Ku Project with Daniel Aipa

It seems that everything you want to do has to follow a specific plan.  But what if your plan doesn't work out the way you thought.  Experts rely on their experience to provide a plan for others to follow in order to achieve a specific result. But the emphasis isn't on the plan.

The emphasis should be focusing on the necessary habits one must change.  By creating new habits that are in line with your goals, you create a life transforming shift that will bring you closer towards achieving your hopes and dreams.

You ever felt like things were going all over the place and that you couldn't get a hold of your life?  As if everything around you was going wrong or not exactly how you wanted.  Then there are times when your to-do list is piled up, you become overwhelmed, don't know where to start, and your day is totally wasted because you feel like you didn't do anything.

I wrote about this topic in my book, Aloha to You, and it's definitely something we can all benefit from practicing.

On this Single Tasking Aloha Friday, Aipa shares his thoughts on the importance of surrounding yourself with strength. He touches upon how listening to podcasts such as, Jason Ferruggia, Pat Flynn, Tim Ferris, John Lee Dumas, and others empower him to become stronger.

"Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see greatness within you, even when you don't see it yourself." - Edmund Lee

"You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with." - Jim Rohn

When you are looking for a little strength to get you over a challenge, an obstacle, or even if you need some help (we all could use a little help), you need to surround yourself with strength even it means you have to get out of your comfort zone.

If you are looking for more strength in your life, the first place to look is the people who you spend the most time around.  If they are negative, bring you down instead of lift you up, and influence bad habits and bad behaviors, you need to re-assess what you want out of your life and think about letting go.

This is hard to do, but you will only become stronger.

It's Aloha Friday, which means it's time for some Single Tasking.  I'm getting great feedback on these shows, so I'll keep them coming.

Today's show we talk about something that many of us tell ourselves and others, that we are "too busy" when the real question should be, "How am I using my time?"

Speaking from experience, you probably make yourself busier than you really should be which takes away the main focus of life which is living it.
