Whew what a week , and it’s still going ! 😀 I’m very grateful 😀

A theme , somewhat through my week with my students .

Self-Awareness …

It’s a key ingredient in our success.

If you are continually NOT getting the results in your life that you want ???

It’s simply that there is something that you’re doing that you are unaware of .

It’s not enough to just set the goal , create the plan , and then execute it …

You have to measure it daily !!!

Don’t wait until tomorrow to get started …..

You may be one day too late ❤️

Make it a life changing weekend 😀

Set goals that are congruent with your highest values .

Do the work to know what all your values are…

Then …

Decide on your Top 3 Highest Values.

Now …

Visibly have them everywhere…

Now set your day with high priority actions.

Otherwise it fills up with low priority distractions.

Those of us who say …

“Why am I not accomplishing my goals/outcomes?”

It’s Simple ….

Because you’re not in congruency .

Summary :

Step 1 … Know your values . 😀

06/16/2022

Pick the right people who you spend time with .

Consciously design your life.

These people will influence …

Your Values …

Your Beliefs …

Your Principles …

Your Skills that you’ll acquire .

The right people won’t say to you ….

“ Oh you can’t do that . “

They’ll say …

“Yes you can do that , and this is How ! “

BE INTENTIONAL …

BE PURPOSEFUL …

WHO THE PEOPLE ARE THAT YOU BRING INTO YOUR LIFE. ❤️

“The Backwards Law .”

This Law defined is …

The DESIRING for a positive experience is a negative experience.

While the ACCEPTANCE of a negative experience is a positive experience.

So ….

Stop trying to be happy. Stop desiring happiness.

Because as long as you are in a state of desire ….

You’re in a state of resistance, to the reality of your experience in the here and now.

And ….

Resistance always leads to more Suffering.

While acceptance of whatever you’re feeling leads to more peace .

And ….

Happiness is just another fleeting emotion.

While ….

Acceptance is a state of mind.

So ….

The more often you can be in a state of acceptance of whatever emotion you’re feeling in the moment ….

The more often you’ll experience a feeling of happiness as a by product .

So ….

Stop trying to be happy all time

And ….

You’ll be happier 😀

If you don’t fill your day with high priority things that inspire you ….

It’s going to keep filling up with low priority distractions that don’t.

One is built to create momentum and great achievement .

The other creates resistance, procrastination, hesitation, and frustration .

And anytime you’re not fulfilling your highest value.

You’ll begin to looking for consumerism, addicted behaviors, compulsive behaviors, immediate gratification behaviors to compensate for the unfulfillment.

This is why you’ll overeat, use the consumption of sugar and stimulants . And many other things.

Because you’re really not fulfilled.

You know this !!!

Because when your fulfilled you don’t have time for any of that .

You doing what you love everyday, living your purpose 😀❤️

Last last week I made a post about …

The “ Law of Slight Edge. “

Improving by 1% .

Here’s more on that …

When we commit to this idea …

In whatever area of life we choose …

What we need to understand …

What we need to know …

Is “ The Law of Compound Interest “.

Is working for us in regards to the commitment of this outcome we’ve chosen.

Our commitment to “ The Law of Slight Edge “.

Simple Example …

$400.00 month contributed at 5% for 5 years yields you $26,650.66.

$400 month contributed at 0% for 5 years yields $24,000.00

A $2,650.66 difference.

Some of you will say …

“ That’s not much.”

And some will agree with that.

Here’s the reality and overwhelming fact.

Most will not contribute ….

CONSISTENTLY !!!!!

Giving zero excuses.

They contribute some of the time.

So it’s not $24,000.00 .

For most ….

It’s $12,000.00. ( Half the Time. ).

So ???????

Just Start ….

Be Voraciously Committed …

Be Voraciously Consistent …

Change Your Language …..

Stop talking about what you don’t want .

Stop talking about why it will never happen.

Stop fighting for your limitations.

INSTEAD …….

Start talking about your good fortune . ( Gratefulnesses).

Start telling ( self-talk) about all the successes coming your way .

Start telling ( self-talk) that it is already happening. You are on the journey.

Last tip :

Prime your day.

Get a specific, intentional Morning Ritual.

(P.S.)

An Evening Ritual is a game changer as well 😀

It’s easy to dream about what you want ….

But in between where you are and what you want , what you’re dreaming about …..

There are major changes that have to happen …

So sit down , acknowledge those changes needed , and there is where you go to work .

One at a time …

2 particular beliefs of mine that I have shared with thousands of past and current students of mine and employees are …

1.) Want to change your life ? Change your story .

2.) In life we never get what we want …
We get what we expect. And we get what we expect because we feel worthy of it .

Cheers 🥂 It’s Wednesday, make the rest of the week as fabulous as the beginning of the week 😀

2.) Unlock your talents.

3.) Unlock your potential.

ONLY YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO UNLOCK THEM ALL ! 😀

Good Morning Fb !!! 😀 Let’s make it an awesome week ….

1.) Don’t look outside yourself for approval.
2.) Don’t SUFFER imagined troubles.
3.) Don’t fear change .
4.) Give up on the idea of revenge.

The outside world is incredibly NOISY. And it seems like it’s only getting worse.

Social media, phone calls, Zoom meetings, jam-packed schedules, and children, friends, family members, and business associates all demand our attention. The noise starts early in the morning and doesn’t end until you go to bed.

Even then, there isn’t one of us who hasn’t been awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call or text for one reason or another.

It’s our new reality. And it isn’t always healthy. Living in a 24/7 world can undermine your sanity and make you feel weary, day after day.

That’s why it’s more important than ever to carve out time and find quiet spaces inside of you. You need to give yourself the GIFT of drowning out the outside noise by getting quiet inside.

The ocean is a great example of how this works.

On the surface, tides churn, waves rise up and crash on shore, boats, birds and other marine life combine to create chaos.

Granted, it’s a beautiful kind of chaos. Even so, there’s a lot going on above the surface.

But as soon as you duck under the waves and go deep, everything becomes QUIET. Life slows down. Tides sway and fish glide by. Life under the surface is PEACEFUL and TRANQUIL.

If you’ve ever gone scuba diving, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Think about places you can go, even if it’s just inside your mind, to RESTORE and REJUVENATE yourself.

I get quiet on the inside by going for a walk, praying, taking a drive, or just sitting by myself and enjoying sunsets every chance I get. Other times, when I can’t get away, I’ll daydream and let my mind drift, almost like taking a mini-vacation.

When you get quiet on the inside, you’re taking care of YOURSELF.

And you can’t take care of others until you learn to do this first.
