Duncan Nugget® #178: They Say It, But They Don’t Live It

They say “I want financial independence” but, they don’t live financial responsibility. 

They say “I’m a christian” or “I’m a Muslim” or whatever religion but, they don’t live the true principles.

They say “I want a good man or woman” but, a lot of times they don’t live the life of a good man or woman.

They say “I want to be successful” but, they don’t live a life based on success principles and service. They don’t grind.

A lot of people say it, but…most don’t live it.

Million-Dollar Question: 
Do you live what you say?

Duncan Nugget® #72: How Do You Define Yourself?

People act consistent with who they believe they are.

THINK about that.

If you define yourself as being exceptional then you act like it. If your self-definition is based on mediocrity then you act like it.

Exceptional individuals live in high definition. They have an accurate, internal picture of who they are and what their purpose is.

An inaccurate self-definition will eventually lead to self-sabotage.

When you’re confused about your behavior, figuring out your self-definition will help you pinpoint the cause and make sense of what’s going on. It’s hard to make lasting, positive changes and maximize potential when you don’t have a clear understanding of how you define you.

Million-Dollar Question: 
How do you truly define yourself
and who or what influenced your definition?

The Anatomy of a Threat

Did you know that your body responds to an attack on your character, beliefs, or anything you perceive to be valuable, in the same manner it does to physical threats?

Duncan Nugget® #91: An Ongoing Process

I once heard Earl Nightingale—known as the “Dean of Personal Development”—say that people act like education is a vaccination.

“I’ve been educated.”

Oh, really? And that’s it?! That’s the end? No.

The Unstoppable 5%

Statistics show that 95% of the people who make New Year’s Resolutions give up on them by January 15th? Not cool.

Duncan Nugget® #163: The Difference Between a Hero and a Coward

The difference between a hero and a coward is not the lack of fear. It’s the lack of action.

The difference between someone who is making a difference and someone who is merely a bystander is not the lack of fear. It’s the lack of action.

Everyone from heroes to cowards; from difference makers to bystanders experience the same emotions of doubt, anxiety, and worry. Everyone has problems and issues—some greater than others.

When they are your problems and fears they can seem greater and more stressful than others because…they’re YOURS. Difference makers, however, refuse to allow any of those things to keep them from taking action. Cowards and bystanders don’t even know the meaning of action.

Million-Dollar Question: 
What is keeping you from taking action and what are you going to do about it?
