Hooman's Story

Talk to Yourself

Would you ever go up to a friend and talk to them this way? “You loser, you are never going to amount to anything. You will never find happiness. You always fail at everything you try so why are you even going to waste your time. You are not smart enough to accomplish that. How in the world do you expect to get out of this mess?” Would you ever talk to anyone that way, let alone a friend? Of course you wouldn’t talk to anyone like that. What shocks me is that people consistently talk to themselves in that terrible manner and they wonder why their lives stink. I got news for you Captain Crunch, stinking thinking leads to a stinking life.

The quality of your life is going to depend on the quality of your thoughts. What you think, you will become. If you tell yourself you are a loser, you will always be a loser. Why would you sabotage your chances of achieving something if you are going to tell yourself that you are going to fail before you even try?

Research has shown that the power of positive thinking can make a major difference in the quality of someone’s life. Positive mental thoughts can change the behavior in under-achievers. Positive mental thoughts can lower stress levels. Positive mental thoughts can drastically improve your well being and your health. Positive mental thoughts can give you energy and motivation. Positive mental thoughts can improve someone’s athletic abilities. Positive mental thoughts can help you deal with adversity and challenges better. Do I need to continue or are you sold on the benefits of empowering thoughts? Just remember, the more empowering your thoughts, the more empowered your life will be.

Now if you have been mentally abusing yourself over the years with negative stinking thinking, it is going to be very hard to avoid thinking completely positive all the time. Negative thoughts are going to arise from time to time until you become a master of your thoughts. Don’t worry about it, don’t be extra hard on yourself with more negative stinking thinking. Just catch yourself from any additional negative thinking and change the focus of your thoughts to empowering thoughts. Over time your negative self talk will disappear and you will become a master of your thoughts.

The more you focus on empowering thoughts, the more your life will change for the better. Buddha said, “We are what we think. All that we are arises from within our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make our world.” When you become a master of your thoughts, impossible will no longer be in your vocabulary. The words I can’t will be replaced with I can. You will never fear failure again. You will achieve accomplishments beyond your current capabilities. Change your thoughts and you will change your life. Leave the negative stinking thinking for the rest of the world. You are on a mission to join the best of the world and the quickest way to do that is to become a master of your thoughts.

Life Changes Everyday

Life is an amazing experience that changes everyday. Sometimes life’s changes happen so fast that if you are not changing with it, you are going to be left behind. You definitely don’t want to be left behind because its hard to catch up. If you want a great example of life’s changes leaving people behind, all you have to do is just look at the countless people who still can’t operate the internet. Believe it or not, these people are out there. Are you changing with life? Or is life’s changes leaving you behind?

Change = Better

Humans have been thirsty for change since the days of the cave man. These changes have made our lives better and better with every change. Lets face it, no one has ever set out to make a change because they desired to make things worse. Our passion for change over the years has been inspired by our desire to make things better. How thirsty are you to make a change for the better?

Become a change artist. A change artist is someone who is committed to constant and never ending improvement. I don’t care who you are, or what you have accomplished. I guarantee you that there are many areas of your life that could benefit from improvement. Make your weaknesses your strengths. Make your strengths stronger than ever. Learn new skills that will make your life better. Strive for this improvement because if you don’t, there will always be someone who comes along who is smarter, stronger, better, faster than you are. If you don’t make it a point to change for the better, those change artist will pass you by. In today’s ultra competitive world, if you are not a change artist, you will be in danger of losing out to one.

What changes could you make that would make the quality of your life better?

What skills could you improve on?

What can you do to improve your communication skills with your loved ones and the rest of the world?

What can you do to improve your health?

What changes are you in desperate need of making?

Only you know the answers to those questions. Only you know what changes you need to make. Stop being in denial and start making the necessary changes that will drastically improve the quality of your life. Don’t let life change without you. Become a change artist and commit yourself to constant and never ending improvement. Even small changes lead to big improvements. Don’t let life get better without you. Life gets better by the day, make sure you get better with it.

Going to The Top of The World

Mt. Everest is a mystical place that attracts thousands of mountain climbers every year with a dream of successfully reaching the top. The summit of Mt. Everest is 29,035 feet above sea-level, it is affectionately known as the top of the world. Can you imagine what the view must be like from up there? When a mountain climber wants to reach the summit of Mount Everest, they don’t step away from it. They take little steps towards the summit. Some climbers take more little steps than others do to reach the top. I guarantee those climbers who have successfully climbed Mt. Everest didn’t care how many steps it took, they only cared about getting to the top and returning back safely. Lets face it, as long as you get to the top, the view is always the same.

