  • Blog #68 – Remind me Why again.

    To start anything you need a reason why.

    Why are you on a diet?

    Why do you workout?

    Why do you goto work?

    Why do you practice music?

    Why do you blog?

    Why are you in a relationship with that person

    There is a reason why you are doing the things you are doing. Chances are that some time has passed and you are not the same person that you were when you started this journey to begin with. So is you why still relevant or valid? If it is not then why are you still doing it? If it is valid then it is even more motivation to work harder for what you want.

  • Blog #14 – What is your Perfect Day?

    Would you know it if it happened?

    Do you have a target for what would be the perfect way to spend 24 hrs?

    There are 7 times a week or 356 times a year you can try to achieve that perfect day.

    We are creatures of habits so you are either getting closer to this day or further away from it.  The goal is not to have the perfect day once but to have the perfect day every single day.

    Your day should be helping you get closer to your long term goals and your future perfect day.

    String together perfect days and focus on your progress.

    We all fall off but must get back on.

  • Blog #13 – Why so serious?

    FunThings are not as big as I make them out to be.

    The goal is to have more fun and not take everything so serious.

    I have the best time when I am playing not when I am overthinking.  Tasks are more enjoyable and actually easier.  The output is better.

    Do not be scared to look stupid.

    The more you play the more you win!

  • Blog #12 – Repetition is the Key to Success

    With repetition comes confidence. With repetition comes credibility. Repetition builds momentum.  With repetition something small compounds into something enormous. With repetition something amazing is built.

    Live everyday!

    Repeat the good things.

  • Blog #10 – I want to be successful!

    I want to be successful at everything I do.  I want to be the best at everything. I do not want to lose. I want to be the smartest. I want to win. I want to prove to myself that I can do it.

    When these things don’t happen I get frustrated.  I get down on myself. I get stuck in a rut.

    When I am down, I know I need to believe more.  I need to have more patience.  I need to give more.  I need to help other people.  I need to be more grateful.

    We must not get too high or too low.

  • Blog #7 – Motivation is a Myth!

    MythMotivation is a mythical unicorn that does not exist.

    If you are waiting for motivation then you will not be successful.  If you need motivation then your dreams are not big enough.

    I know what it feels like to be tired or procrastinate.  I have spent many nights going down the YouTube rabbit hole when I needed to get “more important” things done.   I kept waiting for motivation and the more I waited the more I realized that it was never coming.  Maybe some people get a ray of light shining down on them or a burst of confidence and energy but that has not been my experience.  All of my creative work has been a battle.  A constant struggle from getting the project done and then another battle of sharing it.

    To win this battle I have installed habits, structure, discipline and commitment.   I have taken complete responsibility for my life.

    I feel better when I do not rely on motivation.
