Man this is something that I needed to hear. Building your own business is HARD. You spend hours and hours trying to get results only to get slapped in the face with no sales.

Reminds me of when I first started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I spent 8-10 months of getting choked out every night before I began giving back. The "pain period" we have to go through when starting something new is the block of granite in the pathway of the strong. The only way to get through it is to keep moving forward..

I'm quoting a book I'm reading right now, by Carlos Castaneda (Title: The Teaching of Don Juan).

Anything is one of a million paths.
Therefore, a warrior must always keep in mind that a path is only a path;
If he feels that he should not follow it, he must not stay with it under any conditions.
His decision to keep on that path or to leave it must be free of fear or ambition.
He must look at every path closely and deliberatly. There is a question a warrior has to ask, mandatorily:
Does this path have a heart?
All paths are the same; they lead nowhere.
However, a path without a heart is never enjoyable. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy --
it does not make a warrior work at liking it: it makes for a joyful journey;
as long as a man follows it, he is one with it.

Great book by the way.

Parts of this are paraphrased:

"I would always ask people, "why are you training." If the guy would say "I want to train because I think that if I get muscular then maybe I can enter a bodybuilding competition." I said, "sit down, if you think this way you're gonna be a loser, you're never gonna make it because there is no maybe. You've got to get up and say "I'm gonna be a champion, and I'll do whatever it takes, the visualization, reading motivational books, whatever it takes I will do."

You can detect right away those who will not go all the way and those who are hungry. You have to create a short term and long term goal and you have to go after it and you have to see it and believe it. You have to visualize your future and that creates the will you need to work every day, the will that makes you go beyond what everyone else is doing and makes you push forward. Being full of joy and looking forward to the end-result is the most important. Every day is getting you one step closer to that goal, to making your vision a reality.

YOU know, and it doesn't matter if anyone else knows, visualizing
yourself where you want to be and all you have to do is go towards
that vision."

- Arnold Schwarzenegger

Daily Quote:

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

- Mark Twain


Question For Your Heart:

Would you regret it after 20 years if you didn't do it now?

Daily Quote:

Once someone makes a decision about your cause or your product or your resume, it's almost impossible for you to persuade them that they were wrong. You're no longer asking them to remake the first decision, you're asking them to admit an error, which is a whole other thing.

- Seth Godin


Question For Your Heart:

How can you make a better first impression?

Daily Quote:

There’s work and there’s your life’s work. The kind of work that has your fingerprints all over it. The kind of work that you’d never compromise on. That you’d sacrifice a weekend for. You can do that kind of work at Apple. People don’t come here to play it safe. They come here to swim in the deep end. They want their work to add up to something. Something big. Something that couldn’t happen anywhere else. Welcome to Apple.

- Apple Inc.


Question For Your Heart:

Is your work your life's work?

I found this on youtube



"Like if you listen to this song in this year 2012!!!"
-leonard0lewis 2 months ago 121

"Seriously, when else would we be watching this? We can't travel through time. & If we were, I doubt we would spend our time on youtube. Stop being a thumbs up whore."
-cambriax in reply to leonard0lewis 2 months ago

Which makes me think, if we were time traveling from the future to this current present, what would we do? Waste our time on this forum?

"I thought it would be interesting to spread a thought which resurfaces in me on a regular basis. That there is a horrificly small number of seconds in an average lifetime.

1 hr = 60min * 60sec = 3600 sec
1 day = 3600sec * 24hr = 86,400 sec
1 year = 86400sec * 365days = 31,536,000 sec
70 years = 31536000sec * 70years = 2,207,520,000 sec

So, to reflect, there is only 2 Billion seconds in 70 years !!!! Perhaps, I've gotten used to seeing numbers of this magnitude. However this means that I cannot hope to count to 1 billion, let alone actually read and comprehend 1 billion written words. My intuition tells me this is small and gives me a bit a fright and a reality check that I will not have the time to do everything I want to or rather even very much. Remember, you are probably using a good number of seconds even reading this and reflecting!! 1.... 2.... 3.... 4....

Now, you should be thinking by now, that you have even less that 2 billion seconds.
----Half of your life you need to get refreshing sleep. So really, you only have 1 billion seconds of awake time.
----If you are in your late 20s, you probably only have 30-40 good years left if that. So 500 million seconds !!!
----Half of the time you are distracted by normal life of work, money, family/friends, or entertainment... 250 million sec
----Considering how long it takes to have original thought or understand something, say 1 concept every 20 minutes(1200 sec)... 250,000 concepts in your lifetime!!!"

Daily Quote:

Now that just about everyone is in the business of selling their time in some form, it's important to be aware that even if something doesn't cost you cash out of your wallet, the opportunity cost is not only real, it's just as valuable. Not only does it cost money to say 'no', it costs money to say 'yes'.

- Seth Godin

Question For Your Heart:

Are you selling your time at a good price?
