    Blog #170 – High Standards need to be raised HIGHER

    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? You have standards in finances. What is the minimum I’m going to get paid? You have standards for your happiness. Are you going take time for yourself and do what makes you happy?

    To have a change in your life you have to raise your standards for what is the minimum acceptable. When you raise your standards you will see everything around you improve. Your health will get better. You will feel better and make better decisions. Your wealth will get better. You will get paid more for doing what you love. Your relationships will get better. You will have real people in your life that will be there for you. Your happiness will increase. You will take more time for yourself and do more things that make you happy.

  • Blog #146 – Do it for yourself

    Be one with yourself. Accept yourself for who you are. Forgive yourself for anything your holding on to. View everything as a learning experience. Take the time every morning to be grateful for who you are. Center you mind, body and spirit. Forgive those in your life may have wronged you. Thank them for teaching you a lesson. Show people the love that you wish to be shown. Take care of yourself so you can take care of others. Happiness is forgiveness. Do not hold onto guilt. Do not live a life in fear. Let go of fear and embrace love. If you need a helping hand then look at the end of your arm. If someone is struggling then embrace them. Show them love. The biggest jerk needs the most love. Stay golden. Stay in a beautiful state. Do it for yourself.

  • Blog #145 – The Answer is Love

    If you love someone then love them for who they are. Do not try to change them or impose your ideals on them.

    Show them love.

    Tell them how they are making you feel.

    Ask them questions.

    Give to them unconditionally.

    If you truly love somebody you will love them for who they are.

  • Blog #135 – Stay Motivated!

    Do whatever it takes to stay hungry and motivated. This is a tricky art and will require sacrifices. You will have to give up something, whether it be family, money, time, friends, or success. If you want to party every weekend you will have to give up time and money. If you want to be good at a skill then you will have to sacrifice friends and partying.

    Motivation can come about in different ways. The people you work with can motivate you to do a better job. They can be entertaining and you enjoy coming into work everyday.

    Competition can be motivating. You want to be better than the competition so you work hard and find ways to differentiate yourself.

    Significance can be motivating. You want to be the best so you feel important so you find ways to stand out and deliver the best quality you can.

    Learning and growth can be motivating. You want to be better than you are now so you do the work to make yourself better.

    Love can be motivating. Love is driving you to be better to take care of yourself and your loved ones. It can never get old if you love what you do.

  • Blog #56 – Family Bonds

    I know I am blessed to have a great family. They love and support me unconditionally. It is important to recognize this and also show them the same love and support.

  • 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.
