Who?

Who are you trying to impress?
What are you trying to prove?
What are you afraid to lose?

Your priorities shape your reality, like a viewfinder shapes a shot.

If any attempt to impress or prove, or a fear of loss, is anywhere near the top of the list of priorities that fundamentally motivate you, you are headed for failure. 
Whatever your goals, wherever you are, if your priorities are not based on self-awareness, and inner clarity, you are bound to bottom out.

The whole thing is super simple. 
Get. Your. Priorities. Straight. 
Why do you do what you do?
What is the drive behind your daily grind?
What is your motivation?
Where do you take inspiration?

Get unflinchingly clear.
Learn to see yourself with unwavering honesty. 
Grow from there.
