In order to get the most out of life, you have to do hard things. No, I don’t mean life will put you through hard things and you will survive, although that is bound to happen too, I mean you MUST do hard things to become the person you will need to be to reach your goals! Here are 6 HARD things you can start doing today that will start you on that path to becoming who you were meant to be!

1. Leave the past in the past. We all have had hard times, made bad choices or gone through things we wish we had not. Those should fuel your passions and not hold you back.
2. STOP caring about what other people think of you. Yep, you probably hear this EVERY day. Start listening.
3. Understand you will get out of life what you put into it. Work, love, life. Go all in.
4. Stand up for something! There is nothing more attractive than a person passionate about something.
5. Develop a mindset that will propel you forward. Confidence, faith, mental toughness, whatever you want to call it. Get it and work on it every single day!
6. Be who you are.  Always be kind, but always share what you truly think. People respect and value truth, trust and kindness.

Distance yourself from negative people. Gossip, pessimism, or people who leave you feeling drained. Protect your energy. The ONE thing we all have in common is TIME. How will you use yours? Can you do these hard things? Print this out and stick to these for one week. Journal how it goes. I think you just might find yourself evolving into someone pretty darn amazing!
