Weekends will make or break how successful you become

“Your brain will seek out comfort and shelter quickly because it uses these tools as a natural defense mechanism.”

What do I mean by that title?

The title in and of itself is extremely self-explanatory, but there is a deeper meaning wrapped into what comes with the decision to apply yourself outside of what is required.

This is where champions are made.

Why waking up with the sunrise makes you powerful

“That is true power, controlling what you can control”

I did not want to get out of bed this morning. It was actually luck that I did, because I had a lot of things I needed to accomplish before going to work.

I had forgot to fill up my huge cup of water I usually drink part of when I wake up and I don’t mean to, but today it was empty and my throat was extremely dry. So, even though all I wanted was to hop back into bed and fall back asleep, I struggled down to the faucet, fighting my own mind and mindset all the way, “should I get up?”, “should I go back to bed?”

Excuses: How to get rid of them

“You just need to make sure you are not holding yourself back by making excuses when you could be making progress”

Excuses are like wildfire. They spread and spread and spread and never really come to a stop unless an avalanche of the right stuff, in this case, water and whatever else they use to stop a fire is used. That is, it is much better to stop the wildfire spread of excuses while you can before everything falls apart because you didn’t stop the flow of excuses from your brain to the real world.

You see, your brain will try to justify everything that you, in the moment, think is right. Even if what you’re doing is the stupidest thing on the planet, or if you’ve made the same mistake countless times, your brain will still recognize the activity as fun, carefree, and worth it if you are making yourself happy while you’re doing that thing, whatever it may be.

How to acquire Greek God levels of confidence for life

8 Minute Read

There are 3 pillars to acquiring Greek God levels of confidence. That’s it. No gimmicks. No bullsh*t. 3 things. And if you fix them, master them, learn how to use them, and put them into action every single day starting from the time you wake up to the time you put your head back on that pillow, you will transform from someone who’s currently afraid to talk to that cute girl/guy, afraid to stand up to their boss, or afraid to change their life to do what they love regardless of money to someone who meets all the challenges in his/her life and wins at every obstacle in life. If that sounds interesting, then keep reading.

Seven powerful steps to fill life with surprises!

“All good surprises have a good central plot, a piece de resistance”

Daily Life

Life is filled with daily chores. Get up the children, feed the dog, take out the trash, get the kids ready for school, make breakfast, get dressed for work, pack up the laptop, put the papers back in the folder. And, what about the do not forget times? Don’t forget your homework, don’t forget your lunch money, don’t forget your dad will pick you up early for the doctor, don’t forget we have friends over for dinner tonight, don’t forget to pick up dinner after the doctor. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It is no wonder there are realms of literature about organization, stress management, how to stay focused and my favorite “one-minute manager.” That is all the time we have left. One minute. Every day, in every kitchen around the world, this scenario, like the one above, is replayed with untold precision, right? No. While the story may begin the same the ending is quite different because the only reliable truth is tomorrow will be much like today. Do not sit there and let life be filled with surprises, instead decide to fill life with surprises. I know that the simple decision I never purposely made, trying to surprise people I know, and some I have never met, contains the key to my state of mind. As I have grown wiser, because getting older did not sound like much fun, I continue to see myself as a child. When I talk to neighbors about a project, I truly feel like I did when I asked my father how to do something: Natural curiosity, wanting to learn something new, and glad that this older person wants to help me be the teenager with this project. So, I urge you to think young, feel happy, and look for surprise opportunities.

How to make your promises a powerful must

“It is the fighting spirit that has led you to the place you stand at today”

5 minute read

WHY?

It’s the simplest thing. Following through. But it tends to be the most difficult for most people. Nobody understands when they make a promise or agree to a contract of some sort, whether physical, emotional, or mental, that you are not done when you put your name on the dotted line, or say that you will do whatever it is you agreed to do.

YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO DO IT.

Fasting: Making consistency in your life easy

8 minute read

You don’t have to eliminate every pleasure in your life as some health “gurus” may have made you think in the past.

Overview

“Maintaining consistency” kind of sounds like a double entendre and quite boring, but it serves its purpose quite well and is quite necessary. As you will and/or have seen in your past relating to your relationship with food, consistency is easy(if you’re gonna eat like crap). If you want to be a better person, it’s not so easy. It’s actually harder than going to the gym for me.
