Acknowledgment
I dedicate this and most of my books in praise to God within me, my children Gary Jr.,
Kristina and David, my loving family, and my true tribe of friends for inspiration and
support in creating all these words and inspiring me to culminate this book, & Manifest
Me Now TM program.
I bring to the table a passionate belief that my clients do not have to remain trapped or
confronted daily by the thoughts or behaviors that result from abuse. Through my own
journey of recovery from sexual abuse, I have gained insight and understanding about
what it takes to overcome abuse. This makes it possible for me to relate to and
appreciate your struggles intimately. Based on my desire to foster community, intimacy,
and connection, I have dedicated much of my time to understanding relationships and
communication and how they are impacted by abuse.
For me, how we are relating to others is crucial to improving the overall quality of our
lives. In addition to the lessons I've learned along the way, I have attended various
lectures and training to further my skills.

My program, Manifest Me Now TM, has been specifically designed to change the way
we think about and heal from abuse all based on my educational training and lessons
learned from my own journey. I hold an ordination as an Evangelist, a certification as a
Life Coach.
I provide a compassionate and challenging approach for my clients while using
coaching as opposed to therapeutic models. I am the recommended author of American

things you take for granted someone else is praying for.

WHY?
Because every successful person was once an amateur like me and you. What makes the
difference between a successful person and a nonsuccessful person is their belief.
A successful person believes that they can attain success. They believe that with the correct
mindset, strategy, and handwork they can make success happen. They understand that intelligence
can be developed.
A not successful person does not believe they can succeed. They don’t believe that anyone would
want the value that they have to offer. They don’t believe that they’re worth very much. Even if they
could do something that would make them successful, they don’t believe they can do it. And that
self-limiting belief is enough to stop them from taking those critical first steps for success.
Is it very important for you to believe in yourself wholeheartedly because this belief actually helps you
overcome obstacles and struggles which you will eventually face along the way? Otherwise, any sane
person would have given up once they face any hardship.
Besides,
if you don't believe in yourself, who else will?

None of the rules will work if you don't believe in yourself. Your beliefs will determine the success you
have in life. There are many ways to overcome limiting beliefs and negative expectations, but nothing
happens until you believe in yourself. So repeat after me.
“I believe in myself. I am worthy and I am capable of success.”

How often do you tell yourself that `one day’ you’ll start on that project, launch that initiative or
produce that book, product or service, only to wonder why it never actually happens?
Have you ever thought it might be because you’re waiting for permission? The green light that says
`go for it’? Or are you afraid that you're not good enough, and you don't have what it takes to do it? If
that sounds like you, let me tell you this.
You Are Enough! Stop Asking For Permission! It's not who you are that holds you back, It's
who you think you're not.
And if you try to seek the approval of others, it will just make you miserable. The only person that
needs to approve of you is yourself. You can only be you, and it is not until you reclaim your unique
self that you can be truly great.
You have what it takes to succeed. The thought of thinking you're not enough is the No. 1 limiting belief
you need to erase from your vocabulary now. It doesn't help you and it's sabotaging you from
succeeding in life. Like I mentioned in rule #1, successful people were once amateurs like you and me.
Most of them started their journey to success with the will and desire to succeed in their life. Skill,

mindset, and resources will come once you're ready to go after what you want in life. Everything
doesn't need to be perfect the first time. Keep going, my friend.

It is ok if you did not receive the best education from a top school. A person with great EQ can be
far more successful than a person with a high IQ but can’t manage their EQ. But ultimately, even
people with good EQ can’t beat those who are desperate for success, they will do whatever it takes
to beat out the competition, roar their way to success.
Yes, it is certainly good to be intelligent, and have a high IQ; this is an important asset. But you must
realize that it is not enough. Your IQ and EQ will help you personally, but DQ(Desperation Quote) it
what is going to help you to succeed in whatever you pursue. If you can understand this underrated
form of intelligence, you will achieve greater success.
Here is a story about a blind man ...
John was walking on the road when he saw a blind man trying to cross the road. He quickly ran to the
blind man and held his hand and made him cross the road. The blind man thanked him and asked John
to ask for something in return for his favor.
John replied “Nothing sir. I am in search of a job and I want to become a very successful man“.
The blind man replied, “I live close to Orange Beach. Meet me at the beach tomorrow at 4
AM.”

