Living A Feel-Good Life Is Not About Not Doing Things When You Don’t Want To Or Don’t Feel Like It

October 6, 2020

I just want to clear something up about living a feel-good life, because I think the phrase “feel-good” can sometimes mislead people to think that if they don’t want to or don’t feel like doing something, they shouldn’t do it. And that’s not it at all.

It’s about doing more of what feels good to you. It’s about focusing your life (and business) around getting to spend most of your time doing things that feel good.

And it’s about taking the things you know you need to do but either aren’t doing or are claiming don’t make you feel good so you can avoid them, and finding a way to make them feel good. So that you will do them or at least will have less resistance to doing them.

All You Ever Have To Do Is Just Focus On What’s Right In Front Of You

October 5, 2020

Over the weekend, I went to a resort in the mountains and did some hiking. I even completed a rock scramble which started at ground-level and took me all the way up the mountain to the highest point where there’s a historic tower.

Before I started the scramble-hike, I thought I could handle it. It didn’t look that hard.

But once I was deeper into it, I realized I was wrong.

On Relentless Determination and Being Unavailable For Anything Except Getting What You Want

September 3, 2020

This is my dog, Weiland (see pic). He is relentlessly determined to get what he wants and he is always unavailable for not getting it. He expects to get it and will not give up until he does.

Take, for instance, this morning. I put some gluten-free toast in the toaster and then set everything out to make a BLT (yes, I eat those in the morning). I hate making sandwiches when my toast is hot because it melts the mayo and I like my mayo cold. So once the toast was done, I left it in the toaster to cool down and I went into the living room to listen to a podcast episode.

Normally, Weiland follows me everywhere I go. But not this morning. This morning he wanted some of the bacon he knew was on the counter.

And he wasn’t giving up until he got it.

Are You Focusing On What You Want Or On What You Don’t Want?

August 14, 2020

Sometimes we think we’re focusing on what we want in life or business, but what we’re actually doing is focusing on the lack of having what we want.

How is this possible, you ask? How can we possibly think we’re focusing on what we want but actually be focusing in opposition to it?

It’s pretty simple.

Your Future Is Being Created By What You Choose In The Present

July 24, 2020

You often think that next Wednesday or next month or even tomorrow is already figured out and pre-ordained to be a certain way. You think this because you use your physical senses to look around in your physical reality, and then you assume that whatever you see right now is what you’ll also see tomorrow or next Wednesday or next month or next year.

But the real truth is, next Wednesday, next month, next year, and even tomorrow, is a totally blank slate.
