How asking for help saved my life and built my business

How do you ask for help? Who helps you on a day to day basis? I was miserable when I tried to do everything by myself. When I first started my business, I never asked for help because I didn't want to accept my limitations. I thought I could do everything better than other people and because of this I became arrogant. Asking for help will make you a better, more humble person, and help you to admit your place in the universe. Ever since I started asking for help on a daily basis it has allowed me to be more productive as far as my work and appreciate the people who help me achieve my goals. I pray today to be of the greatest service to you so that when you need help you can count on me to be there and have already created something that was helpful. I hope you have a wonderful day!

What I learned about breathing in the miracle of mindfulness by Thich Nhat Hanh

Have you ever had that fear where you were afraid you would never forget that you were breathing? I had this fear pretty bad at times when I was younger. The Miracle of Mindfulness, by Thich Nhat Hanh, helped me to know and take control of my breath. I take each breath like it is a great gift of life, and being mindful begins with taking control of your breath. If you are ever stressed or in danger of having a panic attack, you will notice that your breathing patterns will change or even stop. Controlling my breath helps me be more mindful of the current moment, and forget about the stresses of the past and future. I want to thank you for taking the time to listen to this, and I hope you will share what helps you live in the moment!

How I get through not liking how I feel and how I stopped trying to change it

What do you do to get through challenging times in your life? When I was younger, I would often try to change the way I felt. For example, I would either act out, go to the gym and work out extra hard or turn to alcohol. Responding this way is often self-destructive, only results in short term relief and doesn't actually solve the problem at hand. Today, when I encounter challenges, I simply let them be. I don't change everything else in my life and I don't try and change how I feel. Embracing the pain of a challenging situation can be difficult, but I know that if I continue to work hard, be the best person I can be and help others, I will ultimately be rewarded. I pray that I can be a good person of service who accepts that I sometimes I won't feel good and that's okay. Thank you for watching this video and I am thankful for the time you spend with me, and as always I appreciate your feedback!

How I maintain a healthy weight and stopped overeating

Have you or someone you care about had a problem maintaining a healthy weight? Have you struggled to maintain a healthy figure or just a healthy lifestyle? Myself and many other Americans have the luxury of very low cost food, and I know I have had problems in the past controlling how much I ate. The number one thing I do to maintain a healthy weight is to be aware of what I'm eating from a calorie standpoint. I use the health app on my iPhone to keep track of my calories each day. If I have enough time each day to spend time playing a game on my phone, I figure I can take the time to track my calories. In the past I have tried multiple diets and extreme workouts to help me lose weight, but I have found that controlling what you put into your body is the easiest way to maintain a healthy weight. I want to thank you for taking the time to watch this, and I hope you will share tips on what you do to maintain a healthy lifestyle!

How I can learn like a genius

Do you have something in your life you are trying to get better at? Do you have an area you would like to improve upon? As simple as it sounds, I have found that the easiest way to get better at something is by taking the time to practice it everyday. When I first started filming videos, I started with a camcorder and recorded them in front of a shower curtain. Now I use an iMac with studio lighting and a backdrop! I have found that classroom learning is very restrictive as far as what benefit I get out of it. If you want to learn something like a foreign language, find a fun creative way to use it each day. I am grateful to be able to teach others online because I didn't get much benefit from serving clients. If you want to try and learn something new, first ask yourself if you are doing it as a means to an end. You are more likely to be successful if you enjoy what you are doing! I want to thank everyone for taking the time to watch this video, and I hope you will share what helps you learn!

How do I know what the right decision to make today is

How do you appreciate the moment, and make the right decisions? In the past, I would make decisions based on whether or not I thought I would have fun. For example, yesterday my wife and her family invited me to a baseball game. I do not particularly care for baseball, and at times I think it can be boring. In the past, I may have declined the invitation and played video games at home, or gone to the game with the idea that the person had to do what I wanted next time. Now when I make decisions each day I choose to do things based on if it is my last day in my body. When I look at things in this context, it is easy to enjoy everything I do in the moment. Thank you for watching this video, and I hope you will share what helps you make the right decisions!

