Taking Risks

Going Out On a Limb

Too many times do I find myself thinking about possibilities of business ventures, potential relationships, YouTube ideas, among many other topics.

The next step to thinking about an idea is to write it down.  It's in the physical pen to paper habit that concretes the idea into reality.  It helps to visualize the goal and work towards it in a tangible way. This way it can also be posted on a bathroom mirror or office space.  (I like to use a vision board).  TweetMe some of the ways that work for you.

Brainstorming is great and all but putting ideas into action is the key to success.— Ty Swank (@tswank99) July 15, 2016

Visualizing the ideas/goals are crucial to stay on the course to completing the tasks at hand in order to follow through with the goals.  It's all about the end game people.  The last mile on the road to success is never bombarded.

The final step is to cross off items on your list to stay on track with the goal.  It's easy to get discouraged while completing something worthwhile.  There will be obstacles but staying on course and crossing off items as a way to reward yourself for small successes is a profound way to keep the pace.

Best of luck to all.  Don't ever give up.

Look For The Best

Choices

Everything in our lives require a choice.  These choices being with thoughts, which lead to action, and ultimately end up as our reality.

In this spirit, I've chosen to think only positive thoughts.  Something wonderful is going to happen in my life today.

I woke up today after working a 12 hour shift last night.  My thought process was very foggy and also negative.  I was so wired from having to stay up for so long.  My brain was on overload and I hardly slept at all.  Even though sleep deprivation is very common for me, it doesn't warrant a bad attitude.  So I resorted to my gratitude list.

I didn't feel like writing down anything at all in which to be thankful.  It took me a minute to consider the idea that I can be grateful during a low point in my mindset.  IT'S ALL A CHOICE.

Before I knew it there were six items that I appreciated:

1. Compassion for the elderly
2. My youth and ability to endure
3. Having and able body and mind
4.  Thankful that my grandparents are still alive
5. Appreciation for my ability to make people laugh
6. I can talk and relate to anyone

I am proof that anybody can be grateful give the right attitude.  Choose to be amazing & you just might surprise yourself.  You might even inspire others.  Possibility is everywhere; keep searching for your purpose.

Best wishes all

Dream Big and Love the Process

I watched an inspiring message today that brought forth many emotions, reminding me that if I do something, there's a chance to succeed or fail.  Either way, at the very least, I tried. That's all that truly matters. 

Life is a series of choices: speak up or shut up, say yes or say no, go for a run or lay on the couch. We all have 24 hours in a day. Some choose to fill every second of the day, while others choose to waste it all away (It's my inner rapper).

The results of our choices are somewhat predictable, but often times unpredictable as well.  The ripple effect of our decisions go on for years and ultimately affect the rest of our lives.  The problem is when we fail to realize that our actions also affect those around us, especially our loved ones.  Actions carry heavy weight compared to our words or thoughts, so we need to think carefully so that our words lead to actions that are worthy of our loved one's attention.  Mindfulness is key to a healthy life experience.

Since I always speak my mind, blogging is super easy. I've never been the journaling type, but I do love writing. Blogging to me is a hybrid of the two expressions. It's also great that I ramble because there's always a million things on my mind at any given moment, so I hope that at least one sentence means something to somebody. That is my wish. I dream big, live out loud, speak passionately, and very rarely apologize unless I'm severely wrong. 

If you need an honest opinion on a topic/situation, I'm your guy. Let's talk possibility, be real, and be human. Life is a choice, choose wisely

Mindset

Yesterday proved to be fairly challenging as far as mindset and accomplishing my daily goals of creating a website, blogging, and promoting my social media.

It all started out well.  Everything was flowing, ideas were popping up left and right, the website was working in my favor.  Then, there was something challenging that surfaced with the website developing.  Since this is a new avenue for me, you'd think I would be patient with myself, right?  Not a chance.

I was trying to put social media widget links on my blog.  It requires HTML codes, formatting, the nine.  It took longer than I expected, and it was frustrating.

At the end of what seemed like 2 hours, really only took 45 minutes.  The point is that drama has no place in the world of success.  Mindset is 80% of the battle.  It's extremely crucial in achieving goals.

The website is developed and the process wasn't all that serious.  Now, I have to manage it with a positive attitude.

Here's to success.  Have a great one all of you.
