the first Bootcamp was a success! thanks for all of those who came through. thanks for all the support and positive FB messages & texts. none of this would be possible without your support!

today was a big day for me so thanks to those who shared this with me; i appreciate you guys very much and i can’t thank you enough. if you couldn’t make it this time, come through next saturday!

a few words on success:

this bootcamp was a success because it was in line with what i want in life. i want to bring people together and have fun. i want people to be happy. i want to motivate people. and i want people to be healthy. and i feel that i did that today. this is how i will always define success. its not about money, its not about status, its not about fame. its about answering your calling and being around positive people.

thanks again everyone! #ypowr

Who Do You Want To Be?

Leave a comment

Stop being a victim of the conditions. Stop with the blaming, the pointing fingers and the “only if” mindset. The way you are right now, is the way you’d be even if the conditions were more favorable. Decide who you want to be, truly understand what it means to be that person and be that person every second of every day of your life, starting today.

Be that person for you and your family and for no one else.

“The only man I look up to and respect is the family man. The man who treats his wife like a queen, the man who supports his kids no matter what, and the man who understands that family, above everything else, is the most important blessing of all His blessings.” – me

Keep On Walking

“If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking.” – Buddhist Proverb

 

the question here is, “how do we know if we are facing the right direction?”

i believe i am facing in the right direction because before every decision i make, my family, my friends and my Lord fill my mind; they influence every decision i make.

if my family, my friends and my Lord are all i see, then i know i am facing the right direction. keep moving, stay humble, and thank your Lord.

Priorities

“the problem is that our modern culture says, “go in earlier, stay later, be more efficient, live with the sacrifice for now — but the truth is that balance and peace of mind are not produced by these; they follow the person who develops a clear sense of his or her highest priorities and who lives with focus and integrity toward them.” – 7 Habits (9)

write down your top 3 priorities. every single thing you do should be in harmony with those 3 things. and when you’re doing something that is not in harmony with those 3 things, pay attention. following close behind is usually an excuse (a justification). listen to this excuse, understand and accept that it’s holding you back, make a plan to fix it, and then execute that plan.

get your priorities straight, this will answer a lot of your questions. think good, do good.

No Complaints, Only Thanks

Leave a comment

humble yourself. when its raining, thank the Lord. When it’s sunny, thank the Lord. when you feel like everything is too much, give everything to Him and thank Him. His love and forgiveness is so strong. all we need to do is remember Him and Thank Him. never forget about Him, all He asks of us is to remember Him and love each other. try it, good things will happen. always be thankful and let the Lord know that you won’t complain.

3 Simple Words, 3 Simple Sentences

Leave a comment

i am amazed what 3 simple words can do. when i feel like giving up, sometimes 3 simple words is all i need to keep going. it’s as if 3 simple words take over and are the only 3 things in my world at that moment; not even the task at hand stands a chance. i become the 3 simple words.

i hear the 3 simple words in my head, but deeper in my mind, i see/hear/feel my ypowr!  i see/hear/feel my future family, my future wife, my future kids, my future career, my future health, my past health, my past friendships, my past hardships, my past mistakes, my current state; i see/hear/feel it all.

3 simple words can motivate you.

Just Keep Moving

3 simple words can humble you.

Thank You Lord

3 simple words can change your life forever.

I Love You (is there someone in your life who deserves to hear these words from you? or is there someone who you’d want to hear these words from? sometimes these 3 simple words limit us. never limit yourself. and don’t be concerned about their response (or non-response). this is about YOU and how YOU feel about someone! I love YOU. and please remember that LOVE is a VERB. to love someone means that you sacrifice for that person, that you work hard for that person, that you put that person before yourself.)

if these 3 sentences are part of your daily life, then i believe you are a positive & progressive individual. always keep moving, always be thankful, and always think love.

Courage

“courage is rightly considered the foremost of the virtues, for upon it all others depend.” – Winston Churchill

but what is Courage?

“courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear — not absence of fear.” – Mark Twain

everyone is afraid of something. surround yourself with positive people and your resistance to fear (courage) will get stronger
