Today I woke up in a bunch of pain. I immediately awoke and turned my Fitbit towards me so that I could glance at the time. It was 2 AM! I was so damn tired, couldn't sleep and I had to be up early, I had to tell myself that things would be okay otherwise my day would already be thwarted! I quickly made the decision to

Overcome the frustration.

Ego - My ego was hurt I couldn't workout I felt weak and let it trickle down into other areas. It created arguments over petty things because it was already just completely ready to defend itself.

Expectation - I expected things to pan out quickly, I also expected things go to smoothly. I expected to have a good day and I expected to keep persistently trying to make it perfect.

Excuse - It made me use excuses like I was above the experience I was trying not to let it affect me so much that it I'm turn affected every single decision and every intention within that decision.

- So what did I do?

I asked myself those questions and I took a step back. I relaxed my mind and allowed my ego the freedom to explain but not the power to control. So take your time. This takes practice. But as I always say, you can lessen the dissonance between what you say and what you do but just focusing each day on something more than you did yesterday.

Maybe this is truly the reason behind why I haven't attracted success quite yet..

To be honest I've always felt this way. I feel like I don't mean much to people even though they assure me I'm a great father and wonderful person, but I just always feel like I do nothing right. I feel as though I feel too much and even worse than that, I feel like if I were to be open about any of what I do feel it simply puts people in an uncomfortable and inconvenienced position.

I'm the only person that can combat the evil presence within that keeps telling me I'm nothing and that I don't deserve happiness. There has always been this amplified voice within my head that fools me into thinking things that are not real. I feel like we can all get this voice inside of us. We over exaggerate things and become emotional. Maybe it's my own entitlement for self worth and externalized happiness. Either way why do I always feel like I'm failing? Why is it that no matter how hard I try, everything gets in the way of me pursuing my dreams.

Is it selfish to try staying up extra hours in the night to read and write and journal and think? I feel like it is...

Is it wrong to wake up at 3 every morning to workout, consume more positivity, meditate and constantly try to figure this out?... I feel like it is...

Is it wrong to just feel proud of myself and happy for others and to just be kind?... I feel like it is...

Is it wrong to try my best and fail at things without yelling at myself for not being able to get things done right away?... I feel like it is...

Is it wrong to not badger myself over the things I cannot do well and for the mistakes I've made in the past?... I feel like it is...

Is it wrong to forgive myself and try my best everyday to just be a better person overall?... I feel like it is...

Is it wrong to try and just be present and be grateful all of the time?... I feel like it is...

Because truth be told I feel guilty inside. I feel guilty for pursuing. I feel guilty for wanting to be more everyday. Like it is a cursed light switch flipped on and I cannot find a way to dim it in order to shut it off. I am no where near where I want to be but I'm extremely happy where I am and proud of myself for what I've been able to accomplish this far. I've truly done all I can with what I have and continue to do so...

Yet I feel like a bad person for that. I feel like a failure for wanting to be kind. I feel stupid for wanting to give love to everyone. I feel like I don't deserve the happiness I want to give to others. I feel like my intentions are never going to be worthy for anyone...

...And at the same time I do feel that my potential will be pursued once I reach the level of patience and preparation required for any sort of opportunities to capitalize on. I just I want to listen and keep being present.

Whether I die today or 50 years from now I'm just so tired of feeling like I'm disappointed in myself. Everyday I wake up and have to try so hard to reform my decision making abilities to always combat the villains of life. Some people can just go about life as normal and I cannot. I feel misunderstood probably 99.9% of the time, and the rest is me going about regular daily life. I feel like that is going to be my leverage one day but for right now maybe it's just the toll that needs to be paid. Maybe this is the final stretch.

All I can do is keep putting one foot in front of the other and continue to push forward because the fact of the matter is, not all days are good... But not all nights are bad. It is very often that we learn more from the depths of darkness than we do the cascading blindness of the light. Regardless though this is my journey, and I am the path. It begins within us. It ends without us, and what we do in between either cancels out or creates a difference. That's just simple math.

