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!
