All You Need To Succeed

The Possibilities We Hold

We all strive toward success in our lives, but what really makes great success in the first place? We usually associate it with huge fame or amounts of money, but as we discussed before, those are just the results of success and sometimes a successful person never even acquires them! However, it always comes with a plentiful amount of wealth, in many forms.

Passion is the driving force behind it, and we can also use it to define what success really is. Because when we look at the happiest people on Earth, we see that their greatest achievements weren't to acquire massive wealth, but rather to experience, share, and become their passion to the fullest. This is the way to true purpose in life, the road to fortune. 

Because sometimes it's better to hear these lessons from a great, influential mind, I've included a video that helped me realize what is possible.

Follow Your Heart - Inspiring Video

Find your passion and hold on to it with all you've got! No one can take that away from you and only you have the power to turn it into something great. We all have special skills and ideas that set us apart, and it's up to us to discover the true potential of what we can do. It's not just a desire for you to get more involved, it's a necessity! 

No one else can fill your part if you don't take action. Join me in the movement of taking action every day and make yourself dedicated! I was in the same situation as you not even a month ago. Trying to decide if I could make what I loved doing into a living. Make today the day you decide, and make it a YES! 

If you're worried about how you can monetize your passion, don't. It will come. But if you'd like to get a head start, and learn how owning your own online business can make you major income in 30 days, click here!

2 Quotes To Change Your Perspective

The Power of Thought

Life has a way of making it extremely difficult for us to learn the simplest of lessons at times. Just hearing the lesson is usually not enough, and it's not until we've been beat and left for better or worse do we figure it out, after all, a lesson is just words. Words have a great power when they are used in the proper way, but it's our thoughts that control most of the outcome of our lives.

These quotes constitute one of the greatest lessons in history of man, how to achieve your dreams. However, they alone have no power to make any influential change in your life. In order for the lesson to be fully grasped, which only 3% of the population chose to pursue, you must hold them in the center of your thoughts, as the complete truth, with all faith and confidence.

 We are the Masters of our Fate, the Captains of our Souls, because we have the power to control our thoughts. -Napoleon Hill

How much achievement is truly possible with the power of directed thought? When we look at human civilization and examine the impact we have made being the only inhabitant on earth with directed thought to our avail, we can see how much influence our thoughts truly have. Napoleon Hill taught us that when this power is realized, and manipulated with the urge of a definite major purpose, unimaginable greatness will certainly ensue.

  Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life--think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success. -Swami Vivekananda

Hopefully this quote will help ingrain the necessity of having a definite major purpose in your life. Without the actual certainty of what you are looking to gain, there can be no manifestation of it in your immediate or future existence. It has to swallow you whole, taking over your actions, attitude and thoughts, before it will become so commonplace in your life, that you can't see yourself living without it. If you have a true aching and determination for your dream or goal, then this will be easy for you.

I hope these quotes can help you move a little closer to reaching your true potential as you hold them in your thoughts. Just remember that nobody can be the controller of your destiny except for you, and that you already hold the keys to your future. Maybe you're like I was a few weeks ago, and you have no idea where you're headed or what you can do. Well I'm here to tell you that there are people who are willing to help you find that out, that have gone through the same situation, like me, and there are ways for seemingly ordinary people to achieve everything they dreamed off, just by following a few simple lessons.

If you're interested in taking charge in your life and discovering your true potential with the help of individuals just like yourself, then please, click here. Can you really go one more day thinking "what if"?

Dream - Motivational Video

What is driving you to your dream? Are you still relying on the thoughts of others, or are you investing your mind into your dream and making it a reality that no one can take from you? Leave your negative thoughts behind and only surround yourself with people who have a positive influence on your dream. Negative thoughts can create many more problems than just a lack of fulfillment, including:

1. Creating relationship problems with your friends and family
2. Making important tasks more difficult
3. Creating arguments that nobody "wins"
4. Shortening your lifespan and adding toxins to your blood
5. Making people want to associate with you, and like you a whole lot less

When you keep your mind occupied with only positive things, your life will seem 10x easier and people will be much more willing to offer you help and resources. Let the positive surround your life, and help us share it with the world.

What is Wrong with Our Culture - Alan Watts

The Change You Want To See

When we take a step back and observe our culture from a distance, we can see how twisted our society really is. Really observe your life and see if you've been sucked into the same autonomy that's described in the video. If you're like me you'll be itching to get out of the work environment to be your own boss and to live life like it was meant to.

