Excited to get back to training and into my routine of hyper efficiency and productivity! LET'S GO! Make the most out of your day! Keep learning, working, stay patient and ENJOY!
These past few days I was at the 2nd ever Dunk Camp in Utah and it reminded me just how amazing life can be. I got to feel so much energy with so many people who are passionate about pushing themselves to achieve their goals. I got to meet the one and only TDub which absolutely blew my mind! Feels good to be getting back into my routine, but I also can't wait to see where life takes me next. Keep working, keep building bits and pieces and keep increasing the frequency and intensity of life's exp...
"Death is the only thing we can know with any certainty. And as such, it must be the compass by which we orient all of our other values and decisions."Finished "The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck" by Mark Manson and it was fantastic. I recap the last couple chapters and give my review. I really enjoyed this book and hope you enjoy your day!! Keep pushing yourself and make the most out of what truly mattes to you!
Everything you believe in, everything you value could be wrong. It could be the root of what's truly holding you back. Even if you're not wrong, the act of questioning yourself is an incredible tool. The ability to ask yourself, "What if I'm wrong?" "What would it mean if I'm wrong" is an extremely difficult skill to develop but that uncertainty opens opportunities for major growth.
Keep working, remembering every baby step is towards greatness! It's hard to see it now, it's hard to feel it now but when that day comes where all these little pieces of the puzzle come together it feels amazing! To me, it's one of the best feelings in life to make progress. It's probably part of my primal DNA but feeling the actual progress fills me with so much energy!! The trick is not giving up!! Keep your awareness on why you're doing every little thing and if it aligns with your core valu...
You are always choosing. Another chapter from "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck" that inspired me to make the most out of every situation. Even something horrible that's not your fault, you now can take responsibility for every choice moving forward. Fault is past tense, while responsibility is present tense. Take notice about the times you blame others or seek revenge. Raise your awareness by understanding those are choices and take responsibility for them. Ultimately, making different, new ...
Self Awareness is like an onion with layers you have to peel back. The more you peel back the deeper you go and the more you cry as described by Mark Manson in his book "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck". First, you need to understand what emotions you are feeling and get in touch with them. Once you understand WHAT you're feeling you can ask yourself WHY you're feeling that way. The deeper layer is now understanding if that WHY is even worth it. Is your WHY aligned with your core values? The...
“The rare people who do become truly exceptional at something do so not because they believe they’re exceptional. On the contrary, they become amazing because they’re obsessed with improvement. And that obsession with improvement stems from an unerring belief that they are, in fact, not that great at all. It’s anti-entitlement. People who become great at something become great because they understand that they’re not already great -they are mediocre, they are average -and that they could be so m...
From Tim Ferris' Book 'Tools of Titans' Naval's Laws: - Be present above all else - Desire is suffering (Buddha) - Anger is a hot coal that you hold in your hand while waiting to throw it at someone else (buddhist saying) - If you can't see yourself working with someone for life, don't work with them for a day. - Reading (learning) is the ultimate meta-skill and can be traded for anything else. - All the real benefits in life come from compound interest - Earn with your mind, not your time. - 99...

Everything I do, all the progress I strive to make is to simply ENJOY MORE! As I get better at things I enjoy they only get more enjoyable! Find what you enjoy and slowly try to fill your life with more of these experiences. If you're not enjoying, why are you doing it?
Stop giving a FUCK! "not giving a fuck" is not about being indifferent, it's about being ok with being different. It's not about totally not caring about anything, it's about choosing wisely what you care about. Don't use your fucks for unnecessary reasons. It goes directly with being your full self. Chase your dreams, the career you want, the life you want to live, the experiences you want to have, they should all align with what YOU want and no one else. Fuck all the pushback, the negativity, ...
Yes you want to achieve something great but are you willing to go through what it takes to get there? Started reading "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" and he explains how we should pick our goals by their struggles. Which struggle would we enjoy most? Is it worth it? I believe you're going to have to enjoy the process if you're going to achieve your biggest goals. If you don't start to enjoy the pain of the process, you're probably attacking the wrong goal.
Michelangelo said he saw the masterpiece David in the giant block of marble and all he had to do was chip away everything that was NOT David. Being your full self is that masterpiece. It's not about becoming your full self, you already are. You just have to remove everything that's holding you back. Keep chipping away!
Set yourself FREE! Why let simple insecurities hold you back when all you have to do is OWN IT! Gary Vaynerchuk said "Own it... and you own it" and I think thats a great way to sum it up. As soon as you acknowledge your insecurities and even share them you're free from them hurting you negatively. That's how I feel these days. I feel so free to be myself and I'm enjoying my life exponentially more! It's hard to admit, It's hard to deal with but what's the worst that happens? You feel a little em...
Hope you have a great day floating around the universe! Enjoy yourself, enjoy being yourself that's how you make yourself most valuable. There's no need to take all your skills and experiences to do one thing when you can keep making yourself more unique. I'm choosing to keep getting better little by little at everything I enjoy. I have no idea where they will lead me but why not have more fun and possibilities!
What are your dreams? Think even bigger! That's how I want to live, I don't want to settle for anything less than my dream life. I know it's not for everyone but that's just how I'm wired. I want to go all in in all aspects of my life. I also want my career to be something I love every second of. I want to impact as many people as I can because that's what makes me feel alive. Have a great "Think Big Thursday" and keep dreaming!
What's going on today?! What's going on every day? This unbelievable, beautiful world is still spinning so make the most out of it. Question what's going on, why things are happenings.

