motivation

pickupFor gross generalizations purposes I think people fall into 3 different categories and I am going to rant about it.

Different types:

1.  Anything is possible and I am going to keep pursuing what ever I want until I get it.  If it doesn’t work and I get knocked down, face rejection, I stand up brush off my shoulders and carry on. Over and over again, no matter what!!

2.  Then there are the people who have big dreams and goals but when they face rejection or difficulty, they crumble and shrink back.  They are always waiting for the perfect time and plan to take action again so they don’t have to suffer failure.  Not taking that class or following through on the work that it really takes to succeed.  Instead they complain that they don’t get it but never want to put the time and work in to achieve their goals.

3.  Then there is the type of person who thinks that nothing can work and basically the world is out to get them.  The ones that think life sucks and there is not point because “bad shit happens to good people.” The ones that don’t bother to try but complain about their shitty life all the time.

Honestly I am fed up and I am talking the gloves off.   I am not going to sugar coat my opinions and placate to anyone so if you don’t like my twisted version of reality don’t read my stuff.

For me success and achieving your goals all comes down to having a positive out look and being willing to try over and over again in the face of rejection.

Fuck rejection, IT DOES NOT MATTER.

Fuck failure, IF SOMETHING DOESN’T WORK TRY SOMETHING ELSE.

Fuck the fact that it takes a lot of work, DO OR DON’T BUT STOP WASTING YOUR AND MY TIME IF YOU DON’T WANT TO DO WHAT IT TAKES.

How do you expect to get anywhere in life if you don’t try and fail and try again.   Try again a thousand times or a million times.  What ever it takes,  that is my mentality.

Winston Churchill failed sixth grade. He was subsequently defeated in every election for public office until he became Prime Minister at the age of 62. He later wrote, “Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never – in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never, Never, Never, Never give up.” (his capitals, mind you)

motivation

I’ve been working on inner confidence extensively lately and its brought up some major issues.  Mostly around internal mentalities on how I think society conditions us to think about  success. Always affirming that one day we will be successful rock stars with out any work.

I’ve found in business and especially in self-improvement most people want others to take responsibility for their situation or their own personal self-improvement.  Even I see myself doing it.  Especially in the past putting my own in-action and blame on other people.  Be it for motivation or having other people prod me to take action.  I think especially in the community everyone is looking for a quick fix or some one to solve their problems.

People want some one else to hold them accountable, force them to go out, force them to talk to strangers, or get them going on a new project.

Coach them through every step of the way. I see this over and over again.  Only now do I see that I do it to an extent to.  The first step to solving this I think is to realize its going on and to take full responsibility for yourself.

Sure its nice to have a wing man to force you into sets.

Sure its nice to have a buddy calling you up and dragging you out.

Sure its nice to have a specified path to follow to get where you want.

BUT

When it comes down to is actually doing it and doing it for yourself.  You can be shown the way but it comes down to taking your own steps.  BY YOUR SELF. Your guru can show you the door and point you in the right direction but what it comes down to is ONLY you can do it.   This is your life!  Your wing man won’t always be their for you.  This paragraph won’t always be in front of you to motivate you.

That is why I think its extremely important to start [Click to Continue Reading…]

Infinity – Life Doesn’t Care About Your Vision

by Legend Goals

And that’s a great thing. This is going to seem like a contradictory post from my first one last week but it’s more of a compliment. To prove such I’ll start by using another Tyler Durden quote. “I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say let’s evolve, let the chips fall [...]

Legend – Motivation Cycles

by Legend Technique

Everyone has certain things that motivate them.  We all know that motivation comes in cycles or waves.  Sometimes you feel like doing a lot and other times you don’t really feel doing anything. We get in moods, grooves, and sometimes ruts. Just recently I have been taking a hard look at what I do mentally [...]

Legend – Implementing Lasting Change

by Legend Technique

A long time ago I brought out my rules for having a good night every night. I spent weeks whittling them down into a fool proof plan of action that would allow me to be “on” every time I followed them. Needless to say, it was a long list and I wasn’t very good at [...]