Be Who You Are Seeking

What makes a person successful is not what people usually think. Having a lot of money, fancy houses and cars, or even tons of fame doesn't make you successful. These things happen as the result of being successful, and do not lead to success themselves. What makes a person truly successful, is having a valuable service or product to offer people, and having the mindset of a successful person.

The secret that all successful people know, is that when you achieve the proper mindset of a successful person, all else will follow. So how do we position ourselves to be in the top 5% of the population, and to directly make a difference in our lives? It turns out there are specific steps that every successful person takes before making a name for themselves. The following is a list of these steps that will help you acquire the mindset of a millionaire.

1. Define Your Future

Every person who has achieved something great has done it because they knew what they wanted. If you don't know what you're looking for, then no one will be able to help you search for it, and all you'll be left with are doubts and longing. Go create a clear vision of what goal and purpose you see for yourself in the future. Write it down everyday for 30 days, or until it sticks, and if you miss a day, start over. I'm not talking about superficial things, like having a million dollars or a new fancy car. Get specific about what you want and where you'll be, and your dreams will start to become a very real part of your life. 

2. Remove Negative Thoughts

Stop thinking about what will hold you back from your goal. Those things are out of your control anyways and there's nothing you can do about it. The more you make your defined goal a part of your daily life, the closer you will move towards success, and all those roadblocks will begin to fall away. When you start to think negatively, think hard about why you feel that way, go to your childhood if you like, and abolish it from the root. Your past is not what makes you who you are today, your decisions in the present do. 

3. Focus on the Positive

When we focus all of our controlled energy on the things that help us stay positive, we see massive results in the form of success. This success can be achieved simply by the joy of pursuing your goal. An intelligent person knows that every moment in this life is precious, and should not be wasted by focusing on the negative. Instead focus on the things that you can do to create success for yourself and bring more positive into your life. Doing these things daily can change your life in a major way, and helps us rediscover what's actually important; friendship, compassion, and love.  

4. Take A Risk

Nothing good comes without pay. In order to make better lives for ourselves, we have to be willing to pay up. It can be in the form of money, time, or effort, but will ultimately be a hefty price. Some of us aren't willing to go the extra mile and give all that is required to succeed. It's too risky, or would create too much trouble. They stay comfortable in "security". This is where most successful people are sorted out from the rest. To make your goal a reality, you must see every opportunity as a learning experience, and realize that the actual risk, is in not taking a chance and missing something great. 

5. Quit Running Yourself Down

When we look at successful people, we only see the things that make them great. We see all their accomplishments, dreams and ambitions, and then wonder what it was that made them that way. We see nothing mediocre or less than ordinary about them, and that's for a reason. A successful person doesn't let any bad ideas of themselves or negative self-esteem enter their lives. Make your life full of good things and good people. Once you can fully love yourself, others will begin to love you as well.

6. Change the Image of Yourself

What are the daily activities of the person living your dream life? How do they act around their friends and family, and what are they known for? Think about what that person would do to make them able to live that life, and do them every day. Change the way you see yourself, and the rest will follow. Hold the image of your true self to your heart, and let it mold who you are.

7. Act the Part of Who You Want to Be

Once you obtain your image, all that's left is acting the role. Write out daily actions that you can take, and let your dream future guide your life. At first it might seem unnatural, but discomfort is what lets us know that we are growing. If you have to, fake it until you make it, but eventually you'll realize that you've become that person living your dream life, and after all that work, you can finally sit back, and relax.

Success In Failure

Sometimes we beat ourselves up too hard for failing. We may think that it was the last shot, or that we can never be good enough. It seems like we're always holding grudges against ourselves for making a bad decision or not doing something better. Sadly, these negative thoughts are the ones that stick in our minds the longest. They get more power as you think of them, and only become the truth if you let them. The actual truth behind it is, if you were still left standing after you messed up, then you found something even more valuable than you were looking for; the experience.

It's time that we all start looking for more success in failure. In the words of Thomas Edison, "I did not fail 3000 times, but instead found 3000 ways a light bulb will not work. Success is almost in my grasp". How is it that we can see every failure as a defeat, when we still come out of it as a more experienced person? Whenever we attempt that unsuccessful mission next time, we will surely be ready for any challenge, and can easily overcome our inner doubts.

