Today is Friday, and for one reason or another, most have mentally checked out and prematurely started their weekends a full 24 hours before it even begins.

And it’s those same people who will remain exactly where they are now at this time next year, and every year for that matter until they change their mentality and work ethic.

Regardless if YOUR 2016 was horrible, amazing, or mediocre, if you want to GROW in 2017, you’re gonna have to CHANGE!

Which is extremely inconvenient for most, since everyone is so afraid of change for some f’d up reason.

Nobody wants to get out of their “comfort zone” and do what’s needed to get better, but is your “comfort zone” really that comfortable?

I can’t help but wonder since the research shows the average American has no savings, lives paycheck to paycheck, and is categorized clinically as either “overweight” or “obese.”

And for the first time in the history of our species, the average human’s life expectancy is actually going down.

Let that sink in a moment…

I don’t know about you, but “comfort” is not what comes to mind when I think of those things.

So today, I ask that you need not worry about or focus on the fact that the majority of the population live this way, and instead focus on raising your standards, so you don’t have to.

2017 can and will be your year, but only if you’re willing to put in the work.

Even, and especially on Fridays.
