The Secret of Self-Esteem

Shouldn’t you feel like that all the time?

How to deal with Bad Things.

It’s the little things in life that make the biggest difference.

We work hard, go to school, meet the right person (or wrong person) and get married. We believe we have  control over our lives, that it is all self directed, I’m going to disagree.

We have control in the situations we are put in, absolutely and I believe ultimately we have the freedom to choose in any situation. What I don’t believe is that we have control over the little things in our lives that can make wild changes in our direction.

Earlier this year, a friend of mine was in Africa. While there she took a 2 day trip to the Indian Ocean, I advised her to stay an extra day and relax. She refused, stating that she needed to get back to her work and didn’t really need the extra time off, we bickered back and forth till finally she decided to stay an extra day. For what it was worth I’m not sure why I argued with her so much about staying longer, it really had no bearing on me and wasn’t really that much of a deal. The next day she awoke to learn that this was the bus she was supposed to be on.

Over half of the passengers were killed, including all of the people in the front of the bus, where her seat had been reserved.

The Zone – By Apex

The Zone
By: Apex

“Suddenly I was nearly two seconds faster than anybody else, including my team mate with the same car. And suddenly I realised that I was no longer driving the car consciously. I was driving it by a kind of instinct, only I was in a different dimension. It was like I was in a tunnel.” –Aryton Senna, 3-time Forumla 1 World Champion

There’s a feeling that everyone has. It is difficult to experience, and even harder to describe. It’s that moment where everything you do is almost supernatural – things happen before you make them happen, all your goals seem to achieve themselves, and you can’t be stopped. This is your flow, your zone, your state.

It’s amazing when it happens. You’re on top of the world and you can’t be stopped. Everything you set out to do seems to happen on its own, beyond your control. You’re operating at full throttle, but it seems like you can accomplish so much more. You’re a passenger on the ride to success, but you reap all the rewards. You’re “in the zone” and you can’t be stopped. Read the rest of this entry »

Act Outside The Box

Tim
The success gurus would argue that most extremely successful people have at least one thing in common: they think outside the box. Tim Ferris would go further and say that they ACT outside the box.

Every time you do something that is outside of your comfort zone, you grow as a person. Your sphere of what you’re afraid of shrinks, and you gain a confidence and adaptability that you didn’t have before.

In The 4-Hour Workweek, Timothy Ferris talks about acting outside the box and how to gradually step outside your comfort zone, and even assigns Comfort Challenges to his readers. Here are two from his book you can try to get used to not acting like everyone else:

“Success Leaves Clues”

Tony

“Success leaves clues”

This simple quote changed my life.

I remember hearing Tony Robbins’ say this in his Personal Power II audio series, on my mp3 player. I was driving my motorcycle on a small back road in Vietnam, focusing on weaving in between the herd of water buffalo, so it didn’t really register when I heard it.

Top 10 Ways To Meet the Woman/Man of your Dreams:

BenchI was walking to the store one day and happened upon a broken down bus full of Supermodels. They instantly realized that I was a really cool and unique guy, many of them professed their love for me, but alas I had to pick one. Out of the two dozen beauties, I chose the one I liked best, she was everything I had ever dreamed of, she loved beer, football and even enjoyed watching me play video games. I asked her to marry me, she said yes and since then everything has been perfect.

Unfortunately everything after “I was walking to the store one day” is not true. In fact life doesn’t work like that, because if it did we’d all be dating supermodels, and driving million dollar cars.

Together lets say it out loud: “my dream girl Is NOT Going to fall into my lap” furthermore nothing falls in your lap not your dream job, not your dream car, nothing you dream of. It’s going to take “effort” and “dedication” if you don’t think you have those then you should stop reading and head over www.collegehumor.com and waste some time watching pointless videos of stupid undergrads.
Still with me? Good. Relationships, Jobs, Life the list goes on. these things all have one thing in common. If you want a good one you are going to have to step out of your comfort level, you are going to have stop doing what you are doing and make something out of yourself. Grab your balls (or ovaries) and let’s go

10 ways to meet the person of your dreams:

  1. Are you a Runner? a Baseball player? Into cars? You probably won’t meet a person with similar interests at clubs and bars. There are too many people there and the odds are not stacked in your favour. So let’s stack the odds, how? By joining a community group, association, or a start attending events that are all related to what interests you. Meet someone that is interested in fine art at a art show, wine at a wine tasting, baseball at a baseball game. Sounds crazy doesn’t it? Oh wait, not at all. Read the rest of this entry »

Every one of us is in Las Vegas

VegasWe’re all in Las Vegas, right now. You, me, everyone.

The casino that we’re playing at has given each of us a very high bankroll to do with what we please. The agreement is that we don’t have to pay back what we lose, but we get to keep and enjoy everything that we win. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? What would you do, if you knew you had nothing to lose?

This is the mindset you need when going out to approach women.

How to use your Subconcious mind

We’ve all been been trying to remember a song title, a movie name, etc. After searching your active memory you give up and state:

“It’ll come to me”

Have you ever thought about that process? You just completely drop a subject and an hour or so later your subconscious mind delivers the answer to the tip of your tongue…

“Highway to the Danger Zone”

“What?” your friends reply

“That song I was trying to remember earlier, it’s called Highway to the Danger Zone, Kenny Loggins sang it, and it’s from the Top Gun Soundtrack”

Let’s stop and think about this process for a moment, you think of a problem, you ask yourself what the solution is and then it escapes your conscious thought where it descends into the mechanics of your subconscious. You might go to the gym, have an important meeting or have sex, things that are far removed from that issue and then as if someone tapped you on the head with the magic wand or memory you instantly know what answer is.
