Why can't I step out of my comfort zone?

Because we as humans are pretty good at thinking.

We have evolved to stay in our comfort zone.

We are really good at talking ourselves out of why we shouldn’t do the thing that’s uncomfortable.

But guess what all human greatness comes from people going out of their comfort zone.

Look at anyone who has done great things in the past.

We as a species grow and move forward by going out of our comfort zones.

So, how can we fight ‘evolution’ and get out of our comfort zones?

Drop it, Ignore it all.

All the rationalization, all the excuses that your mind makes when you think about going out of your comfort zone.

Realize these are just stories that your mind is telling to keep you where you are and turn these into why you should get out of your comfort zone.

Remember, we are really good at thinking.

If you can think reasons to not do an uncomfortable thing then

You can also think reasons to do uncomfortable things.

Here is an example:

Some people say it’s risky for me to try this business venture because I have kids. I have a family to support.

Flip it on its head and say,

I have kids, by going for this business venture I am teaching my kids to follow their heart, teaching them to be brave.

I am leading by example instead of telling.

Now, that’s powerful right there.

When you are finally using this and take that step to get out of your comfort zone,

Your old excuses and rationalization might come up but remember they are just thoughts,

Let them come up and do what you planned to do anyway.

I share how you can become more successful early in life.

Success is not all about just getting rich. It is about making your mark and being appreciated for your work ethics, hard work and intelligence. People often find short cuts to become rich and do not even hesitate in taking up the unethical ways to reach their goal. Here are a few things that you should to become successful if you are in your 20’s or even older.

People who want to flourish in their career first of all invest all their time and energy in their future. They put in efforts to improve their set of skills so that they can become more valuable to the market and to the people around them. such people have a clear vision and know what they can do to benefit the society and themselves by using the skills they have been blessed with.

Becoming successful is all about utilizing every minute of your life in the best way possible. People who strive to become prosperous do not waste their time on getting education the does not serve or help them achieve their goals. Neither do they waste their time with people who cannot help them in progressing and stop them from achieving their goals. These people choose the right company that will help them in fulfilling their goals and motivate them throughout their struggles.

Most people in their 20’s don’t really know what they want in life. What makes successful people different from the commoners is that since the very beginning they hold a clear vision of the purpose they want to fulfill in their lives and strive to achieve their goals from an early start.

People who want to make their mark invest into things intelligently. Rather than wasting their money on fancy clothes and liabilities, they invest in gaining assts like real estate and things that will bring them profit and ensure smooth cash flow cycles to increase their earnings.

Individuals with a passion to flourish have a strong character and have energy that can light up an entire room. When such people are around, you can feel their strong presence and the positive vibes that come from them. they have a strong personality and approach the life aggressively rather than wasting their time on shying away and are not afraid to take what they want.

Once they have a taste of success, they don’t just stop there. It makes them more hungry and determined to move forward and further achieve their goals. They do not settle once they hit their goals unlike people who achieve something and spend all of their time being happy and celebrating it without focusing on their next goals.

Individuals hungry for success say no to things and people around them who are not aligned with their goals. They are willing to decline and push people away if they are not helping them because for them achieving their target is all what matters.

I share with you the worst advice that could ever be given to you!

Podcast Summary:

‘Play it safe’ is the worst advice you can get

Advice from people close to us is always welcome. After all, they only want the best for us. Still, the ‘play it safe’ advice is the most common one and also the worst piece of advice you can get. By the time you’re done reading you’ll know why.

First things first. What does it mean to ‘play it safe’? Obviously, no one close to you wants your harm or to see you get in trouble. So, the easiest way to prevent you from experiencing failure is to make you believe that keeping trouble at bay is your best solution.

The thing is that if you want a life filled with experience, success and free of regrets, then you have to do the exact opposite. TROUBLE IS GOOD.

Look at it this way; nobody lives forever. And you probably don’t want your last thought to be ‘I could have done more’. So how do you go about it? Well, that depends on what kind of life you want to live.

The whole ‘play it safe’ state of mind is a general rule to live by for those who are not after anything big. Those people are happy with a comfortable life, nothing spectacular. Are you that type of person? Truth be told, most out there are, but if you kept reading so far, then you’re probably not.

If you want to live with excitement and genuine happiness that goes into anything you do, then safety is not something you want to carry all over around with you.

Taking risks is an indispensable part of succeeding in your life. Does that mean that every risk you take is going to be a win for you? No! Of course not. Because failure is also in the game. Still, it’s far better to fail over and over doing something you love than to succeed doing something you hate.

