JUST STRT

What is the hardest thing that we all struggle with? 

Well that is a kind of trick question. You see as we are jumping into a 

NEW YEAR with a NEW WORLD creating a NEW YOU 

seems like the past is keeping us stuck and held back. 

2021 is upon us yet some things didn't change just because the calendar did.

Seems like we are now finding ourselves in this new world and fear is running rampant. 

Now more than ever we need to unify so that we can put our best thinking "hats" on and do 

what is best for humanity, not what is best for the individual. 

With the lies, corruption, and false narrative on both sides, it is no wonder that we the people are divided. 

Now is the time to unite together rather than stand apart. It doesn't matter your political stance, what matters 

is our potential and purpose. 

"There are only 2 great days in a mans life, the day that he was born, and the day he finds out why" 

I love this quote because it leaves room for thought. 

Take care my friends.

New year New You!

What is it? 

Better than a new years resolution that never gets accomplished

Better than a new day on the calendar

Better than a new you that regresses back to the previous habbits 

NYNY is an idea that shapes the direction that you want in your life. 

It helps develop you into the person that you want to become

by laying the foundation and changing the direction of your life. 

These are some of the thoughts that have helped me to let go of the past and push on to the future. 

Unlike a goal that is made Jan 1 and leaves you feeling broken, unfulfilled, and worthless on Jan 13 

NYNY is one simple word that you will take with you the whole year. This word will penetrate every area of your life this year.

For me this year my word is "Follow-through"

Last Year I chose "Intentional" and I was for the most part.

But 

I let a lot of things slip through the gaps. 

This year Follow-through is my word and my work that I am proud of. 

If you let your biggest struggles come to pass and work on them they have the potential to become your greatest strengths. 

For some people that is planning. I am one of those people who struggles with Planning and not getting distracted.

This year look at the positive potential and take action on it to get a different result! 

Thank you for helping me keep accountable. Take care my friends. 

The path to success in 2021 can be boiled down to one, simple maxim:

13 words to develop direction in your life

These simple words if taken to heart and applied with aggressiveness will drastically change your life

It may not be right away, 

It may not be a year from now,

It may not be ten years from now,

BUT I challenge you that it will lay the foundation for the life you want to live.

“If you want different results, you're going to need to take different action."

As a show I want to go a little different direction and make a difference in peoples lives by 

Just Strting Your day off right with some positivity like a cup of coffee!

 Take care my friends talk with you soon! 

1. Never be outworked. Always put in 110% of your effort and you won’t be outworked.  Be willing to give everything that you have while competing.

2. Don’t focus on your statistics. Sometimes an off-day can throw off your statistics. So just focus on making the next day a better day.

3. Remember that being the biggest or strongest doesn’t make you the best. The smarter, aggressive, more prepared person will be better – every time! 

4. Have a purpose in everything you do. This will help you not go on “auto-pilot”. Use your practices as a way to prepare you for competitions.

6. Be thankful for the opportunity.  Competing is something you GET to do, not something you HAVE to do. 

7. Be aggressively patient. “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” So just remember big changes or a lot of progress takes time – Make a commitment with yourself to do whatever it takes as long as it takes.

8. Compete for yourself. Don’t live your life for your friends or your parents. Even though there may be pressure for you to be a dr lawyer engineer make sure that it is something that you want, because failure weighs ounces yet regret weighs tons. Compete because you love it.

Here I discus my greatest fears. 

This was a difficult episode for the fact that I get into what some of the hardest things for me to get through in my life. 

Fear is a tough thing, yet when you recognize it and speak to it it becomes smaller. For example if there is a pink elephant in the room and you pretend that it is not there... It is almost like you are walking on eggshells. You tiptoe around the issue and it begins to become a bigger issue. Rather once it is exposed and spoken to, the problem begins to shrink and you are able to move or remove the problem or giant pink elephant in the room. 

What are some of your greatest fears, are yours anything like mine?

