The First Rule of Success: To Have a Vision

I have long knew that the key to success is to have a clear vision. Even through I always had a vision of the way I wanted to be, I lost focus on something I knew deep down inside.

In order for a vision to become reality, you must work towards making it become real. But the vision never materialized for me. At the time, the vision did not hold the same weight for me as my need to engage in habit. The internal prison of habit that occupied my mind simply outweighed the vision of the better me that occupied my mind.

Don’t Listen to the Naysayers

When you begin to have a clear vision, you create a vacuum of absence in the soul for what was left behind. This is the place where the new vision can impregnate itself into the soul. This is the place where dreams can manifest; but it is also the place where the naysayers negative attitudes can implant themselves into the space that is made.

It is imperative that you don’t hold an external locus of control. This is your life. This in not the life of your parents, your friends, your boss, your neighbor, even your lover. If they love you, they will support you in your efforts to become a better you.

Work… Work… Work Your Ass Off To Realize Your Dreams

Drop plan B. My son said, you know if I don’t realize my dream to become a famous YouTuber, I can always sing?

My first reaction… What house did you grow up in. There is no Plan B. The only reason we ever create a Plan B is because we fear the F. Failure? Who ever failed at life? The only failure ever produced in life is the person that stoped learning a lesson from the loss we incurred.

There is no plan B. You want to take the island… Burn the Boats.

Dear Friends… Go chase your dreams. Whether that dream is to lose weight, gain muscle mass, raise the best children you possibly can to create a new generation where hope is impregnated into the soul of our world, lets do it. Create the habits now that move your children to the world of success you seek to create.

28 Days to Success

I made 28 today. Thank You… Thank You… Thank You! I don’t necessarily feel different, but I notice I talk a different language. My body feels different: stronger, leaner, and the old doesn’t have the same hold on my psyche as it once did.

Discipline! This has been the absent friend my life craved for so long. Why did I let this friend go in my life… Simply, I was not read at that time. I needed to roll around in the ashes and get dirty in order to find those glowing embers of the soul left behind. Here is a little inspiration from one of my greatest hero’s. Even though he has risen and fallen, he continues to inspire me to be the best Self I aspire to be.
