  • 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.

  • Blog #45 – Are you in the know?

    How do you know?

    If you do not know then uncertainty and chaos will take over. The world is in a state of entropy where disorder is the norm. There is always dishes to do, clothes to wash, things to clean because clean is not the norm. The universe is in complete disarray where nothing is perfect.

    So why make your bed if you are just going to get it messy again?

    Why clean your house if it’s going to get dirty again?

    Why create a symphony out of noises?

    We do these things because we know what we want. We know we want a clean house so we will do what it takes to keep our house clean. We know we want a made bed so we will take the time after we wake up to make our beds. We know we want to create a beautiful masterpiece so we will do what it takes to make it happen. We know we want money so we will goto a job or collect assets that will give us money. We know we want to be healthy so we will exercise and eat right to be healthy.

    How do you know what you want?

  • Blog #44 – Take the Pain Out

    Often times the most painful thing is to start.

    To start playing an instrument. To start speaking a different language. To start writing a blog. To start working out. To start cooking at home more. To start being more vulnerable. To start saving money. To start your creative process.

    There is an unbelievable amount of motivation that one must have to start anything. If you are like me and most people then this motivation comes and goes. I’ll be good for a day or a week or a month and then I’ve fallen off the motivation wagon. Usually I fall off because progress is too slow or I get bored. Then I do not get back on until I am motivated again. This could take weeks, months, or even years. There is a better way to start than to rely on this invisible motivation meter.

    Think of what you want to start and how you can make it a habit. Once something is a habit it becomes natural and does not require any motivation.

    To create a habit you need a trigger, the action and then a reward.

    For example if you want to start working out then the trigger could be once you get off work or set an alarm on your phone or right after you wake up. Once the trigger happens you know its time to do the work but once you do it then reward yourself. And make the reward big enough to get you excited to take the action.

    What is your trigger? What is your action? What is your reward?

    To learn more about habits I suggest reading.

  • Blog #43 – We are Awesome!

    “It is your decisions, and not your conditions, that determine your destiny.”

    Tony Robbins

    There is so much that goes on in our lives that we often become reactive to the conditions that life gives us.

    Unless something drastic happens most people are content to live just as they are. Even if they don’t like how they are living. There is a sense of helplessness that things cannot change. If you believe that things cannot change then you are not going to put in any effort to change them.

    It is understandable that with no belief and no action you will get no results. Without results there is no progress. There is nothing to build from. There is no where to go.

    This is why the first step is the hardest because you have to have the belief even when you have seen no results. You must have blind faith and take that first leap into action. Once you’ve taken the first action you will get the first results. You will see yourself doing what you want and your belief will build. Your actions will become greater and soon your results will be great.

  • Blog #42 – The Gift of Freedom

    Often in life we feel restricted or tied down. In our jobs, houses, relationships, contracts and finances. There is an obligation that we must meet. Because we are putting resources to that obligation the thing that we want to do is not available to us.

    “If it wasn’t for _______ I would be doing _________!”

    This is what we tell ourselves. We think that something has got us trapped or holding us back. The only thing holding you back is this attitude!

    Embrace the language of freedom. Know that you are as free as the bird. You are the pilot of your life and you can go wherever you want to. You do not have to go into a job you hate. You chose to go into a job you hate. You do not have to stay in a bad relationship. You chose to stay in a bad relationship. If you don’t do something because you can’t afford it then how can you afford it?

    If you are lucky enough to be born in the USA then we can make all these choices ourselves. We are not told our career path. We are not told who we are going to marry. We do not have to give away all our money. We are not forced to live somewhere. We are free to make our own choices on our pursuit of happiness.

  • Blog #41 – Trust the Process

    Trust the process

    Trust the process

    Stop not trusting the process.

    If you have a creative process then you know what it is like to not trust the process. You know what it is like to over think and over analyze every little detail because things have to be perfect. The work is a reflection of you and people will judge you for it. They will say things about you that hurt and worst of all they are true.

    Your work does suck! It’s true nobody likes your work! It’s true no one knows who you are! It’s true there tons of people that have more likes and followers. It’s true that your never going to be a star! All of these things sting because they are true. Whatever someone says is true to the person that said it. In that person’s mind I am worthless. They are their own judge and jury for my work. Their opinion is as valid as the next person’s.

    The next person is a fan and loves everything you do! You can do no wrong! They worship the ground you walk on and support your work. They have your work in their house and it brings them joy everyday. Your work has changed their life for the better!

    Each of these people are going to happen to you as long as you keep putting out work. No matter what you will get better over time if you are trust the process. The ride is going to be a roller coaster so buckle up and be tough enough to handle anything.

  • Blog #40 – Let’s be Honest Here

    Honesty and dishonest are a fork in the road. Each one goes to some place else. Once you chose one you are on that road. You will keep making that decision to stay on that road because if you want to chose the other road you will have to go all the way back to the original fork.

    If you are dishonest with yourself or anyone it leads to mistrust.

    Trust is a castle that must be protected. The castle can be as strong as stone or as weak as sand. The more honest you are the stronger the castle will be. Each time you say something true and follow through with your promises you are building this trust castle. The castle only gets stronger or it collapses. If something is done to lose that trust then the castle melts away like sand and cannot be rebuilt.

    This is true for trusting other people, them trusting you, and you trusting yourself.
