Do not become distracted by the final product and the outcome of your dreams. Refocus your attention on the process of your aspirations. Striving for greatness and living a life of excellence is not merely a destination but a transformative personal growth journey. It is in the meticulous preparation and repetition, usually in isolation, far away from the bright lights and public attention that will put you in a position to consistently seize the moments on the biggest stages.

So instead of concentrating solely on productivity, allow yourself to focus on energy management, time management, and environmental management. Productivity becomes a byproduct of the other three. How you manage your energy, time, and environment provides you with the mental clarity to unlearn to relearn while being at peak efficiency and performance when your best is required. Your best is needed every single day, no matter the circumstances. Your 86,400 seconds of unique possibilities each day is an invaluable growth opportunity to discover and to get better!

As you read these declarations, understand if you focus on this moment and what is in your control, while exhausting your fullest potential, with time the repetition will create momentum, and the momentum will produce results.

Life is never merely a destination but a journey of awakened discovery. As Lizzie Velásquez, a truth-telling speaker, activist, and author brilliantly remind us all, "We experience challenges in order to learn and grow. We have fears because we're human, and our life's work includes working through them, to come to a place of genuine self-acceptance, compassion, and love."
