While being, “Self-Made” is important, and always doing our very best to upgrade every aspect of our human experiences every chance we get, even more important is the realization that others will motivate, inspire, teach, and help us all along the way.  It is empowering to work like everything depends upon us and us alone.  Even more important, is to have the humility to acknowledge the role of others in ALL our successes, all along the way.

Our family members, our friends, strangers on the street, and even our perceived enemies, will say and do things at just the right moment which will teach us, push us, pull us, remind us, and help us with everything we need, at just the right moment.  Having seen this happen in my own life, many times, has cemented the belief in my mind that, The Universe was designed from the beginning to conspire on our behalf, every moment, of every day.

There is purpose in all things.  It will be easy to see that this is true years from now, but for now, we can just know that everything is working for us, not against us, even if it seems that way.  Good will come from everything that happens to us, until we realize that things have been happening for us, all along.

When I asked my guide what the most important message was today about humility that I could share with the world was, it told me:

“True humility is not about shrinking yourself, but about recognizing the sacredness in all beings—including yourself—and acting from that awareness.”

This message reminds us that humility isn’t weakness or self-deprecation. It’s the strength to be open, teachable, and compassionate, without needing to prove our worth. It honors interconnectedness and encourages listening deeply, speaking truthfully, and serving with grace.

Today’s challenge for myself:  I will remember to be humble and grateful for all things and all of the people in my life, and remember it is all unfolding for my greater good.

We all hear the stories about kids that inherit a certain type of lifestyle just by being the children of those with money.  They have the cars, the clothes, the toys, the confidence, the habits, the teachings and programming, and the opportunities that most of the rest of us will never experience or have.  Then there are those who grow up in a home with only one parent or no parents, or who grow up being abused or bullied,  who go through huge difficulties and challenges most people wouldn’t survive, only to come out on the other side extremely happy, fulfilled, strong, healthy, successful, and financially wealthy.

I think we all love the stories of those who are, “self-made”.

Some of the characteristics of these people are:

• They work extremely hard on personal growth and development.
• Relentlessness.
• Emotional intelligence.
• They are too proud to ask for handouts or help.
• They help others and want them to succeed.
• They work for, and earn, everything they get.
• They have excellent habits.
• They make goals.
• They have a morning routine.
• They learn to love themselves.
• They strive to constantly self-improve.

While creating the life they want, they become more responsible, confident, talented, self-reliant, structured, successful, fulfilled, hard-working, skilled, and strong.  They realize that everything is a choice and that each choice has a positive or negative consequence.  They pay attention to the information and feedback that comes through each life experience and they constantly adapt.  They amass strength, confidence, and a sense of fulfillment from the fact that they could have chosen to accept help, taken a hand-out, blamed others for their short-comings and failures, or chosen to be rescued and taken care of in a time of need.  They know they could have chosen to remain a victim and lived a life of excuses.  Instead, they chose to be, “self-made.”

Reminder to self:  Entitlement is a TRAP!  Nobody owes you anything.  If you want something, don’t ask for it.  Work hard, be determined, and go out and get it!

I once heard that Warren Buffett, the multi-billionaire, and one of the financially wealthiest people the world has ever known, has pledged to donate 99% of all of his money to many different causes, and chose not to give it to his children.  He did this because he is kind, good, loving, and incredibly wise.  He knows the value of being self-made, resilient, and self-reliant.  He knows the truth and wisdom in the fact that:  if you didn’t work for it you didn’t earn it, and if you didn’t work for it or earn it, you definitely don’t deserve it-AND YOU WON’T KNOW HOW TO KEEP IT.

In all honesty, I don’t believe that any of us are 100%, “Self-made.”  We are the sum total of the books we read, the content we allow into our minds and choose to focus on, and the people we spend the most time with.  We are, at first, a conglomeration of the teachings and programming of well-meaning but broken, young, or inexperienced parents, who are simply doing their very best-and that’s if we are LUCKY.

Many times, we must be honest with ourselves, and give credit where credit is due:  Our parents, teachers, mentors, and friends.  Without such people in my life, I realize my life just wouldn’t be as amazing as it is.  I’m incredibly grateful for those who have contributed at such a high level in my life and who have taught me so much, all along the way.

