3 Value Bombs

1) Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.

2) Life throws curveballs every day, especially in these changing times. Keep on reminding yourself what your why is.

3) There are so many different vices out there that create emptiness. And if you don’t have some type of belief that there’s something greater than yourself, and you’re consistently counting on yourself to get out of the hole, you’re going to find the emptiness there.

[4:59] – Focusing on perseverance.

• Life throws curveballs every day, especially in these changing times. Keep on reminding yourself what your why is.

[14:04] – Not having the three pillars during his time of substance abuse.

• He couldn’t imagine life without having some type of drug in his system every single day. He had no way to cope in life. He lost his way. He didn’t even know what a relationship with God was.
• He lost his 7-figure business during the time.

[15:51] – The possibility of being spiritual and creating wealth.

• When you put that spirituality first, everything else follows in pursuit.
• Your higher power is your go-to when you’re having those down days and struggling with something.
• There are so many different vices out there that create that emptiness. And if you don’t have some type of belief that there’s something greater than yourself, and you’re consistently counting on yourself to get out of the hole, you’re going to find the emptiness there.
