Self Awareness Principle #2.


”When you are negative, you attract negative people.” “Surround yourself with people who lift you up, not pull you down.”

Over the years, I have started to focus on my energy on people currently in my life who build me up: it makes such a difference! I encouraged my mom to do the same. If you are miserable because of a rotten person in your life, they are winning in their childish game. You can’t let them bring you down.

    I agree with this 100%.
    In the past I have had a tendency to become friends with people who end up just making me feel bad about who I was and they never encouraged me. I found myself become down on myself and really negative, so I had to cut them out.
    It was hard but I know that it has been for the best and that I can look back at the situation and see how it made me grow as a person.

    This was the theme of the event I did. The speaker talked on the laws of attraction. Positive action reaps positive rewards. I believe it works. There are negative influences in my life that I cannot remove, but I can see them less often.

Now this is living different

Just do it. (Just Kidding, please don't) Without realizing it, I discovered some lessons about life while watching these talented Jamaicans at Rick's Cafe in Negril last week. Now, I'm definitely not telling you to hang from a cliff with some of your friends, swinging yourself from a 60 ft tree over-looking the carribbean sea. But, these dare devils are clearly not afraid of anything. Cliff jumping must be one of the scariest things that come to my mind. As, I was watching these crazy local Jamaican guys jump from these trees over looking the sea, the following thoughts were racing through my mind: "Who in the world were they listening to that encouraged them to do this?" "Where are their mothers?" "Where did this courage come from?" "Are they on drugs?" "Please don't fall!" I decided there are two options for why these men got the courage to do this: 1) They are on drugs, OR.. 2) They were brought up with parents or ot

Please watch this video before you read my post: Will Smith's 2 Key elements to life Running and Reading Wow. What a great body- I mean concept. There is always that little voice in the back of your head saying "Nope, not worth it.""Naw, that's too hard", "What are you thinking? Don't bother" Great people have ignored this voice and this is why they could make it so far in life. Pushing through the hard things in life is what will get you the opportunities to do that great things in life. Reading other than its obvious benefits such as: expanding your vocabulary, learning from others, and stimulating your mind, etc. I have heard many employers say "One of my interview questions is 'What book are you reading right now?'." Employers want to know that you are continuing to educate yourself. You want to be able to be a leader in any aspect of life not just business. So here are a few must-reads: 1.

Achieving our dreams

Image
Ask yourself honestly: 1. Am i living up to my potential? Honestly (for the majority of us)... No. 2. What do I need to do to take my life to where I want to take it? 3. what is in my life that gives me a sense of value? So you must be wondering: what stops us from achieving our dreams? I'm sorry to break it to you, but it's you . Your inner voice is what talks you out of your dreams, and that inner conversation is exactly what stops you from achieving your dreams. The wealthiest place in the planet is not goldmines, Hollywood, Dubai. When you really think about it. It's the grave yard, where inventions, hopes, dreams, ideas we were never exposed to. These great ideas, inventions, hopes aren't out in the world, because that brilliant person talked themself out of it. We have so much potential, so many great ideas, why do we do this to ourselves? Fear *Note: Fear of falling and and loud sounds is what we are born with, everything else we learn. * Comfortable -
