Do you find yourself getting angry when the smallest things go wrong? Are you grateful when things work how they are supposed to? Yesterday I had a short internet outage and my first instinct was to get angry at my service provider. However, my service has also been the best in terms of speed and consistency since I started paying for high speed internet. I am thankful to live in a country where most things work how they are supposed to. Unfortunately, having such a high quality of living creates high expectations. So, today I ask you to be thankful when things perform as intended. Don't get angry when the bus is late or when your food takes too long to get to the table, instead be grateful for all the times your expectations were met. I want to thank you for taking the time to be here with me, and as always I appreciate you feedback!

What is the one thing you attribute most of your success to? My number one key to success is consistency. Everyday I like to spend time with things I am trying to grow and build. This applies to my business, personal relationships and spiritual learning. The same principle that applies to learning also applies to life. If you want to get better at something and perform at your best, you must give it attention on a daily basis. If you take the time to focus some attention each day on the things you are trying to build, I guarantee you will notice a considerable difference! I want to thank you for taking the time to be here with me today, and as always I appreciate your feedback!

Do you find yourself always trying to tell other people what to do? In the past, I never passed up on the opportunity to give other people advice. Telling others what to do felt empowering to me, but it didn't come without consequences. Putting in my two cents at every opportunity had a negative impact on my relationships, and also took my attention away from my own development and problems. Now, I try to never tell others what to do, and instead I try to focus on my own problems. Leading by example works much better than trying to tell other what to do! Thank you for taking the time to be here with me, and I appreciate your feedback!

Do you have trouble asking others for help? I know I have trouble accepting my limitations as a person. I believe that I can accomplish anything, but this is not true. Everyday I need the help of others to be successful. Whether it be my business or personal relationships, I rely on the input of others to succeed in life. Now that I have had success in the past year with my business, it is harder than ever for me to ask for help. I am grateful for websites such as https://clarity.fm/ that allow me to seek the help of people who been in my shoes and found even greater success. I know that to stay motivated and humble, I must continue to seek feedback and constructive criticism from others! Thank you for taking the time to be here with me today, and I appreciate your feedback!

Are you happy with what you have in life? I got everything in my life I ever wanted, and I still wasn't happy. I have a beautiful wife, successful business, live in a house I own and drive a comfortable car, but I still was not happy. I am thankful to have discovered that happiness isn't about having everything I want or having things done the way I think they should be done, happiness comes from within. It is the simple joy of being alive. It doesn't matter how much money you have, how many things you own or what kind of job you have, you can be happy by simply appreciating what life has to offer. Ever since I was a kid, my mind told me that the more things I accumulated and accomplished, the happier I would be. Well, this simply wasn't true. I soon realized that the more things I bought, the utility I received drastically diminished. I have found that a life of service brings far more happiness than a life of excess and materialism. Thank you for taking the time to be here with me, and I appreciate your feedback!

Who are you really? This is a question I struggled with as a child, teenager and young adult. In the United States, we typically introduce ourselves by sharing our name, where we live and what we do for a living. Well, my birth name is Gerald (same as my Dad), I moved around growing up due to my Mom being in the Army, and I wouldn't hold a job for longer than a year when I was younger. I remember when I was an orientation leader at my college and we were supposed to introduce ourselves to the incoming freshman and include where we grew up. Each day I would tell the different groups of students I grew up in a different area and this made my supervisor angry. But, the truth was I did not know where I was from or who I really was as a person. During different phases of my life I have been involved with different groups, enjoyed different activities, held different jobs and spent time with different people. I have come to embrace that rather than associating myself with past accomplishments or past titles, I now simply am. Each moment I have the choice to be whoever I want. Thank you for taking the time to be here with me, and I appreciate your feedback!

Why are we here today? What can we possibly accomplish in this life? What is the point of doing what we are doing everyday? To me, knowing the why of it all and knowing my purpose gives me peace of mind. I am thankful to have finally discovered my calling in life, and it is to be of service to you. In the past, my main purpose in life was to have fun. Unfortunately for me having fun often meant situations involving excitement and chaos. The world wants service out of everyone and for people to be useful in society. When you go around and do things that are not useful, you are usually not rewarded in life. Once I figured out that being of service was the proper way to live my life, I was surprised to realize how simple, yet satisfying, life can truly be. Thank you for taking the time to be here with me, and I appreciate your feedback!

Do you constantly find yourself arguing with those around you? Anytime I have been in a place of struggle, the words I needed to hear were often said to me directly. These same words I needed to hear were the same words I tended to argue over. Last night, I received an e-mail sharing constructive criticism pertaining to my Udemy courses. My first instinct was to argue with this person, but I managed to stop myself. Instead, I thanked them for sharing their opinion with me, and may even implement some of the changes they suggested. So, the next time you find yourself inclined to argue over something, first ask yourself if they are words you need to hear. Thank you for taking the time to be here with me, and I appreciate your feedback!

How do you react when someone insults you or tries to bully you? In the past, I would often escalate the situation or insult the other person back when someone would try to bully me, especially online. I also found that I would put myself into these situations to be bullied by acting arrogant and inconsiderate. Now I try to avoid these situations all together. When I do find myself being bullied or insulted, I have found that the best way to respond is with love and understanding.

Do you accept how your body is feeling? If you respect how your body is feeling when it is in pain or when you are sick, you will spend much less time in pain. In the past, I would resist fatigue, stress and headaches by taking medication. The problem with this is I was ignoring the warnings my body was giving me. At least for me, pain is usually an indication to slow down. I hope this helps you and have a great day!

What happens to me is much less important than how I react to it. I used to live my life focusing on what happened to me, and largely ignorant of how important my reaction was. Today, how I react to things is all that matters. What actually happens to me is all seen through how I react to it. I hope this video is helpful to you, and I hope you have a great day!

Seeing how all people are the same inspires me to love and take care of myself, so that I can be useful for everyone else. For most of my life I felt different from those around me. This caused me to feel isolated from the rest of the world, and I didn't work well with others. Now I like to view people like ants, because we are working towards similar goals and are ultimately interconnected. Thank you for taking the time to be here with me, and I appreciate your feedback!

Do you see when you are improving at things in life? We focus so much on what we are doing wrong, that we often do not take the time to appreciate when we are making improvements in other areas. In fact, for me it often difficult to see when I am improving at something. I hope you enjoy this video, and take a second to appreciate your improvements in life!
