A -Players keep showing up and doing the work.
A-Players love the ‘Suck.’
You can read books; you can have theories, opinions and tell everyone how its supposed to be done. What drives goals though is showing up and doing the work. Day in – day out. You show up. Do the work. Show up. Do the work. That’s the secret. The secret is it sucks, it gets boring, you get frustrated, you want to quit – but you don’t. You just keep showing up. Some days feel like magic, some days you just get through. Everyone working towards a goal, or those who have set out to achieve a goal, knows this. It’s not what you see on Facebook or Instagram. Someone else doesn’t have the ‘secret trick’. All goals come with a certain amount of suck and you just learn to love the suck. Yes, ‘Love The Suck.’

- Until we can receive with an open heart, we’re never really giving with an open heart. When we attach judgment to receiving help, we knowingly or unknowing attach judgment to giving help. – Brene Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection
- You are allowed to let go. On the other side, God is waiting to fill your life with such abundance. But if you cling to scraps, you can’t be given a feast If you cling to crumbs of love, you’ll never create space in your love for big love to find you. If you keep letting what other people think drive your decisions, you’ll always wonder who you are. You finally find our who you are when you let go of what and who no longer serve you. – Mastin Kipp.
