Are you stuck in a rut? Or maybe you're facing more serious adversity. It happens to all of us. There are always times in our lives which challenge us greatly. Sometimes we don’t even know how we get ourselves stuck in these situations. But if you’re in the arena long enough, you’ll almost certainly find yourself facing the darkness a time or two. In those times, face your fear. Become a ferocious competitor. But not against others. Compete with yourself. Dedicate yourself to being a little better than you were the day before. Let the gravity of the challenge become the power of your resolve. Your commitment to pushing a little harder, maximizing your talents and strengths will make you an unstoppable force of nature. Don’t become distracted by comparing yourself to others. Learn what you can from them but be true to yourself and never give up. Keep moving forward. This is the essence of winning in business and in life. There’s your Friday Juice. Now go make the magic happen. #FridayJuice #ThePeoplesGuru

The only time you’re alive is NOW. Be present. Get things done. Make a difference. In life or in business, it’s all happening NOW. The past is gone forever. And the future isn’t promised. Don’t chain yourself to things that have already happened. Learn from the past, then let it go. You are who you are, right NOW. Believe in the future but invest your time today in the hope of making your tomorrows better. It’s been said we only live once, but the truth is we only die once. Our opportunity to live life exists every day we’re lucky enough to be here. So, do that thing you’ve been putting off, make that call or send that text. Start that project or finish that task. Take charge of what you have control over. Be the leader you’d follow. Laugh like a child, love with all your heart and LIVE your awesome life with passion…NOW. Giddy up. #FridayJuice #ThePeoplesGuru

Persistence sounds like hard work. But it really comes down to one principle…don’t quit. You don’t have to take huge steps in the direction of your goals, dreams, or desires, even a lean in the right direction is better than nothing. The opposite of success is not failure. Failure is actually part of the process. The opposite of success is inaction. Giving up. Quitting. It’s your life and success is a choice. Limitations are only those which are perceived and acknowledged. Losing only becomes your reality when you accept it. Refuse to lose, stay committed and remain persistent. That’s how you win in business and in life. Keep. Moving. Forward. Like a champion. There’s your Friday Juice. #BringIt #Winning #FridayJuice #ThePeoplesGuru

🎶 A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men 🎶 Take time to laugh every day. As much as you can and as many times as you can. Laugh at yourself. Laugh at what’s going on around you. Be fun, be silly, and even a little crazy. Laugh out loud, with energy and purpose, and maybe even laugh until you cry… It really is the best medicine. It simultaneously cures and is wildly contagious. There aren’t any restrictions or lousy side effects. In fact, you’re more likely to experience things like spontaneous joy or an overwhelming sense of renewal. Become addicted. It’s good for your soul (Especially in these crazy times) There’s your Friday Juice. Have a great weekend! ✌🏼 #FridayJuice #ThePeoplesGuru

Your inner circle should be made up of people who inspire you, challenge you, encourage you, and make you a better person. You should do the same things for them. Lose the haters, the positivity zappers, and the energy vampires. “Ain’t nobody got time for that” #FridayJuice #ThePeoplesGuru #IntentionalLiving #LightenTheLoad

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment” - Ralph Waldo Emerson In life, standing out from the crowd is both powerful and rewarding. It’s the purest way to reach your full potential, allowing you to use your gifts and abilities to the benefit of all. In business, a positive separation factor can mean everything. Standing out from the competition is often the most quantifiable difference between winning and losing. And do you know what makes up 90% of that value and discernible difference? It’s YOU. In a world full of pretenders and phonies, being honest and authentic wins the game. It you want to be entirely unique, just be yourself. There’s no one else on the planet like YOU. Winning in life and in business all starts in one place. Understanding who you are. Embrace it and then work on becoming the greatest version of yourself possible. You’re truly one of a kind. So shine on, you crazy diamond. #FridayJuice #ThePeoplesGuru

Everyone is struggling with something. All of us are fighting our own battles. Mentally, emotionally, spirituality, financially, physically…there are all kinds of war zones being navigated every single day. And honestly, we never really know what someone else is dealing with at any given time. So here’s some solid advice on how to interact with your fellow humans in life, at home, or in business. Be kind. Yes, there are times when we should be serious and stern. But you can still be kind. In business, you can still be a tough negotiator, an intelligent operator and a strong leader, and still be kind. We’re all out here in the arena, every day, some to a greater degree than others, and we’re all doing what we can to move in the right direction. Adversity is not isolated, unique, and certainly doesn’t discriminate. We’re either experiencing it now or we’re about to. Treat people the way you wish to be treated. Take the edge off. Stop trying to win conversations. Lose the anger and bitterness and have a lasting impact for all the right reasons. Be kind. It will make everyone’s experience so much better. Especially yours. ✌🏼 #FridayJuice #ThePeoplesGuru #IntentionalLiving

Having a positive mindset is the foundation to any formula for success in business or in life.

To start pursuing your visions, your goals, and your dreams? How about TODAY? There's your Friday Juice. Bring it like you mean it. #FridayJuice #ThePeoplesGuru

Nothing extraordinary has ever been accomplished without enthusiasm. Believe it. Do the things you’re most passionate about every single day. And have some fun. Laugh out loud and live in the moments. What this world needs now, maybe more than ever, is people who are alive, awake, enthusiastic, and living with passion. Giddy up! #BringIt #FridayJuice #ThePeoplesGuru
