One of the biggest mistakes we make when we want to change our lives is assuming we need to figure everything out on our own.

Tony Robbins talks about what he calls the two master skills, but the part that really stood out to me was the idea that success leaves clues. If someone has built something that works and has been able to sustain it for years, it’s probably not luck. At some point, they figured out a pattern that produces a certain result.

And yet most of us do the opposite. We look at the people around us, compare ourselves to them, and try to figure out our own path without ever asking a much simpler question: who has already done what I’m trying to do?

Because there are people who have already built the business you want to build. They’ve created the relationships you want. They’ve developed the discipline you wish you had. They’ve gone through the failures, made the mistakes, and figured out what actually works.

You don’t have to become them. But you can study them.

You can pay attention to the decisions they make, the habits they repeat, the way they think, and the standards they refuse to compromise. Then you can take those patterns and apply them to your own life.

I think that’s one of the most underrated forms of growth. You don’t always need a completely new answer. Sometimes you just need to stop repeating patterns that aren’t working and start borrowing patterns from people who have already produced the result you’re looking for.

Because if you keep planting the same seeds, you shouldn’t be surprised when you keep harvesting the same results.

It absolutely sinks in.

This perspective is a powerful reminder that our actions often speak far louder than our words. Whether it’s a child, a younger sibling, a peer, or even a colleague, someone is always observing how we handle stress, treat others, and navigate life.

Setting a positive example is often the most important work we ever do.

The responsibility can feel heavy, but it also offers a profound opportunity.

I’ve now got 4 kids. I’ve seen first hand how these little humans literally just repeat what we do; good or bad. They want to be just like us. So we might as well implement good habits and become our best selves.

How can you use this awareness to make a positive impact today?

One of the biggest reasons people never build something meaningful is because they expect the reward before they’ve earned the right to receive it.

Ice Cube said that if you’re not willing to grind for five years without making a dollar, don’t even start. At first that sounds extreme, but the longer I thought about it, the more I realized he wasn’t talking about money. He was talking about expectations.

We’ve become so used to immediate results that we start questioning the process long before the process has had a chance to work. We want the business to take off in the first year. We want the audience to grow after a few posts. We want the investment to pay us back before we’ve really invested anything at all.

But almost everything worthwhile asks for your commitment before it offers you its reward.

That’s the trade most people don’t want to make.

Because showing up every day without immediate validation feels lonely. It feels uncertain. It makes you question whether you’re moving in the right direction. Meanwhile, everyone else is measuring your progress by what they can see, while you’re trying to build something they can’t.

I think that’s why Ice Cube also said something that deserves to be repeated.

Don’t complain about what you didn’t get from the work you didn’t put in.

It’s a hard truth, but it’s an honest one.

Because the people who eventually get to sign the checks are almost always the same people who spent years doing the work before anyone was paying attention.

It’s worth it.

One of the greatest blessings my wife and I have experienced is getting to have the choice to have my wife stay home with the kids. She actually homeschools all of them believe it not.

There’s just something special about having her be home and get to hug on our kids all day long.

It makes the grind worth it.

There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to continue to make sure she gets to experience those hugs and giggles all day long.

Are you a parent? Does this resonate?

I love this mindset from Kevin Hart …

It’s easy to compare yourself against other people especially as they flood our screens with images. But when you compete against other people, you judge yourself based on their values and metrics. The problem with this is even if you win, you only do something that’s important to them, not you.

Life is a competition, but it’s not a race against anyone else. Rather, the real journey is only against yourself and unrealized potential.

That’s why I love this quote from Kevin Hart .

I’ve always loved the famous adage, “If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

I’ve focused a lot on this in my own journey. I focus on my own growth and worry about compounding my own interest; not everybody else’s. I feel like that’s helped me so much these last 15 years.

Don’t look over the fence.

Rather than competing against the next person, you can chase your future self. Matthew McConaughey chases his ideal self, ten years in the future. He says, “Every day, every week, every month, and every year of my life, my hero is always 10 years away. I’m never going to beat my hero. I’m not gonna attain that. I know I’m not! That’s just fine with me, because it keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.”

The most important part of competing against yourself is the ability to set your own values and metrics. You choose the goals that fit you best, and what you really want to compete on — and what you don’t.

And, yeah, sometimes you lose. You might do worse than you did before. Some days, it’s just enough not to take a step backward. And others, when you least expect it, you bound forward.

Either way, when you compete with yourself, you won’t be lured into other people’s competition and their values. Move forward but only evaluate yourself based on meaningful things. Smile, nod, and then forget it when other people try to entice you into competing. Only you can decide what really matters to you.
