The Importance of Choosing Your Friends

Hi everyone.

It's been a long time since I have written a post. Now I have had a lot going on but recently I went to the Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump seminar in the city at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre. Now while I was there I really had a change in perception because I have always believed in certain things like that thinking positive is logical and while thinking negative is illogical but it wasn't until I heard that Tony Robbins that is was good to hear someone else who is a very accomplished individual say those words.

Now the while it is hard to stay positive it is even harder to stay positive especially when the people around you such as your friends as family try to bring you down. Now unfortunately for you can't choose your family but you can choose your friends.

Now at the seminar on the second day which was a 3 day seminar, Kim Kiyosaki got up to speak and she said something very interesting. Your need to make sure that your friends are very supportive of what you do. She has her own group of friends that are all entrepreneurial women and they all support each other and this is very important because staying positive is a lot easier when you have the support of individual than when all the people around you are negative individuals it's hard to stay positive.

Now while I am not saying you should abandon your old friends(well the negative ones) but if your around a group of negative people it might be good to find another group of friends that are more positive about what you do but sometimes negative people are just very insecure about themselves and they will possibly use the excuse of mentoring or possibly the excuse that they are just realists but keep in mind how can anyone know what your truly capable of. So many people in history have risen to greatness when they have been said that they will never amount to nothing listen Albert Einstein who's elementary teacher told them just that.

People who think they know everything and they know as to what extent your capable of doing something are arrogant and stupid as what sort of a moron would profess to know just what a person can do and how the future would unfold.

Now while I am not saying you should believe delusional things like you can fly and not listen to anyone who says otherwise(unless your possibly a mad scientist at which point you probably won't listen anyway) but what I am saying is that people who think being negative is logical are just plain dumb because what is the point of focusing on what you can't do or the negative when you get nothing from it. In life staying positive means forward motion and constantly improving yourself while being negative means living in fear and worrying about what could go wrong and doing nothing so you tell me which one makes more sense.

Let me reiterate this one to make it quite clear. If you think being negative is a sign of intelligence or logical then you are a dumbass. How can you possibly win in anything whether it is a chess game, romance, sport, finance or anything else if you believe your already going to lose before you start. Positive thinking is an intelligent and logical response to problem solving in anything it just makes no sense to be negative now while you should always be aware of risks well they can managed.

So just one more time if you think being negative is intelligent then your a dumbass. A stupid idiotic imbecilic dumbass. And by the way if you think that I am wrong then you should listen to Tony Robbins because he himself said that being negative is being stupid so if you disagree with me then your a dumbass.

Remember that "if it will be, then it is up to me".

By the way I just recently picked up my copy of The Midas Touch by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki and for $30 bucks it is an awesome read even if your not a entrepreneur as it's lessons on going what you want after in life are very important.

Watch out for fake christians and their stupid judgements?

OK, now while this may seem like a weird post there is a specific reason I am writing it so bear with me. I think i need to first explain what I mean. A fake christian is a person whom pretends to be righteous and acts as if they are decent people but whose actions speak in far contrast to their "supposed" religious beliefs.

These are christians who are christians in status only and what I mean is that they don't care whether or not they follow their religious dictates or not but just want to be perceived as being christians now normally I don't really care what people do with their own time and their is a parable in the bible which states "Judge not less thee be judged" which means is that if your a real christian your not meant to judge others so you shouldn't be judging others for making choices that are contrary to what you like it simply put isn't your place.

I believe in a live and let live philosophy and I believe if the world adopted this approach to life the world would be a much better place so for those of you supposed christians who want to judge people on the basis of race, creed or religion let me remind you that as Jesus said when the village wanted to stone the prostitute "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" unless you are completely free of sin (and you aren't) you shouldn't force others to adopt your methodologies or ideas.

Maybe you fake christians might want to stop focusing on others and instead focus on yourselves and what service you can provide to mankind and the lord by incorporating charitable works into your life and truly living your live for God instead of focusing on others so you can justify your fake christian ways of living your life's which is basically just doing whatever you want to do with your lives and then pretending that your christian cause faith just doesn't work that way.

