Never be afraid of rejection!

Be different and be amazing

Nowadays most people think they have fear of failure, but they don't really have fear of failure, fear of rejection, it's fear of success.

This simple is another case of limiting beliefs that cause you self-sabotage your own success that cause to not achieve everything that you are meant to do, to step into your greatness.

Where this comes from? Fear of success? It comes for worthiness issues, not believing you're worthy, being afraid you don't deserve it.

Being afraid you are not worthy of the good that is meant to be yours.

Where that comes from? 

First of all you are your worst critic, your hardest critic.

You need to understand that you don't get the freedom you deserve, you get the freedom you believe you deserve.

Second you are afraid that you don't fit in, your friends don't like you anymore, that your family don't love you anymore, that you don't belong to the people you hang around anymore.

But why the effort to fit in?

Why we need to be different these days, if you want to be wealthy, healthy, if you wanna be happy or if you wanna be successful?

We have more than 7 billion people on the planet now.

How many of those 7 billion do you think are healthy?

Probably more than 5 billion are not healthy, they carry around too much weight, they do not do exercise, they do not eat well, do not have energy, most have degenerative diseases, so just about 2 billion people probably are healthy.

How many you think are happy?

Again a few on the planet are happy because if you check for example the percentage of people nowadays consume excessive alcohol, drug abuse ( people have these behaviors to forget the problems that they are currently facing, instead of solving them, works like an anesthesia but only the problem is when the effect finish, nothing changes, the reality comes again and probably addiction is developed to the substances, money problems can start to arise to sustain the addictions, etc ) we conclude by checking the numbers most of the people are not happy at all.

How many of the 7 billion people do you think are wealthy? Really with financial freedom, with all senses of freedom? 

How many do you think are rich, they really got the money thing out of the way?

Less than 5%.

How many of those 7 billion people are healthy, happy and free?

And now how low you think is that percentage?

Probably less then 1%.

So why would you wanna be like that the majority of people today?  

Why you wanna fit in with the crowd? Why you wanna "be normal"? 

I think now you don't!

You wanna to be different. You wanna be amazing.

So how to be healthy, happy and free?

a) Live healthy, such a simple thing, such a profound thing. But exercise every day, eat for energy. Breathe fresh air. Get some sunlight. Get some sleep, get your rest. Do this and you be very, very different just if you live healthy.

b) Question the premisse. Do your homework about good nutrition, because don't trust in the media these days, the publicity probably say you that you need to drink beer everyday or wine everyday, or probably you will find articles saying you need a cheeseburger everyday or another example you will find publicity saying that vapor cigarettes are healthy for you and they are not dangerous. These ads are there since media went out. So question the premisse. Use your common sense, be a critical thinker.

c) Grow your mind. Take classes, take continued classes on university, go to seminars and workshops of personal-development, read challenging books, read challenging blog posts, find things that cause your mind to grow.

d) Grow your consciousness. Set aside some time each day to nourish your self-development. Treat your body and after your mind ( doesn't need to be by this order ) feed your mind, your consciousness.

e) Create your own financial security. Only foolish people would wait and expect the government to take care of their retirement. If you are counting on social security to create your financial security that is insanity. Social security in most of the countries nowadays is the worst pyramid scheme in the world.

Greece today is probably the worst pyramid scheme in the world, Puerto Rico might be the second worst pyramid scheme in the world, USA social security program probably is the third worst pyramid scheme in the world ( it's actually a money game ) and another nations all around the world.

So don't expect the government to take care of you. Don't spend more than you earn.  What ever you earn. Doesn't matter what you earn, don't spend more than you earn, you have to spend less than you earn and you need to take some part of what you earn ( that earnings ) and you got to put it to work. You need to grow your wealth. Put your money to work. You need to be able to go to bed and when you wake up you are wealthier than when you go to sleep. Like that you accumulate more wealth.

But for this could happen probably you got to change some of the people you hang out with. 

You got to look about the environment you surround yourself with.