I take Edison's words to heart when I attempt to anything in my daily life. To me, most of the success comes from the ride along the way. Those are the things that can only be experienced once, and that make us who we are. Even if I come out the other side broke or left without anything to my name, I know I'll have the knowledge and self confidence that I found on my journey. And these are more important than any monetary or physical reward you can find. After all, our adventures in life are priceless.

Are You Really a Hippie?

While it's obvious that the cliche from the 60's has no shortage of usage here in today's age, there are a few differences between classic hippies and today's modern hippie. Free love for everyone has progressed to loving every living creature, and you can pretty much be interested in any kind of music nowadays, but vintage is still better and the Beatles still rock hard which means the essence of the hippie is still the same.

So what is a hippie? The classifications normally used for them, like lovers of the Earth, and ganja smokers, can be used to classify a broad range of people, and frankly, you don't have to do all those things to think of yourself as a hippie. As long as you have an open mind to the way of the hippie, the way of others, and a love for taking it as it comes, you can take part in the wayward journey of a hippie. With that said, I've compiled a short list of some generalizations of hippies, if one or two of these suit you, you might be fit for living adventurously.

1. The Outdoors are Your Indoors

Whether it be for climbing trees or strolling through the park, you just feel more at home when you're in the great outdoors. But really, who could say they don't enjoy the feeling of a nice warm breeze and the sun on their skin?

2. Your Animals are Your Children

 Hippies have an innate love for all living things. If you've had pets, you probably know how easy it is to find yourself treating them like your children. Hippies act this way with ALL animals. Some even go so far as to become vegetarians, or vegans, although not all of them.

3. You Love the Earth

We all come in different shapes and sizes, and there are over 1.6 billion of us, but the Earth never judges, and provides for us all. If you've realized how lucky we are to be on this planet, and you don't take it for granted, you're already on your way to hippie-dom. Others take the path by being environmentalists, or tree-huggers.

4. Never Mind the New, In With the Old

If you've ever worn a shoe to nothing, or re-purposed anything, you've got the idea. Vintage always looks better anyways, and who has money for anything when it keeps getting spent on weed?

5. You Have the Mind to Legalize

For a hippie, it's common sense that the next big change in the U.S. is cannabis legalization. From advancements in paper and clothing, to medicine and fuel, cannabis is on the fore-front of modern science, and us hippies are always the first to push for change.

6. Mushies, LSD, and Peyote are Better Than Candy

The psychedelic scene has always been a staple of hippie life, but it seems to have been picking up steam in modern day U.S.. With drugs getting stronger and easier to find, much more people consider taking a different kind of trip, and many find some spiritual experience or health benefit.

7. You Know That Life Always Gets Better

The most important aspect of the hippie is their love for life. We only have one and the hippie knows just how special that is. The most you can do as a hippie, is to make everyday unique and special.

Just is just a general list that is mostly based off of myself and fellow hippies I know. If you're curious to find out more about me, you can follow this link.

A Long Road Forward

The Longing for Adventure

Some people just know what they were meant to do. Some people can write out detailed plans of their goals and hold on to them strong until they become a reality. There's no other path, and no other passion besides what can make it true. These people have a clarity of mind, a sense of knowing what makes them happy. I like to call these people the enlightened. 

If you're like me, you're on the grueling path to enlightenment. You have interest and skill in so many things, it's hard for you to stay stuck on one. It also comes with a sense of wonder, an imagination of what great possibilities could be out there for you. You can't remain content with where you are right now, but you don't know where you're going either. All you know is what awaits you when you get there: self-realization. 

Until recently, I've found myself trapped in limbo over where I thought I would end up. I knew I had to see the world, but that may just have been caused by being trapped in the desolate wasteland of what is Texas my whole life. I kept inching slowly towards my goal, then one day the jumbled mess of ideas for what I could become started to blend together. I was beginning to see clearly a future where all my dreams could be met, and that was where I needed to be.

I know it will take a lot of work, but if you've been in that situation where things become clear to you, you should know that no amount of work can keep it from happening. I'll be leaving after this summer to experience and document the hippie lifestyle all across the U.S. It might get lonely at times during our travels, but as long as we have support, we can do anything.

It's very important that all of us who are on the path to enlightment stick together, and provide inspiration for each person reaching their goal. If you have any inspiration to share, please comment below!

