The road to success - Reflection, as if the goals are achieved.
Living the dream. I have a great family, supportive partner, cool kids, and an awesome group of friends. The feelings have ramped up because I have ramped up and developed into a better person all around!
When I think about it, I'm excited with my current income sources, my ability to keep the temple healthy, and constantly learning new things. Life is progressing exactly how I envisioned it was going to.
So, what is the secret to this success? Every morning, kickstarting my day with a good old-fashioned dose of inspiration! Morning video followed by some breathing and/or exercise and a cold shower. It was the perfect way to get fizzed up and ready to tackle the day!
Nothing phases me because I know, if I zoom out or be creative, I can loop my way to a clear head and the bigger picture views on any situation.
But let's not forget the amount of positive repetitions it took to get me here. Finding perspectives is the game! I have a solid exercise routine that keeps me in top shape, both physically and mentally. I also make sure I stay hydrated, eat well, and get plenty of rest.
Cash flow! My Futuristic mindset makes me good at forecasting markets and allows me to visualise my financial future and make it a reality. Three streams of income, baby! Raking in the dough.
And finally, my love of learning never faded. My Ideation strength to constantly come up with new ideas , think outside the box and not get stuck doing what you've always done. My Responsibility and Relator strengths make sure I stay connected and accountable to the people who matter most.
So, there you have it. Matt surfed his way to the top and became a master of the art of surfing - both in the ocean and in life. All it took was a little bit of inspiration in the morning and it was ALL ON!.
Awesome