Who are the 5 people you are spending the time with more time with?

And if they say it doesn't work you are dummy and you don't gonna do it, you just simple like that don't buy the story, you can't let somebody else sell you a story about you. They are selling you a story based on fear. They fear full people that is what that people are afraid. So remember never be afraid of rejection!

Have a great weekend and just be amazing.

Evolution XIV

Learn how to be a kid again!

When you were born you didn't have afraid of speaking in front of groups

   Think when you were a child, without afraid of speaking in public, without need to fit in where you were, you have the amazing sense of adventure, passion and excitement, you were really happy. That condition is your authentic self. But then what happens is along the way we take in beliefs and values and behaviors that we get from the people around us, obvious we are influenced by our environment and in particularly the parents, the coaches, the people who are around us the most, particularly the formative years.

We take in those beliefs and in those values and for most people in the world we take in those behaviors and create a gap, a space between your authentic self and your personality.

You have to know what are your values, what are the principles you wanna live by, not necessary what other people taught you.

You need to know the stuff that matters to you, it's gotta to be your goals not someone else.

Most people today they are doing something they really don't want to do, they are a dentist because 3 generations of their family were a dentist, there are a lawyer because their mother was a lawyer or their father was a lawyer.

And some people are doing this, running like in auto-pilot, in someone else goals.

We usually say money and materials things don't buy happiness, they allow you to self-expression on things that brings you happiness.

Happiness comes from achievements as we keep creating achievements we want to accomplish and we start to achieve those things that is what brings us happiness.

You can seat all day, have no money worries, nothing to do, watch all day movies in TV all day long, all your needs are met for you if you have a wealthy mother or father that gives every month millions to you use in your necessities and you wouldn't be happy because happiness comes from doing things, from achieving things, and when you switch from success for significant is not having another achievement it is having a achievement that means something.

Another situation that is common is people usually are worried with what, about other people think about them and doesn't matter what other people think, it is your life, do what you like, live like you want. 

Be comfortable in your skin because you can't love anyone until you love yourself first.

You need to love yourself before you even like anyone else!

Have a great week and lets go doing something amazing.

Evolution XII

Question your paradigms!

There are 2 parts in our mind: there is one part that gathers information and there is another part that controls our behavior, and it's our behavior that controls our results!

We have paradigms that are programmed genetically and environmentally. We must question if they are serving us! Why?

It's interesting how paradigms are formed and how we can change them. The paradigms controls our perception, how we utilize our time and controls the amount of money we earn.

For example of one paradigm that is universally accepted is that it's spiritual to be poor or noble to be poor or if we want to be spiritual we must be poor or if we want to be noble we must be poor.

The truth is that poverty almost the time causes people to lie, to cheat, to steal and even to kill.

If you born in poverty that's nothing wrong, but staying in poverty is an insult to the one that create you, because you are not utilizing the incredible potential that you have. When you are poor you are missing the mark for your creator.

When you are living in poverty you are missing the mark that your creator has to you or you are not accepting the love that the universe has to you because I really believe you were born to be happy, healthy and free.

Your creator gives you happiness, health and wealth and if you are not expressing that, you are turning away from that source, it's almost like being a sinner. We need now to define sin because you probably know that the Bible was written in Aramaic and in this original language the definition of sin means to miss the mark. So when you are sinning you are missing the mark that your creator has for you. And again we must differentiate be poor from born in poverty there are 2 things completely different like we already define above. 

But if for example my family or my close friends they really believe that being poor is noble and spiritual, what can I do?

The best way to deal with that and is not so easy to do, but it is limit your time with them, set boundaries for them, let them know you love them and care about them, you want to help them to reach success but you can't drag anyone to the finish line. They actually if you spend too much time with them they will do the opposite with you they will try to drag you to their side.

You need to let them know you don't allow anymore them to drag you again back to the other side. 

Probably you really need to say directly: "I'm sorry I love you, I care about you, I wish you the best but I cannot spend time with you any longer because I do not want to be infected with your attitude, your mindset, the way you are thinking."