This Episode is my interview with @inspiredbytonevic and if you don't know who he is, This is such an inspiring individual and mentor! As well as such a great talk! And so I'll leave you with this... Life is peaks and valleys, and when we can realize take down the facade of pride and ego we can strip away our limits. Open yourself to growth by going through the valley. Take the challenge and the opportunity. Everyday is a new day to become more than you were yesterday and even if it's one step today it will compound eventually and turn it into that vision. Just keep doing and keep trying, you will find not only what speaks to you but what sparks the soul and eventually calls to you. Just remember to share it so you can begin to surround yourself with the right people that will support you and help cultivate the potential you see for yourself. .

Picture yourself in the fourth quarter of a championship basketball game. The score is tied and there are two seconds on the clock. You are absolutely exhausted and drenched in sweat. Your calves begin to cramp.The coach says he is keeping you in...Your palms begin to sweat and the butterflies wings begin... He says, "Hit the shot and let's go home."

Do you accept the responsibility and believe you can make it happen or are you so riddled with fear that you think you may not be able to pull through for the team?

I have such clarity but feel so lost still... In this episode I'll explain why, I'll also go into depth about the book "A Love Worth Giving" by Max Lucado and also I'll breakdown story telling and what I've learned about how to do it correctly so far! Also, don't forget to like the page and put in your two sense on the latest story! So for roughly the last four years I've put in so much work by painting almost a house a day every Monday through Friday. When I say "A house a day" I mean by myself, just me and my effort and thoughts, which eventually manifested into doubts and fears. Before that though, the reason that for four whole years I was able to sustain these three and sometimes four bedroom giants alone, done fully in eight hours or less, was mainly because the effort was being fueled by faith.

• Faith fueled my effort, and that effort fed my faith...The more I actually dug into myself and what I was being more called to I realized how much effort I was wasting. My faith is instead being called to this! This very piece of writing that I'm sharing with you all. I used to focus on this crazy outcome in a truth within a story that was not mine. Upon my new realization I broke myself off and have been insanely fulfilled. The vulnerability and humility in doing that allowed me to finish the last part of my book which is putting together the final stories! I've consistently been podcasting almost a year now! And as I've gone I've kept pushing to learn more and add more! So much clarity and now I am configuring the ACTUAL BLUEPRINT!

• My Problem NOW Is...

I don't know how to go about this next phase?..

All I do know is that hope is not in my vocabulary when I am writing, or when I'm creating, or when I'm asking those deep questions that got me to this very inclusion! Again, I have clarity in my story, in my book, in my brand, in my future offers and products! I just have absolutely no idea what to do next other than continue to keep doing and remaining actively patient. I love writing and I love creating and maybe someday someone will stumble across one and it will just hit them right to the core! I just want to leave people with a positive and "In-Spirit" experience when they speak with me, or get that feeling as though they can do what they always saw themselves doing but never had the guts to try! • My Solution... For Now...

I want to continue to experiment and build and write and create and I welcome anybody that is wanting to be apart of my journey as well! It truly is about who you become on the journey way more than it is about what the end of it looks like. Sometimes that is peace within itself. GoodVibes!

Be specific about the goal.

Cultivate empathy for others.

I Do this by...

• Strengthening Relationships...

And in order to strengthen them, I must...

- Maintain Presence

- Audit Exposure

- Become Familiar With Emotion

First, Specification...

Sometimes we may say "oh yeah I want to make an impact", but if we're not specific about what kind of impact and how then we can just as easily make a negative one on others such as a spouse if we take more time building a business instead of building listening. Or perhaps a negative impact on the business or any sort of execution because we are spreading ourselves too thin.

It all comes down to specification. Yes there is a certain level of tolerance in routines but the goal of life is getting up when you fall down. I too am working on this all the time. Trying to be as specific as I can about what I truly want to see happen with everything that I do. Regardless of the result within that shapeshifting vision I recognized a pattern.