If your christian you should act like one not do horrible things yourselves and then judge other for doing those same horrible things. That makes you hypocrites not righteous. Either be the real deal christians who truly live for God or buzz off with your stupid views about how a christian should live when your clearly not living those lives either.

Why being good is hard but worth it.

Ok In this world I have always been something of an enigma to everyone else but that's because I believe I have a unique outlook on life.

In this world you are taught to follow these rules of conduct in everything that you do from business to romance to everything else really but it's funny and can be disillusioning to see people get ahead by doing the wrong thing and nasty things but that doesn't mean u have become a nasty person get ahead but it does mean that u must be willing to break to the rules and stand against the grain and normal stand conventions if you want to live strong, free and righteous life.

See the funny thing about society currently is that while there is a façade of civility deep down underneath it all the system is set up so that nasty people can win now when I mean system I mean the rules of society so in order to be nice and win you have to break the rules which takes strength and determination to do but once you set yourself free you will see what I am talking about.

So how do you set yourself free? Well I can't really give you specific advice but I can give you some guidelines and while yes some of these will sound sappy but you know what it doesn't matter.

1. Always follow your heart

Never try to change yourself for anyone else or for another group, don't do anything you don't want to do and never do anything because you feel you are forced to because that's what your social circle wants. This is one of the ways of breaking the rules, rules that bind your mind and your potential from being who your meant to be.

If your friends don't accept you for who you are then they really aren't your friends and it's time to go get new ones and trust me you will find them.

2. Don't be afraid to be a leader

Never be afraid to move your life or yourself in another direction. If you know what you want to do then go do it. Don't listen to people who tell you that you aren't good enough to achieve your dreams or your not good enough to date that girl.

You have a right to enjoy everything that life has to offer and to shape it to be what and nobody has the right to dictate to you who you should date and what you should do with your life and how you should dress. Being a leader means being able to venture forth into new things that others don't have the courage to and yes you have it in your capacity to be a leader.

3. Don't take crap from people

This is a very important point. Now while being nice is a good thing(well no it's great) you must learn not to be a pushover in life. If you want to be truly happy you need to feel strong and powerful in your life(don't get a big head though) and you can't be free and happy if people are pushing you around so my advice is to go take some martial arts if your a timid person (karate is really good) so you can develop that fighting spirit that you will need to carry you through the trials and tribulations that is life.

4. Stay healthy and strong

This is a very important point because it's hard to stay positive when you feel like crap. Now while I am not going to try and push on you any diet or particular training method cause everyone is different it is very important that you treat you body like a temple so it will carry you through the hard times. To this end a good amount of proper exercise and drinking enough water and eating enough fruits and vegetables is essential to staying healthy and providing your body with everything that it needs and pointing on muscle is never a bad thing.

5. Study books on strategy

Now while this might be a weird point to come across the study of strategy is an essential component to living a free life because you need to be able to think of plans to achieve your life objectives so it is imperative that you learn how to think strategically now while there are lots of books on the subject there are two main ones that I reread and are known and respected world wide. These are the art of war and the book of five rings.

Now while the art of war is a book on military warfare it's teaching are just as relevant to everything else in life and that is the reason it is studied by people from all walks of life including business people.

Now unless you have studied asian culture before it might seem very different for you but rest assured that this simple, short and easy to read book has golden principles in it that you will use well throughout your whole life so my advice is to read it




Now while I love anything to do with samurai's and ninjas there is a particular reason that not only I like but that is a very renowned book read by even non martial artists. That is because of the scientific that that it look at swordsmanship but that also applies to life.

There is one section that I really like that is in the Earth Scroll(A section in the book) that is called "Likening the Science of Martial Art to Carpentry" and the way of thinking presented should be how you apply yourself to the things you want to achieve in your life so I can't stress enough how this little cheap book is so useful.

Anyway to conclude I would just like to say that it is possible to still win in life and be nice you just have to be smart about it so never give up and always don't take crap from no one unless it's suits your purposes of course.

An interesting video on how the education system makes us think like sheep on a production line to the slaughter

Hi everyone,

Now while this isn't really relevant to self-help or to the metal stuff it is something I found while perusing the web and checking out the website http://www.education4life.com.au/ which is an education advocacy group that basically promote further education for people and help with funding and that sort of thing so if your looking to further your education you should check them out.

