Tony On Financial Freedom

"Optimists Succeeds."

"No amount of money will ever make you wealthy."

"Financial freedom is when you don't have to work anymore and everything you can think of is covered."

"Having to grow in order for you to feel significant enough means you will always be poor."

"Spend less than you earn."

"The top 10 traders in the history of the world are not even right half of the time."

"If you can be financially free for less do it."

-Anthony Robbins

The Tree and the Coin

I was watching a movie and the following caught my attention and it could be applied practically in our daily lives.

"One's conduct should be modeled after a tree, the trunk is rooted while its leaves flourish."

-This basically means we are rooted in solid principles while we expand and make our friends and connections and maintaining our principles.

"One's attitude should be like a coin, square on the inside while smooth on the edges."
-this means that no matter how solid we are with our principles inside we should also know how to blend in with people who don't have the same point of view like we do.

All Inside Your Head

All the things that makes you angry and irritated exist only in you.



Nothing in the world can make you feel bad, angry, depressed, irritated, emotional or lonely unless you have trained yourself to be angry and irritated by certain words, conditions and people.

10% is what happens to you 90% is your reaction to it.

When you are not busy actively making yourself miserable, by reacting negatively to people, situations and circumstances, you will be happy.

What makes you unhappy is the programming you got from other people. The beliefs you got with the people or group you associate, the Media, your parents, your neighborhood.

What makes you feel bad is your social conditioning.

We live in a world where the society promotes getting angry, depressed, irritated, criticism, gossiping, judging competition, fear, jealousy, emotional, upset as something normal. How unfortunate.

We can't do anything about other people's belief, but we can do something about our beliefs. We can choose to live in the light or in the dark.

We are all okay, We just allowed other people to put wrong ideas in our heads that's why some of us are suffering.

Interpretations

As I have observed, it's Funny how people's definition of their God is directly proportional to how they define themselves. 

It seems that the attribute of people's God is the same as their attitude, character and personality.

If the leader's attitude is aggressive their God is also aggressive. If the leader's attitude is loving their God is also loving. If the leader's attitude is irritated with other religion their God is also irritated with other religion. And whatever the leader's character and attitude is,  their members also has that same character and attitude.

The saying "You see people as you are, not as the are" holds true. Because, it seems that people interpret the holy texts, scriptures or books mostly based with how they would interpret as if they are interpreting themselves. And they will find all the evidence in their holy books to support what they "feel is right" maybe that is why most preachers have different interpretation of these holy books and quite often, even if its the same Holy Book they don't agree.

Observe most religions and spiritual movements Why is it that what the leader of the religion likes, their God also likes. What a the leader of the religion hates, their God also hates. Whatever they support their God also supports. 

And how they interpret the teachings is mostly based on their personality. And all their interpretation and definition of their God is mostly based their persoanl view of people and the world. 

If you open your mind most preachers, pastors, teachers, Gurus, Holy Men and their teachings and interpretations are based with their personality and that is the reason for all the separation and hate in this world.

Be observant, I believe the God we all believe has no personality and is impersonal. The cause of most negativity in religion is when the personal attitude and interpretations of the leader takes over.

Think for yourselves, don't let other people's belief rub on you without your consent.

Doing the Opposite

“The universe maintained a balance, moving first one way 

and then the other in a forever equalizing of opposites.” 

― Diana Lanham, House of Aegea

Sometimes doing the opposite is the most practical thing to do. Which means if what you are doing right now is not generating the results you want, maybe you want to do the opposite.

For example...


If spending too much is not working, maybe you should save.

If keeping quite is not working, maybe you should start talking.

If getting irritated or angry is not working maybe be more kind and patient might work.

If yelling is not working talk in a soft tone.

If playing video games waste too much time then do the opposite.

if talking in a soft tone is not working maybe try yelling.

If talking all the time is not working then try keeping quite.

If eating unhealthy food is not working start eating healthy foods.

If not approaching is not working then start approaching.

If meditating all day and not doing any physical action is not giving you the life you want then maybe its time to get off your ass and start working.

If listening to teacher confuses you even more then think for yourself.

If going to church makes you more negative towards other people maybe you might want to stop.

If not smiling and being badtrip keeps people away from you then try smiling more and be in a good trip.