Fear Of: 

Letting others in

True intimacy 

Your Age

What others will think of you 

The mistakes of your past 

Relationships

Success or Failure

Telling people your goals and dreams 

Being different or going outside the norm

Not living up to what your family thinks you should do? 

These are some of my greatest fears that I am sharing with you now with the hope to inspire you to make a different choice in your life. 

I desire to Advance Inspire Motivate people to empower them for the betterment of others for the kingdom of God. 

You do not have to believe how I believe, my goal is to share some light and hope that it may look dark now. Yet it does not have to stay this way forever. 

Take care my friends. 

Fear is your greatest guide. 

Fear is guiding you to become more centred, balanced and objective. 

Today, we will learn insights about fear that will help you understand why you have fear and the role that fear plays in helping you to empower your life.

What exactly is fear and how is it guiding you?

Fear is an assumption that you’re about to experience, through your senses or imagination, more loss than gain, more negatives than positives, more pain than pleasure, more disadvantages than advantages, and more risk than reward in the future. 

So, it’s an ASSUMPTION that you’re likely to have a negative experience.

Fear, also referred to as a phobia or nightmare, has philia or fantasy as its exact opposite, and these work together in the same way as magnets with their positive and negative poles.

Let me explain 

There are two sources of fear in a human experience – the fear of loss of that which you seek, and the fear of gain of that which you are trying to avoid. 

In a relationship, you might become infatuated with someone and fear the loss of them. You can’t separate the two – they are like two poles of a magnet. 

So, there’s no such thing as a phobia without a philia. They are inseparably entangled like two poles of a magnet or two quantum entangled particles.

Now imagine you draw a line right down the center where you embrace both the phobia and the philia, the positive and the negative.

In other words, you remain completely neutral and objective with a balanced state of mind. As you neutralize your emotions and go into this reasonable state, you are likely to get to a point where you don’t have a fear of loss or fear of gain.

Your intuition will always try to help you get to that balanced, objective state.

 If you’re infatuated and only conscious of upsides, it will try and make you aware of possible downsides. If you’re only conscious of the downsides, your intuition will try to get you to see the upsides and bring you back into balance.

So, we could say that fear is a valuable feedback mechanism to let you know that you have a polarized perspective. If you neutralize it, you could become even more of your most authentic or balanced self. 

Have you given up on your personal development? 

There are so many "Gurus" out there that will tell you anything to get your money... They say that you need this course or buy my book. The reason I believe that listening to them can hurt you more than help you is because there is no one size fits all, or magic pill when it comes to personal development. 

It seems like now more than ever it is the new thing that everyone is talking about. 

SO what is it? According to the infamous Google, it is "Personal development covers activities that improve awareness and identity, develop talents and potential, build human capital and facilitate employability, enhance the quality of life and contribute to the realization of dreams and aspirations." 

Yah okay what does that actually mean.

I believe that if as a society we realized that personal development is more about becoming the best versions of ourselves we would have a totally different result and people would be more willing to see it for a way to better themselves and others. 

It can become the building blocks and the foundation for your life. Don't you want to get better every single year in your health, business, and relationships. 

I know that I do. I want that dash between the two dates on my grave stone to mean more than living one year over and over again. 

We only get one life, yet if we do it right one life is all we need. 

So my friends, what do you plan to do with the one wild and precious life you have been given? 

What are the things in your life that have stopped you the most? 

Well after talking with hundreds of people I have found that the most common reasons that people do not succeed in achieving their goals are as follows :

1. Being too Cautious 

Not being as aggressive as you could be and letting things pass by. You must go after what it is you want. In life in business in sports you control your attitude actions and aggressiveness. 

2. Being better in practice than the real deal 

Not practicing like you play. Pressure of the real deal can be too much for some people. In order to achieve your success you must be willing to practice like you play and then hold yourself accountable to perform at that level. 

3. Being unconfident 

You must learn how to be confident. If you do not have any yourself, barrow it from someone else to become something else. Barrow the belief and confidence from others to get you to go where you want to go. 