How do I accept my limitations with how many people I can be friends with

How do you accept your limitations? For most of my life I had a hard time accepting my limitations. This led to me taking on more than I could handle in both my life and business. When I first started my business I took on as many clients as possible. It got to a point where I could barely convert new clients, and many of my existing client were not satisfied with the quality of my work. How many times have you done something like this in your personal life? You can only juggle so many things at once, and sometimes we take on more than we can handle. The more you try and do, the lower quality of work you will do across everything. However, not having enough responsibility can also be negative. Often when we don't have enough to do we will overly fixate on things. When I first started working online I wasn't a part of very many communities, and this led to me over-fixating on problems and the relationships I did have. I am thankful for the people I have the opportunity to work with online, and for having a supportive family who helps me every step of the way!

People have a right to be wrong and why this helps me

How do you feel when someone tells you that you are wrong? I know I hate when people try and tell me I am wrong, because what do they know? I am here today because many people in my life have let me be wrong. In that past I have struggled to follow this idea of letting others be wrong. This was especially true when I was working as a police officer. I loved enforcing the law, but the more I learned about the system, the more I learned how subjective it could be. Often times, people would get away with certain crimes because they knew someone or their circumstances were slightly different. I pray that I can let other people be wrong because people have the right to be wrong. Thank you for taking the time to watch this video, and I hope you will share your thoughts!

Thank you for a year of peace and sobriety in my life

Have you struggled with a problem that seemed impossible to overcome? Today, I am thankful for being sober for a whole year. For years prior I tried to quit drinking, and was never successful. Only when I asked for help was I able to finally quit drinking. After embracing spirituality in my life and attending AA meetings, I came to the realization that alcohol wasn't the problem. The real problem was my own selfishness and a lack of service to others. Now, instead of focusing on my own deficiencies and perceived problems, I take the time each day to serve others who are less fortunate than me.

Understanding and dealing with people that are hot and cold

How do you deal with people that are hot and cold? How many people do you know that seem to be completely different when they are in an emotional or aroused state of mind? A good example of this concept is students in a classroom setting versus students at a party. For example, students would be cold in a classroom setting. If you asked a student if they would binge drink at party they would most likely say, "No, I would never do that." However, if you put that same person in a heightened state of arousal, they may act differently. I experienced this first hand with gambling. It was easy to avoid gambling in a cold state of mind, but when I was drinking or having a good time with friends, it became harder to resist. I try to live in a persistent warm state so I am open to the world. A warm state of mind helps me be more consistent as far as my behavior with friends, family, co-workers and encounters with new people. I have noticed that life is really hard when you are constantly role playing to a situation instead of being yourself. Staying in warm state also helps you to avoid actions you may regret later. I want to thank you for taking the time to watch this video, and I hope you will share tips that help you keep a warm state of mind!

What is the worst thing that can happen to you in your life? For a long time I feared that shame, embarrassment, and death were some of the worst things that could happen to me. However, now I see that the worst thing that can happen to me is to miss the beauty of this moment. Life is ultimately one moment, and the past and future are experienced in the present. Everyone in the world has set me up to experience this one moment and I can either accept it and be thankful, or reject it and feel sorry for myself.

How do you treat other people? When someone does something you do not like, how do you react to them? How you treat other people is inseparable from the life you are living inside. In other words, when you hurt other people, you are ultimately hurting yourself. I can say this from experience. During my darkest times when I was angry at the world, I also suffered from low self-esteem and a lack of self-worth. As I have grown my profile online and built up a healthy following, I have noticed an increase in negative comments on everything from my voice, appearance and quality of work. I am thankful to have reached a place spiritually where instead of fighting fire with fire, I now opt to pray for people who try to do harm to me. I was once in their shoes, and I pray they will learn how to love themselves and their neighbors. In the end hate will lead to your own destruction.

