Action is a universal language.What makes something universal?- Something common held amongst everyone.- Something that has no barriers.- Omnipresent. Present in everything, al the time.- What makes a language universal?- Understood by all. - Able to be interpreted regardless of perceived differences- Easily perceived.What do we do naturally when we want to explain something to someone who is having trouble understanding?We ACT it out. We naturally act to communicate.Babies didn’t speak, they acted. They cried. They don't ask, they just do. When we want to communicate with someone but they don’t know our language, we act out what we want to communicate. Acting/Doing is more universal and powerful than speaking.Doing something is much more different than just speaking about it. Every December, people speak about changing their lives.But how many really do it??? Acting conveys more than speaking.'YOUR ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN YOUR WORDS.”“For even sheep do not vomit up their grass and show to the shepherds how much they have eaten; but when they have internally digested the pasture, they produce externally wool and milk. Do you also show not your theorems to the uninstructed, but show the acts which come from their digestion.”~ Let the results of your actions speak for the actions.~ Don’t explain what you're trying to do, show them. The world we see and perceive is a world of only the thoughts, ideas, that were put into action.Cars, Laptop, Phone, Podcast, All ideas that were ACTED UPON.We have never, and will never, see the ideas of those that were never given life to, that were never put into action. We will never see thoughts that remain thoughts, only thoughts that were acted upon.
I live forever above the earth, until i return to it. The earth is forever beneath you until you return to it. Mental constructs are inferior to the mind that forms them. Creations are inferior to its creators. Experiences.Emotions.Scenarios.Conditions. Circumstances.Confines. Limits.Borders.Environments.Situations.Forms.Concepts. ………..All a construct. All seemingly happen. All seemingly are processed. All beneath you. All yield to you.
Failing at an attempt to excel is better than succeeding at playing it safe. Life being as precious as it is is not, and should not, be evidence to play it safe. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity deserves to be treated with once-in-a-lifetime energy. You're already in it, so you might as well go ALL IN.
It is happening. Things don't just all of a sudden happen out of chance or luck, they happen out of the result of the little events that led up to it and the laws that cause those events.Start thinking, living, and believing that your are living in the past of your desired future, and you will be. All is happening right now, most of it will take some time to appear before your eyes.
How many times in your life has something seemed to not go your way?... something seemed to obstruct your plans...... something seemed to get in your way...... something seemed to hinder you...... something seemed to slow you down...... something seemed to make you second guess...Key word = seemed. You thought they were something. Things only seem as they do because you think thats how they happen. Obstacles seem to get in your way, unless your on a obstacle course. Then obstacles become the way instead of getting in the way. If you're on a playground, obstacles become apart of the fun instead of an obstruction of it. So how can we make the obstacles that appear in our lives seem like they lie on an course instead of simply existing just to get in our way. Think like kid on a playground.He does not see obstacles. He sees areas of play because he enters the pace with play in his mind. He goes to the park to play. Thus the obstacles in the park become fun to traverse and encounter. You must see that life is meant to be fun. “How fun it is to have run into this obstacle.” “This sure is a great obstacle course.”Things don’t happen to stop your progression, they happen to test your commitment to progress. To compound it “Obstacles” appear to make us stronger. They appear to make us wiser. They appear to Make us more competent. They appear to help us develop. They appear to make us more committed. They appear to test our will. They appear to help us believe.They appear to help us realize our potential. They don’t appear to get in your way, they appear to show you THE way.
The Dichotomy of knowing...- We either know something OR we don’t.- We either know what to do something OR we don’t.- We either know how to do something OR we don’t.- We either know why were doing something OR we don’t.When we know, we feel confident and competent. We feel comfortable. When we don’t, we naturally shut down. Fight or Flight is triggered. And from there we just respond to the uncomforted of the unknowing instead of what caused the discomfort.Remember test in school...- recall how it felt to know a question- recall how it felt to not know.Think about how often you don’t know something.Not knowing whats next.Not knowing what to expect.Not knowing if it will go as planned.Not knowing how it will turn out. Not knowing if the choice was the right one.Not knowing if you're going in the right direction.Not knowing where you are on your path of life.Not knowing if you’re on the right path. Not knowing what your doing right.Not knowing what you're doing wrong. There’s much more that we don't know when compared to what we do. And as time progresses, there is becoming more and more that we don’t know. With the state not knowing, comes our natural tendencies to...- Panic- Stress- Be Anxious, nervous- Fear - Be uncomfortablePeople don’t get rid of these natural tendencies. Instead , they simply learn to deal with these natural bodily responses that were adaptions that took 100s of thousands of years to become as they are. They recognize these things are here to stay. Thus no longer do they "fight or flight” when they arrive. They live with them and live through them.They learn and adapt with them. Learn to handle pressure.Learn to handle stress.Learn to handle being nervous.Learn to handle failure. Learn to handle fear. Learn to handle being uncomfortable.An opportunity to learn to handle the situation and the emotions resulting from the situation. If I can’t handle this, then I now have an opportunity to learn how to.
