You Made A Mistake

You made some mistakes last week. Do you even care?!?

You should...but to a certain point.

Do not wallow in the mistakes of last week, just write them down and recognize that it was not a mistake but an opportunity to learn. To learn about yourself and the operation surrounding you. Whether that operation is filled with family, friends, co-workers, ideas, school etc......

The key is not to allow those mistakes to be your stop sign, your road block, or your cause for confusion. You can not turn a mistake into an emotion. An emotion that seeps into your blood stream and causes you to question who you are, who you are meant to become, and your present task at hand.

Mistakes are meant to help form your experiences. I compare mistakes to a video game. In some video games a player has three lives. Once you make three mistakes, you...as the player dies. But do you stop playing...No!!! You recognize it and now you play more proficiently because you know what detail to watch and what not to do.

Mistakes help to tailor and streamline your movements.

This week keep moving and keep pushing.

Mistakes...the best leaders make them. A newspaper editor fired Walt Disney because he said he "lacked imagination and had no original ideas". That did not stop him from his goals.


Go out and make this week yours!!!!

50 Cents new book "50th Law" is the TRUTH

Now I do not buy his music and I do not run to the computer to download his videos...basically on the musical side of things I am not a fan. I respect him but not a musical fan.

One thing I can not put past 50 Cent is that he is a genius. He is inventive and knows how to create a situation not for a moment but so that it continuously leads to another endeavor or opportunity. Many of us, as human beings, do things for a moment until we can create another moment. Its as if we always start from the beginning. But 50 Cent has learned the art of what I like to call "chain opportunities".

Chain Opportunities is basically looking at an opportunity and figuring out what to do to make that opportunity lead to another opportunity or endeavor. 50 Cent teaches in the "50th Law" by giving concrete examples from his experiences how to do this and how to make it an art form.

Also the "50th Law" had a great co-author and that is Robert Greene. Robert Greene is the author of the best selling book "48 Laws of Power". For those that have not read it, it is a very powerful book and that if used the wrong way can actually be used to support evil intentions.

Robert Greene and 50 Cent have together written a great book! The book uses 50 Cent's experiences (even from drug dealing days) and Robert Greens flips it and teaches how to use the specific tool in every day life.

I recommend the "50th Law" for those that need to expand their mind to think beyond the moment and move into the next experience or opportunity.

No Attachments

If I am what I have and I lose what I have. Then what am I? - Author Psychologist

Be careful what you attach yourself to and the things/people you allow to make you whole.

It is a common fact as human beings that if we come into a situation; whether that situation is a job, a relationship, or a particular endeavor; half suited. As a result we look for that other thing to make us whole. We become dependent on that other half because it has given us feelings that really we should already feel on the inside already.

As human beings we should already feel secure, joyful, stable, and content before entering into any type of agreement because we begin feel connected to that thing as if our umbilical cord was attached to it when we were born.

To give another example, would you ever arrive at a table to negotiate with half a hand or having less power. Or being at the table would you display your powerlessness? Why allow this to happen on a daily basis?

Do not allow something or someone to be the filler for your emptiness.

So, how does one protect themselves from this? Ask and answer the following 3 questions continuously, not just once, but at least once a month:

1. What emptiness do you feel within? Do you feel lonely, bored, not loved, stuck....? Figure out why you feel that way and give a solution but that solution must be an extension of you.

2. What is blocking from becoming whole or complete? Maybe you rely too much upon a person or do you watch too much television which blocks you from living or learning about your authentic self?

3. What are you allowing to be the validation of who you are?

This is a process and not a one time activity. You will have to do this continuously through out your life. But it is better to do this continuously instead of getting sucked in and fighting your way to get out and return to yourself.
