Beyond Boundaries

Only execution matters

What’s one small improvement you can make in your life?

Change your life. Learn to make decisions with speed. It is easy to spend time learning and planning but that doesn’t matter without application. Learn a principle then immediately find a way to execute on it. Don’t spend all your time deliberating. Make a hard and fast decision to take what you learned and apply it. Even something small like what to eat can be a great way to improve your decision making skills. Please, don’t live your life in indecision.

Love the process

I spend so much time grinding and hoping I get to a certain place so that I can be happy. I am realizing that, if you don’t love the process of achieving your goals and becoming that kind of person, you wont truly enjoy the result. At least, not for long. So here is my challenge to you: Do something where you love the process more than the end result. Trust me, live will be much more fulfilling.

Freedom

What does freedom mean to you?

Being able to do what I want, with who I want, when I want. Short & sweet. The end.

How is this a constructive question?

What public figure do you disagree with the most?

Why are we starting with disagree? This is immediately a negative question. I support certain public figures more than others but starting with a negatively phrased question is not constructive. More positivity. What public figure do you agree with the most and what values do they embody that you agree with? Not perfect, but a better question.

Keep Going!

Here’s to all the people who didn’t believe in you. Here’s to all the times you chose to work on yourself and stay disciplined instead of giving in to temptation. Here’s to all the times you refused to give up and stay away from negative influences. Even if you still seem so far away from your goals, embrace the journey and keep going 💪🏼

Life is good

How do you unwind after a demanding day?

Meditation, music, good food, and a good book. Here is probably the best one I know about being present

Productivity

When do you feel most productive?

Simply, serve, and execute. It really is that simple.

Knowledge executed is power

Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently?

Change comes from decisions and execution, not simply knowledge. Really, there are times in almost every day where I can think of action I feel like I should have taken. A phone call on lunch, a short walk outside, or some risk I should have taken. The biggest thing I wish I would have started sooner was to focus on working on myself. Particularly reading, serving, and networking. I truly believe those three things will change anyones life for the better. I started seeking networking opportunities in my city, focusing on the value I was providing, and picking up specific books, particularly Mans Search for Meaning and How to Win Friends and Influence People (links below if interested). Finding the right people in my life combined with developing skills to serve them has proved to be the greatest action I have taken. Thank you for taking the time to read this and invest in yourself.

Happiness

What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?

View all responses

While I think meaning and purpose are more important for a man than happiness, I think those two things create, in some way, happiness. I think you should do something you love to do, be with people you love, and constantly strive to grow i some way each day. Happiness, to me, is about the little things. I good cup of coffee, a walk in nature, a good book, or a good meal. In the end though, happiness is largely a mindset which can be created in an instant if you choose to.

Learning from the Best

Who was your most influential teacher? Why?

Jesus for sure as a good way to live life. Whatever one may believe, the Bible is a great source of teachings and wisdom about life. Tony Robbins for the self development principles I continue to use. Things like nac and the power of decisions. As I like to keep things simple, those are my primary two people. On another note, the times I tried and failed probably taught me more than anything else.
