The Miracle Morning Routine

If you feel like you're stuck in a rut, I would highly recommend starting a miracle morning routine. If you haven't, I would even recommend you get the Miracle Morning book by Hal Elrod. It's definitely a game changer especially if you work hard on yourself.

I been doing it for about a week or two and I have to say that I absolutely love it. I never really thought much of personal development till I read that book. I've always thought I could just listen to positive affirmations and my life would change for the better.

Then once I started reading, exercising, praying, meditation, and so much it began to click. I began to feel like there was so much growth that I yearned for and no matter what I did on a daily basis, I wasn't satisfied. I mean I was satisfied on the growth, but I wanted so much more.

So even today, I'm amazed by the things I'm learning. I'm amazed by the people I am currently following that I find so inspirational. It makes me know that despite what life may throw at you, I can do anything as well.

Definitely implement a miracle morning routine if you haven't done so all ready.

Peace of Mind

Today, I woke up around 7AM in preparation for worship service. The lesson at Church was amazing. Every lesson seems to be God speaking directly to me, and today touched me in a way I didn't think possible.

As I continue to grow and develop myself in this world, I have yet to have a solid foundation when it comes to my faith. Yet despite all the challenges that I've faced, I have so many things to be grateful. Why is it that we dwell on failures? Why do we dwell on the negatives? If some of you can explain, then please feel free to do so.

But after this morning, I come to realize that I want to switch my change of focus. Instead of constantly dwelling on what happened and about stuff I wish I could've done better.... I need to start now. It is my hope that I will be optimistic in every situation that I am and just trust in God.

I wanted to start my warrior diet, but that didn't work out because I ended up getting pizza with my girlfriend.

vLogging In Public

How many of you have gotten used to vlogging in public? I still haven't and I just feel awkward when people look at you. It's one of those things that you just have to get used to the more you get used to it. I tried vlogging today while at the bank, and I found out that I didn't record anything. I wasted seven minutes to find out that I didn't record one bit of what was said.

We then went to Joanne's to get some fabric and I tried vlogging there. It was way too quiet, and it was really hard trying to speak. It felt like a library in there.

How many of you vlog? If you do, then how was it when you first started?

Say Hello

It's been a while since I actually blogged and it's partly due to my lack of consistency. Consistency is always key, but having integrity applies as well. As you all know, I've been looking for a job. I haven't found one and the ones that I did find are way too far (5 hours away). Others are a lot of wear and tear on my car when it comes to being a delivery driver.

Fortunately though, I was able to get an interview at my girlfriend's work this coming Wednesday. I'm excited and look forward to it!

I know I said that I was going to do the warrior diet when it came to intermittent fasting. Guess what? I haven't even started it yet. I said I was going to do Tai Cheng but today I ended up doing Day 1 of Body Beast. I'm trying to commit to myself on doing the things that I say I'm going to do, but I know change does not happen overnight.

My mom is still waiting for her drug test at Johnson & Johnson. She was supposed to start on the 26th but they're still waiting for it. You would think they would be able to get a drug test easily and back with results just like that. I'm happy though my mom has a job. It seems like things are looking up. It's a matter of perspective.

I can't wait to look back a couple months from now and see my explosive growth. Remember to always greet yourself in the morning when a hello. It makes a difference.

Miracle Morning With Personal Development

I woke up at 3:30AM this morning to the sound of three alarms going off. I panicked and literally jumped out of my bed. I thought to myself that I wanted to go to bed, but I realized that enough is enough. That I was going to stay up and work on my personal development. As I'm typing this, I'm sipping on coffee that I made and I honestly just want to sleep.

I have my book next to me that I'm going to read before I start the day. Without a job, how much sleep am I willing to sacrifice in order to gain the momentum I need to succeed? Are the books I am reading going to do anything? Does blogging do anything? Does recording videos and posting them on YouTube having any effect? I'm not really sure.

I'm not really sure why I'm doing this, but I need to grow. I want to grow. I want to grow in ways that I never grown as possible, and in order to do that I need to create new habits to replace the bad. I have to implement every possible personal development I can.

5 hours of personal development doesn't sound bad to start off my morning. As I look for a job on Craigslist every hour, I could still be doing some form of business or personal development. I think I'l try that... divorce with Netflix and divorce with any type of social media that will distract me. Social media is a powerful tool only when used correctly.

Here's to those who wake up in the morning to work on personal development. Keep it up.

That Day When You Thought of Suicide

I'm not sure about you, but I'm pretty sure we all think of suicide in one point of our life. That point in life where you literally feel like giving up, and that there really is no point in living any more. I've had that plenty of times whether you believe it or not.

Yet here I am... I'm still breathing and I continue to wake up. When I look back at all the adversities that I had to face, I'm astonished on how I came to be. I'm slowly starting to realize that I can literally overcome all obstacles and challenges that I may face in life. I'm starting to believe that no matter how difficult things may be, I will be overcome this as long as I continue to press forward.

I try to live everyday full of positive thoughts, but sometimes it's hard. Sometimes it's hard for all of you, but you really have to just change your focus. You need to realize that you faced challenges before and somehow overcame them. You'll be able to overcome this one as well.

If you feel like giving up, then don't because I'm not giving up either.

Choosing a Workout Program

I've been doing Freeletics for a while, and I've been avoiding the whole BeachBody workout programs. I'm not really sure why I've been avoiding them, but that's what I've been doing. Originally, I've started P90X, and then I went to Insanity. I've went to T25 and then on to others. I've never finished any of them.

I think the closest program I've ever gotten to finishing was Body Beast. I absolutely love that workout except I don't have enough money to afford the weights. Maybe I never just invested the time and money to getting them. I'm not sure why.

So today, I'm contemplating on what I should do especially when it comes to incorporating this into my blog and my YouTube. I think I'm going to have to go with Tai Cheng, but I'm not a patient person. It takes patience for me to do the moves and I don't have it for some reason.

If you did a BeachBody program, what was it? How did you like it? Did you finish all the way through?

WordPress vs Blogger

I've been wondering about whether I should use WordPress or Blogger. Originally I had a WordPress, but I eventually turned to Blogger. I think what really caught my attention was that it was owned by Google which meant that I would rank higher in it's own search engine easier. I've yet to customize this site, and honestly I'm not sure how to.

At this present moment, I'm only using my blog as a documentary on what goes on. My own personal thoughts.

What site do you use to blog?

When All You Need Is Faith

When life wants to bury you and put you out of your misery, what do you do? As you all know, the past couple of months I've been stressing because of financial difficulties. Mainly due to not having a job and with my mom being unemployed.

Today, I went to Church and God always has a way of speaking to you. Most times, I don't listen. Most of the time, I try to but my mind tends to wonder. Today was different. Today I was all ears and I was giving everything I had to tune into to today's lesson.

I've been so focused on what "I" can do instead of truly having faith that everything will work out. That's what I'm going today. I'm going to do everything while having faith that everything will work themselves out.

I have always been the type of person who would be wary of what people thought, but as time progresses I'm learning that none of that really matters. I'm learning that I should do what I really want to do because only God has the right to judge me. I don't mean to bring religion in here, but it's a part of me and that's what this post is about.

Honestly, I'm not really sure where this BeachBody business will go. Honestly I don't know where I will be six months from now, but that doesn't really matter. There really is no point in stressing too much when no one can foretell the future.
