Do You Eliminate the Positives or the Negatives?

If there's one thing I know well, it's that life is good and always getting better. IF you let it. A business associate once told me, 'This is the worst it will ever be. It only gets better and better!' That is an empowering belief!

The pessimists (and the close-minded) will say 'How awful! You're doing so bad it can't get any worse!' Well, OK. One of my friends actually believes it CAN get worse, no matter what. He is thankful for what he has, which he should be, but mainly because 'it could be worse.'

Why is the first statement good and the second bad?

Your Life Is Waiting On You! When Are You Going To Show Up?

I first heard the phrase 'start before you're ready' from Marshawn Evans. I thought to myself she must be crazy. I can't start before I'm ready. Well I have to be honest. Marshawn was right. Once I got enough courage to do my own event, I thought to myself that I wish I would've started sooner.

Your Life Matters. Your life is waiting on you. Many of us are waiting for the perfect time to start our business, the perfect time to travel, the perfect time to move, the perfect time to buy a new car, the perfect opportunity, etc. While it makes sense to wait to do certain things so you don't appear to be completely irrational or illogical, the reality is that there's never going to be a perfect time. Perfection doesn't exist. Sometimes you just have to take a risk. You have to do something different.

There's a curious quirk with the human brain. It's how it's possible to navigate the social context without our heads melting.

Because think about it: in order to do just about anything, you need to predict how other people react.

But you can't simulate another brain (and maintain your own) without being orders of magnitude smarter than they are.

Somehow, you manage. Sure, it's not perfect, but you can usually predict how people will respond.

When to use flattery and when to be stern, for example.

This quirk of your unconscious mind can let you learn insights from people you've never even met.

Even people you could never meet.

The funny thing is that it even works with fictional characters.