• Maintain Presence

It's about the cycles of the passing tides and revolving suns. We are more alike with nature than I think we care to believe. If you look up the vast amounts of financially successful people in the world in all genres there are many commonalities that are discussed but the one thing I've found that is not discussed on a deep enough level is the power of the present moment. When we get lost in this place of refuge and solitude within our own mind enough to get completely enveloped to the point where it is almost slow motion and you can just feel every ounce of bliss in the creation, that is when you receive your potential. Then once you add some self belief in the mix we can all truly be off to the races. That was brief but I do go more in depth about this in my upcoming book! Also there is...

• Audit Exposure

That's the difference between the successful and unsuccessful. If you are wanting to take a step further what is your version of success in general? Most people think it's the attention or acknowledgement or even solely the affirmation from others. Some just put their focus onto money and cars but at the end of the day what I believe is that it's our reflections.

Can you put the mirror up to yourself? Or can you only shine that mirror on others and keep comparing yourself to these false and imaginary beliefs that may or may not even be what you're really after. Any judgement we do cast is only our own insecurities within self.

Also what do you believe is even possible? Do you believe the person you idolize on television or through social had the exact same resources you had? Not exactly. Sometimes there are rare cases but even using myself as an example I used to idolize Eminem, the globally famous hip hop rapper. Now I do not idolize anyone but learn from everyone as use them as mentors. It has changed though from Eminem to people such as Aubrey Marcus or David Meltzer or even Tony Robbins. What called me to these people was because I was so tired of being broke. It wasn't until I dove deeper that I exposed an untapped knowledge I now crave more than any new song that comes out. There are certain things I've taken from others. Pieces of what worked for them at times where they experienced things that were similar to me. It is impossible to just simply match a persons life because we all have different circumstances in which we're placed. However if you can find the people and ideas that are relative to you and execute on the parts of their lives that are similar. Don't just assume everything works out for everyone because you could love being an entrepreneur one day and then turn around and absolutely love being the coach of your child's sports team. Things change. So don't limit your self believe and remain open minded with who you are versus who you want and allow yourself to become. At the end of the day we are who we hang around. So surround yourself with others that make you learn and grow and be better tha

In spirit. Not motivation. What truly inspires you? For me it is about potential. It's about unlocking what could be, tapping into the unknown and really trying to ask the deep questions of life, to really be in the most present state of mind and to be able to use love as my driving force.

I want to become a catalyst for those that feel as though they are heroes inside but have not had a mentor or guide yet. I want to inspire others to use their adversity to point them in the right direction. It's always been there for me. To teach what I may not have wanted to face then but what was needed to know now.

What I feel is the story is cliche but the execution is never seen through. When you can find what speaks to your soul that is when you can be in spirit enough to truly create and see abundance and joy and above of all... Love.

For so long I punished myself, and I took it out on the ones that were closest to me. My fiance, my kids, my family. I got in my own way like I feel we all can. Except I allowed my sense of control to get the better of my ego. It ate all of that expectation up and just wanted more and more and sooner or later that built up expectation and false idea of control can lead to self sabatoge and ultimately self destruction.

It's important to realize one decision can completely shift and alter your life. So why not take advantage of every opportunity to make it a good alteration? It does take an incermountable amount of work to maintain poise of the mind but if it is worked on the dissonance between your thoughts and actions become whittled down so you can have that inept ability to recenter and be aware in conciousness enough to change the direction of the decision. Using in spirit can help with this incredibly!

What inspires you?

What speaks to you?

What do you believe is possible?

What gets you so lost in the craft itself that you don't care what anyone thinks or says?

One thing I noticed that has always been a reoccurring theme in my life aside from progression is connecting different ideas and perspectives to create one foundational belief system that allows the results I want but in form of process instead of outcome.