Why I stopped saying "he" or "she" started it

Have you ever found yourself saying "he" or "she" started it? I know I used to say this a lot, and lived my life on a "you started it" basis. What does "you started it" mean? It means someone did or said something that forced you to react out of your own control. In other words, you are not at fault for your reaction since someone else caused it. When you apply this thinking to adult relationships it becomes pretty ridiculous. The idea of "you started it" creates an artificial beginning that ignores everything that happened before it, and takes the responsibility away from the person who did not start it. If you want to feel better about yourself and others, you must first be accountable for your own behavior. Do not let others dictate how you act.

Dating after 50 is easier when you give what you want to receive

Are you or someone you know 50 and looking to date? Whether you are 15 or 50, the principles of dating remain the same. You want to have someone in your life to be in a relationship with. Many people I have come across who are over 50 talk about dating like it's a completely different challenge. Yes, some of the details may change such as the family dynamic, but fundamentally it is the same as at any other point in your life. As you grow older you may become more risk adverse and this can be a serious impediment to dating. Dating involves risk taking. You do not know what someone will be like upon first meeting them or if you will be able to eventually cultivate a relationship, but this is the same at any age. If you are honest about what you want out of a relationship with yourself and the person you are dating, you are much more likely to be happy in the relationship! Do not let your age deter you from dating! Thank you for watching this and please share what has helped you to get out and date!

The easiest way to not get sick and be healthy is to get sleep and relax every day

Do you find yourself getting sick all the time? I have found that the easiest way to stay healthy is to make sure I get enough rest each day. In the past I viewed sickness from a scientific standpoint, and I tried to avoid germs at all cost. But, no matter how much hand sanitiser I used, I still found myself getting sick. During the past year I have made an effort to take better care of my body. This included getting more rest, eating healthier and maintaining a regular exercise routine. The results have been incredible! In addition to being more productive and having more energy, I have not gotten sick! In the past I noticed that I would often get sick when I deprived myself of sleep, and now I make an effort to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night. If I find myself in a position where I cannot get 7-8 hour of sleep, I make up for this by taking some time during the day to either take a nap, listen to a book or meditate. I hope some of these tips help you to avoid getting sick, and as always I appreciate your feedback!

Society likes to give these innovative minds all the credit when it comes to changing the world, but what gets lost is all the people and circumstances that allowed them to have an impact. Without Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs might not have been such a prominent figure in our culture. Who is Steve Wozniak? This same principle holds true to everyone throughout history. No one person changes the world, everyone has their own impact.

How to make the right decision now using the past and the future to help

How do you use the past and future to make decisions in the moment? Most of my life I made selfish, impulsive decisions. You could almost describe my behavior as childish. I made choices based only on what I wanted to do, and if I didn't get my way I would go into the situation with a negative attitude. Now when I make decisions, I try to imagine what my future self would have wanted to do. So now whenever I have a free moment, I choose to spend it with my family. When I am on my death bed I will not regret that I didn't play more video games or spent more time by myself, but I might regret not spending more time with my loved ones. Instead of focusing on not liking a particular activity, I tell myself that I am there to be with my family.

How to stop being in a hurry

Are you always in a hurry? Do you constantly find yourself in rush to get to work, school or appointments? Like most Americans, I always found myself in a hurry to get somewhere. Not only did this cause me to be stressed, but I found myself hurting others around me. Now I make an effort to get to my appointments early. This allows me to take my time driving, make great first impressions and most of all avoid the stress of being in a hurry. Even if I am going to be late getting somewhere, I will take a deep breath, appreciate the moment and take my time traveling. I want to thank you for taking the time to watch this, and as always I appreciate your feedback!

How having more is having less

Have you worked hard in your life to get more? Do you want a more expensive car, a bigger house, or more things to fill your house with? For most of my life I always wanted more money, possessions, and friends. The surprising thing is having more is having less. Having just what I need is perfect, and having more than I need is just as much of a burden as having less than what I need. I have a house full of things, and I feel the weight of things I don't use very acutely. How many times have you resisted the idea of giving or throwing something away? In the past I have resisted giving away things I did not use because it felt like I was getting rid of a part of me. I have worked hard in my life to accumulate everything I own, so it is hard to part ways with things even if I do not have a need for them. Today I gave away a mini fridge for free because the idea of keeping it filled with things was a burden on me. Do not let your possessions own you. Don't be afraid to part ways with things you do not use, because there is someone out there who might need it. I want to thank you for taking the time to watch this, and I appreciate your feedback!