There are all kinds of people who have scaled Mt. Everest. These men and women had a dream to do what so few have done. Everyone who has scaled Mt. Everest had a different story but they shared the same dream. The success stories that can be told about these extraordinary people are simply amazing to say the least. We can talk about fearless Mark Ingles, who lost both of his legs in a previous mountain climbing accident. This man scaled Mt. Everest on two artificial legs in 2006 to become the first double amputee to climb Mt. Everest. Then there is my friend Mark, his brother Erik Weihenmayer became the first blind man to climb Mt. Everest. When he first told me about his brother, I thought he was kidding. Not only was he serious, but he proceeded to tell me that Erik had climbed Mt. Everest two times. A blind man who scaled Mt. Everest twice? FORGETTABOUTIT. Are you kidding me? I think I saw Erik walking on water yesterday. Talk about two individuals who didn’t let their challenges get in the way of their dreams. Talk about believing in your abilities to make your dreams come true. These two achievers showed the world That anything is possible when you have a dream. I want to see someone try to tell these two achievers they can’t do something.

Secret to Success

“What is the secret to success Hooman?” That is one of the questions I constantly get asked wherever I go. In fact, I used to ask that same question myself whenever I met someone who was successful. The most common answer I would get is that cliche answer that everyone gives, “It requires lots and lots of hard work young man.” I am sure you’ve heard that too, haven’t you? I got news for you, it requires a little more than just hard work.

What they forget to tell me about is all the little steps that had to accompany all that hard work. They forgot to mention all the little decisions they had to successfully make along the way to achieve their dreams. Whether your dream is to become a multi-millionaire, get a higher education, climb Mt. Everest, or you want to get into the best shape of your life, you will only achieve your desired goals by continuously taking little steps in the right direction. I call this “SMART WORK” not hard work.

What is SMART WORK?

Hard work is what they do in construction, SMART WORK is what smart people do. Smart people ask themselves in the morning, “What can I do today, that will get me closer to achieving my desired goals?” They don’t waste their precious time playing games or beating around the bush. They are all about taking action towards the promise land of success. They can’t afford to waste time because that is only going to delay them from the success that they deeply desire. Smart people know that standing still is the same as moving backwards. Even if they only make a little progress everyday, as long as they are making progress in the right direction. They are committed to constant and never ending improvement so they know it will only be a matter of time before they achieve their desired goals. Smart people never lose their focus when it comes to achieving their hopes, goals, dreams, and desires. What are you focused on daily? What is your dream?

What Little Steps Are You Taking Daily?

Where are your little steps taking you? Are they running you around in circles? Are they taking you away from your desired goals? If your answer to that question is yes, then stop taking them. Stop navigating your life in the wrong direction. Start charting a course that is going to take you to the promise land of success. You are the pilot of your life, you are in total control of your destiny. Don’t go down that road that is going to lead you to nowhere, cause nowhere is still somewhere. Its just not where you want to be. Trust me, I have been nowhere in the past and the view sucks big time compared to the view from the promise land of success. Time is not on your side so stop wasting it. Now is the time to start taking those steps that are going to get you to your promise land of success. Even baby steps are better than standing still. So ask yourself this question everyday, “What can I do today that will get me closer to making my dreams come true?”

INTENTION TO ACTION

Millions of people wake up everyday with the greatest intentions to achieve all kinds of amazing accomplishments. Countless people intend on making the world a better place with their fabulous inventions that they’ve been thinking of for ages. While countless people intend on improving their lives by becoming self employed or finding a better career. The list of these great intentions could go on forever. So many people have so many good intentions that they are drowning themselves with these GOOD intentions. Aldous Huxley said, “Hell isn’t merely paved with good intentions, it is walled and roofed with them.”

Great Intentions = What? Depends on YOU!

Whether your intention is to change your horrible attitude so you won’t be so negative all the time, improve the quality of your relationship with your partner, or to start exercising so you won’t feel like crap every time you look in the mirror, these intentions are absolutely WORTHLESS unless you are backing them up with MASSIVE ACTION.

In fact, some intentions could end up killing you if you don’t act upon them immediately. The smoker who intends on quitting ends up dead if they don’t take action and quit smoking. Obese individuals end up with all kinds of medical problems that all lead to death if they don’t take care of their health. The alcoholic can lose their life in many ways if they don’t quit their drinking. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR INTENTIONS?

TIME FOR SOME ACTION

Now is not the time to take the tranquilizing drug of procrastination. Now is the time to take MASSIVE ACTION. You are not here forever, so WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? SOMEONE TO TAKE ACTION FOR YOU? Let me know how that works out for you. YOU AND ONLY YOU CAN TURN YOUR INTENTIONS INTO ACTIONS. Don’t be afraid to fail, BE AFRAID OF NOT TAKING ACTION. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. THE GREATEST RISK IS THE ONE THAT YOU DON’T TAKE. ACTION CONQUERS ALL FEAR. Get fired up and go after it with the FIERCE URGENCY OF RIGHT NOW. ACT AS IF IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL. Stop intending and start doing. Whatever it is that you desire to do, JUST DO IT. People from all over the world are achieving greatness right as we speak. The only difference between you and them is ACTION.

REMEMBER, YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING YOU DESIRE IF YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR ABILITIES TO ACHIEVE. JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN.

THINK IT

BELIEVE IT

THEN YOU WILL SEE IT

NOW GO OUT THERE AND TAKE SOME MASSIVE ACTION TODAY.
