How to Find More Personal Peace
1- Forgive Yourself
You are human. You are imperfect by nature, and your imperfection is a gift. Mistakes are an essential part of learning. Overcoming your flaws and picking yourself up when you fail is where the greatest glory and sense of
In march of 2021 I got out of my shower and walked to my living room where my wife was. She approached me and gave me a kiss. I heard a loud ringing in my ears and slumped forward, my head falling into her chest. She lifted my chin wondering what I was doing. I fell to the floor

Took the vax under threat of loss of job and business. Suffered a nuero event that left me disabled. I fought hard and rehabbed myself without help from the medical community. 3 years later I am 90% back. It was hell!
You cannot control your thoughts.
You can choose to think a thought.
You do not choose every thought that you think.
My problem with hearing so many people say "control your thoughts" is that, it is impossible. In fact, the attempt to control thought creates compulsive
After seeing what cell phones and texting have done to people's ability to write and communicate face to face,
I am not looking forward to what AI will do to people's ability to think and create.
Belief is powerful!
It is generating results in your life.
Faith is belief/confidence in a positive outcome.
Fear is belief/confidence in a negative outcome.
Be careful with where you place your belief.
Life gets easier when you realize that, to be 'offended' is a choice.
Even when someone says something horribly offensive, you don't have to be offended.
It is not worth the emotional price you pay.
People often cannot see their potential.
Some people have spent their whole life being told what they can and cannot do and believing that it is true.
Be the person who believes in someone who cannot see it for themselves.
Sometimes this is all it takes for someone to break
I see people on here talking about how affirmations are BS.
Affirmations, like anything else, can be done correctly and incorrectly.
They are a way to personally customize the programming you feed your brain to meet your very personal needs.
I use them to program new
Fear is a natural process, a natural signal. If you ignore fear, you’re not dealing with the situation as is. You need to have fear, respect of what’s going to happen. If you don’t respect it, you can’t deal with it.
Don't worry about the fear. Embrace it! 💪❤️
Fear, anxiety and depression comes from the improper use of our imagination.
You can just as easily imagine a positive outcome and stew in the emotions of achieving your goals.
You were designed to live in a world that was much harsher and more dangerous than the one in which you live.
To endure that world we were given instincts meant to help us SURVIVE.
You cannot rely on survival instincts and expect to THRIVE.
It is so interesting to watch people refuse to look at the information that could save them a lot of future pain ALL to avoid the temporary discomfort of making life changes now.
14 years ago today I became a Dad for the first time.
Nothing comes close to the happiness that being a Dad has brought me and nothing has given me more motivation to be a good man and achieve success like having daughters.
Get Married, have children and live up to your
Freedom begins with the recognition of the distinction between your higher self and the animal form that you live in.
Without this distinction and separation you identify with the voice of your brain and the emotional state of your body.
Your thoughts are to be evaluated,
Pay attention!!
To how you think.
How you feel.
How you communicate.
How you react.
How you show up.
Awareness grows little by little.
It cannot be gained without your attention.
Life gets difficult, painful, or chaotic.
You deploy your survival instincts in order to survive the pain and chaos and it works.
The painful era ends, and life becomes more comfortable.
You now have a positive association with some of the more aggressive, defensive, and
Fasting update.
Day 5 has been really tough! Went to a business conference and the whole building smelled very strong of food the whole conference. Nearly gave up!
Do you think you have problems?
I took a few employees out for an upscale meal tonight as a ‘thank you’ for their good work.
One of them in particular stood out as extremely happy and content with life. I started asking her questions as I could tell she was from Mexico and I
Your kids don’t owe you everything.
As they reach adulthood they will begin to measure the value of this relationship from an adult perspective. If your current contribution to the relationship is demands, expectations, toxicity, abuse and judgement, a healthy adult would
"Awareness of ignorance is the beginning of wisdom."

The more I learn, the more I become aware of how little I know. It makes me feel extremely small.
Not in a bad way.
Learning is and should be a humbling experience and should shake the certainty right out of you.