We are ALL so blessed to have the knowledge, wisdom, and experiences of others to learn from and draw upon, especially in times of need.  Through books alone, we can compress DECADES of knowledge, wisdom, experience, and intelligence into hours or days.  I believe it is useful to learn to be capable and strong enough stand alone, when it is needed, and make the very best of ourselves that we can, all along the way.  To be “self-made” is to be awake and aware enough to accept full responsibility for what is replaying in our minds that automatically projects our reality, and to know that is our choice.  To be “self-made” is to ALWAYS do our very best at doing what WE define as our very best.

WHEN WE CONSISTENTLY DO OUR BEST, OUR BEST CONSISTENTLY GETS BETTER.

Today’s challenge for myself:  Today I will work for what I want, I will earn what I want, and I will deserve what I want, thereby building credibility, skills, and self-confidence to get and KEEP what I want.  I will also remember to be grateful for all those along the way who have encouraged and empowered me.

Remember:  Mindset matters.  Character counts.  That which we choose to consistently focus on is what EXPANDS in our lives.  WE CREATE our personal realities.

Throughout our day, we may encounter negativity in many different ways.  In the home, at work, interactions with strangers, and mostly, in our own minds.

My mom used to tell me, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”.  Great advice from a great woman.  It taught me what to focus on, and just as importantly, what not to focus on.  Positivity creates.  Negativity destroys.

Every thought, word, and action are energetic, vibrational, and actual creations.  What we focus on repeatedly emits and transmits from us a vibrational, gravitational, magnetic energy, which goes out into the Field, amplifies, and then returns to us.  This is why anger begets anger, while LOVE manifests and creates more love.

I’ve come across an incredibly helpful, very small and powerful, booklet on positivity, called, POCKET MOTIVATION 101, by Nelson Thomas.  Talk about a great gift to give!

If something is negative,

• IT DOESN’T MATTER
• IT DOESN’T DESERVE OUR FOCUS
• IT DOESN’T DESERVE OUR ATTENTION
• IT DOESN’T DESERVE OUR RESPONSE

• 

Reminder to self:  Create instead of destroying.  Focus ONLY on that which you DO want to appear in your life more, because what we focus on tends to grow and we attract more of it into our minds and into our lives.

Today’s challenge for myself:  Today I will focus on thinking, speaking, and doing positive things.  I will work hard to give my focus and attention to ONLY positive things.  I will be aware of the negative throughout my day and will chose not to give it focus or attention or respond to it.  I will remember:

WHEN WE CHANGE THE WAY WE LOOK AT THINGS, THE THINGS WE LOOK AT CHANGE.  It is the way I choose to see things that determines the beauty of my personal reality.

Being present in the forever, eternal moment of now will increase the enjoyment and fulfillment in our lives.  Being present in the here and now will help us to create a much more beautiful life.

Have you ever been somewhere with the people you love, like at the beach, or on a vacation that you planned and saved up for, only to think about work, problems you or someone else is having, or anything else, at all, that causes you stress and anxiety?  I know I have, almost like it was a habit to be distracted from the present moment.  Wouldn’t it be much more enjoyable to focus on the present moment and enjoy it to the fullest, and make some memories with our loved ones?

Reminder to self:  When at work, focus on work.  When at play, focus on playing.  When working on self-improvement, focus on that.  When speaking to someone you care about, focus on really listening and being present.  Live each moment to the fullest, and focus on that moment, and on that moment, only.  When thoughts stray, re-focus, and work hard towards being and remaining present.  The more this is practiced, the easier it will become.  Our lives and relationships will improve.  People will appreciate us more and value their time with us more.

When it comes to being present, Eckhart Tolle is one teacher to learn from.  His book, THE POWER OF NOW, is amazing, and well-worth reading or listening to.  For a free audio version of this book, enter its name into the YouTube search engine.

Ram Dass is another wonderful teacher of BEING HERE NOW.  For access to over 15,000 hours of his useful content, enter BE HERE NOW RAM DASS into the YouTube search engine.

Today I will focus on being present during each moment and activity of my day.  When I need to refocus, I will use the mantra:  BE HERE NOW.

Interview Questions:

*Sometime in the future, I am hoping to conduct live interviews, on camera, with these answers and questions, as time allows.

They say:

“A stupid man never learns.  A smart man learns from his mistakes.  A wise man learns from the mistakes of others.”

Admittedly, I spent most of my life being stupid.  In my forties (Yes, I’m a late bloomer), I started getting smart.  Finally.  In my late-forties, I have been working on becoming wise.