If just being yourself seems like is not working for you spiritually then maybe try going to church and be part of a group.

If voicing our your opinions is not working anymore then try the opposite. Or if being too timid is not working then try voicing it out.

If thinking for yourself has not given you the life you want then maybe you might want to start listening to other people.

If not taking a bath is not working anymore, maybe it will be better to taking a bath.

If wanting to be always right is not working then do the opposite and submit.
If reading and learning and attending seminars has not generated the results you are looking for then stop and start applying.

If being a snob and not talking to people makes you not make new friends maybe its time to start smiling and start chatting with people.

If being sarcastic seems like is not working anymore maybe do the opposite.
If staying up late makes you feel lethargic and seems like you are not able to accomplish things maybe you might want to sleep early.

If eating pizza, chocolates, cakes, rice and ice cream makes your fat and gain weight, maybe you might want to do the opposite and not eat those.

If your job is not giving you enough money to make ends meet maybe you might want to go into business.

If talking to a person in a bad mood is not working try talking to them in a good mood.

If replying to notifications everyday eats away your time and lessens your productivity maybe you can do the opposite.

Remember if what you are doing is not giving you the results you want then do the opposite because if you keep on doing what you do and expecting a different result, Einstein calls it insanity.

Just do the opposite.

Think about it.

How Media and Marketing Takes Control of Your Mind

Credits to RSD Tyler and DM Siapno

The sad thing about media is that for them to get your attention they have to create a headline that takes your attention.

Mostly its either bad news, sex, accidents or something crazy. 

And this thing hurts people and the unfortunate thing is people are not aware of it. 

They are not aware that their attitude, their health and fashion is greatly influenced by the media which is even more powerful these days than religion. 

And most of the time, even if its bad like eating burgers, hating another person or country, celebrity or politician people are oblivious of it they just accept like they are zombies without control of their minds.
------------------------------------------

No one is against you.

You are the only one who is against yourself. 

The Truth about Media and Social Advertisement. 

You've been fooled all along by having them give what you just want and not what you really need. 

Start asking questions and be curious, be responsible and accountable for your life rather than just blindly following the crowd.

Do not just safely live on the "Hope" of CHANGE!

Daily Meditation

On Meditation

"Anyone who determines to lead a spiritual life must daily devote some time to meditation.

As soon may the physical life be sustained without food as the spiritual without meditation.




Those who cannot spare half and hour a day during which the world may be shut out and the mind may receive from the spiritual planes a current of life, cannot lead the spiritual life.

Only to the mind concentrated, steady, shut out from the world, can the Divine reveal itself.

The concentrated intelligence, the power of withdrawing outside the turmoil, mean immensely increased energy in work, mean steadiness, self-control, serenity; the man who waste no time, scatters no energy, misses no opportunity.

Such a man governs events, because within him is the power whereof events are only the outer expression; he shares the divine life and thereafter shares the divine power."

-Annie Besant, from the book; "Thought Power It's Control and Culture" 1901, Theosophical Publishing Society London.

Where the Magic Happpens

Sometimes part of our comfort zone is our closest friends.   

That means..

If we really want to learn and develop ourselves we have to look for friends who will push us forward... not friends who holds us back.

'Comfort zone friends' are good to spend time with to chill out and relax but the problem is sometimes it gets too comfortable.




Just like our muscles, if our muscles don't get stretched or enough exercise it loses its flexibility and strength.

You need to stretch and strengthen yourself.

 A ship is meant to be sailed in the rough ocean not just parked with others ships in the dock. ( comfort zone)

And if you really want to grow you have to find friends/teachers who are higher, better or stronger than you.

We don't want an entourage, where you are only the most intelligent, powerful and financially capable in the group. It's a good feeling that you are the most sought after person in your group but actually its a trap..

Because if that happens you will not grow anymore, people will grow with you but you will just remain the same or worse you could get infected by the people around you because you are the only one with the most powerful energy and typically people will get energy from the higher person in the group. (this is very prevalent in organizations where they just look up to the most powerful person and let that strong person do the thinking for them, they  get lazy exercising their power. )




What you want to do, if you want to develop yourself, is to spend time with people who are better, smarter, powerful and richer than you because just by being in their presence will push you higher than you usually are.




