Encouragement
———————-

The fastest way to bring more and more great encouragers and
life-enlargers into your life is to FIRST encourage someone else.

Few ideas:

Smile at someone.

Tell someone “You’re proud of them.”

Say, “I love you.”

Say, “I believe in you.”

Say, “I appreciate you.”

Lose yourself in other people and watch people enter your life and
push you forward.

You in?

If you’ll COMMIT to encouraging at least ONE person in the next 24
hours, leave your comment below.

When we look for GOOD in others, we always find it.

When this becomes a HABIT in life, our happiness and success soars.

Be sincere. Be a life-enlarger. Bring more LOVERAGE into your life.

My friend, I am so EXCITED for you. Great opportunities and people
are about to enter your life in a meaningful way. Believe it.

If you’re in, let us know in the comments below.

The thousands of people reading this right now believe in YOU.

They do. They see you as hopeful, optimistic, always EXPECTING the
best.

Change lives to change your own life.

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael

P.S. Be a model of great living for generations in your family that
you’ll never meet.

Ideas almost destroyed me. They did.

“Mike, what are you talking about, I thought ideas are
always good?”

Amigo, interesting question.

Let’s keep going. Follow me here.

I used to think ideas were the greatest thing in the world.

Back when I first started my entrepreneurial journey, I
would have a new idea on a Monday, tell a few people.

Thursday, another idea would come to me.

A week later I came up with the ‘greatest idea ever’ in the
shower and told a few more people.

And on and on and on.

Ideas almost destroyed me.

“Mike, why?”

Another good question amigo.

Ideas were coming to me in an avalanche that I became the
most scattered person on the planet.

Completely scattered.

I was caught in the claws of what I call the ‘Idea
Avalanche’.

The ‘Idea Avalanche’ is the entrepreneur’s curse.

You have so many ideas and then you look back years later
and you’ve accomplished next to nothing.

What a waste. I wasted so much time.

Onward.

Ideas are neutral. They can be good or bad.

What raised me from failure to success wasn’t tons of
ideas, it was discovering how to focus and concentrate.

This wasn’t easy for me.

I see so many people getting beat up from a lack of focus.

They follow the ‘latest, greatest, gimmick’ and their
progress is in cement. It doesn’t move.

You, me, us, we’re better then that. Much better.

Find your focus. Take one step at a time. Just one.

You can do it. You know you can.

Stop being busy. Start being productive. You can do it.

The cure for the idea avalanche is to make a CONSCIOUS
attempt to bring 1% more focus and concentration into your
life daily.

My friend, I see you becoming a individual with laser like
focus.

I see you becoming an individual who can concentrate
incredibly.

Start now.

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael

One of the greatest deterrents to living the confident and
enjoyable life is self centeredness and self absorption.

I’ve felt the effects on this very limited mindset and it’s no
fun at all. None.

When we close down around our SELVES we weaken the power of our
personality, we become more introverted, and we reduce our
dynamism.

We become the greatest thief of our own potential.

This is an INJUSTICE that we must become aware of and stop.

“Mike, how do we do this to ourselves?”

Great question amigo.

I don’t have all the answers, far from it, though let me share
with you this one thing.

Here’s what sometimes happens.

1) Person gets beat up a bit in their past

2) Fear and the need to protect oneself and survive sets in

3) An inward self focus is developed to protect oneself

I want to share with you 2 great quotes from Dr. Normal Vincent
Peale’s classic book ‘Stay Alive All Your Life’.

“One way to have that quality of life (My comments, great,
joyful, and enthusiastic life) is to get outside yourself.
People who live within themselves lose that vital something
which stimulates verve and excitement. As a matter of fact, many
are actually ill as a result of nothing but self centeredness.
When you lose yourself, letting your personality flow outward,
your life takes on creative joy and even health. Half dead,
listless, desultory people everywhere could find the vital life
they really want by the very simple expedient of practicing self
forgetfulness.”

Few pages later.

“Then, when your interest and appreciation are widened to
include the whole great world, life becomes even more
fascinating. Interest, projected outside yourself, has the power
to force even hardship, suffering, and pain into the background.
The more vital your interest, in others and in the world, the
more certainly you can live triumphantly over your own
difficulties.

Here’s one more.

“In exact proportion as you give joy you will receive joy. It is
a law of exact reciprocity. Joy increases as you give it, and
diminishes as you try to keep it for yourself. Actually, unless
you give it you will ultimately lose it. In giving it you will
accumulate a deposit of joy greater than you ever believed possible.”

Powerful.

Lose yourself to find yourself.

Be someone for somebody.

When we’re preoccupied with SELF, fear, doubt, and worry usually
aren’t far behind it.

Suggestion, read Dr. Peale’s powerful words more than once.

Release the power in your personality.

Find greater meaning in your life.

My friend, YOU, YOU, are ready to live the masterful and
confident life.

Add 1% more of the best -you- into your life today. Just 1%.

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael
