Trying Times

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

Think about it. Don’t hold everything inside or commence the panic when times get hard.  Talk about it.  Turn to whom you trust and discuss it. An outside opinion can change the outcome!

Its true..Some days are better than others. But even on the “Bad” days your still good…

Breathe in Life!

If the sun is up, enjoy the sunshine!

If its raining , its liquid sunshine!

Think about your life as a single building block… If you don’t use what you have to help others your useless.

But if you use yourself, you can not only surpass the trying times, You can have a hand in being something GREAT!

Reach out and focus on someone else when your down and help them up.  In doing that, you will lift yourself out of the “Trying Times
I know it seems to be hard but trust me (I speak from experience)

If you focus on others more than you focus on yourself in your “Trying Times“…Those times will go away!!

What is Your Legacy?

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

Heaven forbid, if you were to die this second what would your “Legacy” be? What would people say about you and the way you lived your life?

Be honest with yourself…Don’t answer to me or anyone else! Remember you know the truth so tell it to yourself.  If the answer is not what you want it to be you can make a change now! It is not too late.  Whether you have kids to carry your “Legacy” on or not…I promise one thing, If you touch enough lives your “Legacy” WILL be great!!

What is your Legacy?

Be honest with yourself! You know if you need to change or not.

My Vote?…We ALL need to change!

If you believe your “Legacy” is what you want…Could it be greater??

Think about it and answer yourself!

Paradigm Shift?

Friday, July 24th, 2009

Paradigm Shift”? What is that??

I’ll be honest I had no clue what that meant until November of 2002.

Story Time“!

I was in the Navy and going through a lot mentally. I was the “Poster Child” for depression. Psych eval’s on the regular and my L.P.O. (Boss) laughing at me asking if I’ve seen any “Pink Elephants”?

I got off work one day and ran into a friend of mine outside of the barracks.  He was going crazy! (in a good way) I honestly could not tell you what he said because he was stuttering beyond belief, in pure excitement!  It was something about making a lot of money and FAST! Thats all I needed to hear…”Be in the lounge at 6 tonight!” was the last thing I heard from him.

I fell asleep and woke up around 6:15 and ran to the lounge and there sat a well kept man in a VERY NICE suit and shoes that looked like they were worth more than my paycheck!! Did what he say make sense…Yes! It was Multi-Level Marketing. But, the following Saturday this gentleman picked me up to take me to a “presentation” and he was listening to some crazy old man talking about “Madness”!

At this point I was thinking “This guy is a complete LOSER!” It was getting to know him and the people at the “presentation” and seeing some of the cars in the parking lot (some very cool ones might I add) that made me think maybe I should pay attention to this crazy old man and his “Madness”…His name was [Jim Rohn] LOL Yeah go ahead and laugh!

Now that my mind was open I noticed that this old man MADE SENSE!!!

Change the way you think! – Its simple but I never knew how big it was

It was this point that I realized that “As a man thinketh, So is he or she”!!!

If you say you are..You Are! If you say you are not..You Are Not!

If your having a “Bad Day” you possess the power to change it!!

“Now I know, only I can stop the rain!”-DMX (yes I just quoted him)

Its that simple, What is “Paradigm Shift”

This is the “Paradigm Shift for Dummies”- Definition

Create Your Dream Day!!

If you start your day off listening to that annoying buzz sound that comes with every alarm clock(You know what I’m talking about…that sound that makes you want to cry!) and yell and pound your hand against the alarm clock.  Get up and stub your toe on the leg of your bed and hit your head on your dresser as you reach down to grab your toe…Guess what Your Going To Have A Bad Day!!!

But…

If you wake up with a sound you like and tell your self “I’m going to be great today!” Wash your face and brush your teeth then look in the mirror and afferm the fact that you are “Golden” and “Your Going to be Great Today!” Guess what Your Going To Have A Great Day!!!

Here It Is-

A “Paradigm Shift” is needed in everybodies life!

Try this prayer (for you Christians)

God,

Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can,

And Wisdom to know the difference!

Amen

Thats It and All I have to say!!

Look Me In The Eyes

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

A Vision of your “Personal Destination” in life creates a confidence that will show in your eyes.  Do not show your fears, not because they make you look weak because they don’t. But, because they are your secret strength. The inner fear of what you won’t become if used correctly can drive you to becoming great and yet unstoppable.

