Tough Questions Suck, But You Have to Ask Them

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

Many people will fail to reach their full potential because they are afraid to ask themselves the tough questions. Tough questions usually have tough answers that we really don’t like to hear. Are you afraid of the answers to your tough questions? Is that why you are not asking them of yourself? Don’t drown in the river of denial. Don’t postpone asking yourself those difficult questions any longer. You know what you’re not happy about. You know where you are in your life today. It doesn’t matter how you got here, you are here. You can’t afford to dwell in the past because you can’t change it. What matters the most is the decision you make today. What matters the most is the action you take moving forward.


Sitting on your butt got you here today. Are you going to sit back and expect to change by continuing to sit on your butt? I don’t think so. Benjamin Franklin said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. You are not insane. Stop acting like it. If you keep doing what you’ve been doing you are going to keep getting what you’ve been getting except it only gets worse. Don’t be your own worst enemy. Don’t sabotage the quality of your life by failing to reach your full potential. No one is going to help you. You must help yourself. You have to want it in your life. You have to accept the fact that something must change. You must be the catalyst of that change. Don’t succumb to the tranquilizing drug of procrastination. Get off your ass and take some massive action because time isn’t on your side.

Make a promise to live better. Make a commitment to give yourself a better quality of life. Decide right now to take control of your destiny. Get going on the best days of your life. The decision you make today can shape your future like nothing else can. Empower yourself today. Elevate your life to the next level and don’t stop climbing. The promise land of success and happiness has a view that makes utopia look like a garbage landfill.

Don’t play games with your life, because life is not a game. Its a journey. We get to determine our destination. Are you going to the dark and desolate desert of despair? Or are you going to the empowering mountaintop of the extraordinary life? Take the first step now. Take control of your life today. The greatest day of your life will be the one on which you decided to take total control of your life. The day you stopped making excuses on why you couldn’t. The day you decided to make yourself accountable for your own actions. On that day, you will experience a freedom that’s just exhilarating. That will be the day where your life truly begins. That will be the day that shapes your destiny. You are the navigator of your life. Take yourself to the top of promise land mountain. The view is mesmerizing. Make the rest of your life, the best of your life. Take massive action now.

Hiding Your Problems is The Best Thing You Can do if You Want to….

Hiding Your Problems is The Best Thing You Can do if You Want to….

Hiding your problems is the best thing you can do if you want them to grow into bigger problems. When I was a little kid there were times where my room was an absolute mess with toys everywhere. My mother would tell me to clean up my room before I could go outside and play. I would be so desperate to play outside that I would open the door to my closet and shove all my toys in there. When I stacked up my collection of toys, I would slam the door shut and hope that an avalanche of toys didn’t come tumbling down. Bada bing, bada boom, no more toys in my room, problem solved right?


What I was really doing was sweeping my problems under a rug. You know what happens when you consistently sweep a bunch of small problems under the rug? Problems that are swept under a rug tend to multiply into much bigger problems. They tend to float around in the back of our minds while they slowly grow in size while we are in denial. So many people let their small problems manifest themselves into major problems because they think if they avoid them they will disappear. Then they find themselves forced into major crisis control when they could’ve avoided the entire situation. Don’t let your problems gain interest on you. Take care of any problem right then and there so you don’t have to worry about that problem rearing its ugly head again. Did I mention I always got hit with the avalanche of toys?

How to Solve Any Problem The Right Way Using The 5/95 Rule

1. Start off by getting excited about your opportunity to provide a solution to your problem. Believe that you can find the solution. Stay cool, calm, and collected. It is all about your attitude towards the situation. Having the best attitude will always put you in the best state of mind which is very important when it comes to being a master of solutions. Believing that you can do it will be critical to your success.

2. Forget about what you could have done. Its all about what you are going to do. No one can change the past, but we all can change our futures. It is very important that you get the highest and best use from your time when it comes to finding solutions.

3. Analyzing the situation should only take up about 5% of your time. This is what I like to call situation analysis. Find out exactly what the problem is. This step is crucial to your success because if you don’t know exactly what the problem is there is no way to fix it.

4. Spend 95% of your time seeking the solution. This is your time to shine so step up and find the solution. Don’t be afraid to take a risk. Keep trying different approaches until you succeed. Many people have achieved the unthinkable during the most difficult of times. There is no reason why you shouldn’t be able to do the same.

5. Learn from the situation and move on. Don’t keep making the same mistakes because that is what Albert Einstein calls insanity. It is imperative that you use every experience in life to make you a better person. Remember, “Win or Learn, there is no failure,” Henry Ford.
