Be A Work In Progress is a great book of encouragement from WWE Superstar and entertainer John Cena. He preaches to each day be a little less perfect, and a little more brave. That is also a great summation of what insights the book offers.
-
Never outgrow being thankful.
-
Be brave enough to embrace humility. The reward will be confidence.
-
Don’t take someone else’s word on what you can accomplish.
-
Life is about the ride, not the vehicle you show up in.
-
Being inspired by others is a helpful way to find yourself. Wanting to be others is a helpful way to lose yourself.
-
Know the difference between those who care about you, and those who care about what you can do for them.
-
Control the controllable, the disorder of others is only your chaos if you make it so.
-
If you’re going to gamble- bet on yourself. Brave chances backed up with constant effort can lead to amazing things.
-
You are the sum of your actions, not your words.
-
A slow start is better than no start.
-
Failure is so much closer to success than not trying at all.
-
Lack of communication is often what causes people to drift apart, lack of forgiveness is often what causes people to stay apart.
-
The only person you need to prove yourself to is yourself.
That’s it. A few insights from the book: Be A Work In Progress by John Cena.
A great, quick read, with easy-to-consume illustrations and pages of quick notes.
If you want a book you can peruse while your friends are gaming in the background, or busy on-the-go… this is it.
He articulates simple thoughts on how to feel better, and be better.