In other hand expand the association with people that are in the same path like you for improving their lives!

 How? 

By reading books, listening to tapes, attending workshops, webinars, scopes on Periscope about personal development. 

Like always peace, love, faith, keep dreaming, stay alive, success, Just Do Life and have an amazing and great week.

Your friend and partner, JM.

YOU WERE MEANT TO LIVE A LIFE OF FREEDOM!

YOUR LIFE IS CREATED BY WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ALL DAY!

You see all over the world there is people doing things they don't want to do and is giving them results they don't want to get and they do anyway. 

I want that your head represents your mind. First of all no one ever seen the mind. Mind is activity is not a thing. Your brain is not your mind. Brain is a electronic switching station that alters the vibration you're in and the vibration indicates what you attract. 

If you divide the top half of your head in the conscious mind and the bottom half represents the subconscious mind you will understand that the conscious mind is where school focus on, that is where we gather all the information loaded with books and the subconscious mind is where are the paradigms.

Your paradigms controls your vibration, controls what you attract and also controls what you do. It literally controls your behavior. If you look outside your results, your results are nothing but manifestation of your paradigms. And when you go and change your paradigms because it is something you must do if you want to change your results.  

But probably you are wondering what are paradigms?

Well paradigms are a multitude of habits. Are ideas that are fixed in your subconscious mind and all brought together are called paradigms. So paradigms are like a sub-electronic mechanism control system in your subconscious mind.   

What is this process that we see the world through? We see through a window and if it is open then we have freedom. 

Think about when you were a baby. You didn't have fear of speaking in front of people and didn't have afraid of failure. You try walk, you try touch in fire and get burned.

You grew up and then in the 30s you learn to be realistic. To set goals so you can achieve and don't fail or be disappointed. Now your window get closed. If you read TRANS4MATION it's up to you!

well your window expand and get bigger, starts to open again longer as you get older. Why? Because helps to you press the mute on the negative if you stay in this path of expanding your window that you use to you see the world.

Why this is so important?

Because your life is created by what you think about all day. For example if you think positive and success you create opportunities.

To you change anything outside you must first have to change the inside.

If you sow a thought you create a action and if you sow a action you create a habit and if you sow a habit you create character and if sow character you create your destiny.

Your mindsets are not created in a day but in a month cycle.

You create a better life by creating a better self-image.

If you REALLY believe you can achieve something and you act on it, YOU WILL.

Have a great week and just Do life!

Evolution IX

OPEN YOUR MIND!

Most people avoid what they afraid of...

Your paradigms can keep you from succeeding and you have to find your fears.

Many people are afraid to fail or are embarrassed by their failures.

No one have a breakthrough in his or her own comfort zone and the big breakthroughs happen when those people faced their fears and take some risks.

Of course, I am not suggesting that you become irresponsible. Taking risks that are on purpose is quite different than being irresponsible.

Always keep in mind that losing is a part of winning. When you fall down, get up and keep moving forward. It’s by trying things that you figure out how far you can go.

You should be active when you see an opportunity because if not you will either step forward into growth or step back into safety and if you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.

You see even if you fail, if you treat every experience not like a failure but or either you won or it was a learning experience, then you’ll end up a winner.

So the stronger your discipline is the easy your life is.

You shouldn’t try to determine your purpose, you should discover it and when you discover your purpose that gives your life real meaning.

Then as long as you are true to your purpose, you should treat success and failure, no matter how big or small, exactly the same you learn from each one.

Not knowing what you want is so frustrating … or knowing what you want but not knowing how to get it is even more frustrating, and a sure recipe for failure and disappointment.

So surround yourself with people that challenge you and that don't allow you to stay where you are or in your comfort zone.

Associate with people that challenge you to improve your health, your wealth and your results.

How can you do that?

