You are the company you keep. Everyone has heard this somewhere at least one time in their life. May not remember where, but I bet $4 you've heard it.

..it can all be so much worse. I often find myself complaining about things I have no business complaining about. I often find others complaining about things that they should not be complaining about. For me its "This house is a mess. I wish I didn't have to clean up." or "I don't feel like going to work." For others it could be "I HATE driving in this traffic." But guess what..
There's something I've come to realize... orginazation is key. "Major key alert." - DJ Khaled. My mind, my money, and my work is all over the place. I have no organization whatsoever. All of the things I want to do for Thirty&Free; hardly ever get done because I'm trying to do so many things at once. I want to blog, wholesale, flip homes, develop an app, misc writing, and retire as soon as possible.
Every morning at 6 a.m. before the Steve Harvey Morning show begins, Steve Harvey gives a few words of wisdom, motivation or whatever you want to call it. A few days ago as I'm driving to work, he comes on and he begins talking about the misunderstanding of luck and how he gets upset when people says he is "just a lucky person". His reasoning makes so much sense. People only see his money, fortune, and countless business ventures, but never take into account the hard work he's put in - basically undermining all of his talent and commitment. He goes on to break down what luck actually is..
I always thought starting was the hardest part - building up enough momentum to get you moving, but I'm finding that keeping that progress going is difficult. I'm a month into this and I'm already backsliding. I've been out to eat more than once per pay period, out to the bars, buying random junk. It's so easy to fall back into these bad habits, because they've been good to your dumb-ass. Providing you with instant reward for each of your 40 hours of hard work. I think the reason its so easy is that all of this stuff is readily available; in your face. I don't wake up everyday to a fat bank account, Tesla Model S or a free schedule so I'm not focused on saving or spending to maintain these things.
