Here is a good question for you to think about: If someone was going to write a report about the thoughts going through your mind, what would they say?
I ask you this because it is the number one question that you need to be asking yourself on a regular basis if you are going to experience freedom in your life. What are your thoughts all about?
I have found that the thoughts people entertain are the root causes of stress and what prevents them from experiencing all the freedom that they should have and deserve. People simply spend their time thinking about the wrong things. Here is what I mean:
You can either be thinking about the past, present or future.
Most people spend close to half their Read More...
For a moment, I’d like you to imagine that you are in a deep dark tropical jungle and you are completely lost. You are not quite sure which way is North, South, East or West. You can’t see the sun because the tree canopy above is so thick, which also means that you can’t see any of the mountains that you have been trying to find.
Suddenly, in the distance you hear a small group of friendly voices and the sounds of machetes chopping through the thick undergrowth. Like any smart adventurer you head towards the sounds of those voices, hoping that they will be able to point you in the right direction or let you join them.
Unfortunately, as you don’t have a machete it is slow going for you get to where those voices Read More...
Everyone has the ability to live an extraordinary life. So why don’t more people live up to their potential? In this 8-minute video, Anthony Robbins argues it is because of our standards.
What ever you focus on in life tends to happen. Anthony shares a story with a thought-provoking message – life will pay any price you ask from it.
Larry King interview Oprah on the book, The Secret, and the impact it has had on her life. Oprah makes the point that you, and only you, are in charge of your life. This gives you great responsibility and creative power to attract what you want.
When I woke up this morning, I was so pumped and excited about my life, I just had to take a minute to share some of the techniques I use. These are things I have incorporated into my morning routine which has lead to a difference in my overall attitude and excitement for the day. My attitude was good before and now, with some modifications to my morning routine, my attitude is fabulously phenomenal!
So as soon as I wake up, I am pumping my fist or doing some type of hand motion saying how outstanding and great today is, such as, “I am grateful to be alive and have the abundance around me.” I look at my wife and she is usually sleeping still. She is so beautiful when she is sleeping. Sometimes she Read More...
I had the privilege a few weeks ago of watching the most dominant team in recent sports memory- possibly the most dominant team in college sports history- play for the National Championship.
College women’s basketball may not be the gigantic national TV event that the men’s tournament is, but it’s the arena of the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team. If you haven’t paid attention to this team, you may want to.
In the last two years, this team is 78-0. That’s right, they’ve won seventy eight games in a row, including 2 National Championships…and their SMALLEST margin of victory over that stretch was a win by “only” 12 points.
To put this in perspective, it’s the second longest Read More...
Spring is in the air and the flowers are getting ready to burst into bloom. This time of year reminds me of a quote:
To exist is to change, to change is to mature, and to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.
Think about the analogy of a flower’s bloom in regards to this quote.
Anything that is alive, including ourselves, cannot exist without changing. Life means changing. Like a flower that is growing, we appreciate the growing and changing plant as it matures and blooms.
Sometimes, when change is happening to us, such as a new job, a workout routine, a healthier diet, or learning a new skill, it can be painful, but Read More...
Today I would like to revisit a concept that we have talked about many times – the concept of Be Do Have. I want to revisit it because it is one of those concepts that you could think about everyday, and everyday you would have a new or deeper insight.
The Be Do Have Principle literally applies to every area of your life. It is the idea that before you can Have something like joy, health, or wealth, you must first decide to Be the kind of person who has those things and then Do the things necessary to Have them.
The reason this concept is so vital to talk about is because most people think about Be Do Have in reverse order or out of order.
For example, many people believe that when Have a Read More...
We all go through ups and downs in business. You land a huge sale and then follow it up with a week with no sales. You get 3 great referrals, but none of them turn into sales. We have all had these experiences.
What I am about to share is what I believe has helped me stay grounded and more accepting of my business; both on good and bad days.
What I have realized (and thank you Tony Robbins) is that all the results are…..are results. They results are the by-product of what you put into the sales system. Like any law of the universe, there is an action and a reaction. Simple as that.
When you put in great effort and energy, you see great results. When you put in sloppy and Read More...
Spring is in the air! Driving around this time of year, it’s hard NOT to notice the vibrant green colors that radiate from the grass, fields, and tips of trees. It’s almost as if there is a light turned on under the ground, or inside the trees, which makes the green shine so bright. As I observe nature’s new growth, I am aware of the physical manifestation of what I have been pondering in great length recently – the inextricable link between growth and radiating joy.
You see, I’ve observed this in people: when they are growing–when they are pushing themselves to produce something new or to reach a new level–they seem to be really joyful. When people feel Read More...