4. Being Unprepared 

Tom Bilyeu from Impact Theory says that being the most prepared in the room is one of the best pieces of advice that he has ever been given. It shows through his interviews and how much he studies to become the best version of himself and deliver that expertise to the world. 

5. Being Doubtful 

Fear has killed more dreams than failure ever has. This quote is an example of what can happen when the seeds of doubt creep into our minds. If our minds are soil, and our thoughts are the seeds, we can either plant flowers or weeds. When you have doubt you will never be able to reach your full potential. 

You only get one life, but if you do it right, one life is all you need. 

Take care my friends. 

Sleep - Top 10 tips how to make you sleep better. 

You know that sleep is important, but why do we sleep, and how do we get better sleep? 

Before we get to the steps that you can use and implement in your life to sleep more, let me explain something first. 

Most healthy people need between 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night to function at their best. I’m a 8 hour kind of guy but it can be difficult to stay in a deep sleep long enough. 

For this reason I have put together these 10 tips that I have learned in order to dramatically improve your sleep.

*1. HYDRATION 

It is so important to get enough water each day! With our bodies being made up of 75-80% water it is paramount to your success that you drink more and get the circulation and oxidization in your body. 

2. Put the phone down an hour before bed

Let’s face it, it’s an addiction. I do my best to keep my phone in a separate room at night. Out of sight, out of mind. The constant notifications and worry of missing out on things sends adrenaline into our bodies which makes

3. Blue Blockers

Exposure to blue light makes the brain think it’s daytime, producing less melatonin. A few hours before bed I wear them to help the production of natural melatonin. 

4. CBD

If I’m still racing at 100 mph from the day or my body is hurting with stress, I take CBD. It calms me down and I sleep deeper.

*5. READ

Reading is a workout for the brain and can use up the last bit of energy which primes the body for deep sleep. 

*6. JOURNAL

Along with reading, journaling influences dreams and the subconscious mind and also gets the final thoughts of the day out. 

7. Sleep Stories

there are many apps and youtube is a great resource for some incredible sleep stories that put me in a deep sleep every time.

8. Keep Cool

Its no secret that when you are cool you sleep better. When your core temp is down your brain is able to relax and repair itself more efficiently.

9. Sleep Mask

Blocks out all light so that no matter what it can be night time. 

10. Ear Plugs

To ensure no distractions, blocking out all sound is a powerful way to ensure constant sleep all night. 

BONUS TIME:  

Go to bed early to get the rest you need! 

Make a routine! (Go listen to Episode #1)

You only get one life, but if you do it right one life is all you need!

Which is more important a morning or evening routine? 

The answer might surprise you, but the answer is the one you do. 

I am a night owl and I have established a routine that is simple and easy to do for 

anyone even if you don't have much time. 

I call it the 3x3! Simple I know, yet it has set me up for success in persuing my goals and 

turning them into reality. 

3 things I do: 

1. I set a timer for 30 min before I want to go to bed and that is my sacred time to unwind recap the day and prepare for tomorrow.

2. I set an alarm and an intention for when I want to get up and command my subconcious mind that I will get up when my alarm goes off without hitting the snooze button. 

3. I set my phone on airplane mode, this makes it so that no one alerts or distractions will come flying in and ruin my evening routine. 

3 things I write: 

Before telling you what I write down each day, let me say this, taking time to journal every day has single handedly helped me to achieve my goals than anything else. If you do not know where to start, or think it is boring, then do not worry you are not alone. 

When I first started I had no Idea what to do or say. So I have developed the rule of 3x3 where I write out three things for three topics and that is it. It becomes sustainable, which after all is what we are going for here right? 

So here we go!

1. 3 Top Ideas of the day

2. 3 Top wins of the day 

3. 3 Top things I am grateful for today

That is it! Now lets connect and discuss further what you do for your routine! 

You only get one life, but if you do it right one life is all you need! Take care my friend.
