How often are you tricked to believe that something is the truth when it was really just opinion? See, the problem the masses typically face is that they think that what they think is right IS right. In which any other deviant view, act, thought or words used against their perspective can hold no standing but the label of "wrong". It may be difficult to catch yourself in the act, but the sooner you realize the fuel for your tank has been "bias" and not "intention", the better, it could ruin or stall the engine.

This episode will sway you to believe that some things I say are the truth, let me assure you right now, if there's anything I say subjectivley - IT IS NOT THE TRUTH. Don't let opinions blur your scope of vision.

Many people may now know what they want...

Maybe even why they want it, which is great.

It's very important to have your reasons.

Though without the "how", without the means, without the strategy, there is no point in embarking on the journey.

Be certain.

Be clear.

Identify the best and be warry of the worst.

Know that you are your worse distraction, your worse deterrent, your worse excuse, your worse obstacle.

Please. Stop getting in the way of leading the best life you can live.

Please. Just be your best self today!

We all like to claim that our ultimate goal in life is happiness - joy - contentment. We all make claims we don't live up to. We all set goals we never get close to achieving. We want to make changes that are promising - that are impactful.

This episode is far different than the rest. With a fair amount of poetry and a unique flow, fairly rhythmic and with the same properties of the best life we could and should live.

Optimum applies to more than just the physical, but to practicality, to ourselves, to our circumstances to our state. To what we strive for, to what we seek for.

This is it.

What is a greater priority than happiness?

Listen on.

Is waiting really ever enough? Or ever even effective?

I'm not saying that you should instead be getting irritated that you haven't gotten what you wanted yet, I'm making it clear that it would be far more effective to start or continue on working what you want right now - with direction and clarity. Have hope but use it and define it cautiously. Hope not for instant gratification but instead for everlasting joy, and use hope as an incentive, as a motive, and not treat it as a given reality. Realize that what you have not been grateful for and ask yourself if you even deserve to hope for more when you haven't even conceptualized how much you already have.

Want to dissolve the hopelessness out of the fluid concentration of your ambitions?

Out of your life?

Listen on.

Paradox. Hypocrisy. Antonyms.

The Opposite.

Living in a constant, persistent feedback loop from hell. Leaving our environment and circumstances to set us up for failure from our own doing.

Regrets. Epiphanies. Realizations.

Inevitability.

Betterment is always in our hands but we keep dropping bits of it on the floor and end up with worsening.

Want to learn how to avoid this and ensure an optimal life?

Listen on.

Yes or no.

Sorry to tell you, but "maybe" literally does not exist in practice. This episode really hits the core; very hefty and upfront. This will certainly challenge and perhaps alter your way of thinking about actions and execution.

WARNING: This will be very personal!

It may actually hurt to listen to the truth surrounding your inhibitions and what is lacking. If anything, fast-forward to the 9 minute mark - this is where the information seems to get quite intense.

Live with intention. Live prosperously. Live decisively.

This is your life!

So what's the cause of your problems? Why are you so dissatisfied? It must be someone else's fault, right?

Wake up.

It's your fault and it always has been. This should sound quite brutally upright, it most certainly is my fault that I have these problems as well. It's ultimately you who chooses what and who you bring into your life, or at least how you respond to it all. Don't succumb to a discontent life just because you feel a lack of liberty, realize right now that you are sitting in the driver's seat, I just ask that you take the wheel. Embark on a trail which differs from your usual one and define your own optimum by first identifying what it is that is stopping you from doing so. Think of the title "deterrents" as that which prevents, slows, demotivates or ultimately stops you from achieving what you want; from attaining what you want to have.

Its up to you. Don't ever settle. Always strive for more... you live this once.

Stuck? In your ways, in your thinking, in your mindset, in your inhibitions? Complacent in your relationships and your job and your faith? Why are you sitting around hoping and not acting? This episode of the superlative podcast presents alternatives to our previously held views and switches on a light you didn't know was there. In a dialogue held between guest Robert Zuccarello and myself, ideas of indoctrination found in the core of societal expectations hit the surface. Lose not your ambition and desire for positive changes because you misinterpret falsifications for truth or interpret truths as undeveloped opinions. There are underlying factors and concrete evidence for possibility for optimization likely where you have never looked. Lying beneath layers of self-talk and doubt are these answers ready to be sought for, allow yourself to keep removing the first few until you find it. Robert defines superlative, discusses some views on normality and speaks of defying the system to allow an optimal life. Listen to learn more - all concepts are universal for everything in life.

Seeing any changes? Are you letting circumstances control you or vice versa? perhaps you're living strung up in the average systematic and conformist view of actuality. With a cracked lens most of us view the world and attempt to rationalize why everything is so problematic and left out of our control. Well, it's about time you let the excuses subside. Self-talk and justification - grant it no more time. Its time to learn about exploration, experimentation and examination - three philosophies I follow to allow optimization in my life. Though kept to myself, the audience would be kept from substantial information that can swiftly alter your perception. No more shall you question the unquestionable, let certainty persuade you proceeding. Let mediocrity fall away and be displaced with a spot in the top 1% of the top 1%. This is your life, remember? Don't allow skepticism to hold you from predestination.

You can't improve your life by coasting, with questionable assumptions about the means to. You have to identify what it is you have to add, to take away and to change. What will make your definition of success? It's time to examine. This episode of the superlative podcast focuses on the identification of the factors that allow optimization, or rather prevent you from it. Optimization is becoming your best self. Now define Superlative for yourself.
