I like to think of myself as a mechanic working to convert my mind into an engine of success. Like a piston pumping back and forth in perfect rhythm, I want my mind to produce the results I want, when I want it, and with predictable consistency. I want this because I understand that my role models did not get that way by making success a one-off mark, but by making it an unshakable habit. (more…)

Writing is my passion, my love. But I didn’t really feel like doing it this month. I was sitting here today trying to understand why I would ever not want to do something that I love to do! I mean, if I can’t get my brain to engage in what I love, how the heck am I going to endure what I hate? As you can see, dear readers, this was a very important question for me to answer.

Have you ever made the mistake of only working on one aspect of your life at a time? I know I have. And every time I make this mistake, I get pain. Insecurity. Restlessness. A depletion in my reservoir of positive emotions.
If you use this kind of strategy, you will always be stuck doing damage control. While you’re busy getting your body exactly the way you want it, your finances may begin to slip. While you’re busy trying to make enough money (does such a thing even exist?), you may find yourself hugging your bank account, instead of the woman you love. If you have to rebuild any part of your life from ground zero, you are creating unnecessary stress for yourself. Not only will progress be harder to come by, but you will have to work your butt off just to restore an area of your life back to its previous state.

Have you lost your job recently? Did you and your girlfriend just break up? Are you feeling ill?
If any of this is true, you might be feeling a little under the weather right now, a bit overwhelmed by the weight of the world. The fact that you will pull through, I have no doubt. I believe that everyone has a vast reservoir inside their soul just waiting to be tapped. But let’s not just pull through, but strut through, in style. I am not suggesting that you ignore the hurricane; I am suggesting that you get indoors and make preparations for the coming harvest.

Most people operate in 1 of 2 modes their entire lives. The first is to be results-oriented. In this mode, people impatiently pine for quick rewards. Some give up as soon as the going gets tough; we call those quitters. Others stress and obsess in short bursts of activity, hoping to god that they figure it out before their willpower runs dry; we call those strivers. Those with a results orientation often lack inner peace because no matter what they have achieved, they never feel like they are enough.