Attending workshops of personal-development, listen to tapes ( cd's, dvd's, youtube channels ), read blogs of self-development, books and the new hot sensation broadcasts on Periscope ( by the way if you are not following me there yet, it is @jbemartins ).

Like always please Just Do Life and have a great weekend.

Evolution VII

Get out your comfort zone!

Many of us are pretty comfortable in our lives!

       On a scale between 0 to 10 that 0 is none and 10 is completely fulfilled most people are in 4 ou 5 which is no man's land, they aren't really happy or unhappy to make a change or doing better.

We have a good reasonable income, the rent or the mortgage is being payed, there are food in the kitchen, we have a nice warm bed to sleep in, we have a car, nice clothes and all it seems to going fine. 

A person in that position could very easily think why should I do something to change this? 

The truth is if your life isn't going in one direction absolutely by law of physics it must be going in another direction. 

What many of us can easily make is establish a comfort zone in our lives.

This is a very common and understandable attitude because we all work hard to get where we are, and it may seem a good place to be.

The only problem with this, when you stop contributing, seeking and risking, that's when we stop growing, and without continues growth, we are now all we are ever going to be.

If you are in a comfort zone beware, the danger of a comfort zone is that doesn't hurt and it might feel good, many take that as a good place to be.

A comfort zone may be what is holding you back from real growth, real accomplishment and your potentially rewarding future. 

Again, remember if you are not going in one direction by physical law we must be going in another direction, we are building or we are imploding.

For example if a person says: "I like it just the way it is", again by physical law we know that absolutely nothing stays the way it is... 

What you don't use it you lose it!

What you don't increase, decreases!

So like always have a great week and Just Do Life!

How to be free?

You were born FREE!

       

       We as human beings we are the only ones who can change everything around us, you and I can build something, destroy something, change our current situation and the environment that surround us and even so your past doesn't need to be equal your future.

Everything you see and use is result of someones thinking. First that was created inside the mind of that person and then materialized in our physical world. It’s an immutable law of the universe that you must first have something mentally before you can have it physically. In other words, you have to actually create, in your imagination, the freedom you want. It has to be as real to you there as anything you can see and touch on the outside.

So being true this above, it means that you already have what it takes to become free. No matter where you come from or what you’ve done so far, you inherently possess the source from which all freedom is generated. You were born free, quite literally.

The first step is to understand what it means to say that freedom begins in your mind. 

In my book TRANS4MATION it's up to you! one of the first things that I share is how to help people so they can understand to the kind of internal programing that they probably have so they can do the right adjustments so they can achieve the financial freedom and success they want.

Here are some of the most ways to do so:

a) Your programming about money.

Almost every people consciously wants to be financial free. Only a small percentage of them actually are. Part of the reason I think is deep-seated negative programming about money, thoughts like these: "Having to much money is bad",  "Money is the root of all evil", "Rich people are evil", "Money can’t buy happiness”, "It's not good to become rich", "You shouldn't try to get rich", "It's spiritual to be poor", or a general feeling that wanting to be rich is somehow bad or greedy.

How comfortable would you feel stating that desire to your parents, your grandparents, your siblings or close friends?

If you feel any hesitation, any squeamishness or guilt, then you need to look within, find out why and start changing the script to reflect positive beliefs. A great one is: “Money is a tool which allows me the freedom to enjoy life and give generously”.

b) Live in just one economy.

Another thing that can “get inside your head” and block your ability to attract and generate freedom is negative chatter about money. Headlines and news reports that bemoan the state of the economy and the people who bombard you with stories of lack and limitation. The truth is, plenty of men and women get financial freedom in economic downturns and bad markets, in large part because they simply do not allow those external circumstances to penetrate and disrupt their internal mindset and vision for what they want to accomplish.

Choose to turn away from and tune out these kinds of fear-based influences. Focus on your own personal economy instead and in your goals. If you do, then that’s exactly what it will be!

c) Think like a free person.