The next morning John got up early, dressed properly and went to the beach where the blind man
was waiting for him.
The blind man asked John “Are you desperate for success?” John nodded his head in agreement.
The blind man asked John to hold his hand and walk. He took him into the water. The water
reached their waist. Amazed, John said, “I don’t want to learn swimming, I want to be successful“.
The blind man laughed and kept on walking until the water reached their necks. John asked, “What
now?” The blind man held John’s neck and inserted it in water. After two minutes, when John was
half numb, he raised his head.
John was sneezing and taking a very deep breath.
The blind man asked:” when you were under the water, what was the thing you wanted the
most?”
Out of breath, John replied, “I wanted to breathe”.
The blind man took him out of the water. Once John was calm he explained, “When you truly want to
succeed, as bad as you wanted to breathe under the water, you will be successful“.
He further said “when you were under the water, you didn’t care about the luxuries you have or the
things that life provides you. All you wanted was to breathe, the case is the same with success”.

Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything or creating anything.
Period. If you ain't desperate at some point, you ain't interesting. Jim Carey.

This rule exists because of rule #3. What causes people to become desperate? Hunger. When we
are hungry we need to eat, but if there isn’t any food on the table we need to look for food. And now
food becomes our priority, all of a sudden we develop a sense of urgency to hunt for food now
because we would die of hunger if we didn't feed ourselves.
Urgency- According to life coach Tony Robbins, is the difference that separates successful individuals
from unsuccessful ones. So it’s pretty self-explanatory, if your success isn’t urgent to you, you won’t be
successful as you’re not hungry for success. If you're not hungry for success, you will only do what it
takes when you're free, in other words, you'll only do it when you're comfortable.
I've met many smart people who live a mediocre life. They have what it takes to do something great.
But when you talk to them, they'll tell you why it's not the time yet, or they aren't good enough, and so
on. They're not hungry for success, if they're hungry for success they will do what it takes to win
despite of all the limiting beliefs they have in their mind.
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of
knowledge, but rather a lack of will. Vince Lombardi

One big reason why most people are not successful is because they don’t define what success
means to them. When you ask them what success means to them, they would say
“Have a nice car?”
”Have a nice body.“
“Have lots of money.” etc
Different people measure success differently. Yes, I know that, but the keyword is “measure”. For
example “Have lots of money.” How much money exactly is a lot to you? $100 million, $100 billion?
Have a specific answer to your measurement of success.
For example,
“ Have a nice car 2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4”
“ Have a nice body killer athlete body shape, weight 260 lbs., and 25% body fat.”
“Have lots of money $10 Million dollars in savings, $1 million-dollar in rental
income(monthly.)”
It’s ok even if your definition of success is related to material possession. Well at least define it as clear
as possible so that the universe knows what you’re after. Do you feel excited after knowing what you
really want after seeing the example I set above? I bet you do.

For the longest time, I didn’t understand this rule, because I thought it was unnecessary.
It wasn’t until recently that I discovered that once I know what I want, it cannot only make me more
productive, it can also dramatically increase the clarity I have.
Here’s a quote by Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland which really resonates with this rule.
“Alice asked the Cheshire Cat, who was sitting in a tree, “What road do I take?”
The cat asked, “Where do you want to go?” “I don’t know,”
Alice answered.
“Then,” said the cat, “it really doesn’t matter, does it?”
Therefore If you want to be successful in life , or start a business around your passion, you first
have to know what you want.

"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill: the story
ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill:
you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." - Morpheus, The
Matrix
The Matrix is one of my favorite movies of all time. And this scene about the choice of taking a blue pill
or red pill struck me hard when I first watched it.
This is about the choice between a difficult path and blissful ignorance. You can make clear parallels
between the red pill and a tough undertaking, such as embarking on a difficult squat program. You
know it will be hard work, and that it will likely take you to some dark places, but remain steadfast in
the knowledge that it will be worth it.
Alternatively, you could take the path of least resistance, the blue pill, and never know. We are
faced with these choices daily. Working on our weaknesses, eating more vegetables, doing our
mobility work
− these are all things we can either grab by the horns and attack wholeheartedly (is there any other
way?), or ignore and live in a state of supposedly blissful denial.
Take the red pill, magic happens outside your comfort zone.

