The Twitter Phenom

I’ve been amazed by all the new Social Media content that’s been blasting it’s way through the internet today. Even PCWorld Magazine has a few page article explaining what twitter is and it’s uses and advantages of becoming a twitter phenom. It’s a simple an amazing way to ‘micro-blog’ your way to straight and to the point facts about what your doing. I registered with the Anthony Robbins Foundation as a Las Vegas Coordinator for this coming Thanksgiving Basket Brigade. Sites like, LinkedIn, Meetup.com, facebook, and Twitter helps me get the word out.there’s even a place called tweetup! haha. It’s all about efficiency and effectiveness these days. And even Nevada’s Early Voting is efficient and fast, no matter if you vote for Mccain or vote for Obama

With the world becoming smaller everyday thanks to sites like Google, Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Meetup.com, and LinkedIn it’s easy to get caught up in the humdrum of daily life kind of forgetting and becoming robotic in nature. In a world that’s everchanging and uncertainty boils in times like these, the tools to quickly find oneself is key. So make sure to sit and relax in times like these. You never know what crazy idea you might come up with.

Impulsive?

What?!?! I’m an impulsive thrillseeking whackjob! Well that’s how it was. I just gained a lot of new insight today about myself, about my coaching model, as well as how I’d like to coach. Coaching is the one thing that has been on my mind since I got into personal development. The benefits and rewards definitely outweigh all the hard work, the emotional fears and self doubt, that come with starting your own business. Coaching for me is the constant in my life right now. So why am I impulsive? No clue why… but it doesn’t matter because I’m finally aware that I am impulsive. I spend a good amount of time and energy reinforcing that behavior in neutral, favorable, and destructive ways. We all do that from time to time but for me it’s been a destructive habit. It spills into the financial area or my life which causes more stress than anything else. And really realizing it makes me see why I’m not progressing in other areas as well, specifically relationships. I’ll cling on to the first woman that displays interest in me, get clingy, and FORCE the relationship to work. Instead of taking a step back and analyzing how this will affect my life differently if this woman isn’t what I’m looking for. This same recurring habit effects my financial well being, spending foolishly on things that won’t add any value to my life. Or just plain spending too much without budgeting. Impulsive, which means, according to the Merriam Webster Dictionary:

Pronunciation: im-pl-siv
Function: adjective
1 : having the power of or actually driving or impelling
2 : actuated by or prone to act on impulse <impulsive behavior>
3 : acting momentarily

Growth & Reflection:
To grow from this I’ll have to accept that I simply a human being that has wants and needs. And although these wants and needs are struck by my impulsive nature, I must take the time to really think about things before acting. Before purchasing anything at all, I’ll give myself until the next day before I decide. If I find a lady that’s interesting, I’ll take the time to get to know her for at least 3 months before developing any emotional commitment to her. If I find myself acting on a situation to go out with my friends, I must make sure that my schedule permits me to do so. Before acting I must make a conscious effort to step back and reanalyze if the certain action will add value to my career goals and relationship goals. I must take the time to act on wisdom rather than impulse.

Alright… enough! New updates… I’ve added a new music page to the website, focusing on what certain musical inspirations have kept me moving forward. there will be regular updates, as well as new things added to this web site. But for now enjoy the new song: The Music Page

enjoy!

Perspective. Part 1.

Two classes today. Amazing! One thing that dawned on me early in my FC102 class was that this class would be interesting. We all have different ways of interpreting situations in life. Interestingly enough, Tony Robbins was doing a seminar in Hawaii when 9/11 happened. And what he noticed was that people from around the world fall into categories. The angry people got angry, the caretakers became caretakers, the guilty felt guilt, and so on and so forth. Now let’s take this a step further. Let’s say we take a person that’s depressed and put him in a situation where he’s totally uncomfortable. A skydie, whoops I meant skydive. How do you think this person would react in that situation? Now take a confident, adventurous young lady and put her in that situation, how would she react?

As we can see our lives are shaped by the way we interpret situations. When we put out the energy of depression, we get more of it. When we put out the energy of unhappiness, we get more of it. But what if by some miracle we did the opposite? What if by some amazing feat we can suddenly become confident? Suddenly become happy? Suddenly become fulfilled right now in the present? How would that look like? Well it’d look like this:

Yes, that’s what you’d look like. Haha! A simple happy being on this earth. It’s possible to be happy now if you really wanted to. All you need to do is to look at this picture for a few minutes and imagine you were that happy. Then start thinking about all the things that make you smile. Smile Big! What makes you happy? Could it be that you have friends and family who care about you? Could it be that you have a connection with someone special? Anything that puts a smile on your face is great. Do this for 5 minutes everyday. Watch, listen, and feel how your perspective changes.

Life is a matter of how we all interpret situations. Randy Pausch was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, his book, “The Last Lecture” is an amazing story of a man who achieved his childhood dreams and lived long enough for the world to hear his voice. A man who smiled big even in the face of death.

I have a habit of judging people sometimes. And I feel that it’s a habit that needs to be broken. So for the next week I’m going to compliment every person that walks within 5 feet of me. And tell 3 of my closest friends how much I care about them. I’ll report the results in my journal and next week, we’ll analyze and decode what I did to get out of my judgmental points of view.

My Reflection Post: Influence Life

Know what’s realistic, and not overdue.

I just finished going through a trial session with a coach of mine: Linda Blaine
She introduced herself as a 56-year old grandma! The rapport was great throughout the entire conversation. And she definitely knows her stuff. She reframed my perspective on a lot of different aspects of my life. And I’m definitely excited about the new progress that will be made in the next year. If i learned anything in my past 22 years of living, it’s this: There are certain absolutes that need to be taken when going head first into a goal. And these absolutes are commitment and focus. Without it, guess what, it’ll take a lot longer, you’ll be spending energy on things that you think might matter but don’t really, you’ll be in a position of stress, and frustration. Remember the last blog I had made? About having a breakthrough? Here it is:

Allow time to balance yourself. Know what’s realistic, and not overdue. If it’s on the calendar, don’t let it slip.

In addition to this I personally have a new set of Board Of Directors: 3 of them to be exact: My Coach, Linda. And 2 of the guys I’ve known since I was a kid. Ryan and Derek. Congratulations is in order. These are the 3 that I’ve recruited to help me through ICA and if possible through out the rest of my time here on this earth.

“If you talk about it, it’s a dream. If you envision it, it’s possible. But if you schedule it, it’s real.”

Penn & Teller Bullshit!

I’d like to open up a forum on what people think about the self-help industry. Personally I believe that what you think definitely motivates your actions. As far as the gimmicks of fire-walking, walking on glass, and breaking arrows and boards, I believe that they don’t do much. But it does add a form of reference to eliminate fear. Watch the video, see what you think. Again Penn & Teller are working on a bias of Bullshit. the 80/20 rule applies everywhere, even in the self-help industry. 80% of the people attending these seminars will sit and listen but not get anything out of the seminars, I used to be that way. The other 20% will gain the results. It’s a decision made personally to gain results daily, not by a seminar. Watch and learn and discuss.
