    Blog #192 – Surround Yourself with Greatness and you will become Great

    You will absorb the qualities of the people around you so make sure the people around you have outstanding qualities that you want. Carefully analyze qualities you want in yourself. If you want to be more social, courageous, athletic, wealthy, healthy, or loving. Look for these qualities in others. Look at what they are doing and try to copy them and develop these qualities yourself. Look at what they are doing that you don’t like and avoid doing those things.

    Seek and you shall find.

    What are you looking for?

    If you start looking for greatness you will find it. If you look for sadness you will find it. If you look for to better yourself then you will find ways.

    Blog #191 – What’s the probability of that actually happening?

    Be optimistic about your end game but be realistic about your life.

    Optimism will drive you to achieve great things and take giant risks. Optimism will take you on great adventures and you will do things you have always wanted to do. Optimism gives you permission to have enormous goals and vision for your life. Optimism lets us see the good and the potential in people. The world would be a depressing pessimistic place without optimism.

    The downside of optimism is that it will blind you to the risks. It will cause you to take giant chances that you shouldn’t be taking. Optimism will make you take enormous loses that are hard to recover from. You have to use realism and pessimism to mitigate your risk. How likely are you to succeed? How likely are you to lose? You must be completely comfortable if either one of these situations happen. Don’t be naive to the negative.

    Knowing you are protecting your downside allows you take bigger risks. It is a fine balance you must walk because if you are always preparing for your downside then you will not take massive action for a huge upside.

  • Blog #190 – The Dichotomy of Working a Job you Hate

    Blog #190 – The Dichotomy of Working a Job you Hate

    Avoid the dichotomy of doing what you hate so you can do what you love in your free time. This does not make any sense to stay in a job you do not like so you can have a weekend off or take 1 vacation a year. The only reason this makes sense is to sacrifice a few years if the money is fantastic. The problem is then people do not know how to get there money right and develop a plan to transition into another career. Their lifestyle increases to the amount of money they are making and they can’t change without it being extremely painful. This causes people to get stuck because they don’t know any better and they are not working on any other skills than the ones currently paying the bills. They are caught on the hamster wheel with no way off.

    The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.

  • Blog #189 – How to Guarantee a Good Life

    Blog #189 – How to Guarantee a Good Life

    People are mandated to goto elementary school, middle school and high school. No one is mandated to go to self school. By self school I mean learning about your self. Learning about how your mind and body operate. Practicing to work with your own personal uniqueness. Figuring out what your one of a kind strengths and weaknesses are. If you want to be successful then you have to know your self.

    You have to know what positions you thrive in and what you should avoid. If things are not going well for you then you do not know yourself enough. Take the time to ask yourself what it is you really want to accomplish. Know what your calling is and have a simple well defined one sentence purpose.

    Mine is “Entertain and inspire people to achieve their full potential.”

    Create a vision so compelling you are eager to get up and tap dance to work.

    Blog #188 – Do nice guys finish last?

    Life rewards the actions that you take.

    You get what the market thinks you deserve not what you think you deserve.

    There is no time for doubts and fears.

    The action you take will cause the results you get.

    Know what you want and take the right action to get it.

    Learn from people who have done it before.

    Don’t regret the actions you never took.

    Blog #187 – Integrate your Lifestyle

    To have the life you want you must integrate your lifestyle with all the things that you want out of life.

    Your lifestyle must support your growth in all areas of life you want to grow in. You also must eliminate the things you are doing that does not support your growth.

    If you work in an office and know you can’t leave the office then how can you integrate things in the environment you are in? For example to integrate health in an office environment you can sit on a pilates ball, take breaks, go for walks and eat a healthy lunch.

    An integrated lifestyle is a balanced lifestyle where all actions support other actions. There is a give and take but all actions should give. To know what to do you need to know what is important to you.

    The opposite of an integrated lifestyle is a compartmentalized lifestyle. This is where nothing is related and everything is independent.

    Blog #186 – Feeling Helpless?

    You may feel helpless because you are trained to be helpless.

    You have the power to change things in your life that you do not like. If you do not like your job then change it. If you do not like your body then change it. If you do not like how you feel then change it. If you do not like who you are then change it. If you do not like what you are doing then change it. If you do not like your friends then change them. If you do not like the results you are getting then change it. If you do not like how you are treated then change how you respond.

    People are living a life they are given instead of going out and creating the life they want. Life does not give a damn about you so if you don’t like something then speak up. You are in control. You have the power so stop giving it away to other people. Be your own boss. Manage your own emotions. Control your own behavior. Don’t let people take away your happiness because of things they say and do.

    Take the path of least resistance. The path that causes you less pain and more happiness.

    The pain of success is less than the pain of regrets.

    Blog #185 – Rich Friends and Poor Friends

    Notice the patterns between your rich friends and the poor friends.

    Success leaves clues and if you are aware enough then you will be able to pick up on the clues and adopt these habits into your own life

    Practice humility and seek out people who are better than you. People that can help you improve in areas of your life you want to improve in. Learn from them about what makes them successful. If they are healthy then what do they do in the area of health. If they are wealthy then what do in the area of wealth. If they have a successful business then what do they do to make it successful. If they are great investors what is their criteria to make an investment.

    Notice you deficiencies or certain areas that you would like to change or improve and seek out the people who can help you.

    On the flip side notice the unsuccessful people. What do they do to make them unsuccessful? What habits and beliefs do they have? What actions do they do to hurt themselves?

    Know what not to do is just as important as knowing what to do.

    Blog #184 – Create a compelling vision for your future.

    What is it that you want more than anything else?

    What do you see yourself in possession of?

    Who do you see yourself becoming?

    How much money do you see yourself earning?

    You can have anything big or small.

    What drives you to get up in the morning?

    If you have a vision bigger than your current situation then how are you going to get there?

    Whether you know it or not you already have a vision of who you are and what you can become. You can either paint this vision yourself or allow others to paint it for you. You are in control of your own future.

    Imagine yourself living the life of your dreams. Where are you at? Who are you with? What are you doing?

    The more clear you become about your vision the easier it is to take massive action to get there. It may not be easy to obtain but your dreams are always worth working towards.
