What is often preached but rarely practiced?

A boy was bathing in a river and got out of his depth, and was in great danger of being drowned.

A man who was passing along a road heard his cries for help, and went down to the riverside and began to scold him for being so careless as to get into deep water, but made no attempt to help him.

"Oh, sir" cried the boy "please help me first and scold me afterward."

The man represents all of us.

All of us who are ready to give advice and opinions to people who are struggling. We tend to look down on them to satisfy our ego. We put them down and say “Look how they are struggling” then smack some smug advice in their face. People who are struggling need your help, not your advice.

It’s no wonder that depression and anxiety rates are through the roof.  And why wouldn’t they be? Why would people open up? If all they are going to get is judgment. Let’s just try to understand people who are struggling. Even by just trying and listening to them, you might just give them the support they needed.

How successful people think and how you can improve your thinking to be more successful in your own life!

How can I stop wasting my life and get up?

Stop thinking like unsuccessful people. The only reason you have been stuck for so long is because of your mind. Whenever you try something new your mind is the one that comes up with reasons that hold you back. Reasons that tells you “why it won’t work”.

Your synapses are wired to keep you stuck and small. You have to re-wire yourself to think like successful people. The only way to do it is through repetition.

Whenever the thoughts of why it won’t work come up, Flip the question of “why it won’t work” and ask; How can I make it work?

Whatever it is you are trying, find ways to make it work. Don’t be a victim of your own mind.

Something that will change your life, if you do it!

Every person carries two bags.

One in front of them and one behind them.

The one is the front is filled with other people’s thoughts — “Go get a safe job. Go get married. People who start their business fail.”

The one in the back is filled with your thoughts — “I want to try that business. I want to meet new people. I don’t want to get married”

Your only job to do is to put the bag that’s behind you in the front. Start prioritising your inner voice ahead of the criticism and judgment of other people.

Most negative thoughts are there because you are suffocating your own intuition by listening to false ideals.

How you can change your thinking and behaviour so you can become rich!

What are some good habits to follow to be richer in the future?

Let’s say you have a lemon. You squeeze it hard and get all the juice to yourself. Now you have zero lemons. That’s what poor people do with their assets. They squeeze it all until there is nothing left. And wonder why they don’t have enough lemons. To have more lemons (money), you have to grow more lemons. That’s the first rule of wealth.

#1 Multiplying Captial. 

People start their business in hopes of making money. But, it takes money to make money. If you start a business with no money; you will end up working in a free or low-paying job.

The more you invest in marketing, website, team building, the more you will make. So you need to put money into your business to make something from it.

How do you get this money?

#2 Raise Money. 

The people who complain about not having money to start their business are the ones that aren’t willing to work. There are tremendous opportunities in the market place.

There are freelancing sites, you can learn a skill, babysit, drive an uber, get a job. It’s about doing whatever it takes to raise enough money. It’s a lot of work but if you really want it, you have to do 100 interviews this week.

Change your input to change your outcome. There is no easy way out.

#3 Long-term Wealth. 

Some methods multiply capital faster and some slower. If I spend $10k in my business in marketing the return would be around $100k But If I invest $10k in index funds, I would only make an extra of $2k a year.

You need both slower and faster method in your arsenal. It’s not about making that quick buck. Remember it’s all about multiplying capital (money) in the long run.

#4 Abundance Mindset. 

Even if you start multiplying capital, the vibe you have towards money is crucial. Because if you are in a scarcity mindset, the moment you lose money or there is a problem in your business, you will freak out. You will complain and make rash decisions.

We don’t want that. As long as you have a business you will have problems. Commit to living a happy life that helps you be proactive. Money making is a game and wealthy people enjoy playing it.

#5 Educate Yourself. 

Your relationship, mental health, spirituality, health all need work. Same is with money.

 You need to read books, invest in courses, improve your skills to get better. You have to work to bring in money. You have to find ways to innovate. The learning never ends.

One last thing.

Wealth creation is fun when you do it around something you are passionate about. Make a list you enjoy the most. Rate them from 1–10.

Whatever it is a 10 for you, you will have a blast making money with it. Doing what you love and building wealth with it is real fulfilment.

How you can get anything you wish for!

How do I improve myself?

Become your own genie.

Imagine, if you could get anything you want.

Without any effort, without any delay. Whatever you desire you can have.

What would you wish for? It would be awesome to have that kind of ability, right?

Not so much.

Look at people that get high-levels of success and haven’t earned it.

They are deeply unhappy. They crash and burn even worse.

Why? Because there is no contrast in their life.

It gets boring and miserable very quickly.

So consider that not getting what you want right away, is not a bad thing.

Maybe it’s what makes our lives meaningful.

Whatever you wish for; love, happiness, health, money, you can earn it all.

Look for what roads are open to you. Look for the steps you have to take to get there.

How happy would you be if you just took one step?

You would feel excited and filled with life. You can feel that now.

And start small if you don’t think you can get the big stuff.

What’s one little thing you want? Now, what’s one action step you can take to get there?

It doesn’t have to complicated.

That is what happened to me.

I made one video then another and another and it snowballed into a six-figure business.

I was looking for love, couldn’t find it. Then I started carrying myself differently and it showed up into my life.

Don’t just sit there and wait.

How you can become the person you ultimately want to be and live the life that you have always wanted !

What is the best way to improve life?

