Ain’t a thing perfect.

September 7th, 2024

Why do we wait for everything to be perfect before taking action? Could be that we’re afraid of failing.

When have you ever planned something with extreme detail and it go exactly as planned? I doubt it.

Right now, instead of waiting for Noon to begin my workout, I’m typing this. Why wait? Just go do something. It can be one sentence, at least you’re making progress.
Un-comfy.

April 1st, 2024

“Become comfortable being uncomfortable” is great advice, but don’t think for a second that it’s foolproof.

Most of the time, the things you must do to get to the next level are uncomfortable. But what people won’t tell you is that if you work on whatever makes you uncomfortable, it will soon become comfortable.

Most definitely, push yourself. Most importantly, be yourself.

Life isn’t fair.

March 22nd, 2024

As kids, “Thats not fair” was a common phrase used by most. Adults nowadays have adopted this cry when faced with adversity, even if it was their own doing.
Ego

March 2nd, 2024

Your ego could be the problem.

You could be one of those people that have a story in your head.

If your reality doesn’t reflect it, you’re upset.

If you are of this group, don’t feel alone.

This isn’t uncommon.

We all fall into the trap of wanting others to think highly of us, in whatever realm we deem significant.

People’s perceptions guide what they think of you.

You can mean well, doesn’t mean it’s going to be received the way you intended it to.

So why are you upset again?
Humble Yourself

February 19th, 2024

Emerson said: ‘Every man I meet is my superior in some way. In that I learn of him.” – Dale Carnegie

Why do people struggle to admit when they might be wrong? Is it because of pride? Or perhaps the fear of being exposed as a fraud? It’s a tough question.

Here’s one thing I’ve noticed: those who act like they know everything usually don’t know much at all. On the flip side, those who really do know a lot understand how much there is still to learn.

It’s painfully obvious when someone talks confidently about something they know very little about, especially when they’re surrounded by people who know more. It’s cringeworthy, to say the least.
Sacrifice to get more.

February 14th, 2024

Using the “S” word always puts people in a strange mood. They know it’s necessary, but they avoid it like crazy.

In today’s fast-paced world, we’re all about speed. Waiting patiently for something seems almost taboo. This mindset affects everyone, young and old. We’re so used to constant movement that stillness feels foreign.

Instant gratification is the name of the game. We want our rewards immediately. That’s why social media is so addictive—it offers a quick dopamine hit with just a swipe. But what they don’t mention is how this can gradually make life less fulfilling.

Try relearning the art of patience and resisting instant rewards. The longer you practice, the more satisfying the results. Eventually, you’ll appreciate taking your time and putting in the effort. Just look at successful people—they might use social media to promote themselves, but they’re not spending all day scrolling.
Don’t Quit… Yet

February 5th, 2024

In life, we encounter challenging moments that test our resolve and fill us with uncertainty. It’s tempting to seek comfort or give up entirely when faced with adversity. However, embracing the discomfort and pushing through can pave the way for a remarkable comeback.

Even if you don’t complete the task at hand, enduring the toughest part sets the stage for a triumphant return. Instead of quitting prematurely, allow yourself to experience the discomfort, learn from it, and emerge stronger than before.

Embrace that feeling. Get used to it. The next time it comes around, you’ll be amazed by how much better you handle it.
Addition By Subtraction

July 17th, 2023

Sometimes you need to take a step back and evaluate your life.

It can be pretty frightening, especially when you don’t have the habit of journaling or being real with yourself.

The lies you’ve been telling yourself will grow. Attempting to bury your true emotions makes things worse.

Take a step back.

Whenever you feel you’re doing too much or you’re overwhelmed, it’s a perfect time to throw everything on the table and reorganize.

Eat simpler, cleaner food. Clean up your living spaces. Write down whatever is bothering you mentally.

Do the simple things well. Master the fundamentals.

Focus should be your main objective. Remove the activities that hinder your focus.
Be Bold.

May 5th, 2023

Boldness is respected, even if the action isn’t commendable. Have you ever felt like speaking up or standing up for someone, but hesitated? It’s never a good feeling. Even if you do speak up most of the time, your unconscious mind is always awake, waiting to see how you react to things. If you choose not to be bold, you will feel it. It will hurt.

The best way to counter this is to… counter it. Be bold. That doesn’t mean do something stupid. Being bold could be you engaging in a conversation with a total stranger at the grocery store while checking out. Telling someone that you don’t have to give them a reason for why you don’t want to hang out. Looking yourself in the mirror and telling yourself to go to the damn gym even though you don’t feel like it.

Your subconscious mind never sleeps. If you do this over time, the things you used to be afraid of doing will come with less resistance. You’ll wish you did it sooner.

Start now. Be bold. Enjoy the rewards.
Draymond Green

April 19th, 2023

Yet another example of emotions not being controlled. Draymond Green is suspended for 1 playoff game for stomping on somebody’s chest. After the stomp, he played it up to the crowd. I guess it made him feel better about himself or the situation… or whatever.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t expect people to be perfect. I expect people to be able to control the things that they actually have control over.

Your emotions are powerful. Power can be good or bad. If you don’t know how to control or channel your emotions correctly, you will only wind up looking like a fool.

Don’t be a fool. Don’t get tricked out of your position. Your emotions can lead you to your death if not controlled.

Control your emotions.