(*This is an interview I would love to conduct with you every 10 years to see what differences there are in your answers, and what you have learned in the previous 10 years since the last interview which has helped.)

The purpose of this interview is to learn about what has made you wise.  I want to learn from your mistakes, experiences, struggles, and failures, and I want to learn how you overcame your obstacles to become a contributing, successful, stable, happy member of this human experience.  I believe that exposure to these things will help not only myself, but so many others in the world who have the hunger to learn how to not only be wise, but continually progress, improve, and grow.  

This is your chance to share your story the way you want it to be told.  The questions may seem like a lot to ask of you, even overwhelming.  Take them one at a time.  There is no deadline for this small, beneficial project.  It isn’t expected for anyone to sit down and complete all questions in one sitting.  Answer one a day, or one a week.  Take as much time to answer each question as thoughtfully and thoroughly as possible.  The end result of each answer is to help, motivate, inspire, and remind.

The Interview:

• Can I get an outline of your life? (A brief history/timeline of your family of origin, where and how you grew up, what your mother and father and siblings were like.)
• What is your current age? What year were you born and where have you lived?
• What were the most important things you learned during your childhood and earlier years that helped you later in life?  What principles and beliefs were you raised with?
• What were some challenges or disabilities you experienced and what did you gain or benefit from living with and through these?
• What were your biggest failures/mistakes in life, and what did you learn from them?
• Where is your favorite place you have ever been and why?
• What is your educational background?
• What jobs/employment have you had? Which was the most fulfilling and why?
• When you feel frustrated, angry, or out of control, what do you do to quickly and effectively return to your baseline emotion? (How do you, “Self-soothe”?)
• What is a long-lasting, sustainable contribution you would like to make that lasts long after you are gone, and who do you want it to affect?
• What are the principles and core beliefs you base your decisions and your life upon now?  Are there any principles or core beliefs that you altered/improved over the years, as you grew, progressed, and improved in your life?  (Old beliefs that didn’t serve you/were harmful vs. New beliefs which benefitted you and those around you a great deal.)
• What are your favorite 3 quotes and why?
• Do you have a book list of your favorite, most helpful books? What are the books on your list and what were the most important points from each one?
• Who were the most important influential people in your life so far? Who do you consider your mentors?  (This can be someone you know personally in your life or someone you have never met.)
• Who or what has been the biggest, most helpful contributors to your life?
• Is there anything I have not asked you that you would like to share that you believe could benefit others?
• What do you believe is the purpose of your life?
• What is your main wish/desire for the loved ones in your life?  What would you say to each of them if this was your last opportunity to communicate with them?
• Are there any questions in this interview you would re-word or are there any questions you would add to this interview to make it more helpful and affective?
• Is there anyone you can send this interview to that you know would add value to your life or the lives of others with their answers? Will you share this interview with them?
• Do I have your permission to share/publish your interview?

I can’t wait for your response!  I am truly excited for the opportunity to learn from you.

Thank you so much for your contribution.  As Simon Sinek says, “Together is better.”  We, as humans, are all connected.  We all struggle and fail.  We all succeed.  We all have the capability to think, say, or do something helpful.

I want to hear your story.  I can’t wait to hear your story.  Sharing our stories helps us learn and realize so much about ourselves and helps others along the way.

“A stupid man never learns.  A smart man learns from his mistakes.  A wise man learns from the mistakes of others.”

Together, may we all continue to struggle and fail our way to wisdom and success.

Mindset Matters.

Character Counts.

Please feel free to copy, share, and use any of this material.  Any contribution you can make, any question you can answer, has the creative potential to help others.  

There are many different kinds of survival.

We all know someone who is content with living off of the spoils and hard work of others.  They don’t want to work, so they rely on hand outs, gifts, and caretakers who will do everything for them.  They are not interested in changing a thing.  They are not interested in progression, personal growth, or personal development.  They use others to get their bare minimum needs met.  These are the people who believe that something for nothing is not only an option, but a way of life, and they think the world owes them, because of trials or difficulties they have had to endure.  After all, they didn’t ask to be brought into this world.  They are takers that never give.  People caught up in this lifestyle are content being victims.