Eric John Kaiser Great post. I agree. When I moved from Paris, France to Portland, OR in 2006, I had to empty my entire apartment. I realized how much stuff I had! It was like a cleanse to get rid of some of that stuff and giving it away. What I need is different from what I want.

How do you know if you have everything you need? I know I have everything I need, and knowing this gives me peace of mind. The hardest moment in my life was when my dad passed away.

How do you know if you have everything you need? I know I have everything I need, and knowing this gives me peace of mind. The hardest moment in my life was when my dad passed away. Even though I knew my dad was terminally ill and I tried to prepare myself for the day he finally passed, I still thought it was unfair that he was taken from me. My mom, dad, brother and wife were the four people I could not live without, and I was angry that my dad was taken from me at such a young age. I eventually realized that I wan't mad that my dad had passed away, I was mad that he was taken away from me. I now know that my dad is still here with me in spirit, and that I am blessed to have so many people in my life already who want to see me succeed. I now view my dad's death as an opportunity to build stronger relationships with the people in my life! Thank you for taking the time to watch this, and I appreciate your feedback!

When you feel sad, how do you feel better? Here is what works for me!

How do pick yourself up when you are feeling down? What do you turn to when you are feeling depressed? In the past when I would feel sad, I would try to rationalize my depression. This would often lead to me changing my routine, picking fights with people I felt treated me unfairly, and ultimately turning to alcohol. This caused me to extend my periods of sadness. Having brief periods of depression is normal. Instead of focusing on what is making me sad, I try to stick my routine and be as consistent as possible. The feeling of sadness will leave on it's own!

Alyshia Eming I think it is concerning that you are talking about depression in a flippant manner, saying that it will just go away. Though this might be your experience. There is a difference between depression and "feeling down". People throw the word depression around and use it incorrectly. If you're going to talk about mental health issues, please consider posting a disclaimer saying you're not a mental health expert or that you are talking from lived experience. This type of talk about "it will just go away" emphasises the unhealthy attitude that many, often sufferers, have about their own expectations to be able to just "snap out of it" - whilst mental health issues rarely go away on their own and people should be encouraged to seek help, from family, friends, counsellors or psychologists. Often mental health issues will worsen without help or support. "Putting a reason behind why you're depressed is dangerous" Depression is a mental illness that has causes, even if it is not apparent to the person at the time. Depression is not something that lasts for a few minutes or an hour. If you are going to make instructional videos, please consider doing more research and having valid sources to back what you are saying. Whilst I understand you are talking from your experience and I respect that, however if you are trying to make a career out of "inspirational and helpful youtube videos" - please consider the impact you have on your audience and the language you use. http://www.beyondblue.org.au/the-facts/depression/types-of-depression

How to make life easier by living one day at a time

What is the most powerful thing you can do to change your life? For me it is living one day at a time. By acknowledging that life is only lived today, you can focus on all of the little things rather than concerning yourself with a completely unknown future. Living in the moment has helped me to truly appreciate everything life has to offer. I also like to focus on the similarities in my life rather than the differences. Focusing on similarities has allowed me to make the most positive changes as a person. Living one day at a time allows you to maintain a level of consistency that is best for you and the people around you. I want to thank you for taking the time to watch this, and as always I appreciate your feedback!

Pulsatilla Pratensis Agree with this. Living moment to moment with the acknowledgement "I am always where I need to be, in time and space" is what has helped me a lot in many difficult situations.

Do you take the simple things in life for granted? I know that in the past I have. Something as simple as laying in bed with my wife gives me all the happiness in the world now. After my dad passed away, my mom said she would give anything in the world to be able to wake up next to him. She regretted all the times they went to bed angry at each other. After hearing this, I am thankful for each and every morning I wake up next to my wife. I pray I can be thankful for the simple things in life that truly matter!