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a
pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
Hunter S Thompson

Rule # 7
“If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.”
Bruce Lee

Don’t over-analyze or overthink. Take massive action even if things aren’t perfect before you start.
Most people that try to get things perfect never get started at all.
Let me introduce you to a new way of thinking..
1st let me share with you about archery. How do we start archery?
1. We get a bow READY, place the arrow,
2. We AIM carefully at the target,
3. We FIRE the arrow.
Now, it seems like common sense to all of us. You must be thinking who doesn't know this stuff?
Wait, let me ask you. How many times when you wanna do

something but you're afraid that it doesn't work out according to plan, you think and think and think
again and yet you never take any action at all? Sound familiar? We all wanna get the perfect shot, we
keep aiming but never fire because we over-analyze.
You have to FIRE first, only then you'll be able to learn from your first shot. It's ok if you don't get the
perfect shot for the first attempt. And by right archery took many years of training to get perfect shot.
You're not supposed to hit it right at the 1st shot.
This concept was introduced by Michael Masterson in his book ‘Ready, Fire, Aim’.
I used to be a perfectionist, but I realized that by taking action, I could get much more done and
make much more progress.
You can make all the excuses in the world, but nothing happens until you stop blaming your
circumstances or people in your life, and take control of your life.
It is up to you to take responsibility for your life and create your own opportunities. You may not be
able to do exactly what you want right now, but you have the opportunity to take steps toward it.
No one will create the dream life for you. You have to do it yourself.

Don’t be self-conscious about dreaming, or about people thinking you’re too idealistic, and
not serious enough. Don’t allow your self talk to be judgmental. Look at the world with
wide-eyed enthusiasm, believe you are more powerful than the problems that confront you
and dream big. In a world without a dream, there would be no smartphones, no adventure,
no space travel, what a boring world it would be!
Don’t betray your dreams for the sake of fitting in. Dreaming is one of humanity’s greatest
gifts – it champions aspiration, spurs innovation, leads to change, and propels the world
forward. ~Richard Branson.
While you pursue your dreams, there will be a hardship, there will be challenges and there
will be obstacles that will tear you down. But hey, all this happened to you because God
knows that you can handle this. Don't give up just yet, giving up means you're betraying
your dreams. Instead, find alternative ways to reach your dream.
Like Zig Ziglar once said: 'When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your
goal; you do not change your decision to get there.' The next rule will show you why most
people betray their dreams.

Rule # 9
One of my weaknesses is my impatience. However, I’ve learned to channel

my impatience into getting more done and being productive. It’s also important
to realize that most of the things that are truly valuable in life take time.
For example, I discovered that creating an online business usually takes anywhere from 3
to 5 years, if your goal is a full-time income. Whatever you do, keep taking small steps
each day toward your primary goal, and you will be surprised by how much you can
accomplish in just a few years.
People overestimate what they can accomplish in one year and underestimate what they
can achieve in ten years. They set unrealistic goals and force themselves to achieve it in 1
month, once they failed to achieve the goal they set a new goal and the cycle repeats itself.
What a waste...
“Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass
anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.”
Earl Nightingale

What does it mean exactly to burn a bridge? The Urban Dictionary defines burning a bridge as “cutting
off all ties in a relationship; to burn a bridge means to be completely done with something.”
This is extremely important if you want to speed up your success.
When I first saw this quotes, it reminded me of a scene from Extreme Make Over (Weight loss edition)
where my favorite coach Chris Powell gets his client Dana to carry his own addiction (50 pounds of
soft drink and raw beef) and walk across the longest pedestrian bridge in the world. Chris wanted
Dana to walk to the end of the bridge and throw his addiction away. And so he did it. Man, I dunno
how to describe this. The moment Dana threw his addiction away, that moment was so uplifting and
Dana's expression was like "I'm totally done with this, I've conquered my own addiction and there's no
turning back." I think that's the most appropriate scene to describe the meaning of this.