Any ways this video actually reflects a lot of my views and also pointed out something about the education system is designed to mass produce mindless drones instead of allowing people to develop creativity, a positive attitude and free thought. Anyways watch this vid cause it's revolutionary:

Why your health can affect how you think.

Most people seem to think that there is a separation(at least i am assuming) between physical health and mental health but the two are inextricably linked together more closely than you could imagine. If your a person who is naturally anxious and restless then weight training or martial arts or even boxing could be the best thing for you as they could be an outlet for your anxiety and tire you out so that you don't feel restless and so you can then then think clearly.

Even your diet can affect your mental attitude as eatings lots of junk food and not getting enough vegetables and drinking enough water can because if your body is running of a crappy fuel source and then so is your mind and your certainly not gonna feel positive if you feel rundown all the time now are you?

A decent diet and exercise are essential components to maintaining that positive outlook required to keep on pushing on forward in the game that is called life and going after your dreams. You need to right fuel to cross that bridge so I would keep an eye on what fuel you put into your own stomach.

Why the music you listen to can have an effect on your mental state.

Now while I am not going to get into conspiracy theories about this stuff (like some people do and some political parties as well) I myself have found that the music I listen to actually affects the way I look at the world around me.

Remember that music affects us psychologically and the type of music that you listen to can actually affect how you fill and in turn how you perceive the world around you which in turn can make you into a pessimist or an optimist. Now while I like most of these genre's of music myself it's wise to try to stay away from them and substitute them for other types of music:

1. Metal and Heavy Metal (The Satanic stuff which you should substitute with Epic and Power Metal)
2. Gangsta Rap (Substitute with Hip Hop)
3. Alternative (Well not all alternative but just the negative stuff)

Now while I myself occasionally listen to this music I have found that it causes me to feel bad now while this may not be the case for everyone you should be honest with yourself about this and even you may love some of this type of music just remember that if you listen to music that talks about shooting people and taking drugs your probably not going to have a very positive outlook on the world around you now are you.

Not saying to ban the stuff all together but just don't get to into it if you know what I mean.

Do you know what your worth in this world?

The answer to the above question is everything. You are as great or mundane as you choose to be in this world. If you want a better life but don't have one then that's because you haven't done anything to get it. But I am going off on a tangent here so let me return to the main topic.

A lot of people with confidence issues or individuals that are very negative are often like that because they have very little self worth. They don't truly understand what they are worth. True confidence comes from knowing what you are worth in this world and what you have to offer and what everyone should realise is that they are all worth something in this world even the shy ones.

So because of this you should never let anyone make you feel like you don't deserve anything or that you aren't good enough when compared to anyone else. Even if the people around you don't tell you what your worth or even if they put you down you should always remember that you are stronger and better than what everyone else says. I you think like a champion then you will become a champion. It all begins with your mindset. If you think negative you will always have only see the bad things in life and if you think positive you will be able to see the possibilities and it's better to look at what you can do with this world than what you can't.

You are worth whatever you think your worth so if you want to make the people around you see what your worth you first need to make yourself see that your worth something.

What to do if you have so much anger at the world and your life.

Hi everyone,

In my recent travels I have come across a lot of people that have hangups about life but this message isn't for those people. This message is for people who currently have so much anger and disdain at the world that they don't know if they won't to be a part of it anymore.

I myself used to be in this particular category because I myself lived like a hermit for such a long period of time due to certain reasons that when i snapped out of what I was going through which was around the age of 24 I felt like my life had flashed before my eyes and that the situation was now hopeless that I had already missed on too much of life to carry on. Now as you can probably tell this feel me with quite a bit of rage which is probably the kind of restrained anger of titanic proportions that's just waiting to explode.

Now there are numerous ways of dealing with this the first is obviously to go get psychological help and/or possibly talk to a friend and if that's the path for you then take it but for some that have so much pride that they would never ask for help I offer you an alternative path.

That anger may always be apart of you but it doesn't mean that you have to let it control you. I say to you focus on remaking you life on whatever you want to be. Learn to channel that anger productively like for example by going to gym and lifting the heaviest weights you lift so you get super strong or take up martial arts (I do both) like karate or kempo so that you learn to channel but also control that anger so can you can direct it properly.

