How Your Stories Can Keep You From Getting Great Results

The only reason we don't get what we want in life is because of the story we keep repeating to ourselves about the reason we don't have it.
Every time we stop believing the story and make a decision, we
become stronger.
A long time ago, I remember this business idea I had. I kept nurturing it in my mind and didn't bother sharing it with anyone for fear of idea larceny.
Every day, I'd find a reason not to launch out with the idea, until one day I had ENOUGH and told myself that I was just a crackpot.

It created a breakthrough and the following week, I invited a team of partners. We scrutinized the idea and set it in motion.
Take inventory of your own stories.
Any stories that don't serve you should be killed without hesitation.
A story is simply an excuse or something you repeat to yourself all the time about why you're not producing a certain result.

We all have stories. The key is to be aware of them and to not believe them.
Choose the winner's story. Choose the bounce-back story. Choose the self-made man/woman story.

Think of your life as a Nollywood or even a Hollywood movie script. You're the one writing the script.
You choose the character and the time of the story you want to write.
Will that be a drama or an epic adventure?
Your choice.
Have an amazing day!

KILLER OPPORTUNITY OF THE CENTURY Imagine it's 1976 and you're outside, going for a walk in your neighbourhood. As you walk, you pass the neighbour's house whose garage is open... Inside, they're tinkering with computers - and you greet them... "Hey Steve!" -  you say... and behind them is a handwritten sign that reads "Apple Computers"... Knowing what you do now, would you walk past them - or instead try to get involved with their company? Cryptocurrency is a similar story. Once "just a fad" - the cryptocurrency industry currently sits at a market cap of over 1 trillion dollars! ...and today, over 300 million people own crypto. Over the next few years, I'd guess that billions will own crypto - and it is still very much in its infancy. So, after hearing that story about Apple, do you... A) Walk past this enormous opportunity (and perhaps regret it later)... OR... B) Get involved now - before it's too late...? Listen... if you don...

The 10 Commandments Of A Great Marriage

One of the best ways to experience marital bliss is to clone successful marriages. In my many years of analyzing and gathering information about marriage and love relationships, I've noticed the consistent patterns that happy and successful marriage partners follow. They engage in weighty efforts to build strong bonds, take responsibility for bringing out the best in each other, and are quick to patch the holes in their relationship . These consistent patterns revolve around the fundamental principles that I call the 10 commandments of a great marriage. 1. YOU SHALL FORGIVE EACH OTHER'S FAULT AND LEARN TO SAY SORRY If there's anything you must learn early about relationship and marriage, it is to understand that love thrives on forgiveness. It's paramount to constantly forgive your spouse for their eccentricities and annoying habits, and also forgive yourself for any mistakes you make if you truly want to be happy in your marriage. The reaso...