“There's no reason to have a plan B because it will distract
your Plan A.” Will Smith.
Why Plan B sets you up for failure.
The mentality behind having a “Plan B” is solely based on the idea that it's ok for you to fail as you
have a plan B, therefore it is fundamentally flawed. By having a backup plan you already accept the
idea that there is a possibility that “Plan A” will fail. I like to think of ‘Plan B’ as this soft place to land
called your comfort zone. It is one of the biggest contributors to why our drive goes out of the window.
A comfort zone is so much more appealing than taking a chance at something scary and new,
especially when things don’t work out as soon as you want them to or according to plan. People back
out once they hit a few speed bumps and baby, there will always be speed bumps.

I have never seen anyone who achieved great success by simply being interested in what they do.
The road to success is filled with people who are interested in achieving something but only with the
few who do whatever it takes to succeed. And that's why more than 80% of the people fail. The road to
success takes more than interest, or even passion, it takes commitment to succeed in life.
This concept applies to all areas of life,
Especially in today's microwave society, instant gratification is what people are looking for. People
want success now, and few are willing to be patient. However, if you can train yourself to stay
committed, you can build momentum and ultimately achieve great things for yourself.

Rule #12
Another thing successful people have in common is that they always give their best, no matter what.
They do not make halfhearted efforts and they play full out. There is a reason why you should do that

too. When you continuously do your best and at any given moment, you'll leave a good impression to
others. Others will see you as an enthusiastic and passionate person, they'll like you for who you are.
Have you ever noticed that those successful people who gave their lives in order are also more active,
involved, and generous with charity, church, and volunteer organizations? They find time to make giving a
top priority in their lives. The fact is your success is an outcome of how much you do for others. Your
deeds have a lasting impact, not your stuff, power, position or busy schedule. Successful people make
more time to serve others. Becoming a success is directly proportional to what you give. It’s a fine
line—some people give to get—but that won’t work for most.

What you get is a RESULT of what you give!
Giving is the outward expression of your inner commitment, character, and dedication. A banker once
told me that the first line he looks at on a loan applicant’s tax return is “contributions.” He tells me he
can usually judge a person’s true integrity and sincerity by looking at that one single entry. People who
donate money generously and on a regular basis can be trusted. People who don’t find time or money
to give to others are self-centered and can’t get everything in life they want in life. People who don’t
give are the only ones who complain about giving. Give giving a try. you will get more in return than
you ever give.

Rule # 13
'Do not EXPLAIN and JUSTIFY yourself' is the choice of a wise one. We often want to explain
something to justify our ideas and thoughts.

However, the explanation doesn't always help and still worse, it becomes completely different
from what we explained.
Hills did not explain their height and it does not affect their magnificence;
Oceans do not explain their depth and it does not change the fact that they contain all
streams and rivers;
Mother earth does not explain her presence, but no one can replace her status as the bearer of all
things .......
Life is not about impressing other people. If you try to show off, it will backfire.
Nowadays, many people talk more than they do. Because it’s easier to complain, lay blame and justify
something. But know that all the talking will not last. The only thing

that has residual consequences is your actions..actions are worth more than a thousand
words...
When you focus on what you need to do regardless of a fast result or not of your actions, sooner or
later you will succeed..Believe in doing the right actions toward your goals, the more you do, the more
chances that you will succeed. The more you work in silence, the more successful you will become.

Rule # 14
Lots of people have ideas. If you ask people how to lose weight, you'll probably notice that many of
them can provide you many great ideas on how to lose weight. But in reality, how many of them

actually make those ideas happen? Having an idea is just the start. An Idea alone is not enough to
make you succeed. You need to do the work to make it happen...
That's why you'll see many nutritionists who are in bad shape, they probably know more about what's
the bad food to avoid and what's the best food to eat because that's their job scope. Whether or not
they apply what they've learned is a totally different thing. It's hard work. It's effort. It's backing up your
talk with real action.
The idea is just the start. Consistency is the key!
That's why you have to focus on practical execution and results. There is little or to no benefit to
learning new information if you do nothing about it.

