Why be realistic?

This one is short and sweet. Why would you want to be realistic? Don't compare yourself to statistics, don't look at your dream in a statistical way. That just gets your hopes down, it limits what you can do, stop being so realistic. There really is not reason to have a plan b because it distracts you from plan a. "Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity. "

Are you living for money? Or living to experience life?

How do you want to live your life? So many students get out of college and don't know what to do, so many people get out of high school and don't know what to do. Or at least that's what they say, because they want to go where the money is, they don't follow their dream, they think people will look at them silly, and many will. Ask yourself what you would be doing, if money was no object, what would you be doing? That's how you should be living your life! It's stupid to do something that you don't want to do, just because you're living for money It's weird to think that a piece of paper controls your life.

Enough with the negative self talk

We all have our own negative self talk in our heads, telling ourselves that we can't do it, or that we are not good enough. Now why would we want to tell ourselves that we aren't good enough, or that we can't do it? We already have enough people telling us that we aren't good enough, and that we can't do it. So really why do we want to say that negative self talk to ourselves? We don't want that! We know that thoughts influence actions, so if we are constantly telling ourselves that we can't do it that we aren't good enough, how do you think that's going to affect you? You need to tell yourself, "I can do this, I will do this, I am good enough" every single day. You are the master of your fate, and if you don't believe it, then neither will anyone else. So how do you gain self confidence? Get away from people that are tearing you down, that are telling you, you can't do it. Make the sacrifice, cut the bad fruit off of the tree. Tell yourself everyday, "I'm going to make it, even if no one can see it, I'm going to see it for myself, I'm going to make it".

You can achieve your dreams IV

If you're working on your dream, sure there are going to be times that you want to give up, sure there are going to be times when life knocks you down, but the challenge is to hold one! If you can hold on, then the universe is on your side! If you don't decide to go for your dream, if you don't decide to live YOUR life, if you don't face your fears, if you don't say yes to life, it will never work for you. don't be afraid to tell people what you want to do, be proud of your ideas and dreams. If people don't take you serious that's on them! They don't know how passionate you are, how much drive you have, how dedicated you are, how inspired, or motivated you are, or even how talented you are, they don't know how hard you are willing to work, don't listen to them! This next thing is important. At the end of each day, reflect on your day, what you did, and how it went, then ask yourself. "If I did what I did today, every day, would I reach my goals and dreams? Would I be successful? What kind of life would I live?" If you ask this everyday it really helps you measure where you are headed, and gets you in gear to go for your dreams, live everyday as if it is your last!

Finding your "why" is phenomenal

Finding your "why" is one of the keys to reaching your goals, achieving your dreams, and being successful! Why are you doing what you're doing? Why are you reaching for that dream? Why are you reaching to accomplish that goal? What is it that you want? What do you want out of life? What you are you doing that for!? Life is going to knock you down sometimes, and your why has to be greater than that knockdown. Buster Douglas got knocked out, no body ever got knocked out by Mike Tyson and ever got back up. He was stumbling, it was like a 10 count, but he got saved by the bell. Everyone thought that, that was it. They thought when he comes back out Tyson is just going to hammer him. Mike Tyson came out just like that, like "I got this kid up against the rope". Well sometimes life is going to get you up against the rope, but you can't give in, fight back! Don't give in! Buster Douglas fought back, he knocked out Mike Tyson. They asked Buster what happened, and Buster said "Listen to me, it's real simple, before my mother died she told the whole world that I was going to beat Mike Tyson, and two days before the fight my mother died." Buster Douglas found his why! His why was greater than that punch! His why was greater than defeat! If you don't know what your why is, and your why isn't strong you're going to get knocked out everyday!

Failing does not make you a failure!

There is a big difference between failing and being a failure, even if things don't work out, even if I experience defeat or failure, that does not make me a failure! If you don't produce the results you want and things don't work out, then that's it.  But don't get confused and mix up who you are, with the results that you produce! Do what you can, with what you have, where you are, and never settle!  Always know that wherever you are, that you can enjoy more, and that you do deserve more, always strive to be better, don't settle, don't get satisfied!

Stop saying "but"

Too many of us go through life pretending like we don't have goals or dreams that we want to achieve. Deep down inside we really do want more! Instead we block ourselves and and use these words like we are in a trans, like we are sleepwalking through life, we find ways to make excuses to quit on our dreams. There are so many things we want to do in life, so many places we want to go, so many things we want to experience, but we make excuses and say "but this", or "but that". "But" will cause you to hideout behind fear, "but" will cause you to come up with all kinds of excuses, "but" is a dream killer. Most people go through life tip toeing safely to an early grave. We have ideas we don't act on, and things we want to accomplish, but we are scared to take chances! Don't allow "but" to keep you in the corner.

The power of a changed mind

There is nothing as powerful as a changed mind. You can change your hair, your cloths, your address, your spouse, your residence. But if you don't change your mind, you will experience the same outcome over, and over, and over again. If you want something out of life, if you want to change yourself, if you want to acquire something, if there is some goal you'd like to reach, changing your behaviors and negative behaviors can be the key but it's very challenging, it's hard. But it is the most powerful thing you can do to change your situation, to achieve that goal, or to acquire whatever it is that you want. You can't expect to move forward and achieve your goals, and change your life situation without changing your mindset!

Why do we fall?

Why do we go through struggles? Why do we fall? We fall to make us stronger, to give us character, to make us who we are today. We fall for a reason guys, without failure we cannot be successful. When we overcome a challenge it makes us stronger creates the kind of person we become, gives us experience. That's just part of life and it's going to get hard sometimes, but we are not given anything we cannot handle. Everything that happens, we can handle. It doesn't matter what happens to you, don't make excuses, what does matter is what you DO about what happens to you. I encourage you to watch this video.
