Do what you love and love what you do!

by SK on January 22, 2010

Has anyone ever told you do what you love and love what you do? If not I’m telling you right now that this advice will definitely change your life. After working with older men and women I started to see a pattern emerge from our conversations. 9 times out of 10 everyone tells me the famous line that I just shared with you. They told me stories on how they made others rich while they managed to live a depressing life.

Imagine a life waking up knowing exactly what you’ll do every day for the rest of your life, how fun would that be? Imagine a life where your boss doesn’t even know your name and where your fellow employees are looking out for their own interests. Imagine a life where you know you’re just getting by. In many cases, this is the reality of a lot of people in the world.

Many people today are simply grinding it out living day-to-day with no fun or variety. A lot of times their jobs get them so overwhelmed, angry, and depressed that it rubs off on everyone around them. Do you really want to be one of those people? My guess is that you probably don’t want that kind of lifestyle.

All I ask, as a friend, is that you actually try to do what you really want to do in life. I know it sounds simple but this is probably one of the most complex life choices that you’ll ever have to make. If you’re an aspiring artist you probably hear that they don’t get paid much. Your mommy and daddy would rather you be a doctor. If you’re a model people expect you to be a certain way. If you’re an actor, people tell you it’s impossible to make it.

My only reply to that is: “It’s better to try something and fail at it because you’ll never ask, WHAT IF?”

What’s better than a 2010 resolution?

by SK on January 18, 2010

Forget all that New Year’s resolution bull crap, I think I’d rather stick to my daily goals. The reason for that is because many people tend to get discouraged way too fast when it comes to major goals. Instead of trying to catch a shark why not catch a little fish first. Then maybe, just maybe,  then you can work yourself up to that shark. The problem with people and their New Year’s resolutions is the fact that people think very unrealistic.

I know everyone tells you reach for the stars but before that you got a build a ship that can get you there and find fuel that will help you reach your destination. Don’t just wake up one day and say I’m going to be a millionaire because it’s not going to happen just like that. But if you really do want to make it big and become successful you need to have daily goals. Your brain works in a very simple way.

The secret is telling your brain exactly what to do and when you want it. If you’re thirsty you tell your body to move into the fridge and drink a cold. If you’re hungry you walk to your car and drive to a fast food joint. If you want to become successful you tell your brain the steps necessary in order to achieve that goal.

Writing down daily goals will help you master achievement. If you keep setting yourself up for failure your never get anywhere and you always say “I suck!”

So do us all a favor and don’t suck… prove everyone wrong and make people proud!