Rule # 15
The first step to accomplishing your goals and making your dreams come true starts with this
simple realization that you are human: you are not perfect and you can’t do everything alone.
Always keep things realistic.

Ask for help, because asking for help is a form of intelligence. Asking for help doesn't mean
that you're weak, it's actually a form of leverage.
Let me share with you a story that's well known in China.

Straw Boats Borrow Arrow
Once upon a time in China, there was a wise man called Zhuge Liang. His rival Zhou Yu tried to think
of ways to kill Zhuge Liang because he foresaw that he would become a threat to his country, so he
asked Zhuge Liang to help him produce 100,000 arrows within 10 days, if Zhuge Liang were to fail to
produce 100,000 arrows in three days, he would be executed. When Zhuge Liang agreed and took the
pledge, Zhou Yu secretly felt delighted because he thinks that Zhuge can not complete the task in
time. On the third day, with help from Lu Su, Zhuge Liang prepares 20 large boats, each manned by a
few soldiers and filled with human-like figures made of straw and hay. In the hours before dawn, when
there is a great fog, Zhuge Liang deploys the boats and sails towards Cao Cao's camp across the
river. Cao Cao's troops rush out to engage the enemy but they were unsure of the enemy force's size
because their vision was obscured by the fog. They fire volleys of arrows in the direction of the noises
and the arrows got stuck in the straw figures. By the time they returned to base, Zhuge Liang had
acquired more than 100,000 arrows, so Zhou Yu could not execute him.
This is a beautiful example of leveraging other people's resources. I'm sharing this story with you in
hope that you realize asking for help is a form of strength, not weakness.

Rule # 16
“If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.” Bruce
Lee
Successful people choose to save time rather than money, let me give you an example:

Let's say you want to travel to Thailand from Singapore, you have 3 choices:
Choice
Mode of Travel Cost
Duration
Mode of Travel Cost Duration
A
Walk
$0.00(free) 3 weeks
Walk $0.00(free) 3 weeks
B
Coach
$50+ 10-13
hours
Coach $ 50++ 10-13 hours
C Flight
$75+ 2-4
hours
Flight $75++ 2-3 hours
I choose C because I value my time, even if I pay slightly higher than 'Coach',I save at least 4-5 hours
of my time. I have more freedom and joy to explore the land of wonder, have good rest for my body
and soul.

Let's imagine if I chose A. How much time and energy I would lose just to figure out which direction
led to Thailand, furthermore, I would have to walk across the street and use the money to buy food,
water and shelter along the way before I actually reached my destination. Even if I reach my
destination 3 weeks later I don't think I would enjoy my holiday.
I hope you can see the difference between saving time and saving money by the example I've shown
above. You can make more money, but you can't make more time. When you waste your time, you
are wasting a portion of your life that you'll never get back.
Your time is your life. Many people don't understand this concept of saving time over money, in the
end, they lose both time and money. This shall lead to the next rule.

Mentors are invaluable for so many reasons, the most important reason to get a mentor is because
mentors have already been through what you experience and the ability to reach the top. Cut all
learning curve that you might need to spend decades to learn. And if you understand the value of time
on rule 16, you won’t waste it.
Can you think back into your life of someone who you admire? Perhaps this is someone who is very
successful in their career, their family life, or even socially? In our lives, there are dozens of people
who have managed to be very successful at what they do, and these people are a wealth of
information, as long as we are able to tap into that wealth. That is why it's very important to find
someone that you can learn from - a mentor.
A good mentor will help you stay accountable to your goals, they will help you pay attention and
stay on track. When you get frustrated and want to give up they will push you harder and keep you
going. A mentor can be invaluable to ask you the hard questions and challenge you to come up with
the answers.
If you can't find a mentor by yourself, read books. Like what you're doing right now, books have a
wealth of information you need to get started.
The consequence of not getting a mentor is huge. Just imagine what if you get bad information from
someone? How much would it hold you back from succeeding in life? And it would cost you a lot of time
to research.
Remember this, you don't have enough time in the world to make every single mistake. Why spend
years figuring out something, that's available for $10 in a book?

