If I'm Too Much, You Can Go Find Less

The world is conspiring to make my life better every single day.

The world is setting up challenges in my life every single day so I become tougher and improve. My lens has shifted to seeing every single problem in my life as being placed in my favor.

Think about it.

It’s about holding a mindset to be proactively positive. Look at the negative through a different perspective. There is a silver lining to every dark cloud. The obstacle is the way.

The obstacle is there for you.

Your level of success is based on how quickly and elegantly you can solve problems that get in your way.

To solve problems without getting stressed, or better yet, to anticipate potential problems and choose to put proper things in place so that the problem never happens to begin with.

You have to think uniquely and differently from those around you.

Most of our lives are being shaped by outside influences, and you have to consciously take control of your future and decide for yourself what matters to you most and what you’re going to do to get it.

Ask penetrating questions.

Don’t just accept what people tell you.

You are capable of change.

You are capable of doing whatever you set your mind to.

You can and WILL succeed.

Expectations create your experiences in life.

What people say around you or to you about what you can accomplish is absolute nonsense. I believe in you. You are meant for greatness.

This is YOUR life and how it turns out is based on YOUR decisions.

The bottom line is, if you’re going to be certain about anything in life, choose to be certain about your own personal power.

The same level of thinking that has gotten you to the level of success that you have today will not get you to the level of success that you want for tomorrow and beyond.

You have to know that and anticipate it. You have to be prepared and always pursue progress.

In order to be a leader, you have to anticipate problems before they occur and solve them before they come up. Anticipating trends in human desires and behavior is a superpower.

Become a trendsetter.

If you want to shape the world, develop and define a vision that inspires not only you but also the people around you.

Build a core team around you and challenge the status quo.

Get clear on what your vision is and then begin to ask questions that no one thinks to ask.

Think about what’s inside of you. The root of all human misery is the ignorance of our personal power.

The reality of our existence is joy.

You are ALIVE. Events, people, and money are not the sources of your happiness. YOU are the source of your happiness.

You have an infinite reservoir of joy inside of you that just needs to be tapped into. All the sweetness and love you want right now is flowing through your own veins. Don’t hold yourself hostage by the false belief that anything outside you will bring you joy. Instead, develop an insatiable curiosity for digging deeper inside yourself, and when you feel good, ask yourself how you can tap into that feeling more.

Feeling good is a state of mind and emotion. Breathe deeply. Smile. Notice your facial expressions. Change your focus and you change your level of happiness. Remember, it’s not only your physical body and your beliefs that cause you to feel depressed; it’s also what you choose to focus on.

If you’re unhappy right now, it’s because you’re not focusing on things in life that empower you. Control your focus.

Ask happy or empowering questions.

Your brain is always trying to avoid pain and gain pleasure. So control the focus of your mind by asking better questions.

The three foundational things that must be changed if you want an improvement in your quality of life:

1. Change your standards.

2. Change your beliefs.

3. Change your strategy for conducting your life.

If you raise your standards and change your beliefs, you will find the strategies to succeed in life. If every day you demand more from yourself than you did the day before and believe it’s possible, new strategies will show up.

You must commit to constant, never-ending improvement.

Kaizen.
