    Blog #172 – Forget Everything And Run

    Fear is an emotion.

    Definition of emotion

    as strong feeling usually directed toward a specific object and typically accompanied by physiological and behavioral changes in the body

    Webster Dictionary

    There is an uncontrollable reaction in our mind and body to fear. Fear will make us do things that we would not normally do. Fear makes us think things we would not normally think.

    Do not let the throughts of fear paralyze you.

    Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself

    Franklin D. Roosevelt

    Most of what people worry about never happens so why do we worry so much. We worry because it is uncontrollable. Fear bubbles up out of no where and infects our minds. The demons and nightmares in our minds become a reality because we can feel the pain. The mind makes these fears real through our emotions, physiology and behavior. The fear is there so we must acknowledge it. We must see the fear and live with the fear. We must have the strength and courage to be in that uncomfortable place and still take action. Take action in spite of the fear. When our mind is telling us NO! We still move forward because we know that is the right thing to do. Eventually the fear becomes an excitement. We still feel the fear but it does not stop us or paralyze us. The fear encourages us that we are on the right path.

    Now FEAR becomes:

    Blog #171 – Upstream or Downstream?

    Stop trying to paddle upstream. People always say nothing in life is free, hard work pays off in the end, if you don’t work hard then nothing good will happen. You hear this so often that you think pain is the only way to make gains. You try to make things as hard as you can because if it is hard then it must be good. I f you push yourself to the breaking point then it must be worth it. You are paddling upstream and fighting an uphill battle. You are making things unnecessarily hard on yourself. Turn your boat around and go downstream.

    Going with the stream is a much more enjoyable experience. You are inline with your thoughts and feelings. You are in harmony with everything around you. The world and the universe is conspiring in your favor. Stop doubting, worrying and just accept. Things might not go exactly as you planned it and that is ok. Be grateful things are going. Enjoy the journey because that is all there is.

    Your standards are the things you must do and are uncompromisable. Your standards are the pillars of quality that you live by and what you base your decisions on. Your standards are health related. What are you going to eat? are you going to workout? You have standards in relationships. Who are you going to hang out with? How do you treat people?

    Have great ideas that will change the world and have the determination to execute no matter what. Find a way to get it done.

    Be in a constant state of learning and improving.

    See every challenge as a learning opportunity.

    Do not let your current state stop you from starting something new.

    Your ideas are too small. Think bigger. Dream bigger. Have ideas so big that they scare you.

    Blog #168 – Make each day your MASTERPIECE

    Everyday you start out with a blank canvas of 24 hours. You can paint stick figures or you can pain the Sistine Chapel. What you do is up to you. It does not matter what you skill level is. The only thing that matters is your vision and determination. How much effort are you willing to put in? If you put in stick figure effort you will get stick figure rewards. Are you truly putting your all into what you are doing or are you just trying to get things done?

    If you put in life change, bigger yourself, Sistine Chapel effort you will get a greater reward. The reward will not just be monetary but also spiritually. You will be proud of yourself on many different levels.

    The reward is not directly proportional to the amount of effort you give. The reward is in proportion to the amount of value you give.

    Everyone has the same 24 hrs in a day. No one has more hours in a day than you. The difference is how people use those hours.

    What is your intention for today?

    How are you going to be better today than you were yesterday?

    Feed you mind new inspirations and information. Remove the old information that does not serve you.

    7 Things to Do:

    1. Be true to yourself.
    2. Help others.
    3. Make each day your masterpiece.
    4. Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible.
    5. Make friendship a fine art.
    6. Build a shelter against a rainy day.
    7. Pray for guidance and count and give thanks for your blessings every day.

  • Blog #166 – Train you MIND

    Your quality of life depends on your mind. How you think, How you make decisions, How you react, how you solve problems.

    Your mindset puts a filter on everything you see, hear and feel. It can be cold and grey or bright and warm.

    You have the power to choose and create the life of your dreams. You must free your mind from the limiting beliefs that constrain yourself, whether it be fear, greed, jealousy, hatred, revenge, or superstition. Replace these with empowering beliefs like faith, courage, strength, love, enthusiasm, joy, beauty, calm, romance, and hope. Your mind makes better decisions in these positive states. Operating from these consistently you will have a naturally better quality of life.

    You must figure out how to flood your mind with these positive emotions. Figure out how to make these your natural states. Train your mind to return to these states.

    Surround yourself with a Mastermind Group.

    A mastermind alliance involves two or more people who work in perfect harmony for the attainment of a definite purpose.

    “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

    Jim Rohn

    Your mastermind group will spark new ideas, unleash creativity, drive you to work hard. You are reinforcing what is good in each other. You are covering up the weaknesses in others. You are a compliment towards each other. Your minds are like batteries the more you connect the power you will produce.

  • Blog #164 – 4 Stages of Learning

    When we are learning something new there are 4 stages we must go through.

    Stage 1 – Unconscious Incompetence – This stage means that you are completely oblivious to everything. You do not know what you do not know.

    Stage 2 – Conscious Incompetence – This stage brings in self awareness. Now you know what the skill or topic is that you want to learn. You also know that you know nothing.

    Stage 3 – Conscious Competence – This next stage happens after spending time practicing and studying. You now know the ins and outs but you have to spend time thinking about it.

    Stage 4 – Unconscious Competence – This is the last stage of learning. This is complete mastery of a subject. You know how to do something so well that it is second nature. It takes no extra effort and you can “do it while you sleep.” Imagine being Kobe playing basketball.

  • Blog #163 – Be PERSISTENT as a baby

    If you wish to do anything that hasn’t been done then you need PERSISTANCE.

    PERSISTANCE can look like stubborness or hard headedness.

    Everyone has persistence for achieving something they really want. A great example of this is when we were babies. When we were born we didn’t know how to walk or talk. It is second nature now for most people but it was not always this way. At one point you could not do either one of these skills. You went through the struggles of learning these things. You demonstrated persistence with the encouragement of your parents or teachers.

    Know that you have learned and grown before. Know that you have it in you to do amazing things that you have never done before.