There's a huge difference between superficial knowledge and wisdom.
How many people do you personally know that read a lot of books and spend
time attending seminars, but never apply the knowledge they learn? I call them
seminar junkies. The truth is, you can attain the best knowledge from the best
school in the world, but nothing happens until you apply what you've learned. This
refers back to rule no 3.
“Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not
enough, we must do.” - Bruce Lee

“Simplicity is the key to brilliance.”
If you can simplify your life, your goals, and your tasks, you will not only be happier, you will also get
more done and be more successful. If you’re trying to go after multiple things at once, you will end up
accomplishing none of them.
The beauty about focusing on one goal is that it seems that you’re neglecting all the others aspects of
your life, but when you focus on one goal, the other aspects of your life tend to improve as well.
Simplicity is beautiful. Complexity is ugly. The more you have, the more you want and the more
complex things get. People believe that big business needs to be complicated – but it doesn’t. We
make it complicated ourselves because we think that this is what is needed for success. Big doesn’t
have to be complex. Often, small and simple is more powerful than big and complex. I am always
running into this trap of complexity and I forget how beautiful simplicity can be. How hard it is to
achieve too…

"I fear not the man who has practiced 10000 kicks once, but I fear the man who
has practiced one kick 10000 times." - Bruce Lee
Being focused is one of the most important things you must do to succeed in life. It requires
cutting off unnecessary distractions. You need to stay away from SOS.
Shiny Object Syndrome is defined as the attraction to objects that exhibits a glassy, polished,
gleaming or otherwise shiny appearance. Something as simple as a reflection in your peripheral
vision may easily distract your attention.
The reason why many people are unable to succeed in life is that they fall for Shiny Object
Syndrome. Especially now information is overloaded, information is accessible at your
fingertips. Just ask yourself: are you adding value to others in what you’re doing? Is the end
result something that will benefit you alone?

When you add value to others, awesome things start to happen in your own world. And you
simply can’t measure the value being added back to you, it's usually multiple time larger than
the value you provide to others.
Be generous, always give more than you receive. You'll see your life will start to change =)
type in success into your mobile you'll be overwhelmed by the amount of information you'll
get. Do not get distracted, stay focused and eliminate all the unnecessary distractions.

Stop thinking about what happened in the past, or worrying about what might happen in the future.
Live in the moment and learn to savor each one. Because the past and future are something that you
have no control over. The only moment we have absolute control over is now, the present moment is
all we have.
Let me share with you an amazing fact that will help you understand this concept.
The Golden Gate Bridge is known as one of the “Seven Wonders of the Modern World.” It was built to
withstand a huge traffic load. But if you were to put the annual load of 40 million vehicles on the bridge
at the same time, it would collapse immediately. If you were to put the entire monthly load of 3.9 million
vehicles on the bridge at the same time, it would collapse as well. So what does that mean? Just like
us, the bridge was designed to handle one day at a time. If we worry too much about the past over
which we have no control over it, we would breakdown in stress and anxiety. If we worry too much
about the future which is yet to happen, we would collapse as well. Therefore it is crucial for us to be
at the present moment at all times, it will enable you to stay focused, make better decisions and learn
faster.

“No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place.” Zen proverb
Snowflake only falls in winter because snow is composed of small ice particles. In order for water to
freeze and change into ice, it must be cooled to its freezing point.
So it means that there are no "wrong" places for a snowflake to fall. In Buddhism, there is the saying
that suggests we shouldn't resist everything that's happening right now. It's better to let everything fall
in its place, and not get attached to a certain outcome. When you want the snowflake to fall at a
certain place (i.e. when you wish for a certain thing to happen), you become attached to that outcome
and it can make you sad when it doesn't fall at that place. This quote says that no snowflake ever falls
at the wrong place (i.e. "Whatever happens, is right"), meaning that you should just accept everything
for what it is.
If something happen against your will, accept it as it is. Don't form any positive or negative thought
around it. Because If you have nothing but negative thoughts

racing through your ahead, then that’s what you are going to get, so try shifting to a more positive
outlook on life. You will be surprised to see that whatever you wished for will start to manifest itself
around you positivity, rather than letting negativity use you.
There may not be an obvious reason to be positive today, but you don’t need a reason. Being
positive is a strategy, not a response. The most powerful time to be positive is precisely when
everything around you is not so positive.