Bring Success To Your Life

Endless Possibilities

Think of where you see yourself in 10 years. Not where you think you'll end up, but where you really want to be. Is it taking a cruise to the Bahamas? Maybe just relaxing at home with your family, happily retired. Do you see yourself as the CEO of your very own company? If I said that this could be your reality now, would you believe me?

The Choice Is Yours

Now I don't want you to think about what is keeping you from this goal. There's going to be a million things that you can turn into a road block, and use to keep yourself from believing that it's possible. Instead, I would like you to focus on one thing that you can do everyday to get you closer to your goal. It can be big, or small, as long as you're constantly focused on the same major purpose.

As you do this, you'll see that those road blocks you had when you started will begin to fall away. After only a months time, your goal will become more clear and reachable. Your mind will be like a laser beam, shooting straight to that purpose and blasting any other obstacle out of your way. This mindset is the key to making your dreams come true.

Why Sustainable Living? Is it Worth it?

How Can I Be Sustainable?

While Wikipedia and other sources define sustainable living as any persons attempt to reduce usage of personal and environmental resources, it's actually much more than that, and it's surprisingly easy to get involved! When we take a closer look at sustainability, we see that it's not really a reduction of resources that we're aiming for. Since the population is only continuing to grow larger, the usage of resources must begin to expand as well, or there will be no support for our future generations.

 This means that we should look for ways to generate smarter or free energy. We should look for ways to teach our children how to produce for themselves, and to contribute to society. While there are a lot of complicated and influential ways these things can be done, most people can find smaller, equally important ways to step in and make a change. It could be as simple as starting a vegetable garden in the back, carpooling or taking a bike to work, taking a fun and educational camping trip with the family, or even just minding the amount of water you use.

Be the Change You Are Seeking

With so many ways to make the world a little more sustainable, you can assume that each one is not for everyone. Sometimes you have to make small steps to reach the goal that you can really see yourself doing. Some people just aren't ready to make the change that the world needs, but it's up to the rest of us. 

If you're reading this, you're on the way. And you probably already know some ways how you can do your part. It's all about living mindfully, and thinking about the impact you will have made after we've left this Earth to our children. What will you have left behind?

A Successful Internet Community

A Little Bit About Me

While being a lazy hippie who just sits around all day and has no worries sounds pretty appealing, that's unfortunately not the case for me, so I thought I'd do a little sharing.  I'm 20 years old and grew up in Texas,  and it's probably the worst place any one can stay their entire life. It's searing hot all the time, and it's just a bunch of land with nothing to do. This, and the poverty of my family growing up, made me feel content with never having more than what came to me naturally. 

I worked minimum wage finally building up to a better wage at a call center, barely ever making enough for a normal person to live on. I seemed normal because I was doing what everyone else was doing, but I knew it did not feel normal for me at all. I decided to make a change, turn my life into something bigger. So that when I can finally live the life I want as a wondering hippie, I can also give to my family and community to make their dreams come true.

The Keys to Success

So I made the decision and became determined. I swore to myself that I would work non-stop to achieve my goal, and only then would I be able to enjoy life. I started a program that teaches online marketing, I invested in my own online franchise, started a blog, and applied for part-time work as well. I wanted my franchise to be part of a community that can help others achieve success as well as boosting my own.

What I found was something truly more amazing than that. I stumbled upon an entire community backing a project that not only teaches people the skills to make success, but gives them all the tools and support they need to achieve their wildest dreams. Seeing this in front of me was like a spark went off in my head. I needed to get involved. I needed make a difference in my life and see the change start to happen in others.

Our Community

That brings me to the purpose of this blog. I wanted to start a community that brought people together so we can share our secrets to success, or maybe even our mistakes along the way. A community dedicated to the bettering of our own, and other peoples lives. And if you're reading this now, I want to thank you already. You're interest in creating success for yourself and others is what will help this community grow. 

I'm not here trying to sell you something for the betterment of myself, I think there's already enough greedy millionaires out there. I just want to show you that there are people who are willing and eager to help you succeed, and everything is at your disposal to get you there. I can also say that nothing good comes without hard work, and it will take an investment of some time and money before any of us can see results. 

If you're willing to put that extra work in, maybe being part of this online franchise will be what you need. I can tell you now that if you check it out, you won't come back empty handed. Just the amount of education alone will make you more experienced and ready to make an impact. 