A samurai warrior will grow strong if it will not explore outside the village and looks for a master and fight other warriors outside their village. Because, if the warrior will just stay in their village with his 'comfort zone' friends the warrior will not grow enough.




Perhaps, and maybe, that is where the magic happens.

This is my secret in making money faster and improving my life in some areas faster than the average person.

How to Apply Properly the Law of Association?

This is a simple advice if you want to be rich.

Find 5 friends who is richer than you.

Why?

Because you want to be the lowest earner with the 5 people. So that they could lift you up.

Surround yourself with 5 friends who is better or higher than your income. Because if you spend time with people who have the same income or lower than you are you will adapt those too!

You want to be the lowest earner in the 5 people who you associate with everyday.

That is why there was a time I left my friends who are not making more money than me. Sorry, I stopped spending too much time with them.

I stopped hanging out and spending time with them.

Because for me it is very important at that time for me to make a lot of money. So, I found 5 people who is richer than me and I ask them to mentor me.

Now you know.

FIND 5 PEOPLE WHO IS RICHER THAN YOU.

Apply it now.

-----

PS if you are the most powerful, rich and skilled person in your group, be afriad, they will pull you down automatically. You want to be part of a group where you are the lowest one and the 5 will naturally pull you up.

PPS if you are the most powerful, rich and skilled person in your group they will pull you down automatically. You want to be part of a group where you are the lower one and the 5 will naturally pull you up.

If you don't believe me try this out.

it is a natural universal law.

Find 5 people who are making lower money than you and spend time with them. If you are the only one making money in your group they will pull you down.

You want to spend time with 5 people who are making more money than you so that they will naturally pull you up.

if ikaw pinaka positive sa group tapos yung lima depressed, magugulat ka nalang isang araw depressed ka na hahaha!

Work and Programming

If you go home from work tired, struggling, pressured or just plainly having a bad day what happens is that you are "programming" the people in your home that life is hard and working will make you feel bad and makes your body tired and sick.

If you are a parent this is even worse.

You are sending a signal to your child that working is stressful and providing for the family makes you unhealthy and makes you have no more time for your family.

That means when your child grows up he/she is already set up for a life of struggle, stress and hardship.

However, if you enjoy what you do and making money to you feels good and fun what are you telling the people you spend time with? Correct! You are sending them a unconscious signal that life is good and working hard feels great and makes you happier and healthy.

You have to remember that whatever you are feeling and doing right now to make money sets up a program in your child's eye that they will eventually adapt when they start to work when they grow up. 

So makes sure that what you do makes you feel good and will leave a positive example to you family.

That is why I always advocate finding something that makes you money to provide and also that you love doing it.

So, if you don't enjoy what you do, you either change what you are doing or change your attitude towards it because the life you save could be your loved ones and the future generations.

Do you want to leave a positive example or a negative one?

Think about it.

Men Wants "Alone Time"

This post will help you understand men and women.

That means We men retreat to our cave from time to time. We don't want to be with our girl 24/7.

Being alone could mean hanging out with our friends, playing games, running our own errands or just simply doing our thing.

However, girls treat us like their girl friends. Girls wants to be with their guy 24/7 and this is what drives men crazy and often times leads to misunderstandings and fights.

Women thinks and treats their men like one of their girls which shouldn't be the case.

If you're a women and you are reading this if your man wants to be alone or wants to get away from you sometimes that doesn't mean that they love you less.

God created us this way.

God intentionally built our bodies this way and it's not our fault.

For us men we understand that when one of our guy friends wants to be alone it just means that he just wants to be alone. We don't interpret it negatively.

For women, this will be a guide. For you to understand your man a bit more. And if you understand your man you will be able to keep him attracted to you.

Gautama Buddha on Love

-from the book Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East

The Island Where All Feelings Lived

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others, including love. One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment.

When the island was almost totally under, love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help. Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, "Richness, can I come with you on your boat?"

Richness answered, " I'm sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."

Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel.Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please." "I can't help you", Vanity said, " You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat."

Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, " Sadness, please let me go with you." Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry, but, I just need to be alone now."

Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, " Happiness, please take me with you." But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling to him.

Love began to cry. Then, she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me." It was an elder.
Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name.

When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder. Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me?" "It was Time", Knowledge answered. "But why did Time help me when no one else would?", Love asked. Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."