Robin Sharma said your mind is like a garden. Protect your mind from negative thoughts
because your mind is a magnificent garden.
The mind is like a fertile garden and for it to flourish, you must nurture it daily. Never let weeds of
impure thought and action take the garden of your mind. Keep it healthy and strong – it will work
miracles in your life.
Self-mastery and the consistent care of one's mind, body, and soul are essential to finding one ́s
highest self and living the life of one's dreams.
“As you think, so shall you become.”
What you think about, you draw into your life. If you’re constantly being negative, you will draw
more negativity into your life.
Instead of focusing on the negative side, think about what you want to get out of life and focus
on the positive side.
This is another way of telling you that you have to set goals and focus on those goals as often as
possible. The results you will get by doing this will be dramatic.
Most people sit around whining about their miserable life, and then they wonder why nothing
good ever happens to them.

Living a successful life is all about experimenting and trying new things. The more things you try,
the closer you will get to true success.
Most people are not successful because they are afraid of making mistakes. But they do not
understand that each mistake acts as a stepping stone to success.
Like what Thomas Edison said in his quote.
“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”
The essence of this quote is 'keep trying', when you discover what doesn’t work, you simply discard it
and keep going. When you keep moving forward, you will create
your own path. It’s good to learn from others, but it’s not until you take action that you discover
what works and doesn’t.
Tadashi Yanai, the founder, and president of Fast Retailing. He is routinely ranked as one of the richest
men in Japan. He's well known for owning the most famous clothing brand Uniqlo in Japan. He speaks
softly about his passion for business but also about his firm belief that successful people will inevitably
make mistakes, and then learn from them. He won't be able to reach the top without all the mistakes
he made in the past.

“I might look successful but I've made many mistakes. People take their
failures too seriously. You have to be positive and believe you will find
success next time.” Tadashi Yanai

This is the famous quote from Bruce Lee on the Adaptability of Water.
Adapt like water: Be like water; water has no form. It is the softest element on earth, yet it
penetrates the hardest rock. It has no shape of its own, yet it can take any shape in which it is
placed. In a cup, it becomes the shape of the cup. In a vase, it takes the shape of the vase and
curls about the stems of flowers. Put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can adapt to any situation due to its nature, it will take the shape and properties of its
surroundings. This is the adaptability of water.
Water changes it shape accepts each situation it finds itself in. If it has to flow a longer distance
to get around an obstacle, it does so. Water will flow wherever it needs to flow to get to where it
wants to go. Water accepts a situation so that it can focus on getting through it. It will do what it
has to do to achieve its goal. Be water, my friend.

Successful people focus on the process, not on the result.
It's important to set a goal but we need to understand that goal is something that we aim to
achieve, the process is what leads us to the result.
When you focus on the process instead of the results, you can enjoy the present moment and
improve it at the same time. On the contrary, if you focus on the result instead of the process,
you create unnecessary stress to burden yourself. You won't be able to do your best because
every now and then you're focusing on the result, you reduce your current happiness. This
actually sabotages you from getting the result you wanted because you don't allow yourself to
be happy until you get a result.
Therefore, focus on the process, enjoy what you do and the result will follow.

IT'S CRITICAL to take a moment to STOP and CELEBRATE your SUCCESS from time to time.
It's easy to recognize areas in your life that could do with improvement, but people often overlook
the pieces of their lives they can currently be proud of. While it feels wonderfully productive to set
goals with the aim of bettering yourself, it is equally uplifting to celebrate the things in your life in
which you have already found success. Instead of getting perpetually bogged down trying to
achieve bigger and better things, it's a good idea to give your self-confidence an occasional
boost by acknowledging the things you are doing or have done well up until this moment.
Give yourself a pat on the back for each of your successes and take a moment to really
appreciate how each of your accomplishments has improved your life or someone else's. Keeping
in mind the things you have accomplished sets a positive groundwork for the creation of new
goals. Plus, if you recognize how many things you've already done well, it will give you more
confidence in your ability.

