    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 #96 – GET RICH SLOW

    There are two ways to get rich. You could win the lottery or you can get rich slow. Winning the lottery is a gamble and getting rich slow is done through good habits. Most people prefer the lottery because they are not disciplined enough, they are not focused enough, they are not optimistic enough to put in the work for long periods of time with little results. You know what you need to do just do it until you are the best at it.

  • 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.

  • 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?
