Imagine the most ideal version of yourself.

- Confident
- Fit
- Successful
- Resilient

Now, break it down and identify the habits that created this person.

And start acting like that person today.

Remember: growth isn't linear.

- Some weeks will be better than others
- You'll face obstacles you didn't know existed
- Old habits will tempt you

Growth is about getting back up and trying again.

Celebrate the small wins.

Each habit completed is a small piece of the big goal.

Celebrate it.

- Take a day off
- Watch a movie
- Go dancing with a friend

Positive reinforcement creates a more conducive environment for growth.

The habits are more important than the goal.

They are the building blocks of the person you want to be.

- They teach you discipline
- They teach you focus
- They create momentum

With the habits, you'll outgrow the goal.

Build the habits that take you towards the goal.

- Write 500 words a day
- Run 5 miles a week
- Learn a new sales technique each day

The habits are the journey there.

Start with a big goal.

- Write a book
- Run a marathon
- Double your income

This goal is the north star.

Everything you do must be aligned with that end result.

The person you want to be isn't an end result, it's a present state.

- More confident
- More resilient
- More focused
- More creative

When you embody these traits, you become the person you've always wanted to be.

Imagine your life when you become the person you always wanted to be.

Now, start acting like that person today.

So, take one step.

Make one phone call.

Send one email.

Create one piece of content.

Do one thing every day towards your purpose.

And watch your ripple effect grow.

You don't need to be perfect.

Mistakes will happen.

That's how you learn and make improvements.

The journey towards your purpose is messy.

But it's worth it.

Don't wait until you feel "ready."

You may never feel ready.

Fear and uncertainty are normal.

But, taking action is how you conquer those fears and move forward.

The ripple effect starts the moment you take action.

Every little thing you do matters.

You never know who you'll inspire, encourage, or help along the way.

Your actions can cause a domino effect that changes lives.

That could mean:

• Starting your own business
• Volunteering at a non-profit
• Sharing your message or story on social media
• Starting a blog or podcast
• Creating art or music
• Mentoring someone

Whatever it is, just start.

You don't need to have all the answers before taking action.

The truth is, you'll never have all the answers.

Taking action is how you learn and grow.

So, take one step towards your purpose.

I used to think I needed to have it all figured out before I could make a difference in the world.

But the truth is, your ripple effect starts the moment you take one step towards your purpose.

So don't wait.
