Pain is the mother of all growth. I know you don't like this. I really don't like it either. But it's true nonetheless. You see the harsh reality is that you and I both grow the most in the crucible of challenge. Whether the pain is physical like in the gym...
When you're grateful for what you have, you'll get more to be grateful for. Gratitude is one of the most powerful strategies for wealth and success. Period. Here's a fact I want you to really think about: You're successful the MINUTE you're grateful... You're wealthy RIGHT NOW, you just have to realize it... Success without fulfillment is NOT success at all...
Most have very little control of their lives. I know you want to think you're the exception, but you MIGHT need to think again. As always, there's no value whatsoever in lying to yourself. Most live their lives driven by their emotions. Like a wild boar on steroids, they go this way and that. Up and down with every little life and business hiccup, new bill, new challenge, disappointment, frustration and so-called "failure."
Whatever is not appreciated is depreciated and eventually lost. This is a fundamental principle in both life and business. If you don't appreciate your team members, you will lose them. Studies prove that money (or a paycheck) alone won't motivate long term; and it certainly won’t inspire. If you don't appreciate your health you will lose it. Then Life will give you the necessity to make it job #1. If you don't appreciate your relationship you will lose it. Every human being has a deep need to feel appreciated; and they will do and go where they must to find that appreciation...
You're most probably all messed up in the head... Shocked? Did you STOP scrolling? Look, we live in a world that places all its emphasis on IQ and cognitive ability. Yet, how many people do you know that are INTELLECTUAL GIANTS; and yet COMPLETELY ARRESTED in their development of adaptability (AQ) and emotional strength (EQ)?
When everything seems to be falling apart... It's ACTUALLY coming together on a grander scale of order. Now if ANYONE knows about this... If ANYONE KNOWS how HARD this is to realize... If ANYONE KNOWS how difficult this is to get through... Then with all humility and respect it's me...
This is the lamest story I ever hear. You don't need to get more time, you need to discipline you time. You don't need to manage your time, you need to manage yourself. The fact is that we all have the same amount of time. 168 hours in a week...
Purpose and pleasure are NOT the same thing. Contrary to popular thinking, you're not always going to be happy when living your true purpose. Happiness and pleasure are transitory human emotions; and like all emotions, whether pleasurable or painful, they're fleeting. Living your purpose CAN be pleasurable and happy; and it will also be painful and frustrating at times...
It's ENTIRELY up to you. For most, it's the latter. Most fool themselves into thinking they "have time." They don't. YOU don't! Time sets across the board from you and is going to sweep you OFF the board MUCH quicker than you think; and CERTAINLY before you're ready...
Your SOUL longs to Experience and Expand. Now I know this is not your typical Leadership and Business topic, yet it should be. For what IS Leadership after all except effectively and powerfully leading your own LIFE?
I've asked audiences all over the world this question: "If I could offer you all the money in the world, OR you could have endless peace of mind no matter what the circumstances, BUT you CAN'T have both. Which would you choose?" Invariably, the overwhelming answer by show of hands is, "Peace of Mind."
Pain is NOT a signal to suffer. It's a signal to GROW! If you've been exposed to Zen at any level, or it's teachings as I have (I've studied it for years). You may have heard that "Pain is inevitable. But suffering is a choice." Pain is a natural part of physical life. It's NOT a signal to suffer, it's a signal to GROW...
Your universe is NOT solid. Science proves that it pulsates. Now I know this is a bit heady for most; and in a world of information overload the LAST thing you or I need is more information...
The amount of resistance you feel is in direct proportion to the potential greatness of your outcome. The Resistance. Your greatest enemy. Those doubts, fears, insecurities, uncertainties, limiting beliefs, small self-image and confidence...
You've been conditioned in The Great Lie. Did that give you a Triple Espresso Jolt? I don't care who you are, what country you live in, or how old you are. You've been conditioned in this GREATEST of Lies. The Lie?
You can only grow and build as high as your roots are in the ground. Look, there are Natural Laws in this Universe. Physics as well as Alchemical Traditions tells us there are at least 7 fundamental laws, each with subsidiary laws, and others that are just as important but not foundation...
You most probably don't think. Not unless you're HIGHLY unusual that is. Most people only THINK they think. One of my very bright clients asked me why I always state, "Your head will mess you up every single time"?
Most beliefs are worthless. Actions are priceless. You see, you can tell me all day what you "believe" but your actions will speak truth. Many say they "believe" they have the right for a better, more fulfilling, and meaningful life...
Now you may be thinking, "But James, haven't you told me that good things (particularly great things) take time?" Yes. Then what's this contradiction? Well, it's complicated...
Let your scars be a symbol of your strength. Let's be completely forthright here just like I like it; and hopefully so do you... Life is hard. That doesn't mean it's not beautiful and magnificent, it is. But many times, if not most, you must find that beauty in a pile of dung... You make plans, and Life has other plans.
