Letting Others In…

If you follow my Facebook page, you know the posts are frequently about the philosophies and rules I live by. Recently I posted the statement: “Don’t share your problems with people who can’t help solve them. That’s just wallowing in victimhood.” As expected, it got a lot of likes and shares. But it also got something else…

Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life

You must become mindful enough to think about what you think about. Ultimately, you must become the thinker of the thought. That is when you start to access the inherent power within your being. The day that happens, eat some birthday cake because that’s the day you are truly born.

Take the #2021Challenge

Today, I have some homework for you. I want you to write something. A journal entry of your perfect day. But not just any perfect day. This entry will be dated January 1, 2021. And it’s going to be a celebration of the fact that 2020 was the best year of your life. Really.

Official Coronavirus Cancellations and Postponements…

If you’re like me, you’ve been fixed on all al the activities and diversions that have been cancelled, wondering when they will return. I have such a fix to play softball again, go to dinner with friends, and watch a major league baseball game. Not to mention, nervously eying the calendar as the date for the Motley Crue/Def Leppard/Poison concert draws near. (And coming to the realization that getting a refund for the extra two grand I paid to the ticket scalper is about as likely as receiving a kiss from Tommy Lee.) I decided the best strategy was doing some postponements and cancellations of my own. Here’s what I came up with so far. Please feel free to add any events I missed.

Test Your Prosperity Mindset

In times like these, even your normally positive sources of input are probably reflecting some negative, fearful, or defeatist thoughts. And unfortunately, if you haven’t already done some serious work questioning your programming and the core foundational beliefs you developed from that – your mindset may have a negative default setting.

Upgrade Your Thinking

One of the masterminds I participate in is a WhatsApp chat group that we’ve labeled Juxtaposed Jedi. It’s a daily chat with three of us, where we’re bouncing ideas off each other, conducting thought experiments, and getting and giving advice. One of the most valuable parts of the process is when we point out faulty thinking. This could be a confirmation bias someone has, making an assumption from a bad premise, emotional irrationality, or simply sloppy logic.

The Brainwashing of Self-Sabotage

Since you were a toddler you have faced overwhelming forces determined to brainwash you, hold you down, destroy your self-esteem, manipulate you into buying shit you don’t need, consuming toxic substances, going into debt, blowing up your relationships, and basically becoming a worker drone in the collective. You were unknowingly brainwashed by these forces and programed with numerous negative, dysfunctional, and harmful beliefs. And once you accepted those beliefs as your own (unknowingly), you’re probably been practicing behavior that is still today, self-sabotaging the results you say you want.

Hope Springs Eternal

Seth Mouton seriously believed that he could become the next president of the United Sates. He quit the race Friday. Eric Swalwell, John Hickenlooper, and Jay Inslee all seriously believed that they were actually going to become the next president of the United States. They’re out now.
