Building Good Habits

There was a great take away I learned from Game 2 of the NBA Western Conference Finals that Assistant Coach Brown and Stephen Curry constantly repeated in their post game interviews: its about "building good habits". Aside from basketball, "building good habits" must be the key for any successful person.

The average person must work hard to be successful, but we hardly hear about what it means to work hard.

Should we kick ourselves if some days we do not perform at our top level?

Working hard is not like climbing the stairs to success, it's not a straight line to the top. If I were to draw my life it would be a scribble of bright and dark colors in no particular shape or specific colors. It's indescribable. It just is.

Everything starts from within and building good habits is the key. Take the time to learn about yourself. There are so many paths a person can walk in the journey of finding yourself. Many get lost along the way but those that create their own paths find that where they are at in the present is where they are meant to be, and knowing that this moment is real and it's for the taking, is all that really matters.

Lets talk about good habits. Good habits may be different or the same for any individual. The trick is to keep questioning yourself until you've settled. It's the internal struggle that's the ultimate judge of your choices. You'll know it's the right thing to do when you're doing it for yourself because no one is living your life except you.

Build good habits now, your future self will thank you!

Stole this from Kevin Durant (my new life mantra):

I'm me. I do me, and I chill.
