Core values serve as a lighthouse when the fog of life seems to leave you wandering in circles; when you encounter that moment where every decision is a tough one and no choice seems to clearly be the better choice.

You will become a lighthouse of personal growth and power, and by your example and leadership, you will prevent many a worthy man from crashing his life upon the rocks of mediocrity.

If you donβt take the time to set your lighthouse and focus on who you want to be and what you want to accomplish, the lack of results will leave you unsatisfied. You have to be willing to come up with goals beyond anything you feel comfortable with and start driving forward to a future that might seem impossible right now.

Your life is now a train moving swiftly down the tracks you are laying, but most of the time, you are moving too fast and barely putting down tracks in front of you. The reality that must be faced is that you will never arrive at your desired destination if you donβt set your long-term goals, plan your required outcomes, and define the station for your train to reach. I call this setting your lighthouse, the guiding light you need in your life to connect all the elements Iβve discussed and set long-term goals you can spend every day chasing after and moving the needle toward

Your future should be more than just proving others wrong. Your why and your lighthouse must be specific to you and developed from your life, your situation, your deep-rooted hunger, your past, your pain, your fears, and who you are built to be.

The suck you are charging away from needs to stay behind you, and fully grasping your driving forces will make sure you are charging forward, dedicated to your lighthouse.

There is no shortcut to defining your suck and your lighthouse, and there are going to be moments when you want to shut down and crawl back into the comfort zone that will become your suck.

Your lighthouse should not be achievable in your current moment or based on your current knowledge or capabilities. It must be based upon the potential that is reachable only through developing your best skills and abilities. Think about how much more you will be able to accomplish as you compound your growth and work through the process of bettering yourself.

There have been many times when Iβve put energy and effort in the wrong direction. I had to adjust my focus and realize it was nothing but a distraction derailing me from progressing toward my lighthouse.

The competition in your life must be between the prior version of you and the current version of you. You have to focus on your lighthouse, your goals, and the greatest version of you that youβre driving toward.

The decision to run from your suck is the easy partβstaying focused on your lighthouse and putting in the daily grind to suck less and do better is where those who will succeed and those who accept failure will part ways.

The same is true for you. You need to take inventory of who you are, what youβre built for, and what youβre chasing after. You have to look at your life and connect with your failures and shortcomings and the fact that you are built to reach greatness. Stop running in the wrong direction and take the time to be honest with yourself about where you are in life and whether your current path will lead you to your lighthouse.