Like I share before, you must first have something mentally before you can have it physically. If freedom is what you want to achieve, this means you must imagine yourself to BE already free, vividly and in great detail, at all times. This simple and very fun exercise has an enormously powerful impact. Because your unconscious mind can’t distinguish between actually doing something and simply visualizing it, it will accept your imagined reality as true, and begin navigating the world accordingly.

What are some of the things you’d do if you had great financial freedom? Think of a few, then—in your mind—DO them. Practice this game consistently, and take note of the results. I can guarantee to you that if you do so faithfully, you’ll begin seeing the opportunities a wealthy person would see, and taking the actions a wealthy person would take. And very soon, you’ll find yourself reaping the financial rewards they reap.

But please don't fake it until you make it ( probably you could be attempted to do this ) instead you faith it until you make it!

So it’s really true: You were born free! These a,b,c, steps above will help you so you can go in the direction of your goals.

Have a great week and just Do life!

With friendship JM.

How to feed well your body and mind?

You are a spiritual being living in a physical body

     

       The essence of you and I is spiritual. You are a spiritual being living in a physical body, you don't have a soul but you are a living soul. You got to take care of yourself, your physical body do not neglect yourself, the Holy Scriptures says to nourishes and cherishes your body. Why I think it's a good advice? Because your body it's the only place you've got lo live, currently ( if you saw the movie Transcendence with Johnny Depp maybe in the future who knows, but for now... )


Some people don't have great results in their lives because they don't feel well, they are from times to times sick, ( and me also some years not far away ago I was out of shape, out of balance and out of health, my life was mess up and then things got better, I don't have everything perfect now, but I'm still in the path of improving myself and now things are pretty good for me. I'm not here to write to you that I'm the perfect person that figure out everything, I just want to share with you what worked for me and maybe can work for you too like I mention in my previous post I would do it ) so you must have vitality in you so you can do it well, so take good care of yourself.


I know some people who feed their pets better than they feed themselves. They are so careful how they feed their pets, so careful what they eat, so careful so they get everything and because of that extreme care those pets are in great shape, but if you saw these persons I know. Some people take care better their pets than take care themselves or even worst some people feed better their pets than they feed their own kids.


So let's start with physical:


I was an addicted to caffeine, I used to drink 5 to 7 coffees a day with sugar of course, several cokes a day too and not the 0 or the Diet/light ones, I was addicted to champagne always an opportunity pop up "let's go people" and of course when I drank juices were always with gas and a lot of sugars. Now I simply drink water and occasionally natural juices of course without gas. I've always have water around me if I'm at home or practicing physical exercise like doing cycling and playing soccer, etc. Helps you hydrate because you are losing water all the time by transpiration, this is how you stay detox, you get the toxins out of your body, keep your energy level high, your blood pumping in and your brain thinking clearly.

I never ate several times a day, usually a small breakfast in running mode, no fruit at all and probably a chocolate cake. Why I did that? I thought by doing that I would start the day with getting extra energy because of the sugar of the cake or with the chocolate. I was wrong because we don't get more energy but we simple can create more energy with in our core body and the way we create that energy is by the nutrients that we put in our body. 

So I'm not a fanatic I don't eat perfect all the time I still drink coke from times to times ( and not the 0 and not the Diet/light ) or sometimes I enjoy going to McDonald's and eat the Big Mac, but for the most the time I eat healthy, I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, usually fruit in the morning before the lunch I eat orange, banana, pear and red apple. For lunch normally more vegetables to avoid the other stuff is not so healthy, after lunch before dinner in the middle of the afternoon cereals with soy milk because I have a lactose condition, for dinner I like very much having a good soup and salad and before go sleep a tea in fall/winter with some crackers and in spring/summer a fresh orange juice with an green apple.     

Of course I supplement my diet with some fantastic nutrition products ( by the way I think everybody should ) because the truth is, the food we buy today even if we buy from the bio store or we produce some of our own food we really don't receive all the nutrients we need in our diet that our body needs because of the air pollution, pesticides, hormones and a lot grown up in depleted soil, etc. 

