  • Blog #123 – Every little thing is going to be alright

    Don’t worry about a thing,

    ‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right.

    Bob Marley

    Most of the things you worry about never end up happening. You are causing undue stress on your mind and wasting time that you could be doing something productive. Instead remember the “Serenity Prayer”, enjoy yourself, have fun and be free. Do not let worries and fears paralyze you from taking action. Take action and see what happens. Use this as feedback to change and adjust your approach. Do the best you can in every situation and be open to change. Everything does not have to go exactly as planned to be a success. It is often the things that are unplanned that are the best and most memorable. Go full steam ahead and do not overthink things. If things do not work then learn and move on.

  • Blog #121 – What makes you Happy?

    Do what makes you happy and keep doing it. Happiness is an art so if you find something that makes you happy then keep doing it. Do not put conditions on your happiness i.e. “If this happens…Then I will be happy.” Everyone is different and there are big and small things that can bring a smile to your face. If it can make your job or life more enjoyable then do it. Do not worry about other people’s judgement just worry about your own happiness.

  • Blog #79 – INSPIRATION for FREE

    The one thing I find more inspiring than anything is nature. Nature has a way of putting me in awe. Everything is perfect in nature. The sunset is a beautiful mosaic masterpiece in the sky everyday. The colors are swirled around in an amazing fashion. The beauty of the sunset makes me feel like I am a small piece in something much larger than myself. It makes me thankful for the life I have and encourages me to keep pursuing my dreams.

    Everybody is different so you may have something else that inspires you but you need to know where you can get that fuel on your pursuit of happiness.

  • 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.

  • Blog #51 – Let the Sun Shine Bright on You

    When you want something all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

    Paulo Coelho

    We all want great things to happen to us. We all have dreams. We all have things we want.

    We do not always get what we want but we always get what we need. Wanting something is not enough. There has to be a stronger need to get what you want.

    Everything that you have is because you need it. You have shelter because you need a place to sleep. You have food, water and air because you need these to live. You have a job because you need money. You have relationships because you need love. You have a smart phone because you need to communicate. You have apps on your phone because they solve a need. Even games solve the need to not feel bored.

    If want change or abundance in your life then you have to need it. You need a “why” that will give you the motivation to do whatever it takes.

    Know that there is no need to great that can’t be met.

    Great book to read. Turn ordinary into extraordinary.

  • Blog #50 – The FOMO is Real

    I have a fear of missing out.

    There are so many fun things going on at every moment. How do I justify what I should do?

    Before you cave into the feeling of FOMO you should understand your opportunity cost. The number 1 priority is your time. Could you be doing something better with your time? This is the only thing you can’t get back.

    What do you want to do with your time? Have fun, make money, build relationships, fix broken things, solve problems, party, socialize, make music, dance.

    If you do go out then you miss the chance to stay in. If you stay in then you miss the chance to go out and have fun with your friends.

    Whats most important to you in the long term?

    There is a balance that can be achieved between going out for fun and staying in.

  • Blog #49 – Be your own hero

    Look up to yourself and the person you have become over the years. Appreciate all the hard work you have put in to be where you are at. Look back and be amazed at the things you have done. Think about the times you followed through with what you said you would do. Remember the moments when life challenged you and you took the higher road. All of the times you helped someone out of a bad situation. Not because you wanted something but because that is the type of person that you are.
