Use these Simon Sinek quotes to get inspired and find your WHY.

“I find, when you’re an optimist, life has a funny way of looking after you.” – Simon Sinek

Optimism is the only attitude you should have in life. Life is already hard enough if you have a pessimistic or negative attitude it will be unnecessarily harder. Choose to be an optimist and find the silver lining in any situation.

Yes, it won’t be easy at first if you’ve been thinking the opposite way your whole life but it’s crucial to attaining the highest level of success.

“Dream big. Start small. But most of all, start.” – Simon Sinek Quotes 

Just start, take action! You just have to start. Once you do that you will see what you need and learn from your own mistakes.

Once you get momentum you won’t be able to stop and everything will seem easy. Even when things get tough, nothing will stop you (and that optimist attitude).  

“If you want to feel happy, do something for yourself. If you want to feel fulfilled, do something for someone else.” – Simon Sinek

You need a combination of both in your life. You can’t give all of your energy to everyone else. But you shouldn’t make your life all about you either.

Find a balance by putting yourself first to create energy within you. This will lead to positive relationships and the ability to help more people. Always remember, no matter how bad it is, that someone is praying to be where you are right now.

“If no one ever broke the rules, then we’d never advance.” – Simon Sinek

Arnold Schwarzenegger talks about breaking the rules in his epic 5 Rules of Success speech as well. You have to learn how to break some rules or no one would accomplish anything.

“What good is an idea if it remains an idea? Try. Experiment. Iterate. Fail. Try again. Change the world.” – Simon Sinek Quotes

Failure is the path to success. No one got to high levels of success without failing. In fact, they failed the most and the quickest.

Don’t fear failure, seek it out. Fail BIG! The more you fail the more you can learn. Keep going until you make your ideas a reality.

“Life is beautiful not because of the things we see or do. Life is beautiful because of the people we meet.” – Simon Sinek

Relationships are one of the main keys to living a successful life. You can only make it so far on your own. You need to cultivate, maintain, and grow relationships. Find mentors, like-minded people and treat others well so you can create a beautiful life.

Vision is the ability to talk about the future with such clarity it is as if we are talking about the past.” – Simon Sinek Quotes

If you aren’t 100% clear on your future goals you are setting yourself for disappointment. Clarify your vision, goals, and dreams so you can figure out how to make them happen sooner. Learn to communicate your vision with as many people as possible.

Use these Simon Sinek quotes to get inspired and create a beautiful life. Remember, once you find your WHY then you will find out how to make it happen.

But with great power comes great responsibility, distractions are more numerous than ever, we’ve gone from the radio to TV to smart phone. There’s a reason they used to call the TV the ‘idiot box’.

You must be smarter than your smart phone or you will get less done than ever before.

As Jim Kwik said,

“A lot off people give away their sovereignty and their power first thing in the morning”

5 Reasons to Work Out Before Checking Your Emails and Social Media

1 – It Will Destroy Your Focus – Work Out Before Checking Your Emails And Social Media

There are two types of people in the world, the ones that will achieve success and ones that won’t. The difference? Focus. If you want to achieve your goals as bad as you want to breathe you will let nothing stop you or distract you.

So when you wake up in the morning and begin to get ready for your workout toss your smart phone aside, you have much bigger things in mind than anything you’ll scroll past.

If you want to take your workout to another level, pre-workout supplements can give a huge boost, while intensifying your focus. Leave no stone unturned on your journey to the top of the mountain.

2 – It Ruins Your Posture & Can Cause Injury – Work Out Before Checking Your Emails And Social Media

Functional strength expert Angelo Grinceri points out the habit of hunching forward while texting on your phone alters the natural balance of your spine by flattening the lumbar curve and allowing your head to hang forward. “poor lifestyle habits lead to shoulder and neck pain.” Both of which can cause unnecessary strain on your neck after waking, which could contribute to injury at the gym.

If you’re serious about working out get up, stretch and do a proper warm up before the gym, so that when you enter you are ready to give your all.

3 – It Affects Your Mentality – Work Out Before Checking Your Emails And Social Media

Steve Furtick said it best “One reason we struggle with insecurity: we’re comparing our behind the scenes to everyone else’s highlight reel.” If the first thing you do each morning is jump on social media and compare your life to others, it is going to leave you feeling lousy, you need to have laser like vision on your own goals. Let nothing affect your mentality, you need to enter the arena with unwavering ferocity. So do what’s important first and never give away your power.

4 – Your Intensity Suffers – Work Out Before Checking Your Emails And Social Media

If you do find yourself at the gym with your phone, perhaps like me you use it to listen to music. Take note of these do’s and don’ts.

Don’t Text

Another noteworthy study, published in Computers in Human Behavior last year, found that people who texted during a 20-minute workout spent almost 10 of those minutes in a low-intensity zone, and only seven minutes in high intensity. Those who worked out without a phone spent only 3 minutes in low intensity, and almost 13 minutes in high intensity.

It’s obvious, and science confirms that if your looking at your phone in the gym, it’s guaranteed to lower the intensity of your workout. Taking your phone to the gym could be setting your progress back months. Is it really worth it?

Do Listen To Music

The good news is that listening to music on a cell phone had no notable impact on balance, so exercisers should feel free to use their tunes. In fact, earlier research has shown that listening to music during exercise can boost workout intensity and enjoyability.
