I stopped him at this point, and said “Almost a year? Do you realize that self-growth is a never-ending process?”

I want all of you to think about that for one second. No matter where you are in your life today, if you’re somebody that really strives to have an amazing life then you are going to be growing every single day.

Self-growth is a lifetime job. It really is.

It is not a temporary thing you’re going through like getting the flu. There is no temporary self-growth fix. It’s constant.

The Ultimate Mindset

It’s a constant thing that happens in your life. You will always have things that you need to work on, there will always be things that you need to battle, and there will always be things that you need to learn and to embrace.

Self-growth is something I am going to do until the day I die. I’m going to be still growing probably on the day that I die, because I still have a lot of self-growth left to do. That’s life.

So just enjoy where you are in your life right now. If you feel like you’re frustrated, and you wish that the self-growth stage of your life would be over so that you can finally be where you want to be in your life, then I have news for you.

Once you get to where you want to be in life, you will want to be somewhere else — because there is always something else you will need to work on or learn. So just enjoy it.

One of my favorite quotes is one I said to a client a long time ago: “You are where you are in your life because that’s exactly where you should be.”

I want you all to think about that today. You are where you are in your life because it’s exactly where you’re supposed to be.

What are your beliefs? What are you willing to do, and how much are you willing to take?

Who do you respect? Who do you honor? Do you honor yourself? Do you honor who you are as a person?

Do you have beliefs that are so strong that you’ll stand up for yourself no matter what? Or are you a pushover in every way – you’re just taking the scraps of life as they come to you?

Man, this sounds like a harsh blog – but it really isn’t!

I want you all to step up for yourself today and I want you to write down what you believe in.

I want you to write it on the blog right now. Start it off with this: “David, my name is _____, and I believe in…” Tell me what you believe in.

I’ve spent the last year writing blogs for you guys, and you know what I believe in. You know what I stand for: I stand for truth, justice, and the American way. Am I Superman, or what?

But what do you believe in? What are you going to stand up for? How do you want your life to be?

I want to hear from you guys today. I want to hear what you are all about.

You write me a blog today. Write me a long post and tell me what you believe in. Tell me what you’re fighting for. Tell me exactly how you want your life to be six months from now – and what you’re doing every single day to make that happen.

I challenge you to stand up for yourself today on this blog. Only the gutsiest people are actually going to stand up. Most of you are just going to read it, think about it, and wait for the perfect thing to write.

But there is no perfect thing to write.

I just want to hear what you believe in; I want to hear what you stand for, and I want to get to know you even deeper.
