How is your 4-week Fitness Challenge going so far? Need a little extra push? Here it comes!
All successful people I admire in this world seem to have it all figured out, at times I wondered if only some people had it in them, perhaps only a few of us had that special gene that made miracles happen? Now I know that that’s a pile of crap! Although we were all born with slightly different genes and programming, we all have the capability of ingraining new empowering beliefs in our subconscious minds. How? By believing, by repeating a certain thought, behavior, by taking action, again and again. This is called epigenetics (over/above your genes): the POWER YOU HAVE to change your genes, to transform your life, to make miracles happen. When I listen to the advice that inspiring people leading amazing lives give, it all comes down to more or less the same thing… so listen up & start building your castle, your dreams!
Today, I’ll be sharing the “6 Rules of Life” by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
1. Trust Yourself
Ask yourself who do you want to be? Not what your parents want you to be, not what you think you should be, but who you truly want to be, what is your dream, what kind of life do you want to create for yourself? The TRUTH is that you can achieve anything you desire.
2. Break the Rules
Ok don’t go out there breaking the law, but remember that this is your time on earth and that everything you put your mind up to can manifest itself. “It is impossible to be a true original if you’re too well-behaved. You have to think outside the box”. What rules are you playing by? What beliefs do you have about what you should or should not do; beliefs that could be holding you back from being your best you?
Are you resisting starting a business because you think it wouldn’t be financially stable? Not following your gut on something because it seems ‘wrong’ or uncertain? How will you know unless you try? We are all programmed to “fit in” and seek others approval, but is that really working out for you? I’m guessing not, discover what does and don’t be afraid to look weird, different or marginal.
3. Don’t Be Afraid To Fail
If you are afraid, you will never try. If you never try you won’t ever succeed. Every failure just brings you one step closer to success anyway! And remember that even most successful people feel the fear at times, but the difference is that they DO IT ANYWAY!
4. Ignore (don’t listen to) the Naysayers
Do not take No for an answer. Don’t pay attention to naysayer. People will say it can’t be done, people will give 100 reason why this cannot be done. Prove them wrong!
5. Work Your Butt Off
“None of my rules of success will work unless you do”. You never want to fail because you did not work hard enough and don’t leave any stone unturned. There is no escape to hard work. I would also add that working hard doing what you love should simply be called playing hard, or living fully! Don’t let this rule scare you off, if you are following your genuine dreams, working hard to reach your goals will make you feel ALIVE!
6. ALWAYS Give Back
Whatever path that you take in your lives, you must always find time to give something back, something back to your community, give something back to your state or to your country.
