Controlling your focus: effective use of QUESTIONS
Controlling your focus. I lot of people can’t focus, and slip into procrastination. Tony Robbins offers some insight.
Tony, when you’re not listening to the cocky Kobe Bryant, you have some good stuff to say.

[Video] If happiness is on the opposite side of success, you brain never gets there
Thanks to my friend Sophia Tran-Vu’s post on Facebook, I found a video which tries to further emphasis positive thinking.
Human willpower, something few people ever tap into.
Love this poem:
If think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don’t
If you like to win, but you think you can’t, its almost certain you won’t
Chance Favors the Connected Mind: Share your Ideas
Chance Favors the Connected Mind
A lot of people have the next “great ideas”, yet most people I talk to think that you have to keep it top secret, and once you create a business out of it, then only then can you share it with people. It’s a myth…

Build a strong belief system
A few things I learned from the great Will Smith:
1) Greatness is not a godlike feature only the special among us will ever possess. It truly exists in all of us. As soon as you understand the following things about yourself:
– I know who I am
– I know what I want
– This is what I believe
And then, you do what you need to do to get what you want. It’s really a very simple concept, but most of us try to over complicate the situation.
Use the following as your guideline:
1) Develop a strong belief system.
2) Don’t ever tell yourself there is something you can’t do. Persistence and Dedication is key.
3) If you are going to be living on this planet, there is a necessity to make a difference. You have to make every person you come in contact with better. If you are not making someone else’s life better, you are wasting your time.
4) Leave a legacy. Make the world to be better because you were here.
Our thoughts, our feelings, our dreams and ideas are physical in the universe. If we dream something and we commit ourselves to it, it’s a physical trust towards realization that we can put into the universe. That the universe is not something that will push us around. That we can demand the universe to become what we want it to be.

Key takeaways:
1) Go and achieve your childhood dreams, experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want
2) When your doing a bad job and no one points it out to you, that means they’ve given up on you
3) The brick walls are not there to block our way…
