If I had $1k right now I know exactly where it would go. It would be given to my close friend Adam so he can go on our trip ski trip to Denver.
Adam is having a hard time getting the flights he needs to get him and his brother to Denver for our yearly ski trip with some close friends from all across the US.
He is short $1K for getting those flights and that is where my money would go.
Regardless if a friend is in need or not, my money would always go to others.
I've begun to move away from relying on the daily guru to help me write these messages, I've become more comforable in my own thoughts and I'm cofident in what I write. And that is the topic for today. As a person starts to leran more and understand what they believe in then they want to share it with others. All I talk about is staying positive and focusing on your goals. Everyday I wake up I say I'm going to have a great day and then I thank god for my wife and kids. Then I review my goals and prepare foe the day. Each day I so this and send these emails I become a little more comfortable and confident in myself. And the more cofident I become then the more I want to pass it along. I don't want to preach or force it on people I just want pass I'd along an how others see my pasion and drive. And I hope others are moved to focus on their goals and live a positive life. I find a lot of people are reluctant to try and think this way because they feel embarrassed or funny about being happy all the time. Society has taught is that it's ok to leave things status quo or that you need to be negative about stuff. But this is wrong! You need to strive for better, you need to look for the good in things and you need to always be moving forward towards your desires. We have the ability to dream so that we can see the things we truly want in our lives. Day dreaming is a just a form of visualizing your goal and focusing on it. Go take 5-10 minutes and see what your future holds :)

You have the choice to do whatever you want. No matter the situations, death, birth, love, sadness, happiness, winning, loosing, whatever it is you always have the the choice to make the situation as you want it. In every situation there is opportunity, you can find good in the most desperate situation. Life is not about winning but about choosing. I've been watching Tony Robins and this is something he preaches. Every morning you wake up you make the decision if that day is going to be great or not. Doing this on your own is not easy to accomplish, it requires support. To be on this path of enlightenment you need to have tools and a team in place to stay focused. For us we have a team that is in constant contact with each other to make sure we are each thinking in the right state of mind. We have tools in place such as to-do lists, alarm clocks, and auto reminders that are strategically setup to make us alert at key moments. These are simple tools we've put in place to get us going. At some point our actions would become habit and just natural instinct, but until then we do our best to always stay focused. The key lesson here is that you make the personal decision how your life is going to effect everybody else's around you. There is good in everything, you just need to choose to see it.
Sphere: Related ContentOne step at a time. The message is always the same. Everything takes time, effort and patience. You can wake up have a great idea and expect it to magicly be done right then and there. And to be honest if you want that idea to be done right then it takes even longer. The key here is to not give up when it feels like it's taking too long. You need to always keep you eye on that end goal, and just keep pushing. Along the way there are going to be down falls, like you find out somebody else already did it, or it's going to take twice as long as you thought, or .... but those things don't matter. What matters is that you keep focused and keep moving. Nothing great just happens, everything takes time and effort to archive.
Even when you reach the top of your mountain you still always want more. The day that you don't want any thing else, is the the day you've given up. I was having a hard time trying to write this one because I think you should reach a point of satisfaction, but it's not about that. You can always be satisfied and still want. Money and things are not the defining items of our goals, our goals are about accomplishment, fulfillment, and pride. You are always going to want to see you children and wish more for them, you are always going to want to be closer to your loved one, and you are always going to want to make everyday the greatest day of your life. The day you wake up and you don't feel that way, is the day you've reached the end. This message is a little off from making money and reaching for the top, but in the end what is that your goals get you. They get you a sense of self fulfillment and a sense of pride. Just imagine you are completely alone, no phone, email, or anything, you have no family or friends ... now imagine that you just won the lottery. How would you feel?
Think about when you are having time off and if doing nothing makes you happy. I would dear to say that "Yes" you did feel happy, but I would think that your happiness came from knowing you worked so hard to get that time off. Now imagine you did nothing, you won the lottery so you have all the time in the world and all your did is pick some numbers. I would say it would start off happy but slowly turn to boredom. There is a reason why a ton of retired people go back to work, or why people who make their millions go out again and do it all over again. There is a joy in accomplishment, and it's addictive, so people keep doing it over and over. I always put my goal of retirement at a young age, but what I'm reaching for is a freedom at a young age to do what I want. I know already that what I want is more time with my family but I also want more time to do more things and keep progressing.
