There's more.

Your calculations are not necessarily wrong.

It does take time to reach worthwhile goals.

But there’s more to your journey than time and effort.

Account for unexpected miracles along the way.

A good average.

You can’t expect to get it right one hundred percent of the time.

It just won't happen.

Occasionally you are going to be wrong, and that's fine.

To maintain a good average, you don’t have to be right every time.

#TheCubanGuy

Could you have been the cause?

It’s easy to assign blame to others or to circumstances.

Yet when you point the finger, you relinquish all of your power.

There’s always a degree of causation that lies with you.

Being the cause doesn’t make you wrong; it empowers you to make 

things right.

#TheCubanGuy

Fantasize about the future.

Thinking about what could go wrong won’t make things go right.

On the contrary, it makes it more likely for the undesirable to happen.

Your predominant thoughts are the building blocks of your reality.

Channel your thinking. Fantasize about what could go right.

#TheCubanGuy

Go for the memories.

At the end, all of the objects you have collected will have very little meaning.

Yet the meaning of your memories will never diminish.

You can't go wrong when you choose memories over things.

If you have a choice, go for more memories, not things.

#TheCubanGuy

Get others to listen.

If you want to influence others, don’t disagree with them.

Don’t tell them they’re wrong. Doing that will only make them defensive.

Validate their emotions. Acknowledge their feelings. Listen to them.

Perhaps then, they may listen to you.

#TheCubanGuy

High standards.

Set the standard for the way you want to be treated.

Make clear what you will tolerate and what you won’t.

If you don’t, you will attract the wrong kind of people.

The right kind of person will be encouraged, not discouraged, by high 

standards.

#TheCubanGuy

Motivate yourself.

Stop pointing out everything you are doing wrong.

You’re not advancing your situation when you do that.

Instead, recognize yourself at your best. Catch yourself doing something 

right.

That’s how you motivate yourself to do better.

#TheCubanGuy

Why take them again?

There’s no point in beating yourself up over where you’ve been.

Taking the wrong road once is an honest mistake. It can happen to anyone.

Taking the wrong road twice is not a mistake; it's a choice.

You already know some of the paths that lead nowhere. Why take them again?

#TheCubanGuy

Something you believe in.

When was the last time that you listened to yourself? When was the last

 time you followed your heart?

You may not always be right, but who is?

If you are going to be wrong, you may as well be wrong for what you believe 

in and feel strongly about.

It’s ok to be wrong, as long as you learn something from it. 

#TheCubanGuy

A sense of direction.

You will never be done with your list of goals and there's nothing wrong

 with that.

Your list of goals is always growing.

There will always be one more goal you need to accomplish, one more 

thing you need to do, see, or experience.

The objective of having goals is not just to accomplish more, but to give a 

sense of direction to your journey.

#TheCubanGuy

Do the work.

There’s nothing wrong with hoping. Being hopeful is a great starting point.

Yet hope is not enough.

You can’t just hope your way to your goals. At some point, you have to do

 something to bring your hopes about.

No amount of hope can ever replace doing the work.

#TheCubanGuy

Change the narrative.

You are the narrator of your story. Accentuate your victories, not your defeats.

There's nothing wrong with being the hero of your own story.

Draw attention to the times you were at your best and cease talking about

 the times you were at your worst.

You can't bring out the best in you by talking about the worst.

#TheCubanGuy

A good place to start

Yes, there are plenty of things that can go wrong, mistakes that can be 

made, and your timing may not always be right.

Yet for each thing that can go wrong, there are many that can go right.

Focusing on what can go right won’t necessarily fix everything, but it's 

definitely a good place to start.

And a good place to start may be just what you need.

#TheCubanGuy

Keep your eyes open

There’s plenty of good in your life; more good than bad, more right than

 wrong, more joy than sadness.

Your life isn't defined by one mistake, one bad experience, or one bad day.

There’s so much about you and what you do that’s worth celebrating.

Look beyond the rough spots.

#TheCubanGuy

Everything that's going right

It’s easy to forget everything that’s going right when something 

goes wrong.

Don’t let one difficulty overshadow everything that’s great in

 your life.

Take everything positive into account, everything that’s working,

 everything that’s going right, everything that's beautiful and nice.

When something goes wrong remind yourself of all the things that are going right.

#TheCubanGuy

Keep your head up

The solution is not to feel guilty for what went wrong, 

that will only make matters worse.

Keep your head up.

You cannot see what’s coming at you if you are looking

 down.

Use your new awareness. Try to do better next time.

#TheCubanGuy

Get over it

Don’t allow the fear of getting it wrong get in your 

way. You don’t have to get it right all the time.

Getting things wrong is part of the process.

What you learn when things go wrong helps you see 

what needs to be done differently next time.

To get it right, you must get over the fear of getting it

 wrong. 

#TheCubanGuy

Right or in love?

A loving relationship is worth a lot more than giving

 your ego another righteous moment.

Your ego doesn’t have to be right all the time.

Making someone you love wrong so that you can be right 

will cost you more than you will ever know.

Being in love is a much better feeling than being right.