There are others who, “Straight-Up Survive” until they THRIVE.  They go out and work for whatever they need and want.  They are not only interested in progression, personal development, and creating a more beautiful, uplifting, fulfilling, passionate, and wonderful life for themselves and for the people they choose to surround themselves with, but they are also committed to it.  They, “Straight-Up Survive,” until they begin to thrive.  These are the ones who are considered an over-night success, that have actually been in the making, behind the scenes, their entire lives.  They learned from the examples of others, watching, reading, paying attention, and through trial and error, to become better humans and more valuable for others.  They are usually too proud to accept gifts or help, and choose, instead, to work hard for everything they have.  They realize that the reward of their hard work and the confidence earned is going to be more valuable and useful to them than any gift they are given, because of what they BECOME in the process.  It will bring confidence, a sense of fulfillment, and a feeling of success, to do the work and earn the prize, rather than being saved, enabled, or taken care of.

Admittedly, I have practiced both of these lifestyles of survival.  I learned many things through trial and error.  I have failed miserably, for years, at many things, and made many mistakes in my life.  I have been caught up in being a victim for YEARS.  Some of the biggest mistakes of my life (and also some of the greatest, most valuable experiences,) came from living a lifestyle of, “Shady survival.”  I was saved and rescued many times by loving, supportive, well-meaning family members, and many other incredible people in my life.  I am eternally grateful to them.  I learned much from them and from the experiences.

It has been said,

“A stupid man never learns.  A smart man learns from his mistakes.  A wise man learns from the mistakes of others.”  A wise man won’t only learn from the mistakes of others, but also from the successes of others.

For much of my life I was stupid.  I just didn’t learn.  In 2014, after a visit to a mental institution (See My Story), I started to get smarter.  As of late, I have been aspiring to become wise.  The more I learn, the more I realize I have SO much more to learn.  It’s exciting.

I finally woke up.  It was due to the suffering that I was experiencing.  Eventually I realized the suffering was a blessing in disguise, and something I was constantly recreating, attracting, and projecting for myself through habituated, repetitious thought patterns.  In order to learn to practice transcending suffering, we must first experience it.  Being stupid, I never learned from the suffering; I only tried to escape the suffering, distract myself with addictive practices that became habits, and run away from it.  When I chose to feel it and experience it, I began to realize its value.  It was empowering to face it, learn to navigate through it, and eventually conquer it by using it as feedback, after running from it and allowing it to conquer me for so long.  Addictions quickly fell away, and an entirely new life of unlimited possibilities was before me.  After the age of 40, I finally began to learn how to really live and be in more useful ways.

The truth is, it’s nobody else’s job to save us.  That is for us to do.

Today I will think about how I can improve my own survival skills and become more capable and self-reliant.  I will be grateful for my lessons and the help I have received, and decide to help myself, rather than allowing others to figure everything out for me.

What better way to start the day than with a perspective check that helps shift our focus towards something we believe is beneficial and will add to our own personal growth and improvement? Reminders like this have value, especially when reviewed at the start of a day as part of a consistent, daily, morning routine.
Each of these messages are meant to remind us of what we already believe to be important and beneficial in our daily lives, and to aid in the re-focusing process many of us don’t even realize we so desperately need. It has become increasingly more difficult to focus on what truly matters with all the many distractions which are now so prevalent in our lives.
This website was created to remind myself in some small way, each and every day, that Mindset matters, that Character counts, and that FOCUS IS EVERYTHING.
That which we focus upon tends to manifest itself in our lives, more and more. The more intense our focus, the quicker the thing we focus upon manifests.

It is my deepest desire that this website will benefit you as much as it has benefited me.

Computer programmers write code and input information in order to create a program that will be helpful or entertaining in some way.  The more helpful or entertaining the program is, the more it is worth.  Once the program is written onto a cd and sold, it cannot be changed.  It runs the same, repetitive, automatic way.

This is also how the human mind works.  It has been researched and proven that most people are running automatically on a program that was written during the first 6 to 7 years of life.  These first years are the ONLY years our young minds are constantly in THETA mode, where we are literally downloading EVERYTHING.  We are WIDE  OPEN.  The personal philosophies, beliefs, and mindset we now have, is an older, automatic program that we inherited.  We live the same life and make the same decisions, resulting in the same or similar outcomes and responses as those who programmed us.  Change is usually quite difficult, as we run 95% of our lives based on our subconscious programming.

I found out it is possible to upgrade and rewrite the program!  This method of upgrading the program is called change, which can only come about by an upgrade in the subconscious programming through repetition of new personal philosophies, beliefs, mindset, perspectives, practices, and habits.  A simple, consistent, repetitive shift in perspective can, and will, change it all.  Another way we can reprogram the mind is through hypnosis.

