Be grateful for what you have

Watching this video makes you realize just how fortunate we are in our current situations and further emphasizes the fact to never give up on your goal. The story told by this Romanian details his trek trying to escape from Romania and how he ultimately arrived in Montreal Canada with barely any food or water.

 

Sometimes we aren’t grateful of where we are, what we have, and how fortunate we are to live in such an amazing country I call Canada.

Very few people realize how blessed we are to be where we are today, and likely have never faced against the odds that these guys faced.

I’d like to leave with the message to not take what we have for granted, and to be grateful for where we are and to give back to help others in need from time to time. We’d want the same thing in their situation.

And when you want to sit for hours on end procrastinating, watch some inspirational videos, and be proactive and make a difference.

Dare to pursue your dream

Do these three things everyday:

1) Laugh

2) Think and self-reflect

3) Have a lot of emotion

Figure out where you are, and where you want to be.

Have a dream, a goal, and work towards it.

Enjoy your life.

Be enthusiastic everyday.

Nothing great can come without enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is defined by wikipedia as inspiration or possession by a divine afflatus or by the presence of a god. Or in other words, from the god within you. Now you see why everything I have been saying focuses on you as an individual? And why self improvement is the most important thing to becoming a great human being?

Don’t give up, don’t ever give up. We are faced with challenges and roadblocks not to bring us down, but to build ourselves up.

[Video] Present like Steve Jobs

If you appear unsure, you’ll be seen as unsure. Walk into a room with confidence.

I’ve been to so many networking events, and met many interesting people.

What separates the best, from the rest, is how you convey yourself. Your body language determines how well you are perceived. If you cross your arms, you appear to me as being close minded. Watch how Steve Jobs, just youtube it.

Then watch this video:

It takes a lot of practice to be good at something, and networking and interviews are no different. Next time you ask yourself why you didn’t get that job, or couldn’t connect well with that key person. Ask yourself how you could do it better next time, write it down, and make a conscious effort to improve yourself. Greatness comes from consistent actions to improving yourself first.

And like Jeffery Gitomer says: “If you don’t understand yourself first, how can you hope to understand anybody else?”

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.

The Internet + Social Media Age

We are very fortunate to live in the technological and social media age.

Many of the barriers of the pre-internet age have been broken.

You have a greater chance to make your voice heard, more than ever before.

Facebook and twitter have made the world a very connected place, where your message can reach a vast number of individuals in a very short period of time.

In the 1990s, your mediums of communication were snail mail (cheapest), radio (expensive) or TV (really expensive). It was also very difficult to reach a vast audience, quickly.

Today, email, blogging, youtube, twitter and facebook are all free or near free services, that are instant.

You really can do anything much easier, so take action for what you believe in. Add value to the world, you’ll be surprised at what you’ll get in return.

The great Charlie “Tremendous” Jones, author of “Life is Tremendous” once said: the thing that set you apart between now, and 5 years are the people you meet and the books you read. So get online, meet and interact with as many people as you can. You’ll soon realize that the world truly is a miraculous place.

And I don’t mean being on your smartphone when your on a date and not talking to the person in front of you, you know who you are 🙂

[Video] Rare Interview with Tony Robbins on Secret of life

Very insightful interview with Tony Robbins on “The Hour”

Life not easy, but nothing in life is permanent, no problem is permanent, nothing is so pervasive that you can’t change it. ~ Tony Robbins

Have certainty before you do anything, be in the zone

Most people have so much breadth, but no depth in their life

When your life doesn’t match your expectations, you are going to feel crappy

If your not happy where you are, what is it all for?

Makes small improvements each day

When you get old in life, things get taken from you but that’s part of life

And you only learn that when you start losing stuff

The margin between success and failure is so small, that sometimes success comes down to small inch like improvements. Adjusting how you say that one sentence, or do that one action.

But if you make small improvements day by day, you’ll learn where to add and subtract those inches

Because you know, that those small inches, are the difference between winning and losing.

The guy that’s willing to die to earn that inch, to improve himself and be the best he can be, that’s what living is about.

Focus on yourself and improvement a bit day by day, and live to be your best. That’s what living well is all about.

Love thie quote

From the great Tony Robbins

“The secret to success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you’re in control of your life. If you don’t, life controls you.”