Not only that I want you to do all the things that you have ever wanted to do in your life like if you wanna play rugby then go do it and start training, ever wanted to be a musician, then buy an instrument and start playing. Do the things you want to do in your life and channel that passion into those and if you keep doing this and finding something to enjoy your life you will shed your anger and your whole outlook will change.

Now I am not saying the anger will ever leave you but you can use it instead of letting it lose you. If you want to learn how to control the world around you and shape your life to be whatever you want it to be you must first learn to control yourself.

Remember that if you want to be happy and you do it's better to take positive steps forward than to stay where you are.

Pushing Past Your Own Limits

Hi everyone.

It's funny but I have watched people and people often wonder why other people seem to get ahead of them in life, love and numerous other things. I myself used to blame everybody around me for the predicaments that I was I when the truth of the matter is that I was responsible for it. Now while it may be true that we may not create the problems(or perceived problems) around us, how we handle those problems definitely affects their outcome.

Often people do nothing because they don't think anything can be done or they may think that there is nothing they can do or that it isn't their responsibility to do something. I believe that in this world we are all responsible for our lot in life and even though there may be events that aren't your responsibility if you treat it like they are then you will be motivated to fix it as opposed to if you act like it's not your fault then you won't be motivated to do anything.

If you want to be able to push past your own limits then you need to accept the fact that your responsible for your life and that your fate is in your hands and that if your life sucks then it's your fault so if you want a better one then you should be doing something to get it. Join a gym, train hard, kick ass in your job and be all you can be.

Cheers,
Gman

The Strong and the Weak

I recently remembered an interesting quote whose source I won't reveal because it's too comedic but whose essence is just a true in the real world is the following:

"There a two types of people in the world. There are the strong and the weak. The strong cry against fate while the weak succumb to it."

What this basically means is that the strong don't believe in fate. They don't give in to despair, they don't care about what rules the world imposes on them(this don't mean you should sacrifice your integrity), they laugh in the faces of the nay sayers and threaten to ram their words down their throats. I like to think I am the strong.

Then there's everyone else and they are the weak(also called the sheep). They accept their lot in life. They believe in silly ideas like "men are always pigs", "nice guys finish last" and a whole bunch of other silly ideas. These people almost always think their realists but the truth is if you think about it these people bow down to the world's notions and how can anyone who submits to the will of others that are unreasonable ever truly be the strong.

Life is about exploding towards your goals whatever they may be with faith and fire like a cannonball exploding through a castle wall. Don't let the nay sayers keep you down and go after what you want but just don't sacrifice your integrity to do it. The ultimate test is to get what you want without giving in to temptation.

So when all is said and done which are you? The strong or the weak.

For those of you who feel you have something to prove

In this world. There are sometimes people who feel inadequate for whatever reason and people deal with that inadequacy in many different ways. Some people don't talk about it. some people don't think about but then there's the others who instead try to prove that they are something that they're not to everyone else around them.

The link to this pdf is for the last group. You have nothing to prove to anyone in the world but to yourself. Proving_Yourself_PDF

This is like the most inspirational speach ever. Arrrgggggghhhhhhh!!

Hi everyone. This little beauty is so inspiring it makes me want to use it for rugby. If this speech doesn't inspire you then nothing will.

People need to harden the F up!

I just want to begin by saying that there are so many wimps in this world (yes you to emo's). In Australia I come across lots of people who are depressed about their lots in life but seriously people living in Australia are blessed because they don't live in a war torn country so unless you live in a war torn country you shouldn't be complaining. If your unhappy with your lives you should do something about it. People need to realise that we are all responsible for own lot in our lives because while yes bad things happen the question what are you doing about it to change it.

Now I'm not talking about people who have serious health condition because obviously that's not people's fault (well not mostly anyway) but apart from the above exception if a guy like Nick Vujicic can find a reason to push forward (He's bloody awesome and a crusader to) then everyone else has no excuse(check the vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8ZuKF3dxCY).

Peace people and stop hating and stop being depressed and start living people.
