“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.” — Anatole France

Ever get the nagging feeling you could do more with your life? Or how about a burning desire to accomplish great things?

Growing up in the ghetto with a father dying from AIDS taught me one critical lesson: No one-minute trick to create your miracle morning will save you if you believe you’re a product of your environment.

Your life starts with your philosophy.

Before you get to the business of planning and goal-hacking, you must believe in something. And if you can’t clearly explain your philosophy in ten seconds, you don’t know what you believe.

But it’s not just having a philosophy, it’s having the right philosophy.

That’s the difference between heroes and villains. It’s the difference between a miserable life or a fulfilled one.
