    “There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”
    – Nelson Mandela

    People settle for small successes all the time. It is disheartening, because they leave so much opportunity, so much potential positive impact, and so much money on the table.

    With all of that, why on earth would would anyone settle? For example,

    1. There is an emotionally happy charge that comes from any success – even small ones.
    2. You already know how to accomplish the small successes.
    3. You’ve mastered small successes so they don’t make your stomach drop and your palms sweat.
    4. Bottom line: small successes are easy and comfortable.

    But guess what? If you think back, it’s likely the things you’ve accomplished up to today at one point scared the pants off you. Don’t hold back. You have so much more to offer, and so much more to gain.

    So how do you move past the settling phase?

    1. Recognize when you’re settling.
    2. Be willing to be uncomfortable in the short term in order to create bigger successes in the long run.
    3. Decide on a big opportunity you want to go after.
    4. Create the action plan to get there.
    5. Implement it, even if it makes your palms sweat.

    And don’t do it alone. Get a coach or mentor who can help you see the opportunities right in front of you. Every single person I coach is leaving money and opportunities on the table because they’re not getting a big-succes perspective within their own business.

    Stop settling. You deserve and are capable of great things.

    What big opportunity will you commit to going after today?

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
