1. "Don't downgrade your dream just to fit your reality, upgrade your conviction to match your destiny" –Stuart Scott

This quote right here is special! It highlights the mentality we must maintain as we embark on the journey to transforming our lives.

A journey that will contain many trials and tribulations that will test our desire, commitment, and determination to reaching our fullest potential. It is especially at these times that we must continue to have faith in our potential to achieve every single one of our dreams. Furthermore, it is imperative that we refrain from compromising on the reality we want to foster and the experiences we want to live.

Lesson #1 — Never settle for the ordinary when you deserve the extraordinary.

Hands down my favorite quotes of all time! This quote encourages us to create our own reality and reminds us that we don't have to be doing what everyone else is doing. Moreover, it highlights the unique contribution that every single one of us has for the world and encourages us to take action in creating our own path.

3. "Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant." –Robert Louis Stevenson

Sometimes the desire for "instant gratification" may push us away from recognizing the true progress we are making on our goals.

I have learned over the years that every challenge, opportunity, and experience is truly bringing us closer to the life of our dreams. Not only are they providing a stronger foundation for our lives, but they are also allowing us to learn about ourselves— our strengths, our weaknesses, our passions, our desires.

Lesson #3 — Trust the process! There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

4. "Life is about breaking our personal limits and outgrowing ourselves to live our best lives." –Anonymous

Seeking growth in every aspect of our lives is the key to reaching our highest potential. We must continue to step outside our comfort zones, seek growth, and challenge ourselves. Life's too short to live anything but the life of our dreams. Thus, we must continue to push through boundaries, reach higher, and dream bigger.

Lesson #4 — You only live once! Live your best life!
