Hey guys

I'm not really motivated to write this blog, but I'm going to write it anyways.

I've been On WA for a month now, and just got ranked in the Top 200 on exactly 1/3/15 (one month). It's a nice accomplishment and I'm proud of it.

I would like to thank all the people who I have connected with and who have helped me and supported me thus far.

I would also like to thank Kyle for putting so much time and effort into such an amazing program. I am still in shock over how valuable this stuff is. It's worth the monthly investment and then some.

----------

I have been in a bit of a funk these last couple of days. I don't really know why, other than I'm unmotivated to do anything at the moment.

I'm starting to realize that the more I try and be a better person, the more obstacles will get in my way. This could be anything from the devil to everyday barriers, to psychological barriers, etc.

I made a lot of New Years resolutions, so I also think that I've put a lot on myself in 2015 as well. After keeping some of my resolutions from last year, I can see that anything is possible with the right mindset and a goal.

For instance, I made a resolution to stop complaining. This in turn causes me to become hyper conscious of every time I'm about to complain, thus making me realize HOW MUCH I COMPLAIN! I think we as human beings go through our day to day life un-aware of how much negativity can manifest from even the most minute situation.

Becoming a better person is not quite as easy as I thought it was going to be, and that's really what I'm getting at. Changing habits, dropping habits, and turning bad ones into good ones is an extremely difficult and time consuming process. Our minds have gotten so used to doing things the wrong way, that we become complacent and content with mediocrity. WITHOUT EVEN REALIZING IT.

It's almost like a form of brainwash. I was listening to this webinar yesterday about Time Management. It really opened my eyes in many ways. How much time do I really have, and how much of it am I wasting? We always complain that there are never enough hours in the day.

BOLLOCKS. There are plenty, but we don't realize it because half of those hours are spent slacking off or browsing the internet. He made a great point about the difference between busy work & productivity.

In the paycheck paradigm, (which we are all trying to escape), Many of our daily hours are already alotted for. Meaning, we don't even have to think about trying to be productive. We get up and go to work for 8 hours, and then come home. But there is really no such thing as "being productive" at a job. How many times have you tried to "look busy" so your managers wouldn't get on you?

Being productive is defined as doing things or tasks that yield the results you are looking for. Things that will aid in your ultimate goal.

Busy work is stuff that you do that you THINK is helping you to progress, but really is just a hindrance.

----------

Trying to get out of our comfort zones psychologically is one of the scariest things that I can think of. Even right now I am starting to freak out. I feel as though I could have a panic attack at any second.

When it seems like the people around you (in the physical) are all progressing and you're stuck in first, it can be very draining. Comparing yourself to others. Draining.

But I'm not going to give up. Every negative thought must be countered with a positive one. Every day I must be better than the day before.

And I will leave it at that.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen.

-Stu

Stu, Great Post. When we ask the universe for something we get it. You asked to stop complaining and you got things to complain about, so you could figure out a way to stop complaining about them. How about asking the Universe for things to appreciate and for which you are grateful. Have the Universe find these things for you and bring them to your consciousness.

Thank you Amagic! I'm finding that my mindset is beginning to change a little day by day. It's not a complete 180 yet, but I'm making progress. Thanks for stopping by!

Great post Stu, I've almost giving up but am glad I didn't. You're doing great Stu, Keep at it:)

Thanks Jazmin! When did you think about giving up? I hope not recently.

About a month ago Stu.

Well glad you didn't. Because I love seeing your face appear on my profile :) :)

Thank you Stu, I like your new profile pic:)

Those before me have stated my initial thoughts. Understanding what needs to change is half the battle. Most people never bother trying. Also, try not to compare yourself to others, either in this business scenario or in life.

We are all God's unique creatures, created in His image, but with our human flaws and imperfections. If we were perfect, there would have been no need for Christ's atoning blood sacrifice. But, we aren't. We are called to be holy, which means always striving to get there. You are doing that!

Thank you Allyn, I was thinking about your comment at work today. We must push through and not give up. It does feel like this is where I'm supposed to be, for many different reasons.
Keep in touch

Even better stu for a month.

:)

Your doing very well indeed for only being here 3 months.What I would say to you is,don,t compare your situation in life with anyone else.I made that mistake and when you look at things that people have and you cannot afford them it will only leave you feeling worse.You are unique,just the way God made you and remember what Jesus said "My grace is sufficient for you" learn from it because my yolk is easy and my burden is light.Just keep toiling away stu and it will work out for you,you are in this community because the Lord put you here.

One month Tom, but who's counting ;) Thanks for the inspiring words :)

Amen brother, put Jesus first and everything will work out. It's not an easy thing being a Christian, but who wants to screw around with eternity. Congrats on your top 200 milestone.

Yeah it's tougher when you actually try to implement the bible and the word into your own life. Thanks for your kind words

Anytime.

the simple fact that you are becoming aware of all these things is a tremendous accomplishment buddy. That and the TOP 200 in a month ;)
Jesus would tell you that you just opened a door that no man can shut. Now all i can do is quote Joey Bada$$: "I won't stop until I reach Christ Conscious!"
you are well on your way to whatever you dream of and some more

Thanks Aurelien, always appreciate your support.

Don't worry Stu, we all have our moments. Not trying to dismiss your comments as I really do know what it's like to be down and feel you just cannot get up. Comparing yourself to others is a bad game. Do what you can and that's what you can do.
Personally I think you're doing terrific - just give things more time and it will all come together.
Best wishes. Glyn

Thanks Glyn. Feelin' a little more motivated