Please comment below if you have any insight on sharing success with others or anything on your mind!

Find Your Inner Peace

Things couldn't be simpler these days. Everything is automated. All your purchases are made at the click of a button. Human interaction has been digitized. All your morals are defined and set for you in law. And daily activities get recorded and monitored to ensure you stay in line with the social norm.

All these things seem great until you take a look closer, and realize the truth to it all. What everyone has been saying is supposed keep your life simple and connected, entertaining or even rewarding, is actually what roots you to eternal dissatisfaction. While technology is an amazing tool that can be used to get connected, it also more than normally results in one being sucked into the point of no return.

I'd like more people to be aware of this,  because the world is a wonderful place. The one thing that makes it truly wonderful, is people. People interacting with the world is a spectacular phenomenon that has remained a mystery since the beginning of time. No one can explain our existence here. And no one even knows how long we will continue existing. The one thing we can do, is make the most of it.

When people let technology control their daily lives, it ruins that wonder in the world. Anything can be found at the click of a button and experienced instantly. But is it really enjoying? The internet is a means to discovering anything you want in the world. It has incredible power that can make you visualize something from across the world, or in even in space. But does it create happiness? No, these things have always been, and always will be, left to us.

It's not hard, but sometimes I know it's good to be reminded. You are the only one who can create peace for yourself. It's up to you to decide whether or not it's time for change. Whether you will be comfortable in automation, being controlled by mass media and rules you were told to follow. You have the ability to make a difference yourself, and no one else can make it for you.

Live life like every day is your last. There's always that one thing that you wanted to do, but kept putting off for more "security". Would the wait be worth it if your life could end tomorrow? Why take the chance? I know there are reasons why things can't always be done right at this moment, but give it everything, put all your effort into it and experience the ride along the way. You'll learn things, meet new people and see the world in a different view. In the end, you'll be left with another perspective, where you'll be able to find enjoyment in the activities you do every day.

If you're anything like me, then finding financial freedom would be the first hurdle for you to jump in finding inner peace. I can tell you now, that nothing gets done without hard work and the right tools. Why commit your life to another person's benefit, when there are thousands of other options available? I have personally been tricked by hundreds of scams and now make it my duty to share with you all, what works and what brings great success. After all, the way to bring more peace to the world, is to share the peace you have found.

So check it out if you have a couple of minutes and see if it's right for you. I can tell you with my greatest assurance, that if any of you get involved you won't regret it. It's probably the best decision I've ever made myself, and can't let the opportunity slip by you. You can find out more by following this link.

Where Laziness Meets Prosperity

So many people are diving into the online marketing scene, and making TONS of money online, without seeming to do much work. I've spent my last 5 years of my life going the "old route" and working my butt of to make not even a single cent to my name. Doesn't seem right that the hardest workers get the smallest piece of the pie does it? I didn't think so either, so I decided to make a change.

I did the unexpected, and quit my full-time job with no notice. I couldn't stand the thought of being stuck in a dead end, doing what literally pained me to do at times, and not getting any satisfaction from it. I decided to live day to day, doing whatever made me happy and not worrying about the financial downside to it.

Now there's an upside and a downside to that. I finally had the time to do anything I pleased! But I also had absolutely no money to do it. I would surf online looking for an easy way to make some cash without having to slave away at someone else's expense, but all that led to was scams and an even emptier wallet. It took months to finally find something that worked for me, something that not only created a safe and reliable income, but also allowed me to spend the time doing things I LOVED.

Since this post is mostly just an introduction to what this blog will be about, I won't bore you with what I found to live my dreams. You can find out more by following this link here. I just want to say that this kind of lifestyle is there for everyone, you just have to be willing to go the extra mile to find it.

Here for your entertainment, and for my personal record keeping, will be a blog centered on the New Age Hippie Generation, as I like to call it. I say hippie because, well frankly, I have nothing else to describe myself by. I think that my generation got to the point where so many labels were used to classify and define a person, making you feel like you have to belong to a specific group, that no one knew where to go and ended up saying "screw it, I'll just do whatever". That mentality, and the willingness to wherever the world takes you is what makes the essence of a hippie to me. So, in short, this blog will keep you in touch with the lazy hippie culture of today, and the daily actions of a few hippies who want nothing more than to go with the flow and let the force of the universe take them to greener pastures.
