You came here for Opportunity…NOW GO GET IT!!

Feeling Stuck? Take the Power Back.

Our BIGGEST DESIRE is to somehow, someway help you feel EMPOWERED!! To make you stronger and more confident, especially in controlling your life and claiming your pursuit of happiness.

We believe every human has been endowed by their Creator with a spirit of Power (and of Love and of Sound Mind). 

If the above is true then why are the following quotes also true:

We are the most in-debt, obese, addicted, and medicated adult cohort in U.S history. Brené Brown.

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a truly sick society. Jiddu Krishnamurti 

What breaks your heart about the world today?

I was asked this question recently, and here’s what I wrote:

What breaks my heart is the overwhelming evidence of people living their lives without passion, without purpose, and without progress, or without progressing.  It was devastating in our past when we found ourselves… rather we FELT ourselves living like that.

If power is simply the ability to create change, then we all know what it feels like to feel powerful. You're like, man, I’M DOING IT!!! Yes!!! I'm in control. I'm going somewhere and making things happen. 

The opposite of powerful is feeling stuck, overwhelmed, a feeling of despair. Playing small, wanting to be invisible, wanting nobody to take notice.

Change The Way You Look At Things And The Things You Look At Change. Max Planck and later, Wayne Dyer

“Feeling Stuck” or “Feeling Powerful” is less about our circumstances and more about our perspective; our beliefs and how we look at things. (Consider creating your own Diamante Poem like the one below)

Pivot your Perspective by asking yourself Higher Quality Questions

Look at your mind like a large ship. The direction it takes is controlled by the rudder. The questions you ask yourself are the rudder and you, alone, can control the mind’s direction. Questions direct your mind in ways that will either empower you or defeat you.  

Have you ever woke up unintentionally asking defeating questions like:

Why am I feeling unmotivated/stuck? Why am I not further ahead in my life or career? Why can’t I control my eating?

I think it would be better if our minds, before answering, would evaluate the quality of the question and reject those that are not productive or empowering. But instead our mind digs into our past, and comes up with evidence to support our perspective of feeling stuck. It’s almost like we summoned our brain to come up with a long list of reasons as to why we should continue being unmotivated/stuck, unsuccessful and a Fatty McFatter Pants.

It’s not your mind’s fault. We don’t need to upgrade its software. Rather we need to increase the quality of the questions we ask it. 

“How do I just get through this day?” - Disempowering question

vs

“Which opportunities can I seize today to move my life forward in ways that matter to me?” - Empowering question

The first question is like being a fire extinguisher; “Putting out fires all day long.”  The second question is about you being a fire starter; “Ignite yourself and others.”

How would your thought life and external reality change and elevate if you adopted the following perspective:

Everyday I look for opportunity and if I can’t see it, I create it. 

EVERYDAY is opportunity day.

“I came here for an opportunity!”

Stop Waiting… Start Creating!

Cultivate Creativity

Instead of being a manager of my circumstances. I am a creator of my life.

I’ve been given the power to create and I’M GONNA USE IT!

(Adopted from Tony Robbins)

I remember working out in a gym, a few years ago, and it was heavy leg day. Front Squats, HEAVY, 5 sets of 5. The first 35 minutes was just to stretch and warm up the muscles and the nerves. Then we started the real work. We built up to a heavy fourth set and right before the final fifth set.

(And my thoughts were, “I just wanna get this over with. I just want to get it done, pat myself on the back and get outta there.”) 

The coach abruptly stopped all of us and said,

“Just wait, hold on, stop it!  This is set number five.

This is exactly why you came today. This is where all of your results are gonna come from is this last set.

You came here for an opportunity.

Now get up and GO GET IT.” 

And so, man, the shivers still, today, run through my body and I want you to do the same thing.

You came for an opportunity. That’s right. Every day, you're looking for opportunity. And you found one. And it's the opportunity to build more skills into your life so it can unlock and unleash more of who you are in the world.

SO GO GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