What you do today WILL impact...- What you do tomorrow.- What actions you must take tomorrow. - How you feel tomorrow.- How you perceive events, circumstances, situations, conditions, appearances, Incident & Accident, experiences that happen tomorrow.What you do today WILL impact...- Where you are Tomorrow.- Where you are the day after.- Where you are next week.- Where you are next month.- Where you are next year.- Where you are decade. "Where you are” = Who you are, where/how you relate to your goals, what you are able to do, what success you are experiencing.A certainty... you will reap what you have sown in the past.Their are consequences to our actions, good and bad. Success is a consequence of past actions. So is failure. YOU WILL REAP WHAT YOU HAVE SOWN.You will get what you deserve, good or bad. You will be given what you are owed, good or bad.You will earn that which you have earned, good or bad. Sow seeds of greatness.Sow seeds of success.Let your actions of today plant you gorgeous readings of tomorrow. See each moment as an opportunity to sow seeds of greatness.See waking hour as a time period where your just planting seeds you know will turn into a luxurious harvests.Because that what is happening.
Things happen to us that are outside of our control...Negative events Unfortunate circumstancesAwkward situationsUnfavorable conditions Unanticipated appearancesIncident & AccidentHorrible experiencesWhat happens to you only affects you as much as you allow it to.How much you allow something to affect you is found in, AND ONLY IN, your response to that which you must respond to. The gravity of an event, how much pressure and weight it holds, is found in your response. You hold the power of the affect that any and all happening have on you. Stop focusing on what is happening, and start focusing on who its happening to.YOU.Stop focusing on what is happening, and start focusing on how you're going to happen. Focus on who you are. More importantly... On who you want to become. On what you want to represent.On the model you wish to be for the world.On the self that you desire to achieve.
Time spent complaining about the cards that have been dealt is time that could’ve been spent learning the best way to play them. Energy focused on the negative is energy that could've been used to make a positive.Thoughts on negatives of “what is” are thoughts that could be on the positives of “what could be”.Don’t stop at worrying.Don’t stop at complaining.Don’t stop at anxiousness.Don't stop at fear.Don’t stop at the appearance of an obstacle. Let worrying guide you to knowing where you must develop a skill at.Let anxiety guide you to becoming aware of an area you need more confidence in.Let doubt empower you to recognizing that you need more information, more insight, more depth in understanding. Let stress push you to realizing you have an opportunity to get stronger, more competent.Let regret make you more grateful to take the chances that lie in front of you.
PRINCIPLE OF RESPONSE : Its not about what happens to you, its about how you respond.(1) Strive to respond, not react. (2) Your response is an affirmation of who you are.(3) What happens is infinitesimal compared to how you respond.

Note: "There is an intelligence."
The Note:"We can see our mind by looking at its creation and how it creates."
Q1: If you could tell your younger self something you didn't know back then, what would it be?Q2: How do you measure success?Q3: What do you think about the Sun?Q4: What was your morning routine like and thought process behind each step in college?
The note:"The naturalness to think of all the ways it can’t happen. The naturalness to think of all the ways it can’t happen. Imagine if all that thought was directed toward thinking of all the ways it could. It’s natural for us to think negatively. Thinking negatively ensures survival. Thinking of all the worse that could helps reduce its probabilities. You don’t die for good things, positive things. You do however die from bad things, negative things."
The Note:"Recognize but don’t become recognized by the thoughts that occur in your mind. Identify them, don’t identify with the them. "
The Note: "Your world is your responsibility. Yourself, your experience, your universe, your responsibility. Your world is a reflection of you. No one else lives in it but you. It’s for you to adhere to.It’s for you to create. It’s for you to project. It’s for you to fear. It’s for you to overcome.It’s for you to be courageous. It’s for you to experience. And that experience is yourself.Know Thyself. We have different views. Different opinions on things. We see the world differently. We experience the world differently. We see others differently.The differences that we experience is in regards to how we are different individually. It’s because we differ that our worlds differ. The world is a reflection of us. The world is a reflection of ourselves. Not a Universe, but YOUniverse."
The Note: "Stop trying to fit into other peoples versions of success. Define your own. Would you want a teacher to use someone else’s rubric, someone else’s requirements, to grade your paper?"
To achieve is to become that which whom achieves.
