New Year Resolutions

Happy New Year !! 

Hey guys! 
This one is going to be quick! It's not about making money but it can help you achieve just that. 
In the last couple of months I've been going through a process of letting go of the past, of letting go of anger that I didn't even know was there until I had the time to take a look inside. 
If you feel like you always want to do a lot but you end up doing nothing, or like you are standing in your own way don't be mad at yourself, at list not yet. I  I had all the motivation in the world and all the tools I  needed to succeed but I ended up doing nothing. I couldn't figure it out! So after I finally finished my B.A I had time for myself. I had no more excuses I had all the time in the world and all I had to do was start working in order to make my dreams come true. Instead I found myself watching TV 18 hours a day, getting mad at myself for doing nothing. So I started asking questions, I found out there were some things in my past that made me angry about myself, an anger that I wasn't even aware of. This anger made me feel like I didn't deserve to make my dreams come true. I had to let go of the anger and all the negative feeling I had in order to finally move on. As I said I didn't even know those feeling were there, but after I figured it out and let it go I felt such relief. Like a giant rock I wasn't even aware of got lifted of  my shoulders. Sometimes we get used to pain until we don't even notice it's there anymore, but it doesn't mean it doesn't leave it's mark on you and effects your every day life. 

What I recommend your New Years Resolution should be is for you to stop for a day, and try to look inside into your most inner pain, regret, fear. Find out what it is that slows you down and just let it go! It will take some time to reach it and let it go but it will be worth it, you will feel energy flows through your body, you feel like you can be great, like you deserve it!

Celebrate your life, celebrate the moment and remember that happiness is not a goal, it's a state of mind, you can choose to be happy!

Day 7- Persistence

Hey everyone! 

Well weekend is here again and in that spirit I will take a little rest from technical stuff and I will tell you about the last few days and about the most important thing in your way to success - PERSISTENCE.

"persistence is the twin sister of excellence. One is a matter of quality; the other, a matter of time"

Well, in the last few days I wasn't feeling very well, the whole making money on the internet thing over whelmed me a little bit. Every time I started to think that I have figured out a little bit of this huge thing called the internet another million questions pop and I discover there are a lot more steps I need to take before I even begin to try to make money. 

Over whelmed by the internet and feeling ill, I found out two days ago at 11pm that I have to organize a room that became our 'storage room' so that someone could sleep there the next day. If you took one look at that room you would have thought that it was mission impossible! That's what I thought and I honestly had no idea how I was going to do it. I got into the room, looked at it, I thought that maybe I should plan it out a little bit before I start but then I figured that if I will think about it even a little bit longer I would just give up so I just started to take everything out of the room. In the end it didn't take much time to organize that room and make it hospitable.  I even got rid of a few unnecessary things  we just kept around for no good reason. I was pretty exhausted by the time I was done with the room. That night I planned to write a post and publish it the next day because I knew I won't have time to write one on Thursday. So I set down to write the post when I heard my mom panickally calling me, I went to the kitchen were I found my mom standing around a big pull of water that kept growing and growing. apparently our dishwasher was leaking!! So we had to draw all the water. In the middle of drawing all the water the power went off! 
So here I am in the middle of the night standing  exhausted in the dark on a really wet floor ready to give up on it all.  

You probably figured out that I didn't give up... I decided nothing will keep me from writing that post for my blog! So I fixed the power problem, dried the floor, took a deep breath and wrote the blog....
What does it have to do with persistence? Everything! If I would decide to slake anytime things aren't going my way I would end up nowhere. With that said, I think that we can allow ourselves to take a step back every once in a while, as long as it really is once in a while. 

I except myself as a person who start things but not always finish them, I started learning how to play guitar and didn't really practice it, I start a diet every week but I don't really stick to it, I start to work out but I can't hold on to a routine long enough to call it a routine. I think most of us are like that but some just can't forgive themselves for that. But with this learning process I can't slake and I can't give up, this time I need to be PERSISTENT! I know that if I make it here I will have means to make my dreams come true. I guess what I'm saying is that for some people persistence it easier then to others, if you are like me than just find something that will keep you going, commit to something and let everybody know you are committed to it, once you do that it would be harder for you to give up and once you overcome a setback like I have these last few days you will become even more committed to the cause! And most of all don't be so hard on yourself... 

Have a great weekend!

Day 2 - Motivation

Since it's Saturday and no one really wants to work or learn today I thought about talking about Motivation. I think it's the most important part of succeeding in anything you do, but at the same time it is the most slippery part. You can gain or lose you motivation easily.

Think about it, I started this blog yesterday, at first I got a lot of great responses which brought my motivation up and already made me think about what I was going to write about next. But than I got really not very supportive and skeptic responses from a lot of people who are closest to me. It was a hard blow, knowing that the people closest to me, the ones that are suppose to support me on everything I do didn't even try to understand what I was trying to do here. It saddens and I could have chosen to just give up and tell them - you are right, I can't do it, it's too hard, I don't really know what I'm doing. But instead I decided to prove them wrong and it boosted my motivation up I decided to say: 
" I know it is not going to be easy, I might not know what I'm doing but at list I'm trying to do something. There might be 99% that I'm going to fail but for that 1% of succeeding and for a long process of learning I am willing to try".
What am I trying to do? Succeed, Learn and maybe even help others by sharing my failures and success... 
What I would ask of whoever get to read this blog is, if you start something and no one believes in you - DON'T DARE TO GIVE UP! If you believe in you it doesn't really matter what others think. If you know someone that is trying to do something try to let go of your judgmental ways and just support him, not because you have to but because you might not get it but it wont cost you anything to support someone and it might mean everything to that person. 
So, to those who doubt me , I still love you but I WILL PROVE YOU WRONG, it would have been great to have your support but I don't NEED it...
