    Try and have faith.  But if you can’t feel faith, then reach for apathy.  If you can’t feel apathy, you reach for anger/despair/sorrow… I work with what I feel, knowing that there will be a moment it runs its course and opens into a better-feeling state.  The key isn’t to try and force positivity, but…

    There’s little we can do except consistently apply ourselves, and fervently believe in our inherent worthiness—that we deserve victory and will be rewarded with it. But when you think about it, that’s not doing a “little,” that’s doing a hell of a lot.  People have accomplished amazing feats with discipline and belief. Get Echo Vol. 1…

    Embrace discomfort.  Within the stress and frustration, there lie opportunities for growth and wisdom.  They’re granted to those with an open mind. Enjoy the pleasure as well, for you’ll get heartily sick of it soon enough, and wish for something more challenging. Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here:  Vol. 1 on Kindle.  Vol. 2 on Kindle here:…

    Even when bad things are happening, I do my best to pretend there’s a good reason behind their occurrence.  That way, I cue my subconscious to look for the hidden advantages and opportunities within seemingly adverse events.

    Once I got good at constantly applying myself, I found I was most successful when I constantly applied myself in a relaxed, easygoing manner.

    Do your best to live what you believe to be true (because what is “true,” really?). Or what you know is false will tear you apart.

    I think one of the greatest judgments to place on an experience is:  “that’s the best thing that ever happened to me.”   Of course you could argue whether that’s true or false, but consistently stating that to myself primes my perception to accept/find/utilize any lessons within the experience that turns my mantra from belief into…

    It is possible, I believe, to re-program the subconscious by consistently recognizing an undesirable/reactive thought pattern, then deliberately countering it with a desirable one, which will eventually replace its obsolete predecessor. In this way, I believe one can destroy the collection of beliefs/tendencies that could roughly define the”self” or “ego” and turn a negative self-image…

    Whether it’s magic or science, psychologists, mentalists, and doctors have proven that belief and self-image is a tangible force; it can heal the body, create and destroy fortunes, and open the mind to unseen opportunities.  Stay in the realm of what viscerally feels “realistic,” but reach for improvement as often as possible.  Don’t be afraid…

    If happiness is a choice (and I believe it is) then you gotta be gangster about it.  No one but you lays claim to it—enemies, friends, families, torturers, material goods, “good” or “bad” twists of fortune…no one and nothing.
