ENT 87: Stop Trying to Own Success and Start Paying the Rent

Everyday, remind yourself that you are amazing, but you still have a long way to go. Know that there is always someone better than you and that person is yourself. Always compare you to you and only you. This will keep you humble.

I constantly am comparing myself to myself. I have a gratitude journal that I read each day and I write down how I could have done better than I did yesterday.

You can always improve something. Don’t think you are too good or you can be complacent because you have been successful in the past.


ACTION STEPS – “Success is never owned. It is only rented, and the rent is due every day.” Vaden says that to fully ingrain this principle. Simply replace the word success with whatever is important to you.
