We live in a world with immense opportunities,

A place where innovation and change are eminent,

Where the desire for understanding and knowledge has become abundant,

and our commonalities increasingly transparent.

Its a world where Love is Triumphant of Hate,

and Compassion overcomes Spite.

A Place where imagination is celebrated,

and Vision can be embraced.

A time for Living, unlike ever before.

Where a sole decision to change,  can influence ubiquitous progression.

Where affirmation of success is no longer just monetary value,

but also found in the impact it makes.

We are at a time and place of infinite possibilities.

Find acceptance for the past,

and perspicaciously search for the good that was found in the bad.

Courageously pursue your Dreams,

and Embrace your desires for the future.

Take complete Responsibility as the procuring cause in your Legacy.

And conscientiously be aware that our responses define who we are.

Be Great, The Power Is In You!

As my inability to fall asleep transpired, and hopes of rest quickly diminished; I had unintentionally began playing the blame game in my own mind. Blinded with spite, I had begun a vindictive search to condemn everyone and anything for the challenges in my life; Everyone, except for MYSELF. The sleep deprivation I was experiencing, was driven by anxiety and a false sense of worth. As the night grew longer, I found my Mental Aptitude diverge into exploring the contrary perspective. A maturity had blossomed when I took responsibility for everything in my life, my thoughts began to gradually increase towards finding a solution. The value of never giving up, became more than just a cliché moto, It became my mission! A cognizant understanding of multiple view points and the true efficacy behind self-awareness became transparent and my thoughts became strategic!

My own culpable ignorance had prevented me from procuring a competent mind set. A mind set that seeks acceptance, rather than places judgment. A mind set that exudes compassion and sympathy, instead of obloquy and malice. Discontent for my negative attitude rapidly accumulated, and a pure annoyance for self-absorbed thinking began to accrue. The unhappiness I was experiencing was critical in signifying what self-imposed limitations had been holding me back. Once I became solution oriented, rather than problem minded; laser-like focus became second nature.  I soon found myself reminiscing on the diverse coaching techniques I acquired throughout my training with CTI., and how I could apply them to my life  During my training, I was able to partake in and witness tremendous growth. I began to signify some common characteristics that were beneficial in achieving growth, all of which are essential to a positive and lasting change. One trait that significantly stood out, is the power of having an increased self-awareness.

To be aware; means to have knowledge or perception of a specific item or person. 

As our awareness begins to broaden, our decisions can become increasingly more strategic. 

By accepting the self imposed limitations we burden ourselves with to be false, the saboteur beliefs, that we all must face, are discredited and exposed to be weak. An understanding of this, places the power back into our control.

With more information easily accessible, the opportunity for a heightened awareness dramatically increases! Just by considering the possibility of an infinite number of contenders, positive solutions begin to abundantly present themselves.

Questioning and Exploring the multiple perspectives can be inferred to some as miniscule, mundane tasks.  A fictitious opinion found predominantly in closed-minded individuals. An excuse for individuals that lack the realization of their true potential. A Perspective taken only by individuals that let self-imposed beliefs define what they are capable of!

Never cower to the hateful attempts guided by jealousy, the less fortunate will diminish the fire inside you! Ignore the jealous individuals, more than likely, they will criticize the very trait they envy the most in You. Stand confident in your pursuit for more, and question the biased beliefs that most ignorantly accept as truth. Audit diverse theories and develop your understanding. Search for progress and avoid stagnation! Consider the multiple outcomes at stake, and ask yourself ,” is this perspective ultimately the best suited solution for the scenario?”

With diligent interpretation and honest understanding, the very occurrence I had abhorred the most, became the defining moment in making the choice to be grateful for all the good and accepting of the bad. Without the bad, the good would cease to exist!

Appreciation for the good is only possible with a humble understanding of the bad, as well as the opposite correlation.

 Prior to my enlightenment, I would find myself overwhelmed with self-loathing and pity. I had resisted coming to terms with just how erroneous the theory was, and I blindly accepted it as a fact.  

Before I was overcome with fear, especially when the realization of how little due diligence I had done prior would hit me. That negative mind set led to procrastination. Racing against a dwindling amount of time became an eminent obstacle to overcome. The shallow mindset I had acquired while avoiding the inevitable, resulted in an ignorance of what was required to overcome.

My life, prior to committing to “only optimism“, lacked honest reflection.  I came to terms with the uneducated opinion I had of negative occasions in my life. Once I swallowed my pride, I was able to embrace the truth that I had been denying. The heightened self-awareness prepared me to develop and implement a well-informed plan to change them! It required stretching myself and redefining the pessimistic opinions I had concerning the past. I had to define those moments as detrimental factors in constructing the man I am today. I made a decision to act and from that moment forward, spiteful thinking became gratitude and forgiveness. The hard knocks I had blamed were actually moments of clarity and a positive influence for what was in store.

