963. How to get out of a slump (and get motivated!)

Being in a slump sucks BIG TIME. It takes a huge toll on our lives… it starts off small, and grows out of control! It eventually leaves us paralyzed (if not dealt with!). Little tasks pile up and SEEM HUUUGE. The house is always a mess, and the laundry sits in a big STINKY pile. Staring at you… with those needy eyes. Whimpering… “cleeeeean meeee!”. It’s all so overwhelming… and annoying. I know. I’ve been there. You were once a passionate super hero, ready to take on the world! …but now you feel reserved, anti-social, and prefer to hang out in crowds of one. The only things you want to surround yourself with is milk and chocolate chip cookies. Raisins aren’t welcome… ever. This slump is affecting your work, your...

964. Make Mistakes (lots of them)

964. Make Mistakes (lots of them)

We never do anything because we’re afraid it’s not going to be perfect. We are terrified of making mistakes! Instead of taking action… we sit back,  relax, and get comfortable within the fencing of familiarity (not to be mistaken with being content). A Quick Side Note: We often fool ourselves into thinking familiarity & comfort makes us happy. But It doesn’t. We just create the illusion that it does. Unfortunately for us… all the juicy good stuff we hear about in the movies, like “TRUE HAPPINESS”, “GROWTH”, and “PROSPERITY”… Isn’t found within this illusion. It patiently waits for us just beyond the fencing of our comfort zones. We literally need to hop the fence of familiarity if we want...

965. Great Ideas Are Worth Nothing (Without Execution)

965. Great Ideas Are Worth Nothing (Without Execution)

Ever wonder what your ideas are worth? I’ll tell you right now. YOUR IDEAS ARE WORTH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING (WITHOUT EXECUTION) You could be sitting on a $1 million dollar idea. But without taking action or executing that idea, you materialize NOTHING. You see my friend, ”nothing” isn’t worth very much (at least the last time I checked). Add to the mix the fact that everybody has ideas (including your pet goldfish). Makes it even less valuable. But don’t lose hope. Instead, take advantage of the fact that very few people actually take action, or execute upon their ideas. Be the top 1% of people who understands the importance of taking action & executing their ideas and you will stand out. Be Different And Be...

966. Risk vs Reward

966. Risk vs Reward

Risk vs Reward by Dave Bocking For the last few years, I have been able to navigate through life with very little resistance. There are many contributing attitudes and perspectives that help day to day, but in those times of making very difficult decisions, I always weigh the (potential) RISK vs (potential) REWARD. I will use a very straight forward situation that almost everyone has encountered: I drive to a party and have a few drinks. I’m not necessarily drunk, but could potentially blow over the limit should I get pulled over. I think about how much of a pain it would be to pay for a cab, and have to get back to my car in the morning… but by weighing the potential risk versus the potential reward, the decision is obvious. Potential Risk – Get...

969. How to be Attractive

969. How to be Attractive

Growing up I had a hard time getting girls to like me (in a more than a friend kind of way). I just couldn’t figure out the secret to winning hearts over. I saw it as a BIG problem, and decided to devote a few years of my life to find the solution to my question:   “How do I become more attractive? So that people (girls) like me.”   I spent countless hours studying social dynamics, psychology, love systems, and pretty much anything I could get my hands on. I eventually found the answer I was looking for in the most unexpected of places. The answer I found goes beyond how to get (girls) to like you. It taps into a force that will have the whole world love you. Everyone and everything around you, will naturally be drawn to you. From...
