THE SECRET

The secret. 

The real secret to body transformation. 

Not some marketing bullshit, but the truth.

The truth is that you CANNOT improve your body without improving everything else. 

Only those who have achieved what you want to achieve know this secret. 

Only the ones who have been there and done that know the truth. 

Here's what I mean. 

There are millions of people trying to lose weight and get in shape. 

And MOST of them fail. 

MOST. 

And the reason is because they refuse to improve on every level. 

This isn't just about buying a nutrition program and a workout program. 

it is about follow through. 

The process is uncomfortable. 

The process is painful.

And you must ask yourself. 

Do you have what it takes to endure the pain?

To make a commitment and follow through?

To re-commit when things get hard?

To sacrifice what needs to be sacrificed. 

To be patient. 

To be disciplined. 

There are skills, virtues, that will carry you forward to new levels in life. 

And along this journey, you will be FORCED to develop and strengthen them or you will fail. 

It is as simple as that. 

When you make a commitment to yourself to finally lose the weight. 

You are making a commitment to loose the bullshit excuses holding you back. 

To lose the self limiting beliefs, the stories you tell yourself, and the lies you tell yourself. 

You are making a commitment to take full responsibility for your body and the results you are getting. 

And if you can't fully commit to improving on every level, you aren't fully committed. 

If that's you, keep listening to Dr oz, keep buying your antioxidants, and keep being fat. 

But as soon as you are ready to do what it takes, don't hesitate. 

Hire a trainer, a coach, or a nutritionist who can help you. 

But beware of someone selling you the paradise and not the pain. 

Because the paradise is achieved by going directly through the pain. 

There is no way around it.

Support Systems

Do you have anyone in your life who will call you on your bullshit excuses and get you back on track?

Might be time to level up your social circle.

Time to start building a support system around you full of people who;

Love you for who you are and who you are working to be

Support you in the life you are creating

Push you to be more in all areas

Call you on your shit

Challenge your assumptions

Ignite your passions

This is called a support system.

I always considered myself a lone wolf.

I thought I had to do it all alone.

I thought asking for help made me weak.

In reality I was blind to all the people I was already leaning on for support.

I allowed my ego to blind me to all the amazing people who have so much of their time, energy, and money.

Now my eyes are open.

Now I can see the power of association.

Now I am consciously surrounding myself with people who are pushing for more out of life.

Consider;

Will you think more positively being surrounded by negative people having negative conversations?
-NO-
Will you show more gratitude being surrounded by ungrateful people complaining about life?
-NO-
Will you eat better and exercise being surrounded by healthy fit people also striving to improve?
-YES-
Will you treat other with more kindness and love being surrounded by others who love freely?
-YES-
Will your life reflect greatly the values and influence of your closest friends?
-YES-
If you were to surround yourself with people striving to DOMINATE life, would you take greater action to DOMINATE life.

How do you surround yourself with the right people?

Inspire those around you to change.

Bring into your life people who are also striving for more.

Join a group. Join an organization. Go to a class. Hire someone.

Do what it takes to get someone to speak positivity and inspiration into your life.

It will push you to become someone greater and you wont even realize it.

This will help you;

Become Truly Strong.

Love Pain

:: Daily Domination ::

How do you make choices?

-Based on what feels good now?

-Based on a long term vision?

Occasionally those 2 line up, but not often, and not without planning.

The choices required to move toward a long term vision include lots of pain and discomfort.

You must train yourself to LOVE the pain of progressing, the pain of moving forward, the pain of pushing past your old threshold.

Then the pain becomes pleasure.

And when your pain becomes your pleasure, you'll know you are flat out crazy as hell and you're going to see some serious results.

How do you make the shift?

The mind is honestly an amazing tool that creates our reality.

But it will believe what you tell it over and over again.

So number one, start telling yourself that you love exercise.

Start telling yourself, you love eating healthy.

Start telling yourself whatever you need to tell yourself to get the job done.

"I love the pain!"

Consider this;

Which person do you think will stick to the plan, continually move forward, and get results.

The one that tell himself, "I love the process of getting healthy!" - even though he doesn't.

or

The one that tells himself, "I hate the process of getting healthy!" -and he does.

Not a hard question.

What are you thinking every day?

What are you telling yourself every day?

What are you choosing to focus on?

What are you allowing yourself to feel each day?

All of these have a HUGE impact on the results of your life!

So if you want to dominate your day, this year, and your life, start brainwashing yourself to love pain.

Another Birthday...

I have hated every birthday over the last few years.

I have not wanted to celebrate my birthday the last few years. 

I have been content get wasted on my birthday the last few years. 

I have tried to drink away the shame I feel on my birthday each year. 

Why?

Because I was ashamed that I let another year go by where I was not living up to my potential.

I was embarrassed because I was not creating the life I knew I wanted. 

I was angry because I was not living up the standards I set for myself last birthday. 

I was pissed because I knew I had no one else to blame but myself. 

