  • Blog # 61 – Enjoy life like there’s no tomorrow.

    Find as many opportunities as you can to enjoy yourself and the people around you. The daily routine can be monotonous and we must inject moments of joy into the day. Enjoy the day by knowing what makes you happy and then do it. Really enjoy these moments that you give yourself.

  • Blog #60 – Don’t blink or you’ll miss this chance.

    The passage of time can be your best friend or your worst enemy.

    A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted upon by an external force

    Isaac Newton

    All those items on your todo list. All those thing you should do. All the things you want to do but don’t have time. All of these things are remaining at rest because they are not acted up.

    This is why if something is important to you then even the smallest progress is better than nothing. You are either getting better or worse. You are either progressing towards something or you are not. Time is your friend. Keep good things in motion and bad things at rest.

  • Blog # 59 – The First Step to Anything

    More than anything you have to believe in yourself.

    You have to have the belief and attitude you will do whatever it takes to make it happen. The obstacles do not matter because you have made the decision that whatever resistance happens you will overcome it. You have the perseverance, confidence and intelligence to solve any problem.

    Even when you do something stupid and it is your fault you do not beat yourself up. You know you will learn from the mistake and do better next time. You have complete belief in yourself.

  • Blog #58 – This will take you through the hard times.

    Perseverance will take you further thank you though you could go. When you think you can’t go any further remember why you started in the first place. Why did you take that first step? Why did you want to do this to begin with?

    Tap back into that beginner you. Tap back into those initial motivations. There are always challenges that will make you question what you are doing. There are always opportunity costs for what you are doing but do not doubt yourself. Know yourself and what you need to do.

    Do not let the failure discourage you because all it takes is one big moment. You are not defined by your failures unless you let them define you. Nobody remembers the loses except you. Keep your head up. Stay motivated and have perseverance.

  • Blog #57 – How much you know means nothing. This is what really matters to influence people.

    Show them how much you care.

    When someone does something for you, let them know how much it means to you. Show them you are grateful and their deed did not go unnoticed.

    Good behavior must be rewarded if you want it to continue. Do not expect things out of people but appreciate it when someone does something for you.

  • Blog #56 – Family Bonds

    I know I am blessed to have a great family. They love and support me unconditionally. It is important to recognize this and also show them the same love and support.

  • Blog #55 – Follow Your Passion

    Everyone says this and I know why. Because it is easy to say.

    Follow your passion and you will never work a day in your life.

    This is easier said than done. Because by following you passion you have to work harder than everyone else. The world is competitive and more than likely there are tons of people with the same passion as you. If this passion is replacing your job then you have to be better than everyone else. Not to say that everything is a competition but business is.

    Your passion must be unique to you. What makes you different from everyone else?

  • Blog #54 – How to Change it Up

    Too much of anything is not good for you. Not enough of something is bad for you.

    We are all creatures of habit. We do the things that we do and stick to it. We wake up and goto work at the same time. We take the same route to work. We do the same things at work and get off at the same time. We come home the same way and watch the same shows. We will eat the same thing at the same restaurants.

    When we do this it saves us from having to think. We made a decision previously for what the best thing to do is. Very Rarely do we go back and question these decisions unless we are forced to.

    Staying in the same patterns will always get you the same results. If you are perfectly content then keep doing what you are doing. If you are not then it is time to change it up. Start small by changing your alarm clock by a minute or two. Change what side of you mouth you start brushing your teeth.

  • Blog #53 – The Edge of Competence

    Growth happens when you are over your head. The moment when you have no other choice but to step up. The pressure is on. The lights are shining in your face. There is no safety net.

    More than likely you are going to fail and that is why this zone is beyond our comfort zone. We are taking a huge risk because we are doing something that we have never done before. It may feel like fear that is bubbling up within us but it is excitement, adrenaline and courage.

    You are becoming a master of your craft. This is all part of the process. The progression to becoming a master is full of challenges and eventually you are the one who is responsible. These moments of expansion come to test you to see where you are at. If you fail then your moment will come again and you will have to be ready for it. And the moment will keep coming until you take advantage of it.

    These are opportunities to shine. These are opportunities to show how far you have come. If you keep taking advantage of these moments then they will get easier and eventually you will be able to move mountains.

  • Blog #52 – The You You Are Becoming

    The only person that matter is the person you are becoming. Your actions and your habits are creating your future self. If you eat donuts everyday you are becoming fatter. If you are running everyday you are becoming a better runner.

    What do you want to be when you grow up? Who do you want to be?

    Do not let other people define who you are. Going through school and being around a lot of people they want to put labels on you for who you are. Schools limit your creativity because you have to fit into their mold of who a smart, normal student is. If you’re not good at those things then you are cast out of the system and labeled a failure.

    It doesn’t matter what anyone else labels you. It only matters how you see yourself.
