#MondayMotivation — Excellence is a HABIT

#MondayMotivation — Excellence is a HABIT

🎓 The Greek philosopher Aristotle said “We are what we repeatedly do.” This is very true. Keep in mind — this can be a GOOD thing or a BAD thing.

👉 It all depends on WHAT you’re DOING.

✳️ REPETITION — doing the same thing over and over again — leads to MASTERY.

I’ll never forget the words of a friend and mentor of mine, the late Pat Casey (also the guy who gave me my first anchoring job — hosting 4 1/2 hours of LIVE TV every morning at WKEF and WRGT in Dayton, Ohio).

Pat once told me “You can’t do almost 25 hours of live TV every week and not get good at what you do.” He was right.

👉 If you put in the time and effort, you can do just about ANYTHING — from playing an instrument to riding a bike, even learning new software.

If you do something over and over again long enough, you can’t help but get good.

👉 This also applies to your overall state of mind. 🙇‍♂️

📝 Repetitive POSITIVE thoughts and practices will lead to an overall positive, productive mindset — while adversely, repeating NEGATIVE thoughts can lead to a devastating downward spiral.

I’ve been trying to practice this in MY everyday life — by learning new production techniques, learning new apps/software, and by PRACTICING being a decent human being.

🤔 What are YOU doing OVER and OVER again that’s POSITIVE? What NEGATIVE habits do you have that you can overcome? Let me know in the COMMENTS below!

👉 Create a cycle of POSITIVITY.

• STAY POSITIVE
• STAY FOCUSED
• BE EXCELLENT!

Whatever it is you’re looking to master, I hope you go out and GET IT. Just KEEP TRYING. You’ll get there. 🙏❤️