Juan Carlos was a guest on The goodinthehead Podcast and uses hypnotherapy to empower his clients with upgraded beliefs, resulting limitless life recreation possibilities.

Our mind is the one thing each of us has the opportunity to program and RE-program.  WE are the programmers. WE are the creators of our lives.  WE input the information into our subconscious mind through repetition, then live the life with our bodies that correlates with the programming that was input.

Just like with a valuable, useful computer program, the quality of our own personal programming directly correlates with the personal value, success, and happiness in our lives.  Our own, chosen, decided, repetitious programming we input into our brains every day will determine how helpful, entertaining, or valuable we become.  It is up to us to learn how to become good programmers.  

The better we know, and the better we believe, and the better we DO.

Today I will pay attention to what I program my mind with, and anticipate the results of my programming.  If I need to change, upgrade, or optimize, I will.

Bruce Lipton explains multiple ways that we can use to reprogram the subconscious mind.  His teachings and his work are definitely worth researching, learning, and implementing.

If we don’t know exactly what we want, it is highly likely we will go through life with no purpose.  If we fail to plan, we plan to fail.  Having a vision board empowers us to think of what we want, and make a plan to get to work accomplishing it.

Suggestion to self:  Find 20 of your favorite pictures off the internet, Pinterest, magazines, or wherever else you want to look.  Find the places you want to go, the car you want to drive, the job you want to have, the spouse you would like, and anything else you want to aspire to someday attain.  Put these pictures on a board or in a folder on a phone, and look at them as often as you can, in order to remind yourself of the life you want and deserve to have.

Create a vision of yourself and your life that makes you FEEL GOOD when you see it again and again, and that will pull and invite you to expand into it.

Make it a game!  It ought to be fun!  Go as big as you want to.  These are your dreams.  Once you know what your dreams and wishes are, you can start to do things that will get you closer to them.  You can choose to do activities which will align your life path with your desires.  CLARITY IS KEY.

It is easy to get to the place in your life where you eventually obtain these things, and this is how it can be easy:

Ask yourself these questions:

• How can I make these dreams a reality for myself?
• What EXACTLY do I need to make it happen?
• How can I get these things to become a reality in my life in the shortest amount of time possible?
• What can I do CONSISTENTLY, every single day that will align my life path with my desires?

Break the big goals, dreams, and desires, down into little, bite-size pieces.  Break the big goals down into small, easy, daily actions.  Have faith, work hard, be consistent, succeed, repeat.  If you are serious about it, you can do anything you set your mind to.  There are no limits to what we can accomplish as humans, except for the limits we place upon ourselves through limiting beliefs.

We can envision the desired end result of ANYTHING we want, and then reverse-engineer it down to daily, actionable items.

In 2014, I started over with absolutely nothing.  I had nothing to lose.  I wrote down a list of everything I wanted.  Examples included working for Boeing, buying a home, getting out of debt, buying a car, getting healthy again, and a few other items.  I read this list every morning, and a few weeks later, I put the paper in a notebook, which later ended up in a computer desk drawer, forgotten about.  In 2017, while my wife and I were moving from a rental to a home we had just purchased, my wife found this list.  She asked me if it was my gratitude list for the day.  I had completely forgotten about it.  Every single thing on the list was either already acquired, or in the works, and amazingly close to being completed.  It was incredible!  Subconsciously, my mind had been working on what I wanted.  I literally became the man I needed to, in order to acquire and attain exactly what I wanted.  I now am constructing another list, and I am dreaming much larger than ever before.

The RAS, or Reticular Activating System, will always go to work without us even knowing it, and once we have properly programmed it we can use the RAS as a TOOL OF CREATION!.  Check out the short, 8-minute video about the RAS on YouTube, created for us by Mark Dawes.

I highly recommend typing, “Earl Shoaff – Mentor to Jim Rohn – How to become a Millionaire,” into YouTube’s search engine, and listening to this incredible content.  It is something I listen to often, wanting the ideas and wisdom to really sink in deeply, and become a part of my daily thought patterns.

Today I will create a vision of what I want my life to be in 3 years.  I will then decide what I need to do to make it happen.  I will remember that if I can break it all down into daily, consistent, habitual things I can easily accomplish that I will be able to make it happen.