There are many things that are happening that threat our food supply that is why I believe we all need supplementation. 

What I noticed was doing smaller meals, 4 a 5 per day and start eating the bad stuff early like for example as I mention above sometimes I like eat a Big Mac on McDonald's instead do that at dinner I go do that at lunch time early in the day not before I go to bed and I was able to starting losing weight and all with no stress, no craves and enjoying my new looking. 

But of course to go from 91 kg / 201 lb to 67 kg / 148 lb just changing the food I eat wasn't enough, then I began doing a lot a of physical exercises, I join a cycling team with family and friends, start going to a swimming pool with family, running in the woods with family and I started playing soccer in a local club this all combined with above allowed me have some interesting results.      

    

Why I began sharing what I did for changing my body?

Because you know how appearance is important in our society, you don't never have a second chance to make a first impression. Some people may say: "Well what matters is the inside of the person!" 

I agree with that, but don't forget only God can see the inside of the person, we humans only see the outside of the package. Of course with the time when people get to know you better they judge by more than they see but first they gonna take a look. Please make sure your outside is a major reflection of what's going on inside which lead us to the mind subject.

I began nourish my brain reading books, with audio programs that I listen in car or on my iPhone, I started seeing videos on my Mac, this allowed me put in thoughts of positivity and good expectations in my mind.

That also allowed to me to be the thinker of the thought instead just having thoughts by getting programmed by all outside influences, because I believe we born with free will and like Jean Paul Sartre said: "Man is condemned to be free", I really believe we can choose our thoughts. So I think it's very important think about what we are thinking about, so again I became the thinker of the thought instead just having thoughts programmed by TV, radio, internet, movies, social media, friends and family. 

  

I also made a freedom manifestation map, I filled in it with pictures and images of things I want to do, have and become and I put it in a place I can easily see it everyday this way I also feed my mind remembering me daily the direction I want my life goes.

If you found this post helpful, you know if you share this post with 5 of your facebook friends and ask them to each share this post with 5 of theirs facebook friends it would be 25 and if they duplicate that 125, and they duplicate that 625, and they duplicate that 3125, then 15625, and they duplicate that again 78125 and pretty soon the all world would be feeding well their body and mind.     ;-) But I'm leaving that up to you!

JM with friendship.

Evolution IV

Do you attend failure's workshop?

Failure should also do workshops!

       Usually people always study and follow up success, what people do to become successful.

Nowadays it's not spend  too much time looking what failures do.

So often people go to success workshops and they see successful people do workshops, and only a small percentage of people in attendance become successful from the workshop. Why this phenomenon happens? Because the big percentage in attendance never do what the speakers tell them, just putting simple like that.
Many in attendance listen and embrace it, put in their mental diary and accept it, just a few do it but everybody is available to do it.


In the sequence of the theme for today what about failures workshops? What if you have the opportunity to listen from somebody who never accomplish nothing in their life, told you what their habits were, all the opportunities they have and told you on a regular basis what they didn't do, wouldn't be of a great value that information?

Identifying the things that failures do is just as important at some period of time to listen to success.
Of course I believe you need more success principles than study and follow up of failures do. My definition of a failure is a permanent situation ( i.e. when you quit ), for example when you say: "That situation didn't work for me!", you fail to do what is required to succeed in this example, but if you don't quit, while your still in, having pulse, while your still have life in you and working to do well, then you're not a failure.  

So why people quit?
There are many reasons, lets explore some:

a) The necessity you have for the approval of other people.

The opinion of other people of you is more important than yours. Sometimes what happens to failures is like they don't feel so good about themselves that when they give themself advice the thought process they have is that they never trust it even if they have all the evidence, all the experience and all the information they still don't believe in themselves so they allow other people make the decisions for them.

b) Entertainment.

If you read the previous post I made on this blog I share there the difference between entertain yourself instead educate yourself, what I mean by that is most of us right now we're in entertaining ourselves, we will seat down and watch the idiot box ( TV ) 5 hours per day or more, every single day  but won't take 30 minutes to read a book or listen one audio program that is going to improve us and take us to where it is we gonna to go.

