F FOR FERVOR “WHAT MAKES YOU COME ALIVE?”

FOCUS

F: FERVOR

DEFINED: AN INTENSE AND PASSIONATE FEELING.

WHAT COULD YOU WAKE UP EVERYDAY TO?

WHAT IS YOUR “WHY”

What causes that fire in your heart and soul?

That grows your impact and influence in ways that nothing else can?

Passion isn’t just about motivation.

It’s deeper than engagement.

High performers mix

FOCUS with PASSION

TO BELIEVE THAT YOU

CAN.To take risks and push forward

regardless of the odds and obstacles.

Mark Zuckerberg had to pour his heart into his work.

He started Facebook at 19 and is now worth $30 billion at 29.

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive, then go do that. Because what the

world needs is people who have come alive.” - Howard Thurman

O FOR OPTIMISM.“To make progress, we need to be able to imagine alternative realities, and not just any old reality but a better one.”

FOCUS

THE GREATEST CONFIDENCE BUILDER IS EXPERIENCE

Optimism starts with what may be the most extraordinary of human talents:

The way we expect the world to be changes the way we see it.

HARVARD STUDY: !

THERE ARE NO LIMITS. ONLY LIMITS YOU SET ON YOURSELF.

LIMITS ONLY EXIST IN YOUR HEAD

U FOR UNWAVERINGDo. Or do not. There is no try - Yoda

Young people today need to be unwavering in their pursuits in order to achieve the remarkable. Every time life knocks you

down, it is simply telling you to try again. !

Walt Disney: Fired from local newspaper because he lacked imagination andhad no good ideas.“If you can dream it, you can do it.”

Everything happens for a reason

Understand your brilliance and that they just don’t align with you