The practice of self-reflection is like aligning yourself with truth.
It's an opportunity for you to understand yourself better. This is very important for anyone
who wants to improve themselves, whenever we do something, there's no way we can tell if
we've done it right unless we practice self-reflection. Self-reflection offers a different
viewpoint, for example, a close encounter might help us realize what really matters to us
and what isn’t worth the stress. Similarly, self-reflection can help us see where we may be
wasting time or opportunities and how we can improve on that. This actually helps you to
realign yourself to greater success.

Be a life-long learner. The most successful people are the ones who take an interest in life and
never let go of the “beginner’s mind”. They discover learning opportunities and continue to grow,
both personally and professionally.
Success isn’t an entitlement. It cannot be taken for granted. Successful people cannot afford to
be complacent because good times don't last forever, especially in a rapidly changing world.
That’s why complacency is dangerous. People who are complacent with their achievements fail to
catch up with the rest of the world and are left behind.

Motivational speaker Jim Rohn said that we are the average of the five people we spend the most
time with. We are heavily influenced by our network. We tend to subconsciously calibrate
ourselves to the energy of those who we are around – regardless of whether they are a positive
person or not. Secondly, it's the standards that we hold for ourselves, such as determination,
integrity, and self-management.
When I did a self-reflection in my life over the past few years, I could see that I grew as my circle
of friends grew. If there was a negative influence in the group, it was the rest of us who were
held captive. That is until one of us drew the line and distanced ourselves from their influence.
When we surround ourselves with peers and mentors, we were constantly challenged and
inspired to grow and learn. Who are the people you spend time with? It really doesn’t matter
how smart you are, or how talented. All that counts, if you want to be successful, surround
yourself with people who are more successful than you.

When you are yourself, and that includes the weird things about you, you will find that the most
amazing and interesting people start showing up in your life.
“Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful
personality and duplicate it.” Bruce Lee
I believe that being the real you will work better. Because there the genuine you are shining
through. You will attract the right people in your life. It helps you a lot with personal branding, you
don't need to fake yourself just to fit in.
Successful people always stay true to who they are because you'll have your own voice, you'll
stand out in a crowd that tries their best just to fit in. People can feel your sincerity and from there
it's easier for you to build trust with them, when people trust you they'll do business with you. I bet
you wouldn't wanna hang out with a hypocrite who always lies just to make people happy. It's
better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.

“Real living is living for others.”
It wasn’t until I found my passion and started contributing to the world with my writing that
I started feeling fulfilled.
We all have unique gifts that we can use to make the world a better place. These are
usually talents and skills you have that you are very good at and what you like to do.
You are here to make a difference with the talents you have. The reward is bigger when
you add significance to others. Pursuing success is rewarding, but the reward gets even
bigger when we help others become successful. It’s a law of the universe.
Ask yourself: are you adding value to others in what you’re doing? Is the end result in
something that will benefit you alone?

When you add value to others, awesome things start to happen in your own world. And you
simply can’t measure the value being added back to you, it's usually multiple times larger
than the value you provide to others.
Be generous, always give more than you receive. You'll see your life will start to change =)

Rule # 33
Let me ask you, will successful people feel unhappy even though they have pretty much
everything in life?

Well, you'll be surprised that the answer is a resounding “yes”.
My own experience kept me thinking to myself why I'm not as successful as I wanna be?
At that point in time was faced with many challenges in my business so I really wasn't excited
about major accomplishments I was making like getting my book reviewed by Toys R' Us or being
called upon major support groups to be a speaker. What a fool I was!

But like I shared in rule no #22 no snowflake ever falls in the wrong place. I learned a very
important lesson in life: you need to be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more.
I understand it now, the reason why people aren't happy with their life is the lack of gratitude. No
matter how successful you become, you won't be happy if you don't count your blessings.
Gratitude makes us happier. That's what many spiritual traditions maintain. Now scientific
research backs such claims. And that's what we can easily observe in our own lives and that
of others.

If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
-- Oprah Winfrey