Sure, nobody likes defeat. But you’d be surprised to know that getting beat up in life doing something you truly enjoy gives you a sense of fulfilment – not to mention that you’re still making progress – whereas succeeding in areas that are within your ‘safe zone’ will leave you with that same feeling of misery and emptiness that you had in the first place.

Besides, what does failing mean after all? 

Most people think that failing in any aspect of their lives, for instance a relationship, is a traumatic and haunting experience. In reality it’s the best lesson you can get.

Take a minute to think about it and ask yourself. What is better? Reading about something in a book, or experiencing it in real life?

The verdict:

Don’t lower the level of your life to stay safe and satisfy others. Don’t study to make your parents proud, if it’s not something that will make you proud above all. In other words, don’t try to make others happy at the cost of your own happiness. Keep in mind that life is not forever, so stop living like you’ve got all eternity.

Oh, and next time you consider taking advice from someone, take a moment first to put yourself in their shoes and see if you would trade places with them. If not, then it’s probably best to say ‘Thank you, but no thank you’!

I share with you how you can let go of your laziness towards life and start getting motivated!

Podcast Summary:

When I was depressed and had social anxiety the biggest thing that I noticed was that I was in a constant state of apathy, which is the lowest level of consciousness that you could be in. It means that you are kind of lethargic, self-loathing and you're just laying around being a victim you don't even want to try, you're not even upset or angry, you have just accepted your fate and you're sitting there defeated by life.

No wonder you're lazy or unmotivated your whole train of thinking is based around feeling like there's 'nothing' you can really do.  

The quickest way to snap yourself out of it is not through 'trying' to be joyful and happy, or even to set goals that you want to accomplish. 

Don't try to force yourself to be motivated and passionate.

What you need to do is to get angry at life and how you've been living so far. You need to say 'Enough is Enough'. This, personally, is what completely changed my for the better. One night while I was sitting there playing video games, at the time I was a janitor, I thought "that's it, I want to make something of myself, I want to make a difference in the world." Not because I was inspired and happy or that everything was perfect and going my way, but because I got pissed off.

I decided enough was enough, "I'm not going to stay where I am anymore, I don't want to keep experiencing this." It just felt like I had no real control of my life.

I'm not saying you to revolutionise the way you're thinking or make some kind of magic switch in your mind, you don't have to take a magic pill that's going to make everything feel much better. You simply need to get very angry at yourself, angry at everything around you, angry at where you are in your life and say that "enough is enough" and it's time for you to step up!

You have to stop repeating the same old patterns because clearly, they are not making any difference to the way you feel about yourself and the life you are currently living. 

The moment that you get really angry something awesome happens, you start to feel this little pull deep inside of yourself, it pulls you to take action, because now you have the energy necessary to make changes. 

If you are in constantly in a state of apathy it is over, but the moment you get pissed off at your life you're going to do something about it. 

Simply look at the areas of your life that you want to improve, what you want to accomplish and start thinking about at least one thing that you would really like to experience. For me personally, it all started with getting rid of my own social anxiety I just decided that I was not going to feel like I couldn't talk to, or, connect with people. So I just worked on that one skill purely because I felt like I'd had enough of being a shy guy. 

Further down the line, you will find that there will be many opportunities to improve your way of thinking, you can decide that you're going to be a high consciousness type of person. You could meditate and work out, and have great habits that would help you to improve. But it has started with you getting pissed off with your current situation! 

Countless celebrities account their success to that one day in their life, or even one moment, where they said: "That's it, I don't want to live like this anymore."

When you finally get sick of your sickness; that's the day that turns your life around.

I give you my best advice towards having a successful career from my own personal experience.

I dropped out of college when I was 18 years old.

I decided I didn’t want to collect a debt to work a job I hate.

After that, I struggled.

I could barely make enough money to survive. I drove people to their parties or babysit or chop wood.

All these gigs just to get by. I also got a job as a Janitor.

That was 6 years ago. Now I am a certified life coach and financially secure.

What led to this change?

I figured out a career path for myself and hope I can do the same for you with this advice.

Right now you must be getting tons of career advice from different sources.

Maybe people telling you to get a safe respected job like a doctor or engineer.

Maybe an online guru asking you to buy his course and make money while you sleep.

In all this noise how do you find what's right for you?

The most important thing you need to focus on is what are your likes.

Is it dance? Is it some sports? Is it art?

Whatever gives you some joy that’s what you need to nurture.

I am not saying to completely quit everything and dance yourself to being broke. Nope. Start transitioning into it slowly.

Maybe upload one dance video a day or open a dance blog.

Putting time into that thing daily is important because that’s how you can build an income around that.

That’s what happened for me.

