Negativity is highly underrated

Negativity is highly underrated Everyone whines and cries about how hard they have it. They hide from it and try to avoid it. Everyone wants to sound all noble and proper and say things like You're doing it for the wrong reasons... if you want to shove every ounce of every doubt & disbelief that ANYONE ever expressed to you down their throat. I say bullshit....EMBRACE IT Negativity is an amazing fuel for success when you know how to harness it. Every time I feel burnt, frustrated, lazy...I draw on those emotions to get  in gear and start moving the direction I need to go. Unfortunately, the world is a mean place...especially if you have big dreams...it will do EVERYTHING it can to get you lose belief in yourself, become insecure and accept a path you don't really want. Then it will tell you that you should be grateful for that path. It will push you to the brink and make you question EVERYTHING about yourself. And when that happens you have two choices: A. Give i...

So much of society is focused on "whats in it for me?"

So much of society is focused on "whats in it for me?". This exactly the OPPOSITE of the attitude that gets you anywhere in life. When 99% of the people are the "take take take" variety...how do you stand out and create value for yourself? BE SOMEONE WHO GIVES. BE SOMEONE WHO CONTRIBUTES. BE SOME WHO MAKES OTHERS BETTER. When you give yourself selflessly you not only make yourself stand out...you become more valuable in a relationship, organization and society. This leads to bigger and better opportunities and also you create a more fulfilling existence for yourself. Giving isnt only the key to success...its the key to happiness. Its not "what can I get?"...its "what can I give?". If you're a "what can I get" person don't be surprised.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal.

I see so many people trying to craft, construct, and design THE PERFECT plan for their lives. They look for a plan that has zero obstacles, zero risk, zero setbacks, zero fear that requires the least amount of effort possible. You know what a plan like that gets you? ZERO RESULTS. You know why? Because you'll always be in "Plan mode" and never start "ACTION MODE" because a plan like that doesnt exist The VERY BEST thing you can do RIGHT NOW is accept that you are going to screw up. You are going to make mistakes. You are going to fail. AND THIS IS A GREAT THING EMBRACE IT You cannot win without out first learning how to lose. Once you fully grasp this concept, instead of looking at "failure" as a negative thing...you'll get excited to fail and apply the lessons "failing" blesses you with. Failure in average minds, is generally thought of as some negative event that is beyond our control. In reality, "Failure" is on...

Makes a lot sense

 views You want to do something. You have never done this thing before. You want to be great at this thing. You havent put in the study hours. You havent put in the practice. You havent put in the work. You havent put in the time. You know youre going to be bad at this thing when you start. And since its incomprehensible for you to be bad at something in front of other people....you decide to do nothing...and continue on with an existence that is unfulfilling, boring, irrelevant and leaves you with nothing to show for your life....oh...and broke too. All because your ego is so f**king over inflated & fragile that you aren't willing to look bad when you first start out. Makes a lot sense. 😑🔫

Success

Success is far less about how productive you are when you "feel like it" and far more about how well you can execute when you don't. Learning how to close that gap is the ultimate productivity habit. A common assumption among people that struggle is that "successful people" either have it easier or possess super human powers that keep them "in the zone" and running at high levels every single day. And while it is 100% TRUE that successful people run at high levels every single day. Its not because they are special or gifted or have it easier. They have bad days. They struggle just like you. The difference is they have developed a habit & a discipline for themselves that pushes them through the days on which they struggle and keeps them producing at high levels even when they do not feel like it. They have created a thought pivot that triggers productive action. For example: " Im too tired to respond to those five emails...Id rather ...

Life goals and Success are EXACTLY the same.

This wasn't meant for me. Are you sure? Or are you don't have what it takes in your heart to endure the struggle? Being able to look yourself in the mirror and be honest with yourself in situations where something "isnt for you" about exactly "why" it isnt for you is a necessary tool to cultivate. Because here is the truth 99.99% of the time people say "this isnt for me" what they are really saying is Im not willing to do the work required and I want something easier. And if thats the case...success most likely "isnt for you" either. If you were wanting to run a marathon, but every time you got frustrated, tired, winded, sore or bored you turned around and went back to the starting line would you ever complete your goal of running a marathon? Of course not. Life goals are EXACTLY the same. Success is the same. Nothing GREAT is given...it's EARNED...its built by your dreams, thoughts, focus & ACTIONS. The factor that al...
