Key Takeaways:


To make things happen, you have to start working on things to create the life that you want.


You don’t always have to listen to other people when they try to talk you out of a challenge. Sometimes you only have to listen to yourself and find your own dreams.


If what you can do helps other people, there’s more purpose to it.


Working on your mental toughness is essential when preparing for marathons.



Action Steps:


Give yourself a goal or a target, and then do it.


Know your purpose and your bigger WHY.


Keep a journal of what you’re going to do, but write them in the past tense. In this way, when you read it, you’re reinforcing to your subconscious that you’ve already done it.



Nikki said:
“Life throws things at you, and when things are thrown at you, you start thinking, ‘Maybe I can’t do this. Maybe I’m pushing just one step too far.’ But then I have to think again about why it is that I’d want to give it a go in the first place.”

“You have to work out what it is that you genuinely want. And if that means that you journal that lifestyle that you want, then eventually you will start making the decisions and the choices to implement the results that you want.”
