The success principles

asking yourself:
how am i creating or allowing this to happen?
1. what am i doing that's working that i need to be doing more of?
2. what am i doing that's not working?
- what do i need to be doing less of?
3. what am i doing that i need to try on to see if it works?

but the formula is simple- do more of what  is working, do less of what isn't, and try on new behaviors to see if they produce better results 

i believe each of us is born with a life purpose. identifying, acknowledging, and honoring this purpose is perhaps the most important action successful people take. they take the time to understand what they're here to do - and they pursue that with passion and enthusiasm

your inner guidance is your joy

the things that bring you the greatest joy are in alignment with your purposes. to begin to home in on your purpose, make a list of the times you felt most joyful and alive. what are the common elements of these experiences? can you figure out a way to make a living doing these things?

figure out what you love to do as young as you can, and then organize your life around figuring out how to make a living at it

1. list 2 unique personal qualities
- establish report through trust easily
- creativity and drive to make it perfect

2. list 1 or 2 ways you enjoy expressing those qualities when interacting with others
- giving unorthodox or inspiring solutions
- making them smile and laugh

3. assume the world is perfect right now. what does it look like? how is everyone interacting? what does it feel like?

so clean. people all smiling and having the utmost common courtesy for others. like the southern hospitality mixed with singapore modern tropical feel and japan perfection...but also a carefree surfer bali coolness with the happiness and tranquility and calm of mihwangsa temple stay. people acting driven and self motivated to do their best. so focused on self improvement and so successful at living out their passion than all things are art including farming, teaching, cooking, construction, even administration and politcal work. all with self driven ambition...and so alive that they glow with excitement and love. the love rubs off on everyone through their smiles. individual selves not concerned with needing from others but in true control and awareness of their minds to create anything they desire. feels amazing to know that the world is generous, safe, filled with helpful, happy people, and that i am free to live life the way i please without any outside criticism or pressures from society or family and friends. it feels like utopia. free but no boredom...instead, it is full passion and care and gratitude

my purpose is to use my curiosity and creativity to create smiles and drive that will inspires others to live with passion and compassion

what does success look like to you? what do you want to accomplish? what do you want to experience? and what possessions do you want to acquire?

my experience is that one of the few differences between the superachievers and the rest if the world is that the superachievers simply dream bigger

create your future from your future,  not your past.

scientists used to believe that humans responded to information flowing into the brain from the outside world. but today,  they're learning instead that we respond to what the brain, on the basis of previous experience, expects to happen next.

whatever your dream is, look at yourself in the mirror and declare that you are indeed going to achieve it - no matter what price