I may be over doing it with the video’s the last three days strait but…This stuff is powerful!

Try this on for size…I’m going to do the same.

Wake up in the morning, go into the bathroom and when you wash your face and brush your teeth,

look yourself in the mirror and say this to yourself:

“Look me in the eyes”…It’s o.k. if your scared, so am I.

But we’re scared for different reasons.

I’m scared of what I wont become;

Your scared of what I could become.

Look at me…I won’t let myself end where I started-I won’t let myself finish where I began;

I know what is within me even if you can’t see it yet;

Look me in the eyes…I have something more important than courage, I have patience!

“I will become what I know I am”

-Michael Jordan

What to some may be just a very good commercial is actually one of the strongest affirmations I have ever came across!!!

Give it a shot!

Rewrite it if you think you need to in order to put your touch on it.

Or don’t

Either way…I challenge you to use it!!

Stay Boosted!

I hope you have a good day!

Personal Reality

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Over time I’ve come to realize some things that most people know but don’t know that they know it!! (I hope I didn’t lose you).

“Personal Reality” is as strong if not stronger than vision!

If you have the vision of being successful you will get there!  Its just that “Personal Reality” is almost a step above vision.

Let me explain-

What is “Real” to one person may not be “Real” to another.  I’m not saying it doesn’t exist-What I’m saying is, for example, for the longest time my “Personal Reality” was that life was hard.  I believed that with all my heart.  I even tried to prove it to my friends and family.

My “Personal Reality” that life was hard drove me to a state of depression that I wish for no one! Panic and Anxiety-Attacks mixed with massive Suicidal Thoughts! YES…At one point in my life I did not want to live.

(Sorry but I have to say it)

Long story short…

I was in the U.S. Navy stationed on the U.S.S. Austin LPD-4 and at first I loved it…But after a very brief time on the ship I learned that it wasn’t for me. I HATED IT! Up before everyone so I could get their breakfast ready (I was a cook by the way) and couldn’t go to sleep till the Galley was clean from dinner.  Sometimes that would be 20 hour days back to back depending on what was on the menu.

No sleep mixed with not liking what you were doing and a sprinkle of stress from the then(fiancee) is not a good thing!!

Thus my “Personal Reality” was that Life was Hard!!!

BUT..

After realizing that life is what you make it be, and that you control your destiny I had changed my reality

Its not about what other people think.

WHAT IS REAL TO YOU CAN MAKE OR BREAK YOU!

If you fall into the mental trap of being depressed remember this: You hold the key to unlocking whatever door you want!

You can do so by simply changing your “Personal Reality” being What you believe is real!!

Life is not hard and that is one reality that I hope EVERYONE has!!

Are You Ready to Fail?

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

A really good “Positive Thought”, ok? Check it out!

Time and time again people , including “Michael Jordan”, fail just as much as us “not so super-humans” do.-lol, but its not that big of a deal to us until we truly look at it! For you “Golfers” listen to this: “Tiger Woods” didn’t qualify!

Us “regular people”, too often get so incredibly awe-struck by all that stuff that these seeminglyAmazing Athletes” have been able to accomplish, to the point that we think they have been given some kind of Gift From God or something!  Now, I’m NO doctor or therapist or anything like that, but I’ve learned to recognize fundamental, laws of the universe/Principles when I see them (for example “The Law of Attraction“). Principles that apply no differently to you and me than they do to the “Super Humans” mentioned above!

Failings Are Precious Life Lessons!

It’s the All-Mighty Michael Jordan! Arguably the best in his business, right? But THINK for a minute! Think! No, don’t say: “Yea but he’s Michael Jordan, he’s different, I could never be like that”. To be honest, I hope you’re already way ahead of me as to where I’m going with this, but if not that’s ok, that’s why StayBoosted.com is here, ok?

Failing Is A Necessary Part Of The “Life Learning” Process!

So the next time you feel like you “Failed”, be thankful for the “Life Lesson” and push towards your destination in life!

One more thing-I write to give you, “The Reader”, postive thoughts, motivation and a new outlook on life. I hope you enjoy what I have to write. If you do, please leave a comment so I know how you feel.
