The Daily Warrior Meditation

There is no such thing as a typical day.

Your mind must be agile.

You must be prepared to handle whatever comes at you.

You must be prepared for the unknown.

You need to learn Sun-tzu. You need to learn Lao-tzu. You need to learn Miyamoto Musashi.

Mental agility is something that you cannot learn from a book.

Every day you wake up, you might be confronted with something that you have never seen before.

You cannot let this paralyze you.

Contingency planning is everything.

Always have a plan B, a plan C, a plan D, and a "if none of those work reaction mode".

You must have outside social circles to stay balanced.

Join a sport club...

Do Martial arts...

Lift weights...

Run...

Do SOMETHING besides work to stay balanced...

Balance is everything...

Make sure you never neglect your family and friends in all of this...

Also know that no one will ever value YOUR future more than you, so do not be swayed by someone who pretends to value your future more than you in order to convince you to take a bad deal...

Learn to negotiate...

If you understand when the ball is in your court, you will understand when to exercise the upper hand...

When you do not have the upper hand, you will understand when to take a good deal that benefits both sides...

Never forget where you came from...

Always give back to the community that built you...

Never forget, no man is an island...

Go be your ultimate self.

Do not let people convince you to be mediocre.

You are absolutely not mediocre.

Find the limits of your potential, and then surpass them.