You see,

I remember on my birthday last year sitting with my brother at Mellow Mushroom talking about what I wanted to accomplish by my next birthday.

A process I do every birthday.

A process I recommend.

However, I recommend one goal in particular.

To become. 

My goals were not to do anything, or have anything. 

My goals were focused on BECOMING. 

I knew that in order to create the life I wanted, it would require me to BECOME someone. 

To become better.

To become STRONGER. 

To become faster. 

To become more. 

This was a new concept to me, so my mind was scattered as I wrote my goals down. 

Well, I got distracted for most of the year as the parties got bigger and better. 

Luckily something woke me up to the fact that the life I was creating wasn't what I wanted. 

Woke me up to the fact that where I was going was nowhere I wanted to be. 

Woke me up to the fact that I had so much more to offer.

Woke me up to the fact that there was a entirely new level of life I hadn't even considered. 

Now, as I approach my birthday again, I am more hopeful than ever before for one simple reason. 

I am moving and progressing daily to the life I actually want.

It started with getting clear on what it was that I wanted and what exactly I didn't want. 

Next, actually taking action toward the goals I set for myself. 

(Important side not, not trying to run a marathon Day 1, but starting slow and always moving forward)

Now, the main goal I set for myself is just to improve. 

Is just to move forward a little every day. 

Is just to learn each time I get knocked down. 

Is just to stand up every time I'm down. 

This is the foundation for a process I call Becoming Truly Strong. 

And this is my point to this post. 

I used to set all of these amazing goals for myself, and every birthday when I didn't live up to those goals, I would feel like shit. 

Now I only have one main goal that carries me through the year. 

A Ruthless and Relentless Commitment to Progression. 

To Becoming Truly Strong. 

This process does not include comparing yourself to others. 

This process does not include beating the shit out of yourself for failing. 

This process DOES include competing with no one but yourself. 

This process DEOS include taking small steps forward each day. 

No more being a victim. 

No more being entitled. 

No more blaming. 

Commit today to 

Become Truly Strong

It's easy to Blame

It's so easy to blame...

it's so hard to take responsibility.

I've got insane respect for anyone who is even trying to take responsibility for their actions. 

I've got insane respect for anyone who is even trying to move forward and progress. 

I've got insane respect for anyone who is willing to look at their life and don't see anything else but what they have created. 

I find it hard to feel sorry for anyone who bitches about their life, but is unwilling to take accountability and responsibility for creating the situation they are bitching about.

Step one is no longer allowing yourself to be blind to the fact that the circumstances of your life were created by you.

Yes, there are situations outside your control, but that does not mean you did not have a hand in creating it.

Don't take the easy road.

Stay Strong

Daily Domination

Nothing Feels Better than DOMINATION!

Complete and total domination.

Doesn't matter what it is.

A workout.

A pick up game of basketball.

An interview.

A project.

An exam.

DOMINATION FEELS GOOD AS HELL!

Makes you want to pound your chest and

"sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world" (Walt Whitman)

How do I keep this feeling?

How do I continue to dominate?

How do I dominate life every day?

It starts with your routines, your habits, your systems, your rituals.

You MUST - this is not a maybe -

You MUST implement systems into your life that support you to DOMINATE consistently.

Otherwise, you dominate inconsistently,

or you don't dominate at all.

I'm not ok with that.

And in today's world, to have it all, to reach your paradise, it's gonna take DAILY DOMINATION!

Now fast forward 10, 20, 30 years.

I want to know I gave life EVERYTHING I had.

I am done living in the un-alterable past.

I am done living in the make-believe future.

I am done drifting through life.

I am done half-assing life.

I am ready to do what it takes to DOMINATE.

-Daily workout

-Daily green smoothie

-Daily Meditation

These action bring POWER.

It takes immense power to dominate.

To implement the right Strategy, with Intensity, with Consistency.

To Grind - To Focus - To Hustle - daily

You MUST Do what it takes to Dominate every Day to build the life you want. 

Stay Strong

Earn Your Blessings

I can understand why people are mad at God.

I used to be.

One reason was a messed up understanding of blessings.

Some people think blessings are just given away.

I used to.

That you wake up every morning to see what blessings were left under the tree.

But blessings are not gifts.

They are not freebies.

They are not feely given.

Blessings are earned.

You are not entitled to blessings.

Blessings require -Hustle- -Grind- & -Focus-

Here is lesson #1 on blessings.

You obtain blessings only by commitment to the law upon which it was predicated.

Meaning you've got to apply;

Sacrifice

Patience

HARD WORK

Consistency

Focus

Intensity

etc.

Don't believe this nonsense that you deserve blessings.

Or that you are entitled to blessings.

You have the exact blessings you have earned

No more

No less

If all you do is pray for a healthy fit body, it wont ever happen.

You must get in line with the principle of HARD WORK, consistency, focus etc.

You will transform only to the extent that you are obedient to these principles.

This is true for all area of life.

Fitness

Finance

Family

Faith.

Go out and earn your blessings.


Dominate your Day
