how do you expect to have pearly whites when you neglect your teeth?
you don’t brush them, you won’t floss, + you constantly are drinking teeth staining liquids.
until you decide to put the effort into cleaning + maintaining your teeth, you will continue experiencing a dirty set of chops.
how do you expect to have a clean car when you won’t care for it?
you throw any + everything into its interior, you never vacuum or clean out the trunk, + the only way the exterior gets washed is when it rains!
until you decide to put the effort into cleaning + maintaining your car, you will continue experiencing a dirty car.
these two scenarios can drastically change with the exact same thing: purposeful effort.
you see what a little purposeful effort can do in your life, fam?
today, concentrate your efforts into creating positive changes in your life.
your life today is a reflection of your efforts in the past.
it is the culmination of all the effort you’ve ever put forth — knowingly + unknowingly.
you get your most favorable results when you are intentional about what you do + why you’re doing it.
brushing your teeth is a small effort you can put your energies into that can totally transform your smile.
throwing away trash + keeping your car clean may take a little more effort when it’s full of misplaced items, but what a difference riding in a clean whip can do for your mental health!
instead of fighting against what you know must be done,
instead of complaining about the effort it takes to experience life the way that you want to experience it,
make an effort to do something each day that aligns with that you want to experience.
that way, you can see how impactful purposeful effort is on your daily life + how,
when presented with the opportunity to make a difference in your life,
you can stand on business bringing forth the best you can give to take you where you want to be.
be you, be dope!
