“You’re perfect just the way you are… and you could use a little work.” — Zen Master Shunryu Suzuki
In the spirit of the WARRIOR100 and our 100 Day challenges, I’ve pulled together 100 direct, clear pointers as to how and why the Warrior100 is right for you, right now.
Not next year, not for your new years’ resolution, not ‘someday’. HERE. NOW.
The present is only place that life-changing decisions are made. The present is the only place you live, and its where the work is done. The timing will never be perfect, the excuses are always plentiful. Allow that to be present, and make the decision with full uncompromising awareness anyways. Onward. 👊🏻
