Introduction: So, You Want To Be A Badass?

Excelling is optional. And so is the opposite. The path of least resistance is the path most people decide to follow. Why wouldn’t that be the case? Naturally, we are lazy creatures. We’re wired to conserve energy—both by expending less (moving less) and storing more (fat on your body)—so that we don’t starve to death if we can’t get more food. These were critical adaptations that were made over the course of our existence as humans that kept us alive during harsh periods of existence.

Fortunately, for most of us today, we don’t have to worry about how or when we’ll get our next meal—food is, for the most part, readily available. Unfortunately, this wiring is still prominent and leads most of us to do far less than we’re capable of doing. If we want to excel in doing anything, we have to overcome our natural tendencies to be lazy and comfortable and we have to consciously decide, not just once, but over and over again to do more work than is necessary for survival.  Sounds exhausting right?

This is why excelling is so hard.

Let’s take a look at what it means to decide. When a decision is made it means a formal conclusion has been drawn after consideration. Many of us see the end product of a person who has excelled and decide that we want what they have too. We see people who are in amazing shape, have achieved financial freedom, or have reached a certain level of status or position that we admire and after considering whether or not we might want that, of course, we decide we do. It’s a no-brainer.

What many of us don’t take into consideration when thinking about the end goals we decide we want, are the hundreds, thousands, even (dare I say) millions of decisions that have to be made in order to actually realize that end goal.

…Prove It.

Deciding that you want what other people who excel have is easy. Making the decision to overcome your natural tendencies, even once, is hard. Following through on your decision over the long run and actually overcoming your natural tendencies over and over and over again is extraordinarily hard. But that’s what it means to excel—to be extraordinarily good at, in this case, following through, overcoming your natural tendencies, completing difficult series of tasks, etc. By definition, excelling is reserved for the few who are willing to do more than the rest.

So let’s be clear, excelling is not something that is going to happen to you by chance. Nobody is going to call you up and offer you financial freedom. You’re not going to randomly get picked to be the next big social media influencer.  You’re not going to be looked at as extraordinary until you become extraordinary. And the only people who ever become extraordinary are the ones who have decided to become so.  And we’re not talking about a “wishy-washy” decision to become extraordinary because you want some end product that somebody else has—no. We’re talking about a firm decision to become extraordinary.

A firm commitment to the process and all that that commitment entails. A resolution to confront and overcome natural tendencies and resistances and to go beyond what is minimally required. Over and over and over again.  Every time you successful go above and beyond and handle tasks in extraordinary ways, you bring your resolution more and more to life.

Every failed attempt to go above and beyond and every decision to succumb to moods and emotions will bring you back down the path of normalcy. It’s the ones who can stick to that original decision, that commitment, that resolution the longest, who will win. This is an endurance game, not a sprint. So what do you think? Are you ready to commit?

Below, you will find our list of 16 Jen Sincero quotes from You Are A Badass. She writes in a way that is designed to fire you up and get you to realize the incredible power that you have laying dormant inside. The difference between those who excel—those who are Badasses—and those who don’t is that those who excel choose to do what they know is required over and over and over again, even when (especially when) they really don’t want to do it.

You can’t become a Badass with wishful thinking. You won’t become a Badass by hoping one day a Badass mentor shows up at your door. You’re not going to become a Badass until you decide for yourself that THAT is who you want to be—and you work your Badass ass off to make it a reality.

The List: 16 Powerful Jen Sincero Quotes from You Are A Badass

“One of the best things you can do to improve the world is to improve yourself.”

Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

“You’ve gotten to where you are right now by doing whatever it is you’re doing, so if you’re less than impressed with your current situation, you clearly need to change things up.”

Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

“When we get so wrapped up in our heads, we miss out on what’s available to us right now in the moment.  Stop and notice how you feel right now.  Feel your breath moving in and out of your body.  Feel the air on your skin.  Feel your heart beating.  Your eyes seeing.  Your ears hearing.  Notice the energy inside and outside of you buzzing.  Shut off your thoughts and feel your connection to Source.  B-r-e-a-t-h-e.  Even if you’ve got bone-chilling credit card debts or you haven’t spoken to your mother in six years, right now, in this moment, you can find peace and joy in that which simply is.”

Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

“You cut yourself off from the supply of awesomeness when you are not in a state of gratitude.”

Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

“It never ceases to amaze me the precious time we spend chasing the squirrels around our brains, playing out our dramas, worrying about unwanted facial hair, seeking adoration, justifying our actions, complaining about slow Internet connections, dissecting the lives of idiots, when we are sitting in the middle of a full-blown miracle that is happening right here, right now.”

Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

“You are perfect.  To think anything less is as pointless as a river thinking that it’s got too many curves or that it moves too slowly or that its rapids are too rapid.  Says who?  You’re on a journey with no defined beginning, middle or end.  There are no wrong twists and turns.  There is just being.  And your job is to be as you as you can be.  This is why you’re here.  To shy away from who you truly are would leave the world you-less.  You are the only you there is and ever will be.  I repeat, you are the only you there is and ever will be.  Do not deny the world its one and only chance to bask in  your brilliance.”

Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

“Wallowing in the pain and suffering isn’t going to help anyone, yourself included, any more than starving yourself will help the hungry.  If you want to help the world and yourself, keep your frequency high and do your work from a place of power and joy.”

Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

“When you hang out with whiners, pessimists, tweakers, bleakers, freakers-outers and life-is-so-unfairers, it’s an uphill climb to keep yourself in a positive headspace.  Stay away from people with tiny minds and tiny thoughts and start hanging out with people who see limitless possibility as the reality.  Surround yourself with people who act on their big ideas, who take action on making positive change in the world and who see nothing as out of their reach.”

Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

“What you tell yourself on a daily basis is more powerful than you know.  Seemingly harmless jokes, over time, turn into seriously destructive beliefs.  Our thoughts become our words, our words become our beliefs, our beliefs become our actions, our actions become our habits, and our habits become our realities.  So if your favorite joke is that you couldn’t get a date if you demanded one at gunpoint, and you spend every Saturday night alone, perhaps you should come up with a new one-liner.”

Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

“What other people think about you has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them.”

Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

“When we’re forced to do something, suddenly the time is there.  Which means it’s there all the time, but we’ve just chosen to limit ourselves by believing that it isn’t.  Ever notice how if you’ve got six months to do something, it’ll take you six months to do it, but if you have a week, it’ll take you a week?  Once you understand that time, like the rest of your reality, is in your mind, you can make it work for you instead of being its slave.”

Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

“Most of the time we pretend we aren’t clear on what our calling is when what’s really going on is that we’re horrified to face it because it seems too big or too impossible to make a living at or completely out of the question for us.  But what if you had the audacity to leave your excuses and your shame about wanting to be huge and fabulous behind and really went for it full-on anyway?  What if you decided to do the most outrageous, most exciting thing you ever dared fantasize about, regardless of what anyone, including your terrified self, thought?  THAT would be living.”

Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

“When we share what we were brought here to give, we are in alignment with our highest, most powerful selves.”

Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

“Most answers reveal themselves through doing, not thinking.”

Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

“When we’re born, we have an instinctual understanding of some of the most important basics of life that includes, and goes way beyond, bending at our knees, instead of our lower backs, to pick a beer can up off the floor.  We’re born knowing how to trust our instincts, how to breathe deeply, how to eat only when we’re hungry, how to not care about what anyone thinks of our singing voices, dance moves, or hairdos, we know how to play, create, and love without holding back.  Then, as we grow and learn from the people around us, we replace many of these primal understandings with negative false beliefs, fear, shame, and self-doubt.  Then we wind up in emotional and physical pain.  Then we either numb our pain with drugs, sex, booze, TV, Cheetos, etc.  Or we settle for mediocrity.  OR we rise to the occasion, remember how truly mighty we are, and set out to relearn everything we knew at the beginning all over again.”

Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

“All life is either moving forward and evolving or shrinking back and dying.  If you want to evolve in your own life, you have to push through the obstacles instead of running from them.  Obstacles and challenges are the agents of growth.  Nobody gets to be large and in charge without facing challenges and moving through them.  Birth is messy, painful, scary, uncertain, and freaky.  Birth is also a glorious miracle that leads to new life.  If you want the new life you say you want, you have to do the work instead of just studying and discussing and wishing and wanting.”

Birthing your dreams is like… giving birth. An Excerpt:

Conceiving the idea is the fun part (hopefully), then you go through insane amounts of fear and excitement and dreaming and planning and vomiting and growing and thinking you’re crazy and thinking you’re awesome and stretching and shape shifting until you’re practically unrecognizable to everyone, even your own self.

Along the way you clean up your puke and massage your aching back and apologize to all the people whose heads you ripped of in a hormonal killing spree, but you stay the course because you know this baby of yours is going to be the bomb.

Then, finally, just when you can see a light at the end of the tunnel, labor starts.  Your innards twist and strangle and force you to stumble around hunched over in the shape of the letter “C” while you breathe and pray and curse and just when you think it can’t get any more out-of-your-mind painful, a giant baby head squeezes out of a tiny hole in your body.  Then.  A full-blown miracle appears.

In order to change your life and start living a new one that you’ve never lived before, your faith in miracles, and yourself, must be greater than your fear.  However easy or rough your birth process is, you have to be willing to fall down, get up, look stupid, cry, laugh, make a mess, clean it up and not stop until you get there.  No matter what.