Emotions feel real.
They are nothing more than chemicals in your blood stream.
You are not your emotions.
Without a healthy distance from your emotions, you cannot expect to act intelligently when you experience them.
People's ability to deny evidence is stunning!
Look honestly at your results.
Too many people standing on a mountain of shitty results trying to tell me to be more like them.
Your emotions are not facts. They are real to you and you only. Emotional maturity is the ability to validate other's emotions (not agreeing with them), because you understand that they are having a real experience, and to never impose your emotions on others, because you
If you are overwhelmed by your problems…. You need perspective!
How can you get it?
1- Start talking to people. You’re not looking for people who relate. You are looking for people who have bigger problems than you. You won’t have to look far to find someone who has gone
Decided to end my fast. Didn’t make it to day 7. My body was telling me enough and I listened. Feeling great! Eating really clean today as I reintroduce food.
Conditional parenting is a subtle form of abuse.
I love you if and I love you when.
Turns into a lifetime of……
I will be good enough if,
I will be happy when.
I just finished a 4-day fast.
It sucked!
**Why do I fast?**
1. **Health**
It would be impossible to detail the many benefits. Just know there is no cocktail of medications or supplements that can induce anything close to the benefits of a 4-5 day fast.
2. **Focus**
**Labels can make you complacent**
Be especially wary of movements and institutions that carry labels. The label itself is often an intentional deception. Alternatively, the institution or movement might have initially represented a set of principles that compelled you to join.
So you took a test/assessment and discovered your ‘personality type’?
Be careful!
These assessments can be useful. They can serve as a measurement of where you are right now, given your current set of circumstances.
Personality is not permanent!
Any one of us can think
If you sit in a position of authority and your decisions greatly affect people’s lives….
Please let that responsibility humble you….
If it doesn’t… you shouldn’t be in that role.
I believe humans have (or can have) free will but..
Most don’t seem to realize it.
So a prerequisite to free will seems to be the awareness of it.
Without that awakening you are just a slave.
Thoughts?
You cannot improve upon that which you are unaware.
You have a brain that resists you seeing the ways in which you should change in order to avoid the expenditure of energy required to change.
Feedback is essential to removing blind spots.
Seek it. Ask for it. Measure your
It is uncomfortable to experience an existential crisis but I would encourage you to stop avoiding having one.
It is better to regularly self evaluate and experience a small "crisis" causing you to make digestible changes little by little than to avoid looking at yourself until
I will accept whatever I need to in order to become the best version of myself.
I will stop resisting.
Resistance creates resistance and I want no more of it.
I accept that pain, struggle and heartache are part of the process.
No need to be upset about it.
Overcome and
I've met a lot of people who's best stories are behind them. They spend their time looking into the rearview mirror of life reminiscing about the glory days.
Distracted by the glory days, they miss the present moment and fail to look at the road ahead.
Get people to say 'No' to you.
'Yes' oriented questions trigger anxiety in the person being asked.
Each time we say 'Yes' or when we make commitments, it represents a loss of personal freedom.
'Can we talk?'
When asked this, a conversation begins to take place inside your
Everything that happens to you in this life is a gift, an opportunity to learn and grow. The ONLY failure is to NOT use each experience for this purpose.
Why do cold showers/plunges help resolve panic attacks/anxiety?
They induce the physical symptoms of a panic attack without the mental or emotional trigger. The colder the more intense the symptoms.
You learn to breathe through and manage the symptoms of the experience,
Most people approach a relationship with a list of demands and expectations. In other words, they consider, "What can I get/take from this?" Each demand acts as a debit on the relationship account. Eventually, the account is bled dry, and the relationship dies.
Consider instead:
Entitlement is victimhood.
A rejection of the idea that results are a product of action.
'I don't need to change because I am already good enough and I should have what I deserve.'
Your emotional intelligence or EQ is a much greater indicator of your success potential than IQ.
We all have met that person that is too smart for their own good.
Incredibly intelligent, but cannot work with people, effectively share their ideas or motivate a team to get behind
