge, but I have found them to be great opportunities to learn, grow, and keep yourself accountable to getting things done. Plus, they can be tons of fun. Today I’m challenging you to push yourself just a bit harder. Find a buddy that will hold you accountable or join a group and start a fun challenge to push each other and achieve bigger victories together.

Motivational writer William Arthur Ward said, “Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them.” Are you taking time to observe the opportunities around you? Would you notice them if they were in front of your eyes?

This week I’ve been talking about the importance of self-improvement to become a better version of yourself. Aside from being able to advance further in life, did you know that daily learning can help you live longer? It’s true. Continued learning helps keep us healthy in mind and body. Studies have also shown a correlation between education level and life expectancy. That’s not to say that the letters on your college degree have anything to do with it. But rather, those people that become lifelong learners and continue to grow, tend to live longer because they are fueling their brains with a steady flow of nutrients. In other words, stimulating your mind and feeding it good and positive information will help you live a longer and healthier life. Pick up that book, attend that workshop or seminar, and keep giving your brain what it needs to stay healthy and strong.

For the last two days, I’ve been talking about self-improvement and doing the things that make us better every single day. One of the ways we can foster self-improvement is by being curious. Having curiosity and desire, within ourselves, to seek out new ideas, opportunities for growth, and specialized learning for the purpose of personal development and life advancement. Albert Einstein said, “Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.” We have an opportunity each day to learn, grow, and advance. This should be something we actively seek out, for our own betterment and enrichment of life. You don’t have to listen to me. Listen to Einstein. He’s pretty much an expert on the matter. Think about it. For your action step, think of one thing you can do today (in 5-10min) to foster self-improvement. Then go out and do it. Thanks and Be Excellent!

Yesterday I shared a message about keeping busy by improving yourself every single day. Today’s message follows that same line of thinking. If you want to succeed, then you must focus on changing (or improving) yourself, not others. You can’t change others and you can’t force them to act or behave in a certain way. However, you can focus your time, energy, and attention on improving yourself and making yourself better. This would be a wise investment of time and resources, especially if you aspire to advance in life. For today’s action step, spend a few minutes doing a self-inventory. Do you spend more time focusing on your own improvement or trying to change others? Be honest with yourself and make any necessary adjustments.

Happy motivation Monday. If you’ve been tuning in since I relaunched the Daily Minute with Rich podcast, then you heard me recently talk about my absence from social media for a self-imposed digital detox. I spent that time reconnecting with myself and working on areas that needed improvement. I distanced myself from things that no longer served me and welcomed things that brought me joy and peace. That’s how I kept myself busy. Along those lines, I found this message and I thought I’d share it here. “Be so busy improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.” It’s a powerful reminder to focus on making yourself better each and every day. It also reminds us to avoid the negativity that comes from criticizing or throwing shade at others. For today’s action step, spend ten minutes today on an activity that is going to make you better in a preferred area.

Some people believe that being a leader means always being in front or in the spotlight. If you think that’s the only way to lead, then take a minute to consider this message from activist, politician, and former 1st President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela. He said, “It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.” In other words, when you’re celebrating the good times, that’s when you should put other people first and give them a chance to shine. But when times are hard, then you have an obligation to step up and lead your people around the obstacles and through the darkness. Think about it. Thanks and Be Excellent!

The ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu was born in 571 BC. He was the founder of Taoism, and his wise teachings would be compiled as the Tao Te Ching. Whether you’ve heard of the “Old Master” or not, you’ve probably heard one of his most famous pearls of wisdom. That being, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” This was certainly an important reminder for those walking a great physical distance, like back in his day. It’s just as meaningful today, for those who might want to travel a great distance in life. Perhaps that means starting a business, going back to school, or advancing in some other area of life. The journey ahead might be long, but you can’t finish unless you start. Begin with that first single step and then keep on going. I believe in you. Thanks and Be Excellent!

Do you know the best way to catch flies? No, I haven’t lost my mind and no I’m not talking about literally catching those pesky insects. I am, however, talking about what we do to attract things to us. So why the fly reference? Because Abraham Lincoln said, “A drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.” Another version of that saying is, “You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.” In either case, the message is clear. If you want to attract someone or earn their favor, you’re better off using kindness and having a friendly demeanor than being harsh or off-putting.  If this is a topic that interests you, then I highly recommend reading Dale Carnegie’s classic book, How to Win Friends and Influence People. It’s one of my favorites. Until next time, thanks and be excellent!

Yesterday I shared one of my favorite success quotes and today I have another message that has resonated with me over the years. This one comes from the founder of the Ford Motor company. That’s right, I’m talking about Henry Ford. If you’re a fan of Napoleon Hill’s books, then you know he often cites Ford in different quotes and stories in his works. The quote that has made a lasting impression on me is this one. He said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right.” It’s reminded me to be mindful of the thoughts and beliefs I maintain about myself, my skills and abilities, and my commitment to achieving what I want. What about you? Have you heard this quote before? I’d love to hear your thoughts and what this means to you.
