The Advantages of Insight

When you take advantage instead of using advantage, simply because you do not see an advantage, you can ultimately lose advantage.

HUH?!! What does that mean? .....

Sometimes we simply lose focus on what is really important to us. At times we may have an opportunity arise - the opportunity to learn, to gain leverage, to come up on top that we, most of the time not meaning to, block ourselves or miss out on the "bigger picture" because we are looking down a mental one-way road we have created. We can miss an opportunity to grow being as though, at that moment, it has no monetary value or immediate gratification to it so it seems a waste of time; failing to realize this opportunity presented may be offering you a new experience you may need to get to where you want to be, a chance for you to showcase your talents, maybe even an opportunity for you to use your integrity, or providing a lesson to open your mind and exercise the chance to change your attitude or thought patterns. Be mindful and take all things into consideration. You never know what the decisions of today can bring tomorrow if you are still traveling down that one-way road of yesterday.

Your Identity Is A Gift

Too many times we often consider what others think of us. We get into robotic mentalities of our surroundings and just go with the flow of what is around us, sometimes unaware of the influence it actually has on us. Dare to be different, to be yourself. Think outside of the box and move to where your own passion guides you. There may be risks, it may seem unattainable... but it is there waiting for you to grasp it. Your individuality.

XLER8success - Who Are They?




Children in our society are exposed to a variety of things by the age of 12. Most of which are not good. Growing up today can be challenging at best. Most children start with little or no foundation for success. Most feel that, because of their circumstances, it is impossible to improve their socio-economic situation. Because of this, they feel discouraged and end up making poor decisions. In most cases, they don’t understand the importance of staying away from influences that might make their future even more challenging. “YOLO” has become their explanation or excuse to simply do what feels good. In their mind, nothing changes if they feel the pains of discipline, so why not see if they might be able to escape the pains of regret.

XLER8success.org is dedicated to not only changing this mentality and thought process, but also breaking the generational cycle in which many find themselves. Our volunteers and mentors use their personal experiences to teach first-hand what can happen when someone decides to make small decisions every day that, compounded over time, add up to and “XLER8” the success they truly desire.
