Motivation and enthusiasm is at an all time high right
now. I have been reading, writing
and making moves. JLEvision has
lifted off and I am inspired to give you the best content I can to help you
reach your goals. What about for
you? How has the first 2 weeks of
the New Year gone for you? Today,
I talk about becoming a student of life.
This is something that has really hit me the past couple years and I
want to share some valuable insights with you….
Life mastery is not living some perfect and fairytale
life. Bumps will be in the
road. Challenging times will
arise. But striving for this
mastery of life has many benefits that will guide us to awesome living.
Life Mastery leads to…
Happiness: Without this, nothing else matters. No money, fancy cars, or big houses can
make you happy. You might be
thinking, “Shoot, if someone gave me $1 million, I would be very happy”. Yes, you are probably right. You would be happy for a little
while. But if you are not happy
right now, in this moment, then eventually that “money happiness” will wear
off. Happiness must come from
within and striving for this “happy place” is so critical to wake up each day
ready.
Health: We need to be healthy, fit and strong to live at
ultimate levels. If you are
overweight, underweight, sick or lack energy, you are simply falling short to
your ultimate best you. Healthy
living is balanced living.
Creating physical, mental and spiritual health is important to gain this
sense of balance. Take the time to
exercise, as this will pump endorphins into your bloodstream giving you the
sense of confidence and esteem.
Spend time reading, praying or whatever works for you to grow your
spirit. The human spirit is one of
the strongest forms of mankind.
And work on your mental conditioning. Drive positive thoughts into your brain and limit the
negative thinking. Powerful things
happen when optimism is on your side.
Relationships:
There is nothing better than a great friend and relationship. The people in my life have helped shape
me into the man I am. Vice versa,
the wrong relationships/people in your life can suffocate and “poison” your
life. “You are the direct
reflection of the top 5 people you spend the most time with,” says Jim
Rohn. Look around you; you are
just like the people you are always with.
Make the change if needed.
Deeply cherish the awesome people in your life and never take for
granted your relationships.
Resilience: Obstacles are destined to be in our path. Becoming a student of life will grow
and produce resilience. We need
this spirit for the though times that life bring. As I was running 300 miles, I came to the conclusion that
determination is stronger than weakness.
Finding this deep determination in the toughest of times will force us
to grow and expand into stronger and more resilient individuals.
Discipline:
Daily discipline might be the most important ingredient to living an
awesome life. Without discipline,
the goals do not get achieved and your life becomes mediocre. This habit of discipline will get you
up in the morning for that early workout, force you to write in your journal
and mold your mind to believe ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
Passion: Having
this intense enthusiasm towards life, your family and friends, your job, your
health, your faith…basically anything that you come across, will give you an
excitement to LIVE LIFE to the fullest.
There is no other way.
Enjoy the journey of life.
Take on the obstacles. Get
from the day! Live with
passion. This life mastery habit
will be contagious and others will follow. The world will be a better place when we are passionately
moving towards a consistent goal.
Start now to become a student of life. Start with a book. Start with a walk around the
block. Start with a positive thought. Your life is in your hands.
Make today a little better than yesterday and don’t settle
for mediocrity.
I challenge you!!
