I’m a simple guy. I like things explained in simple terms… 🙂
Albert Einstein said “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” Which is why I love this clip so much. In less than 2 minutes, Will Smith gives the ‘key to life’. A very simple, and profound explanation that we can all use.
So, how will you put this in to practice?
Today’s challenge is two-fold:
- find one way to overcome that voice that tells you it’s too hard & that you can’t do it. Silence that voice and acknowledge that you are good enough to do whatever it is that you want in this life.
- Find a mentor, or find a book, that can help you to become better at what you are currently doing.
The first 5 people to comment on how they will implement this will receive a special bonus: a free copy one of my favorite books of all time!
1. I will write an encouraging note to myself and carry it with me in my wallet. When I hear that voice, I’ll pull out the note and read it to myself to reaffirm that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to.
2. I will set aside at least 30 minutes each day to read a book on personal growth.
First- Set a goal for myself and visualize having the end result, feel good about it and see it happening clearly. When doubt comes in, I focus on my the end result and regenerate that feeling.
Second- I read the same chapter daily of a personal growth book for 30 days & have someone hold me accountable (currently “Science of Getting Rich” Chapt 14)Something good always comes of it. 🙂
1- You ever heard of the daily 1:11. It basically says to increase your level of vibration and/or attraction, science has proven that is you act as if you have what you desire (money, love, whatever) for 1 minute and 11 seconds you will be vibrating at a higher level therefore you will be closer to getting what you want. I try to do it twice a day everyday but today I will double that to silence that little voice.
2- I am going to focus for one hour on learning the steps of online marketing or the power of the spoken word
I love the simplicity of this video. Running and reading. I’ve always been a reader, but will start running too!
Truer words have never been spoken. I am a runner, and I set aside time every day — even if it’s only 30 minutes or so. Additionally, one week per month, I go media free,” which means no television, newspapers, etc., and I limit computer time to one non-work-related hour per day. The time is spent reading those books, articles, letters and so forth that I can’t seem to find the time for the rest of the month.
I’m not a runner, but I’m a climber. When I’m running stairs it’s a constant practice for me to overcome the little voice saying to stop and its in overcoming this little voice that I create new personal bests.
I could also go as far as to say that “talking myself INTO going to the gym” is just as important a little voice to overcome. As long as I GET to the gym, I’m good. It’s getting moving in that direction that can be tricky some times.
R&R brilliant. Keeping the body and mind alive…the recipe for success! I don’t care to just run, but I participate in a number of sports and weight training. Also I love research… to keep my mind sharp. I think that it is more important that we are doing, without being worried about the mechanics. Just do it!
I am an avid marathoner, and truer words have never been spoken. My hours on the pavement are my hours where my mind has the opportunity for deep introspection and rest. This keeps my mind sharp and focused. This is a great benefit to me, independent of the health benefits of running 40+ miles a week!