Why is this important... Well significance is the fact that life is an ongoing cycle of ups and downs. Much as a heart beat experiences the same ups and downs in order to keep us alive. Much as the water uses the precipitation cycle to keep our ecosystem running. Much as plants and trees utilize photosynthesis in order to play it's part in our life cycle. With that being said we are more than we give ourselves credit for and I just want to help others realize that even if you're a lower class person trying to better themselves or the next CEO of a future company you will have to do the same exploration of self otherwise that life will be very short lived. There are prerequisites to this abundance mindset and the sooner we tap into becoming potential driven and not result driven things will never fully change internally. You could have the world and feel nothing inside. Or have nothing and feel the world inside. That perspective however is all based on how you choose to look at it.

Not to be morbid or completely negative but I do think about death quite a bit. Maybe this is healthy and maybe it isn't, but it's what I do. Not in like a suicidal sense, although I have had those thoughts in the past. I cannot judge that though, I've come really far. Anyways I'm getting off topic. The way I view death now is getting more graciously fearful. It seems as though it's just one of those concepts that allows you to gain perspective at every moment but also feel as though time is almost up. I have always hated feeling pressed for time and maybe it's because I would always wait last minute or maybe just my constant need for control has always kept me feeling like I need to have time at my disposal. Geez I think too much... Nonetheless, my point is I feel grateful to be on the planet. Everytime I get in an argument within myself or with my fiance or someone or something else I keep coming back to the thought of, who will be at my funeral? What will everyone remember about me after I pass? I already know that people don't get praised too long after their passing but would it be just a few hours and a service and then majority of people go back to the daily tasks of the world? I used to think that I wanted attention. I used to think that I wanted fame. Now I think I just want to be remembered, and maybe that's why I want to make such a positive impact in as many people individually as I can. Not for the attention when I'm alive but for the lessons I can put out for others after I'm gone. It took someone else to point out to me that the content I have posted and all of the writings I have done and songs I've made are all memorable pieces of me that I will leave for everyone after I am no longer on this Earth. I will leave my children with videos and writings of my thoughts of who I was while I was still breathing. I don't care about money. Of course I care about making sure my family is taken care of but I feel maybe that's why I never want to do or buy or get anything for my benefit. I only need what I have. I have taken advantage of people and manipulated people. I have made mistakes but to judge myself for my past decision making is taking away from the memories I can create now and not allowing me correct all of the wrongs I have done in the past. To leave a legacy for myself and for my family, and to be proud of the life I chose to lead and not just conform to! I have often thought of not writing or expressing myself at all because nobody truly cares whole heartedly about what I do aside from me, but for some reason when I view the fact that I'll always have reflections of myself at different moments in life I can't help but to believe that I can maybe help others learn as well and know that they are not and will not ever be alone in the ways that they feel. I feel like I've never fit in, and to be quite honest I feel I've had to put a mask on for everyone because my true open self has always been looked at with confusion and judgement as opposed to acceptance and loving curiosity. I don't know why I am the way I am but I just know I am who I am. I know it's naive to think that others do not feel this way I'm sure this is a common problem for most people. However I just want to be a good human being and a loving father and husband. I just want to make a positive difference in the world. I want people to grow because that's where the transformation is. Not in wishing for things to get better and planting unruly expectations on every outcome you try to put into your bucket list. I recently listened to the Aubrey Marcus podcast, as I do daily, and famous recording artist and even more amazing human being Mike Posner was on there discussing his journey. He discussed all of his success and how it never made him as fulfilled as he thought it would, then at the height of his Ibiza song his father passed of brain cancer and good friend Avicii ended up passing as well. It opens your eyes to others such as Robin Williams hav

In this episode I talk about where I've been the last couple of weeks on social, as well as why you shouldn't tie your identity to outcome or expectation as well as taking accountability for what your decisions have manifested into in order to redirect your focus and drive! Please do not hesitate to let me know that you listened and if you got any value at all from this I hope this can resonate in any way! Goodvibes and I'm really excited for what is to come!
