Juan on One Coaching

Have you ever caught yourself saying something you don't really believe in?

Have you set goals that you think you can attain but can't bring yourself to get fully behind it?

Creating the life you desire requires more than logic and passion...

The advances in technology like machine learning and artificial intelligence are making it very easy to understand the things that are driving our current results.

Many want to blame social media for the loss of the younger generations but I tend to look at it with a different perspective.

I think social media and smartphones are a mirror to our mind.

Thus, if I take a few minutes observing your social media usage, I'll be able to determine how you operate.

There's a point in our lives when we lose sight of what it means to live.

We focus so much on playing the game of life that we forget we are more than players.

Being present in the moment is one of the most satisfying thing we can experience.

It's time to focus more on being and less on doing.

Sounds stupid but  there's obviously a twist.

There are many people who are already dead but they haven't made it official.

Most of us, join the workforce as a way to live for the paycheck as opposed to just live.

Quitting your job is the first step towards having a life of fulfillment.

Here's how I did it.

Just a quick challenge for the day.

We leave is a world where we try to manipulate each other daily. Not with ill intent but by hiding what we truly feel and think in any given situation.

I admit there are things that need to be kept private or wait for specific moments to be shared.

Notwithstanding, it's interesting to notice how much we hide behind politeness and political correctness.

Excerpt from Think & Grow Rich, Chapter on Desire, as shared by Napoleon Hill from a poem by unknown author.

===

"I bargained with Life for a penny, And Life would pay no more, However I begged at evening When I counted my scanty store.

"For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task.

"I worked for a menial's hire, Only to learn, dismayed, That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid."

Something to think about.

It has been a challenge to stay productive.

Have you ever got to the end of the work day know that you have been busy all day but still feel like nothing got done?

I have found myself creating work for myself just to be busy but not necessarily moving closer to my goals.

It is easy to fall into this trap because we have been programmed to think our value is based on how much we produce.

This is a quick exercise to evaluate your week and plan the next.

It seems to be part of what we do.

Most of us don't like it.

But the truth is that it is necessary and expected when we pursue something we have never done before.

We have talked about learning from failure. Yet, Napoleon Hill presented a different spin on the idea over 80 years ago.

I seem to be pretty bad at this up until now.

It's so simple that one thinks it's dumb.

Have you ever setup a plan or strategy and never looked at it again?

If so, how many times did you succeed with that approach?

The fact is that repetition and the combination of emotions with thought is what creates lasting change.

Hope you give these steps a try.

I cannot recall how many times I heard the advice to "not burn my bridges" throughout my years in corporate America.

It's a similar phrase to "better safe than sorry"

But, what if those bridges are keeping us tied to the past? What if they are preventing our progress?

Here's a thought from Napoleon Hill...