The characteristics and traits that I am most proud to proclaim, the influencing factors for who I have AM today, were manifested in the darkest times!  My tenacious spirit and intense passions, were molded in the hardest moments.  

Don’t wish for things to be easy, work to be stronger. Adapt to new challenges and courageously face adversity along the way.

Soon, an opportunistic view becomes second nature, and new things to be thankful for start to manifest.

 Spiteful thinking and pessimistic reasoning are the only possible outcomes to be found when searching for factors or individuals to blame it on!

FORGET ABOUT BASKING IN NEGATIVITY!

I am choosing to search relentlessly for optimistic ideologies and positive perspectives, no matter the circumstances!

This powerful way of thinking opens up a depth of understanding that the misinformed interpret as some divine esoteric trait; one that only those predestined for success are graced with from birth.

When in actuality, it is merely an understanding that the power is in our control!

So be Tenacious in your Pursuit, Perspicacious in how you Perceive, and always be the individual exemplifying the Hardest Hustle!

Shout out to all the Dreamers, the Believers, and most importantly the Achievers.

To the Individuals that advocate to Disprove the fictitious belief that something is Impossible.

To those that contend the erroneous limitations that coincide with doubt in what is Possible!

To the Leaders who enlighten and empower the misinformed!

The individuals that focus on the creation of their Legacy,

rather than constantly seeking culpability in their circumstances!

To the individuals who exemplify the power of Resiliency over Adversity,

and to the individuals that invigorate those that are equivocal of their aptitude to overcome!

No matter what stage of your life you are at,

Self-Reflection of your actions is a must!

Explore and question the correlation between your actions and your desired outcome.

We must understand the power that comes with an Awareness of the infinite  choices we have on a daily basis! Consistent Awareness of all the choices before us, Refreshes the fact that there is perpetually infinite perspectives to everything!

Your Perspective is one individuals point of view, or basically their personal opinion of the scenario or situation.

When you acknowledge that for everything and anything,

there is an infinite number of different perspectives.

You begin to become enlightened of all the possibilities that present themselves within the separate Perspectives.

Now why is that important you might ask?

Everyone of us is faced with Trials and Adversity throughout our life,

and in order to insure our actions are in alignment with our Aspirations, it will require a heightened awareness.

We must first be diligent in our observation, and honest in our deliberations when considering the best plan of attack.

If we can understand that there is multiple routes to the same item or thing, then we are better aware of the multiple choices we have and what results could potentially come from the separate perspectives.

With increased awareness of multiple options gives you the ability to  make a more educated decision.

To put it in lay mans terms, “how can you choose the best option, if you are not even aware of the best solution?”

Some will argue, that the type of intuition required, is something you were either born with or you have no chance to acquire it.

Some will say that developing such a Perspicacious understanding is Impossible, and with that Perspective that is most certainly true for them! They have already decided that they can’t, or that they are not willing to put in the work to make it possible!

So what is Impossible??

Impossible means; not able to occur, exist, or be done.

So who is it that decides if something is Impossible for you?

You Do!

When the thought of not being able to accomplish something enters into our minds,

Than we have accepted that as our limit.

Yet without our personal declaration of what our limitations are, (whether it be sub-consciously or consciously),

Then who is to determine what is possible for us?

No one, except You!

What we do in this one lifetime is ultimately dependent only on ourselves,

and only us alone can design the Destiny we Long For,

that’s the beauty of free choice!

Many will argue, that a specific individual, other than themselves, is the root of all their problems.

If the Solution is that Simple,

Then why would you relinquish complete control of the outcome and possibly even the Conclusion of Your Life!

Have the humility to swallow your pride and look for the factors within your control.

You give up control of the situation when blame is placed elsewhere.

If you continue to let the negative individual inhabit your life,

Then You Have Just Made A Choice!

Choose to be courageous when standing up for yourself,

And Accept the fact that some of the most crucial conversations we need to have in life,

Are quite often the ones we dread the most!

Face your negative anxieties, and stretch your comfort zones!

An ever growing hatred for excuses, will begin to blossom within you, as you advance and expand your introspective skills.

With each Crucial Conversation you Embrace,

your confidence will increase, and your anxieties diminish!

Take the risk to be uncomfortable short-term, so that you can be prepared for the long-term.

By only focusing on the problem rather than accepting the truth,

You will always lack the outlook to see all the choices you truly Have!

Dig down and find what others see as Impossible.

A Mindset that overcomes and develops resiliency,

is a necessity,

especially if changing what was previously thought to be Impossible,

to the Possible is in your Plans!

You Can Bet, That Proving the Impossible is in Fact Possible, is Part of Mine!
