  • Blog #120 – Life on Repeat

    I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

    Bruce Lee

    The more you repeat something the more confident you will be in the end result. The more you repeat something the more you will make it your own. Your personality will start to come out and eventually it will be uniquely yours. You will create versions that will only be linked to you. Your influences are uniquely your own and it will create your unique style. The hard part is to repeat and repeat and repeat the same process without giving up. It feels like it’s the same thing over and over again but if you compare two versions closely there are slight variations that make each unique. You will find out what you like and what you don’t like only through trail and error. Once you find ways you like you keep doing that and improve upon it. Keep grinding!

  • Blog #119 – You have to really really BELIEVE!

    To make your dreams come true you have to believe with all your heart that you can do it.

    You have to believe the action you take makes a difference.

    This life is a fantasy that whatever you dream can happen if you work hard. The only thing that is stopping you is yourself.

    The more you believe, the more action you will take. The more action you take, the more results you will get. The more results you get, the more you will believe. This is a positive feedback loop that will get you the results you want. BELIEF, ACTION, RESULTS.

  • Blog #118 – Pour some out for the homies

    Keep giving more than you receive. Be generous without being timid.

    Failure is inevitable but you will learn from failure. You will be better off after because you will have learned. This can be from your own failures and other people’s.

    What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

    Pay respect to those who have come before you and learn from their history. Listen to their lessons and improve from them. Let their experience give you confidence in yourself.

  • Blog #117 – Everything is going to change

    Things slowly evolve over time so slow that you can’t even feel or notice it. It feels like everything is always the same. There is a point when you wake up and everything has changed and all your dreams have come true. What are your biggest dreams you want to become true? Why is this dream the biggest? What is the smallest step that will make the biggest difference in helping yourself make this become true?

    Take that step and continue walking down this path. Give yourself trust because you are on the right journey. Embrace small changes because this will bring joy to the process. Keep your head up because mistakes are going to happen. You are closer now than ever before. Never give up!

  • Blog #116 – Is there free will?

    From the first moment you wake up and feel conscious there are thoughts that flood your head. There is also an infinite amount of thoughts that do not flood your mind.

    How do you chose what thoughts to think and where do these thoughts come from?

    These thoughts and ideas randomly come flowing to mind. They could be based off past experiences or current conditions. Wherever these thoughts come from doesn’t matter. They are just there. There is no conscious choice on what comes to mind. It just comes to mind.

    With this in mind then are decisions are based off thoughts we do not have control over.

    If we do not have control over our thoughts then we also have no control over our actions. We cannot act on something we don’t think of so we are locked in actions we do think of. Is this free will?

    Do you like coffee or tea? Why do you prefer one over the other? Where does this preference comes from?

    You are who you are. You like what you like. You have certain traits that make up your personality.


  • Blog #115 – Do you have ASSiduity?

    Most people don’t have it.

    Assiduity is the skill of sitting on your ass until you solve the problem at hand.

    Most people will get restless or bored with a difficult problem. Their mind will become distracted and they will focus on something else.

    The art of sitting in silence with nothing but your mind and a blank canvas is intimidating. You may become discouraged, frustrated, stumped, or helpless. There will always be some form of resistance and you must face it down. You will never face it down unless it’s a problem worth solving.

    You must sit with the discomfort and finish what you started.

  • Blog #114 – This is Fun!

    How can you make something you do not want to do as fun as possible?

    There are always things that do not sound like fun but must get done. Work can be tedious. Work can be monotonous. Work can be boring. Work can be lonely. Work can be stressful. Work can be all these negative things but it has to get done no matter what.

    The best way to do these things is to ask, “How can I make this as fun as possible?”

    Just asking the question will bring answers to your mind. Be open and try out one of the answers to see where it takes you.

  • Blog #113 – Challenge and Reward

    The best way to get things done is to reward yourself for getting them done. Treat yourself for a job well done. Make the reward conditional on getting the job done. “If I do this then I will get that!” Make sure it is something you really want so the work is worth the reward. The reward can be as simple as a soda or as big a trip somewhere. The most common and easiest to follow would be to stay focused for a certain amount of time and then take a small break. For example if you are writing then challenge yourself to write for 10 min and then take a 5 min break.