The reason why I'm writing to you in this type of writing is I want you to understand that your eyes, ears and mouth all that is being programmed as your navigation GPS device to where it is your going to go in life, what you intake, the information that you intake, those are the only places you can go, so if you intake negative tv news and gossip programs, when you intake this for so many hours a day, it becomes a part of who you are.

Now you might be thinking: "Well I agree with that you just written above but you forget I can control it!",  YOU CAN'T because that is your unconscious mind it works taking over by input, the more input you get the more operate.

You've got to learn how to disassociate with negative programming, how to improve yourself and educate yourself pop in an audio program, sit down and read a book, meditate and whatever it is you're doing you've got to feed yourself, feed your brain. Our brain is like a plant, if you don't feed your plants, your plants will die. Most people put more time in the feeding their plants then they do in the feeding of their future.



If you found this post helpful, be free to use the several ways to share the care and you may want to follow this blog and receive more info just in time that is release it, for that please fill in with your first name and your best email using the box below in right corner so you can receive updates on freedom, health and success from me.


Next post I gonna share with you the theme will be How to feed well your body and mind? ( I gonna share my personal secret sauce that allowed me in just 1 year changing my weight from 91kg / 201 lb to 67kg / 148 lb with no sacrifice, with happiness, a lot of joy and improved my health. )

So until we interact again as always, peace, love, faith, keep dreaming, stay alive, success and just Do Life!

Evolution III

Do you belong to the 95% of our society or the 5%?

95% of our society is addicted to failure

      Winning is a habit but so is losing. Losing becomes habitual and people can be addicted to failure. The question of today is am I addicted to failure or to winning?

You need to learn to gather enough information and make a decision then stick with then.

Successful people make a decision and hold onto it, and make it right.

Unsuccessful people go back and forwards on that decision, and are very slow to make decisions. One of the sub themes I want to discuss with you is about the entertainment.


Entertain yourself instead of educate yourself?

There is a study in the USA that shows the hours of TV usually people see in a regular basis "Average American watches 5 hours of  TV per day, report shows ." and what's interesting about that study is as someone becomes older more hours of tv see  "Time spent watching live TV increases steadily as we get older, according to a new report." 

Why this happens?

I call that the state of anesthesia to not feel pain ( or in some cases receiving pleasure ) but is needed now to do an distinction in pleasure VS happiness.

Pleasure is temporary and happiness can be eternal. An example of pleasure being temporary is: I watch TV X hours today, because I want to please myself. I want that short term pleasure.

Happiness: I decide not see more tv today, "The Voice" is coming on but I decide now to read something positive, to improve myself or I watch the rest of the soccer game or the money drop and I go work on myself, maybe study just one chapter.

Successful people understand the priority of time.

Unsuccessful people don't see the value of time, don't invest, contrariwise spend their time entertaining themselves VS educate themselves.


You must be addicted to improvement, 95% of the people in the world spend the majority of their time entertaining themselves and the other 5% invest more time to educate themselves.


Please ask yourself now: what was my last book I read? The audio program that I listened?

This now means your life should be spending all your free time you have on personal development? No of course not, but if you want your current status improve, you should do something for change it and to things to improve you need to improve!

In the course of time, I made an incredible discovery in all my personal failures & successes and this  was what I find out: there was always one same suspect at the same crime zone and guess who was?  Was me.

Like I found this you too have to take personal responsibility for where you are in order to get where you want to go!
Last thought for today is unsuccessful people use circumstances that are not favorable as a reason to permanently stop going in the direction of their dreams.

On the other hand successful people are always looking for the solution for the problems that they face. Successful people ask: How can I solve this? ( and or ) What can I do to solve this?


Henry Ford once said wisely: "Failure is simply an opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently." and couldn't be better said...


As always peace, love, faith, keep dreaming, stay alive, success and just Do Life!
