“The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.” Robert Kiyosaki

This is the #1 personal finance book of all time and after reading it I can understand why. It is finance 101. It is easy to read, basic to understand and for any novice out their looking to improve their financial situation, it certainly will change your perspective on money and how to manage it.

Robert begins chapter one with this, and I quote, “The poor and the middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them.”

Most of us get educated and learn how to work for money. We essential exchange our time for money. Time for me is priceless, and the further I educate myself in order to change my way of living the more I appreciate my time. I dread the thought of giving my time away.

A Thought On The Ego

"If there is anything besides the Self there is reason to fear? Who sees the second? First, the ego arises and sees objects as external. If the ego does not rise, the Self alone exists and there is no second." Ramana Maharishi

Inspired by Ryan Holidays book Ego Is the Enemy comes this thought. You can read my reflection on his book here.

What is the ego? What is my ego? Why is it important to create awareness around this topic?

In this episode I aim to answer these questions. I share my thoughts on why we need to not be fearful nor consider our ego as the enemy but simply be more aware of it.

In awareness may we better be in control of our ego rather then our ego controling us and directing us in ways that are not conducive to living our legend.

The Hidden Why is designed to inspire and assist others to uncover their true Self. Our Hidden Why can be described as our soul, our essence or our core. It is our why. The reason we exist, our purpose.

I believe for many of us, like myself previously, have become so conditioned or domesticated that we have over time covered our essence. We are become disconnected from our why. It is time to reconnect. It is time to remove the cobwebs and dust of the lens to allow our light to once again shine.

It is not as simple as finding a lost set of keys might be however we do all have a WHY! This is the authentic Self that exists within each of us and for each of us is uniquely our own. It evolves as we proceed forward on the journey of this experience of life.

It is on the journey that is our own that we start living with greater Freedom, Fulfilment and Happiness.

What Are Your Daily Non Negotiable’s?

What makes you effective in life? What will take you to the next level? What will allow you to progress towards your highest potential?

In answer to this question you might say that it is your beliefs and behaviours. Who you are today is an accumulation of past. Who you are tomorrow will be decided on what you think and do next.

Effectiveness in reaching your life’s biggest dreams comes by doing those things every day that are critically important. These are your daily non-negotiables. For each of us some will be the same and some different.

These are the habits, rituals and routines that are not only important as to how we desire to be in life but critical to reaching our peak effectiveness. What are yours?

Time to health, time for creativity, time to connect, time to learn, time to do the work. If they are important, if they work, if they assist you to progress, if they make you happy then do them. Schedule them and allow nothing else to intervene. Watch your effectiveness rise.

“If you can live your beliefs through the behaviours that you make daily you will become highly effective and in doing so assist the progression of your highest potential.” Leigh Martinuzzi
