    Blog #183 – Sit down be HUMBLE

    Practice humility like you practice any other skill. Being humble keeps you from slipping. As soon as you think you do not need to do the things that got you where you are is when you start loosing and making mistakes. Being humble allows you to take criticism because you know who you are and you can make fun of yourself.

    Be humble enough to know that there is still more to learn. You are not at the end. You are still growing every single day. The world is your teacher and you are its student. Always be open and receptive to listen to what the world is trying to tell you.

    If you are real about what you want and are humble enough you will find things in unexpected places. You are not above anything.

    Be humble because there is always someone better than you. Learn from the competition, find mentors, read books, and practice everyday to get better.

    Put in the time to get better every single day.

    Blog #182 – Connect with Empathy

    Practicing empathy will make you a better person. As you practice empathy it will benefit you and help you develop a deeper connection with the other person or group.

    Definition of empathy

    the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner

    Merriam Webster

    Practicing empathy will give you a whole new perspective and understanding. You will be able to understand why people make the decisions they make. You will be able to understand how to help them where they are.

    There is no judgement when practicing empathy. There is only understanding. Until you completely understand where a person is coming from and what they have been through then you will never be able to help someone. You will also never be able to help someone if you stay down at their level. You must meet them where they are and then lift them up.

    Blog #180 – Infinite Abundance

    We live in a world of infinite abundance. All your desires and all of your fears are never ending. If you fill one desire then you will want the next one. If you conquer one fear then there will always be a next one.

    This world has unlimited number of pleasures.

    Your potential to achieve anything is limitless.

    The love I share has no bounds.

    The only thing holding you back from infinite abundance and your potential is limiting beliefs. You have the ultimate power to change these beliefs. If you are not satisfied with any area of your life then change it. It may not be easy and probably requires hard work but you have the power.

    Your most valuable asset is your network.

    It’s not what you know or who you know, but who knows you.

    Susan Roanne

    People know people. Everyone has played the Kevin Bacon game where everyone in the world is connected to Kevin Bacon in six degrees of separation. Who do you need to connect with? Each new person that knows you will exponentially increase the amount of resources and opportunities that are available to you. Leverage you network for what you need.

    Make yourself professional and pleasant to be around. Provide value to those close to you. Build a reputation for who you are. Be honest and open with people so they can help you. The more people know about you the more they can connect with you.

    Blog #178 – Go, Go, Go, STOP and REFLECT

    Take the time to review where you are at. Look at how far you have come. Feel the progress from where you are now and where you were.

    What have you accomplished that you didn’t even think was possible?

    What are some of the major lessons you have taken away from the hardships you have been through?

    What are you most proud of?

    What are you least proud of?

    Reflect back on your life and use it as an ultimate learning experience for where you are going. Where are you going?

    What do you want to do and accomplish?

    What are you working towards? Have you made progress? Why? Why not?

    Out of all the things you could do what would be the one next step that would make the biggest difference towards reaching your ultimate goals

    Look forward to where you want to be and you will find a way to get there. Focus on what you want. What do you want? Why do you want this?

    This why is your driving force. The bigger the WHY the more motivation and determination you will have to accomplish you goals. Goals change over time so you have to STOP and REFLECT.

  • Blog #177 – The two reason WHY you do ANYTHING.

    Blog #177 – The two reason WHY you do ANYTHING.

    Every decision you make is based off of these two rationals.

    1. To Avoid Pain
    2. To Gain Pleasure

    Simple.

    Once you know this is how you operate then you can use it to your advantage or it’s going to use you.

    If an overweight person doesn’t diet or exercise they associate massive amounts of pain to the decision to work out or diet. They will go through a litany of excuses about why they can’t or it doesn’t work for them. They will also associate massive amounts of pleasure to the unhealthy foods they eat and the lazy activities they perform.

    On the flip side if a fit person doesn’t diet or exercise they associate massive amount of pain to the decision not to go work out or diet. They associate massive amounts of pleasure to working out and the feeling they will get from eating right.

    To get over the hump on any decision you must enhance the amount of pain it’s going to cause and enhance the amount of pleasure you are going to gain.

    Blog #176 – The Power in Positive Thinking!

    Take control of what you ingest in your mind.

    Be careful about who you hangout with because even your friends can poison you without knowing it.

    Negative thinking can bring you down. This kind of thinking leads you down to a dead end path that goes no where or goes somewhere that no one wants to go. Where your thoughts are control your focus. If you are thinking negatively then you are going to see the negative in every situation.

    Even in the worst possible situations you can think about what good will come out of it.

    Do not make things harder on yourself than they have to be. See the world as conspiring in your favor.

  • Blog#174 – “Who are you?”

    Blog#174 – “Who are you?”

    You know better than anyone else who you are. You are always right when answering this question because your body and mind will make yourself right. If you say you are a procrastinator then you will procrastinate. If you say you are successful then you will succeed. If you say you are a loser you will find a way to lose.

    People will always make themselves right. Whether you have empowering or disempowering beliefs about who you are, you are always right. If you change these foundations about who you are your life will change with it.

    You are not a subject of your circumstances or your emotions but a choice you can make about who you are. You are not your past. You are not fixed as your current self and your future self has yet to be determined.

    You must decide on who you want to become.

  • Blog #173 – Unconditional LOVE

    Blog #173 – Unconditional LOVE

    Who do you show unconditional love to?

    Who shows unconditional love to you?

    These are the real people in your life. The conversations with these people are unlike any other that you would have. The thing is people show love in many different ways. Some people show love by giving people gifts. Some people show love by showering people with compliments. Some people show love by worrying endlessly about the other person. Some people show love by the way the touch the other person. Some people show love by being brutaly honest with people. Some of these ways to show love can be misconstrued by the other person. This is misunderstood because we often forget the first step. The first step is to let them know how much we care about them. If we are on the receiving end of this tough love then we must assume how much the other person cares.

    People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.
