"Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day." — Jim Rohn

 

 

Let us not fear the future!

Do not fear the future. Do not fear change—so long as it is change for the better. In my life and the life of my family, many changes have occurred and are still occurring. These changes were the result of several successive critical situations over which we had no control, nor were they of our own making. That’s just life—it tests us. And from these tests come experiences on which we must build.

The Bible often reminds us not to be afraid, to place our trust in God, but also in ourselves:

Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Acknowledge Him in all your ways, and He will make your paths straight."

 

There are things and situations beyond our control that will happen regardless. Let’s not overanalyze them. They happened—period. That is why we should not be afraid. Do not let fear of the unknown take hold. Do not fear challenges. Quite the opposite—they shape us. Even through failures (even better!) or temporary setbacks (even better still!).

However, as in life, there are certain principles to this kind of resilience and unwavering determination:

• Set goals wisely—your goal cannot be a flight to Saturn, which is simply unattainable. It cannot be something like: "I will do drugs for five years" or "I will rest every day before and after lunch."
  A smart goal: "I will achieve a managerial position in my new job by 2030."
• Pursue your goal every day with the HMF method and the 1% improvement rule. Be relentless. Be unbreakable. EVERY SINGLE DAY.
• Ignore failures you cannot control.
• Give it your all. 100% effort on the road to your chosen goal.

And lastly: don’t spread yourself too thin. Move toward your goal by achieving smaller milestones that lead to the main objective.

A practical example of applying these principles through my HMF method, outlined here: Game Rules, and the 1% daily rule, detailed here: 1% Growth Rule.

In my system, we define goals: daily, short-term, medium-term, long-term, and the ultimate goal.
Here’s an example of striving toward a goal, as presented earlier:

1. Improve my performance at work by 1% daily.
2. Wake up at 5 AM every day and go to bed at 7 PM. Develop a habit.
3. Get ahead of others (arrive at work by 7 AM before everyone else, already a step ahead when they begin their day).
4. Reach a new career level by 2026.
5. Attain a managerial position.

That’s it. Strength lies in simplicity. Move forward, but not at the expense of others. Achieve your goals through hard, unyielding work. Do not fear situations that will inevitably arise and that you cannot control. If you diligently and patiently follow through on your plans, you will be rewarded. There is no other way. Action always leads to results—even if the road is bumpy, you will reach your destination.

This is how the world works. Be the best version of yourself and a guiding light for others.

A Little Bonus – Who is the Guy Behind the Morning Quote?

Who is this Dan Peña?

Dan Peña, known as the "Trillion Dollar Man," is an American entrepreneur, mentor, and motivational speaker who built his fortune primarily in the oil and gas industry. Born on August 10, 1945, in Jacksonville, Florida, he grew up in East Los Angeles. After earning a degree in business administration from San Fernando Valley State College, he started his career as a financial analyst on Wall Street.

In 1982, he founded Great Western Resources, Inc., specializing in oil and gas exploration and production. In 1984, he purchased Guthrie Castle in Scotland, which became both his residence and a training center for his business seminars. Peña is the creator of the Quantum Leap Advantage (QLA) methodology, designed to help entrepreneurs achieve massive success.

He built everything starting with the same resources as any of us. He was relentless, pursued his goals, and never feared the future. He even spends 125% of his earnings just to keep himself under constant pressure—not fear, but a slight discomfort—that fuels his drive for action. That says everything about him. He doesn’t hesitate, doesn’t fear. He is tough and moves straight toward his target.

Be like Dan. Be tough!

Conclusion

 

To sum up, success is never accidental. It is the result of consistent effort, unyielding determination, and the ability to overcome difficulties. The key to progress lies in seeing opportunities where others see only obstacles.

Any change—even one forced upon us by circumstances—can be a turning point, but only if we embrace it instead of resisting it.

No matter how big the challenges are on our path, what truly matters is whether we have the courage to face them and the resilience to push forward, learning from our experiences. Character is forged through adversity, and patient, systematic effort leads to real results.

Each day is a new opportunity for growth, and each challenge is a potential step forward. There’s no point wasting energy dwelling on the past. The key is flexibility and the ability to adapt to an ever-changing reality—without losing sight of long-term goals.

So remember: progress often comes disguised as trouble. Only those who recognize this and rise to the challenge will achieve true success. Act with awareness, commitment, and courage.

Do not be a passive observer of the world—shape it on your own terms.
