"Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you." -Jim Rohn Let that final line sink in.... Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you Don't leave your life in someone else's hands... You be the architect of your future... You be the creator or your life... Be...

Your life … Your bank account... Your relationships... Your business... Is a direct reflection to your CONSISTENCY to something. You can't go to the gym one time for 8 hours and get results You can 20min a day, three times a week for a year and get staggering results You can't put $500 into your savings one time and see compounding results You can put $50 per paycheck away for your career and have staggering results. All success is a simple math equation: Consistency to an...

* I can change * I can do something different with my life * I can recreate myself * I can learn new things * I can rewire my brain The brain is incredibly plastic. Age does not matter. You can change careers, body composition at any age, 30,40,50,60 and beyond. Do you believe that? Do you believe that you have the capacity to alter your patterns? Patterns repeat until you change them. Many people want more, want different and say YES to this question. But don't change anything. They fall...

I read this quote today and it got me thinking... "The key to success is consistency" Most people don't actually struggle with consistency. The reason why most people are where they are … is because they are consistent Consistently eating processed or fast food that keeps them unhealthy... Consistently watching Netflix instead of reading a book... Consistently complaining instead of finding solutions or learning a new skill. Therefore, Consistency isn't what...

I was pondering the question I get often. How to deal with the people around us not believing in us or doubting our goals and dreams?? I had this epiphany, What if it’s not others doubting at all, what if it’s them saying what WE actually think, and it feels like them doubting us, but it’s really US DOUBTING US! I have been reading a ton about confirmation biases and it’s others(family, friends) confirming what we deep down believe about ourselves. Now we blame others for not believing in...

Og Mandino's main philosophical message is that every person on earth is a miracle and should choose to direct their life with confidence and congruent to the laws that govern abundance. He claimed that all successful people take on their own lives by "charting" or consciously choosing both the desired destination and the path to reach it. “I will persist until I succeed. I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded...

Let's try a little game. Look for everything around you that is red, now close your eyes and describe everything that was blue. Most miss what's there because we are so fixated on what we are looking for, we are constantly trying to confirm our biases. We are looking for things to confirm our beliefs. Even the negative about ourselves. Start looking for what's right. Start clapping for yourself when you do the right the thing. Simple things, like wake up on time. Went to the gym when I said...

“First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.” - Napoleon Hill "SELF-SYNERGY" is when your thoughts, words and actions are all in alignment just like Napoleon Hill stated, it all starts in your mind with your thoughts. There are a million and one things you could do. Your only limit is your imagination - which is also the seed of all plans. There’s...

Milk is spilled on the floor. You didn't do it. It's your house. The person, animal, thing that did it is not around, gone. What are you going to do about it? You gonna sit there and sulk.

Where in our life right now is the milk spilled. Where are we waiting for for someone else to clean the mess. Where are we blaming it on...

Momentum=the quantity of motion of a moving body People want big results. People fail because they RUSH to big results. They expect a result and don't respect the process! You can't skip to the end.

You don't fail at a result You fail at the preparation. Preparation takes learning. It's important to know that just learning it is not...

Behaviour change is harder to maintain than Belief change Belief change is harder to maintain than Identity change Identity change = Reality change "True behavior change is Identity change.

You are simply acting like the type of person you already believe yourself to be" -James Clear Identity is at the core, your identity leads to your processes(What you actually do), your...

“There's no talent here, this is hard work. This is an obsession. Talent does not exist, we are all equals as human beings. You could be anyone if you put in the time. You will reach the top, and that's that. I am not talented. I am obsessed.” -Conor McGregor Achieving a goal has nothing to do with talent. It's an obsession. Most people aren't obsessed with their goals because they don't believe they are worthy of them. The true purpose behind a goal, is not to achieve the goal. It's to...

What are the things you measure or track to stay motivated? -Kyle, Ohio For me when hear or see the word motivation. I have conditioned myself to think ACTION!!! It's about effort! I track or look at my effort. I definitely set goals, but its not about obtaining the goal its about who I become in the process. It's about becoming the person that can obtain that goal. Putting in the effort it takes to get there. A win without the effort creates more pain. Lottery winner effect. Most go...

Are you convicted or Are you interested? Most people don't know.. But, There is a MASSIVE DIFFERENCE Convicted - the state of mind of a person who is sure that what he or she believes. Interested - having the attention or curiosity If you are convicted you will find a way. If you are interested you will find an excuse. If you simply have interest in something you will find reasons it won't work, reasons to not take action. When you are convicted to something... NOTHING CAN STOP...

The 80/20 Principle or Pareto Principle says 80% of your results come from 20% of your activities. I believe its even more skewed than that. That most are doing very few things that are leading to the actual life they want. Leading them to "the best version of themselves" Meaning most of what you do throughout the day is actually a distraction. Most of what you are doing is taking you farther from your goals or the life you want. Dr. Marshall Goldsmith says, "If we do not create and...

In the critically acclaimed book 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳, psychologist Ethan Kross explores the silent conversations we have with ourselves. He warns that giving in to negative and disorienting self-talk—what he calls “chatter”—can tank our health, sink our moods, strain our social connections, and cause us to fold under pressure. Engaged Chatter- is getting stuck in the cycle of negative thinking and feeling. But the good news is that we can make our inner voice also work in our favor. By being aware,...
