Defiants

Trouble-makers. Rebellious and unconventional. Fighting to stay outside of the box. Going against the grain. Swimming upstream. Marching to the beat of their own drum.

These are the people that are crazy enough to know, without a doubt, that they can produce a platinum record or a bestselling book. The ones who believe that can be a starting quarterback in the NFL or the best shortstop in all of MLB. They are the people who have the strength to drown out all of the negative thoughts around them. They don’t believe in limitations and they always maintain forward progress. They are the people that breathe life into everyone around them. They are the catalysts for change. They inspire people to live more.

Life is meant to be lived. Growth is a necessity. If you are not aspiring to do great things, change it. You’ll never feel more alive, more motivated, or more excited than when you are chasing down something exciting. Don’t just go through the motions in life. There are way too many people that do that. They let their internal fire burn out. They lose the light in their eyes. Life becomes something to endure, not something to conquer. Conquer your daily habits. Give yourself time to work on your dream every day. Start with the small and you will become the big. Never believe anyone who says you can’t be big. Prove them wrong. Wake up every day believing you are the greatest. Everything starts in your mind. Your mind can be on your side or it can be your biggest opponent. Challenge your mind to grow.

Being big is a mindset. Reality begins internally – with your mind. You must work to think bigger. Every day. The world will attempt to limit your thinking. Don’t allow it to. Allow nothing but positivity, abundance and opportunity into your mind. Let everything else go in one ear and out the other. If you recognize negativity, you welcome more of it in your life. If you deny it access, it will go away. You attract that which you think about. If you work hard to plant the right seeds, you will gain conscious control of your thoughts. Your actions will closely follow.

Fight the negativity in the world. You are bigger than it. You are too big to concern yourself with it. Fight for control of your mind. Fight to change your daily habits and most importantly, fight to get a little bit better each day. Picture yourself with your hands in the air, in total victory of your life. Never let go of that image. It will propel you through the tough days. You will get up when you get knocked down. You will fight until you win.
