Loren said, “It doesn’t matter to me how long I live. It matters HOW I live.” It’s important to take mental vacations from people who bring you down. Loren suggested to create a mental to-do list and start with the hardest things first in the morning. Bad times are temporary. You need to make up your mind with one fast decision that commits to you and furthers your journey to where you want to be. In order to light the fire inside of you, write down what drives you in life and what inspires you to be better. This is your “why.” Your “why” will wake you up every day.
You can have average skills with above average will. Find time to change your life. No one else is going to have the time for you. Loren said, “The excuses of I’m too old, I don’t have an education, and I don’t have money are not acceptable. If it’s difficult, so what? If it seems impossible, so what?” Loren used an video of her grandson, Ayden, to show a model of how someone can leave their comfort zone to do something difficult.
Loren said, “Do it again. Do it again. Try again. Fail again. Change everything now so you can have everything you want later.” The decisions you make today determine your tomorrow.
