Your Actions Define YOU
Everything you do (and don’t do) matters.
Your actions define. Your lack of action defines you. What you do when no one else is looking.. DEFINES YOU. You are the sum of all of your actions, and inaction. Fortunately and unfortunately. Your success is solely relying on you to get up and make shit shake.
This year flew by FAST. Time waits for no man. Inaction will kill forward momentum and laziness will make even the most well thought out plans crumble.
The world we live in requires consistent action daily. You must chip away at the mountain in front of you on a daily basis to get where you are going. Especially if you are behind in life or below the poverty line. Time will never stop. It is one thing we can count on to keep moving forward no matter what. Sometimes it seems that it is moving faster than WE know it to be moving.
Take a look back at this year. Look at 2024. Look at 2023. Did you accomplish anything that you’re proud of? Did you do anything to get better, be better, more educated, or more skilled? Your actions define this. YOUR ACTIONS DEFINE YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL. You are the sum of all of your actions.
After a certain age, you have to stop blaming your parents and upbringing, and start blaming (or congratulating) yourself for where you are in life. You have to take your life into your hands and start analyzing your decision making. Why do you make the decisions you do? Being driven by emotions. Being driven by greed and need. Learn yourself so that you can properly navigate life and maximize your potential.
You are what you wake up and do consistently on a daily basis. You are what you consistently put your time into. Pick your poison. The world is constantly changing and it’s getting harder like a video game that you keep unlocking levels on. Make your challenges harder. Condition yourself for the future that is to come. Mold yourself. Become resilient.
Figure out a way to become financially free BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Figure out a way to gain a skill. Master it then get another skill. Get financially lean. Then get leaner. THEN make more money. Never stop applying to jobs and looking for opportunities. Keep your expenses low while constantly growing your knowledge base. ALWAYS BE LEARNING. NEVER STOP LEARNING. Your discipline in this economic tsunami will have ripple effects across your family for generations to come. Stay lean and constantly upskill and your kids and their kids will be ahead of the pack. Do the opposite and your grandchildren will more than likely have a harder financial uphill battle than we currently do. Would make graduating college in 2008 look like a dream.
YOUR ACTIONS DEFINE YOU. They will determine what kind of life your grandchildren will live. Make the right choices NOW to live better LATER. Upskilling and education should be your top priorities. And if you think it ever stops, I know people with STEM degrees that are looking at what else they can learn to elevate themselves in the circles they are in. The more you know, the better. Unicorns are rare, BECOME ONE. It’s hard to fire the person that knows everything and keeps the lights on. People like that command their pay and usually have their pick of opportunities. You should be working as hard as you can right now to become a unicorn in whatever industry you’re in right now or wherever you’re aiming at switching into.
Unicorns don’t just get paid, they get fought over. Build a brilliant mind to thrive, not just survive. The actions you take right now will define you as an individual for the next 100 years.
