Jacobs Affirmations

Developing a Growth Mindset is the start of every journey. When we believe we can get better, we approach every moment differently. Follow me on Twitter and Instagram for more, @MrJacobEspi.

I was in the middle of an already awkward performance when people in the audience started asking us to fight on stage. I'm still grateful to have been invited. I also learned that even when things go worse than expected we can use them as opportunities to continue getting better and as confidence boosts to take action even when we are afraid. Learn to love new challenges! Follow me on Twitter and Instagram, @MrJacobEspi.

I have no idea what I'm doing, and that is exciting for me! Focusing on how far I still have to go is fuel for my fire.

Getting to reference Gary Vaynerchuck and Ryan Holiday in the same five-minute podcast is exciting for me. Today we become aware of how intensely our egos are holding us back. If we want to accomplish big things we need to THINK BIG and ACT SMALL. Gary Vaynerchuk describes this idea as clouds and dirt. We need to dream in the clouds and live in the dirt.

Today's episode is inspired by a tweet from The Rza. "Meditate on this: Dedicate your time to chase after the things that make your eyes light up, genuine friendships that aren’t complicated, trying new things that scare you, and spending time with people who truly love and appreciate you." How much time do you make for the people who truly appreciate the things you offer to the world? For more, follow me on Instagram and Twitter, @MrJacobEspi.

How well do you understand what motivates you and the value you bring to the people around you? Today we break the concept of self-awareness into two segments, motivation and value. Motivation is an internal look at self-awareness, including how we react to situations and how well we know how to keep ourselves motivated. Value being an external perspective and an understanding of what we have to offer that will benefit the people around us. Stay in touch on Twitter and Instagram, @MrJacobEspi. www.JacobEspinoza.com
