    noiz viol8ion blog #823 – Today Is A Blessing

    Everyday is a blessing. Each day I wake up I am grateful to be alive. I have been blessed with many things that are out of my control.

    I have been blessed with incredibly good looks, Albert Einstein type intelligence, a wonderful family, a fully functional and abled body, to be born and live in the freest country in the world (USA), an abundance of wealth, a planet full of everything needed to keep me alive like oxygen, food and water, technology to make my life easier, infrastructure like running water, indoor plumbing, air conditioning, electricity, roads, hospitals, grocery stores, transportation vehicles and the internet to educate myself.

    I did nothing but be born into a world with all of the things I want and need. I am beyond blessed and grateful to be alive today.

    noiz viol8ion blog #436 – Recovering From Hardship

    Life is not always easy and I dare to say it’s never easy. Something is going to go wrong so be grateful everyday something doesn’t go wrong. It’s in these moments when things go wrong we see who people really are. When we get kicked to the curb, who gets up and who stays down. How fast can you recover from something? Staying down can make a bad situation much worse than to taking things as they come. Know that this is not your last hardship. Know that things can get worse. Know that life is hard. Know these things and also know to be grateful when things are going your way.

    noiz viol8ion blog #374 – Giving Thanks

    I thank you from the deepest part of my being for supporting me and reading this supporting me. I have been so blessed in this life and I want to share my blessing with the world around me. Everything does not go perfect or as I planned but I am grateful for everything. I am grateful for my family. I am grateful for my job. I am thankful for all the problems in my life because it gives me an opportunity to learn and grow. There is nothing in my life that I would change.

    Thank you for being a great reminder for me to keep going. Please leave a like and comment!

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    noiz viol8ion blog #344 – Are you starting your day like this?

    Start your day being grateful for everything and everyone in your life. Thank the world for all that it has done and hasn’t done for you. Ask to be of service in the best way possible. Ask to be a good tool and how to sharpen. Ask how to improve. Ask for strength. Surrender yourself to the greater good.

    Everyone is going through struggles so use this day to help someone.

    noiz viol8ion blog #339 – $2.00 a day

    Over half the people of the world live on $2.00. Can you imagine how different your life would be if this was your budget? What would you have to cut out? How would what you eat be different? What would prioritize your spending on?

    Many people will spend $2.00 like it is nothing. While for the other group that means fresh food or clean water or new clothes or a trip to see loved ones. It means that they can’t go get the necessities of life that many of us take advantage of everyday. Like having well paying jobs, health insurance, a nice place to live in.

    Many people cannot get by without the help of their neighbors. This is why if you are blessed then you should give back to this world that has blessed you.

    noiz viol8ion blog #331 – The Person you have to become

    Be grateful for where you are now and all of the things you have had to overcome to get to where you are. You have been challenged. You have had failures. These are not important. What is important is how you have reacted to these adversities. What you have learned and the person you have become. You are you because of everything you have been through.

    Be grateful for being you because there is countless people who would love to be in the position that you are in. People would go great lengths to live the life you are living. If you want to progress further and go high then you must change. You have already acknowledged the change you had to go through to get to where you are. The next thing is to acknowledge the change you still need to go through to become the person you want to become. You must become the person who earns the things you want.

    noiz viol8ion blog #304 – Comfort in Uncomfort

    I did a three day fast and it taught me a lot about myself and about life in general. The biggest lesson I learned is to be grateful. I am privileged and honored to live in the USA where our culture and society is so advanced that I do not need to worry about my basic necessities. On a daily basis I take for granted that we have running water, grocery stores, housing, farmers and easy access to any food I want. While others do, I do not have to worry about when my next meal is. I can go into the kitchen and get a clean and cold glass of water. The fast gave me a perspective about how I and other people live. The fast also taught me how powerful the mind and body are. Your body has urges and feelings but you can overcome them with your mind. You are in control of your life and if you take full responsibility of what you put in your body and what you feed your mind then you can control your destiny.

    Blog #279 – Learn it by Teaching it

    Entrepreneur and businessman Tai Lopez says that you should use the 1/3 rule to allocate your time.

    1. Spend 1/3 of your time with people ahead of you.
    2. 1/3 of your time with people who are equal to you.
    3. And 1/3 of your time with people behind you.

    Always be reaching for the next level and paying what you know forward. There will always be someone better than you so surround yourself with these people. Even though there are people better than you someone wants to be where you are at so be grateful for what you have. Teach people and pass down what you have learned. Learn the perspective of each person and you will become more valuable.

  • Blog #238 – You are your problems

    Below is Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs. The bottom layer is Food, Water, Air. The next layer is housing and a place to live. The next is sex and a relationship. The next is confidence and the ability perform. The last need is to fulfill your dreams and set goals.

    How many of your needs are met? Where are you on this hierarchy?

    If you have any of these needs met you should count your blessings and be grateful for what you have.

    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.