I started uploading one self-help video every day. I polished my skills and now I get paid for it.

I share with you how you can become less stubborn in life!

What should you not waste time on in your twenties?

1. Neglecting health: Your body can’t party the same as it used to do in college. Start taking care of it!

2. Getting married: Trying to get married or finding the perfect soulmate. Meaningful relationships take years to form. Focus on that. It’s better to form one before marrying.

3. Collecting debt: I am talking about collecting massive debt on your credit cards by maxing them out. Learn basic personal finance.

4. Comfort zone: Waiting for the right time to do something you want. You have been doing that since you were a teen. Snap out of it. If not now then when?

5.Seeking approval: As we grow old we trap ourselves into false responsibilities and making sure everyone approves of what we are doing. It’s a trap.

6. Dead-end job: Not saying all jobs are bad but if you think there is something better for you slowly transition into that.

7. Being stubborn: Trying to make things look a certain way. It sounds insignificant but I experienced a massive transition when I finally let go of this one.

We see how to accelerate your personal growth and finally do some real in your life with a personalised plan!

How can I accelerate my personal growth efficiently? 

Think like a laser, not like the sun. Let me explain.

Most people engage in self-help because they should. Because they should be “growing” and “improving” themselves. How do you expect to improve if you don’t know what you are trying to improve? Personalise your self-help habits according to your needs, not the should's.

Most people have a specific problem but are consuming solutions for all other problems in the world. 

If you are overweight or not fit it’s best not to read “Think and grow rich” or “How to win friends and influence people”. It’s best to consume content related to fitness.

If you are someone who has a lot of money and time it’s best to read investing books not the money making books. If you are struggling with money it’s best to read marketing and sales books. See what I am talking about? Write down all the specific issues you have in life and try to solve only one of them.

Revolve your self-help content around that one problem and its solutions. It’s okay to have multiple issues but solve one at a time. Have a laser-like focus.

If you ignore this simple fact then you will end up like the majority of people in self-help, trying without any results.

One problem at a time and your life will quickly start to sort itself out :)

I share with you how you can create the perfect relationships in your life.

What can I learn in 10 minutes that can help my marriage last forever?

First, realize that what you see in movies isn’t true. That magical fairytale love where everything always works out is not a reality. If that reflected reality we wouldn’t write them in the first place.

Even when it’s true love and you feel she or he is the one for you, a relationship requires constant nurturing. What’s this constant nurturing? How do we do it?

The key to creating perfect relationships is transparency. Full honesty, where there is nothing hide.

Even if you are angry with your partner or happy with them, angry at your job, stressed about finances. Worried about them leaving you, insecure about something.. on and on…whatever it is converse it out. 

It’s a hard thing to do but has the biggest payoff. Stop playing poker with your life and lay out all the cards. Stop with the mind games. If you want to create a true, long-lasting relationship this is the formula, guys.

Why is transparency so important? Once you become fully transparent with each other, it’s almost like the relationship becomes immortal.

No matter what happens or how hard it gets you always have a possibility to work it out. why? Because you are honest with each other. Even if you fight you can resolve it because guess what you are honest in that fight too.

It only takes one person to start this :)

I share with you how you can become the real you and know you are worth something!

What are the behaviours of a confident person?

1. Avoiding gossip: Confident people don’t talk or judge other people because they already feel good about themselves.

2. Eye-contact: They aren’t afraid to look people in the eye.

3. Scary things: They aren’t afraid to go out of their comfort zones and do the things that scare them.

4. Social media: They don’t post everything they do on social media because they don’t care about other people’s approval.

5. Insecurities: Even confident people have insecurities but they accept it and try to improve it.

6. Self-help: They know they're worth and are always looking to learn new things.

I share with you why you shouldn't be chasing money and how you can obtain it instead!

What is the most overrated pleasure? Why?

The pleasure of making a lot of money. The idea of hustle 24/7 and make money online to be happy.

Yes, money is great. It gives you freedom and options but the real fulfillment is in how you make money. I am not saying don’t make money. Let the money come in it’s good but fix this detrimental flaw. The problem is with how you make money.

I am talking about the idea that there is this one marketing course you have to buy and then only you can make money.

There is this online-guru you should listen to and their way is the only way.

You can make money doing anything. So why not do what you enjoy? I am talking about doing the work that’s fulfilling to you and get paid for it. Not grind, hustle, be miserable and then get the money at the end. I can’t make money a lot of money writing; of course, you can. I can’t make money by doing art; of course, you can. Whatever it is want to do chances are people are already making money doing it. Why not do more of that? Why grind and hustle doing the wrong thing?

Chase the process and money will come on its own.