Why do you do what you do? Why do you exercise or read or set goals? Because you want certain outcomes in your life. Why do you want these outcomes? Because you think they will make you happy and successful. Will they though? Let’s say you get everything you want, tomorrow. 

That body, that car, that money, you have it all. Now what? Did you change? Did your beliefs about you change? Did your outlook on the world and people change? Did you resolve your trapped emotions? No, you only got the outcome. You didn’t get a transformational journey. No matter what car you drive, you will go to sleep with the same issues you had today.

What do we learn from this thought experiment? The journey is what you should focus on.  Goals, desires, wants, needs are great. But they don’t mean a thing if they don’t change you. A better life means a better you. You have to change as a person. So, whatever you do today, tomorrow and a day from tomorrow. 

Look at who you are becoming. Look at what changes that journey is going to bring in your life. Going to therapy; look at who you will become at the end of your sessions. Working out; look at who will you become if you do it every day. Starting a business; look at who will you become after working on it daily. Focus more on the incremental steps rather than the grandiose goal you are after.

Because if you don’t, you are just chasing clouds.

How you can improve your life and stop feeling so lost by stopping with logical thinking and think about what would make you happy and go from there!

I think I’m lost. I really don't know how to live the rest of my life. I feel hopeless and depressed, with no goals or dreams. What should I do?

Stop with logical thinking. For a second, stop with all the what’s supposed to make you happy. Feeling lost is a “feeling” and we should try to solve it that way. Logic won’t help you because; people who logically have everything right in their life, feel lost too.

I want you to observe whatever comes up, as you read along. There is one way to get out of this emotional abyss. Move closer to the things you enjoy. Not what’s logically right. Not a college, a job, or even friends. The things you low-key want to try but are scared they won’t make you happy and you will be sad.

That’s what you are afraid of, right? Trying something and the sadness that will come if it didn’t work. You are sad anyway. You might as well try it and take a leap of faith. It could be trying out a new sport or traveling or starting to write, starting a side business, asking someone out, cutting off toxic friends.

Whatever you feel like doing, make a list. Do the least scary one first. You will feel a little bit lighter and alive, you will automatically want to try the next one. It’s going to be scary. You will have thoughts ( logic), stopping you from doing this. But stick through. Because you owe that to yourself.

Your life will only get better if you take some different action. No amount of thinking will save you.

Different action towards your feeble yet authentic desires.

I share with you my secrets of how to overcome overthinking and start taking action in your life.

What is the most life-changing mindset?

The mindset of minimum thinking.

A mindset where taking action is preferred over thoughts.

How many times do you look for the right visualization, goal-setting motivational content?

We all want to fix our minds and we should. But it should happen with our actions.

The more time you spend thinking, the less time you have to take real action.

It’s tempting to think about how you will meet the one. Or live in that mansion.

It’s not that tempting to go work on your business or approach a stranger.

But the later is the one that will get you closer. No amount of thinking will get you your goals.

Whenever I am caught up in my head I bring myself to actions.

What action do I need to take to move closer to this goal?

Not visualizing, no affirmations but a real action step.

What are the action steps in your life?

Want to get fit? Eat a little healthier and exercise.

Want to make money? Learn a skill and then trade.

Want to make friends? Talk to strangers.

It doesn’t have to be more complicated than that.

The easiest ways you can change your life for the better.

If you could recommend anything to me, what would it be?

To roll back on your evolution.

Naturally, we are wired to do easy things.

Take the path of least resistance. Which is effective for survival.

But we live in the modern world.

We are looking to thrive not just survive.

We have dreams and wants rather than our fulfilled necessities.

In a world like this, you can’t use your cave-man thinking.

You can’t avoid the hard stuff.

There are times when the only path that will change your life is filled with resistance.

It’s about listening to an audiobook instead of watching Netflix.

It’s about taking to that stranger instead of shying away.

It’s about working out your issues instead of blaming on the other person.

Most people fail to act on the right things and live bleak lives.

They chose what’s easy then blame their circumstances to cope with the guilt of not making the right choice.

The thing is; if you do the hard thing for long enough it becomes easy.

It’s easy for me to make videos now but 5 years back it was really hard.

Same will be for you if you are starting out.

Why you are not getting the results that you want in your life and how you can get them.

If you can give me only one tip to improve my life, what would it be?

The law of sowing and reaping.

When you work for something you want in life, it could be frustrating to not see results.

It’s aggravating to exercise every day but not see any change.

It’s disturbing to work on your business and not see the numbers grow.

We all know patience is key. We all know we can’t get that physique in a week or be financially free in six months.

Yet, this delay is defeating. And makes people give up.

There is a way to make this delay easy to undergo.

The thing about life is; you sow and then you reap.

You don’t get to complain or be mad and have that help you get a bigger harvest.

It just doesn’t happen. Things will take their time.

The only way to deal with this is; have fun along the way.

Fall in love with the process of getting what you want. Not what you want.

Easy for me to say? It’s easy to do too.

If you want to lose fat; It doesn’t have to be 2 hours of lifting weights. It could be playing team sports or swimming. And you will burn the same calories.

If you want to be financially independent; you don’t have to get a promotion in your dreadful job. You could start a side-hustle about something you love.

The journey doesn’t have to be dreadful. Find a process that’s fun to you.

Otherwise, it’s very likely you will quit before even getting close to the results.

Look at your life, how many times have you quit things? Just because you thought the process has to be dreadful.

Learn to have fun along the way.