My goal is to eliminate days so I can live my best life every day. I want that No Days Life!
How is your life filling your brain? We know most of our actions are a result of our subconscious so we should be aware of everything it interacts with. Is the majority of what you fill your brain with helping you evolve? Or is it causing you to move away from your goals? Take the challenge of sharing your life goals with the people you spend the most time with. Ask them what theirs are and take note of how this conversation makes you feel. What emotions bubble up? Do you get a feeling in your g...
Monday Let's get it! Would you take a 10 flight just to land back where you started? That;'s how I see going through life without knowing the big picture. What are you working towards? Knowing where you're headed makes the journey much more enjoyable and easier to navigate. Having constant awareness of my "why" fills me with energy to make progress. I stay on my path no matter what gets in my way because that destination is too appealing. What's your destination? Start working towards what it ta...
Frustrated simply because I have to be more patient. I set high goals for myself and when I find myself trying to achieve things by skipping over a few steps I lose sight. I want to jump higher! I want to make progress! A LOT OF PROGRESS NOW! But I need to remember that any progress IS progress. Take a step back from the situation and understand what step you're trying to go next and make sure it's the very next step on your path. Stay patient, stay focused, make progress.
Two pillars in my life are Energy and Progress! I want to max out my energy so I can make the most progress. It's what makes me the happiest and I have so many interests I just wan to do them all. I want to make the most out of my life and defining that happiness brings clarity to my day to day.
The weekend gives me 2 days back to back to use my energy when and where I want. That's a huge goal for me as I learn how I work best.

Start with tiny baby steps and build momentum that will tur...
Your life is created by the choices you make. Which branch do you want to put yourself on? Self Knowledge is the hardest part but essential for making choices that align with your intent. Your actions strive to help you reach the intended qualitative experience, but it not play out in the way you thought. Take note of the circumstances you're in as result of your choices. Let that be insight into who you are as a person, so you can make better decisions in the future.
"The trick to aligning with flow and synchronicity is to be able to identify the objective meaning of our actions and then make adjustments to align them with our conscious intent" Ch. 2 Expect Synchronicity and Feel Flow from "Living in Flow" by Sky Nelson-Isaacs talks about how to feel subjectively and objectively. Subjective comes from ideas and opinions about experiences while objective is made up of experiences themselves.
Your subconscious wants you to stay safe by avoiding the unknown. You have to get out of your comfort zone to GROW! Think of it as that game where the fish keeps growing the more fish it eats but it can only eat fish its own size or smaller. As it grows it has more, bigger fish it can eat. The more experiences that you have, the more unknowns you bring into the known. Those known experiences don't bring anxiety anymore and your scope has grown. Now you're available to bigger and better experienc...
My good friend Mike was in town so he jumped on the morning podcast with me and asked great questions! How has my awareness has changed from reading more books? How has it affected my mindset during dunk sessions? We also talked about how I got into Life Coaching and my priorities day to day. My sleep and nutrition are the foundation to my overall physical and mental energy which is most important to me to maximize my life. Lastly, being vulnerable and having more conversations and being present...
The cosmos is responding to the actions you take. Whether these actions and choices are aligned with your core values or not... it's responding. The cosmos only know how to respond by your actions. So, be clear with your purpose, define your core values, so you can act in a way that tells the cosmos exactly which way to respond. Also, taking BOLD action shifts the probabilities in your favor of the outcome you want. It brings authentic emotion into our actions. Be clear and take action!
Don't wait any longer! The very moment you put off starting something is the moment the momentum starts building against you. STARTING is the hardest part. If you want to start a new habit and you feel that little pushback, think about how much stronger that push back will be once momentum has built up against it. You want to start tracking a new habit? You say to yourself, "I'll start this weekend when I'm fresh and can create a nice chart and have more free time." Seems innocent enough. Just a...
Thinking limitless.. can't hurt! What if you just somehow achieved an insane goal. A goal that would just be unbelievable, hard to imagine. Don't worry about how or when just think about yourself actually achieving it, how amazing that would, how great life would be, how grateful you'd be to have made it to that point! That gratitude can change your outlook and current state of being so you're more open to as you go about your day. On a more spiritual side you may tune into that higher frequency...
