Loved this post. The Troll Poop section really stopped me and made me realise how stupid it is to take things personally. Also the first part, that this is about the long haul, one day at a time. Loving all this goodness, thank you
Thanks Brian! The one thing that stood out for me is "Work to be worthy." Today I believe we have frequent bouts of entitlement-itous (I just made that up). When we create a website we expect people to automatically discover us and buy our product immediately. There are times when I scan a dating site and notice many of us expect prince or princess charming to come into our lives without doing any of the leg work. "Where are all the nice guys?" is a very common to see. Well are you nice? What is your character and how did you treat the last nice guy you encountered? The same goes for guys. If like attracts like then how do we measure up to the things we want in life and in a partner? I have been doing a lot of work on myself in the recent months and this is one that resonates with me. So thank you once again for doing what you do!
Brian can you do a video about yourself? You're top 10 favorite ideas, what you do for fun? Walk us through your day to day. I'd love to interview you and have you put it only on your channel or just I dunno you're very interesting and I been learning or trying to as much as I can from you and you're videos. So many ideas and a little overwhelming at times but just an awesome UA-cam channel ty
Yay, for getting rid of Troll Poop! Totally agree. I actually found you from Varietygirl1 's post. Just subscribed. This speaks to me as I'm always happy when I'm busy being creative. Great 5 Big Ideas! Thanks for sharing and happy to e-meet you.
Hi Brian, awesome episode as always and btw the micro classes are amazing :) I love the idea that there's no such things as overnight success. We really need to show up everyday patiently, persistently and diligently because that's the secret of success. Thank you my great teacher.
When a person is attempting to make positive changes, and many motivational speakers and self-help books state you can change your circumstances immediately, focusing on the process is very difficult. Also, the person has to discover his or her unique and positive virtues, rituals, habits and fundamentals. When family members, friends, and associates dish out negative comments and behaviors towards the person making the changes, focusing on process is difficult. Making "Process Primary" is spiritually, mentally, and physically painful! Family members; business associates; religious members; academic institutions, athletic teams, et cetera want immediate successful results! Immediate successful results dictate human opinion, with regards to success. Making each day a "Masterpiece" requires ongoing and increased discipline, patience, persistence, failure, rituals, habits, fundamentals, and a high tolerance for pain, while saying "NO!" to almost everything! Personally, making each day a "Masterpiece" is something I do not enjoy; yet, not making each day a "Masterpiece" is too painful beyond words. "It ain't about how hard you can hit. It's about how you can get hit it, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward." From the movie "Rocky Balboa"
humanyoda Thank you for your reply. Conquering our negative inclinations is not an enjoyable process. For example, overcoming an heroin addiction or poor eating habits are not enjoyable. It is easier to yield to the addiction or bad habit, than to conquer spiritual, mental, and physical pain related to overcoming an addiction or bad habit. As Brian Johnson,, YESHUA (JESUS), Bodhidharma, and many philosophers have stated, one must be crucified (die to oneself or inclinations), in order to resurrect (metamorphosis). Once again, as Brian Johnson accurately and eloquently stated "Last time I checked, a crucifixion is not a pleasant experience." Finally, former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson stated it is very painful and challenging to become champion. In order to become champion, you must make each day a masterpiece! Try stepping in a boxing ring with an accomplished heavyweight fighter who is attempting to separate your head from your body, then tell me about enjoying making each day a masterpiece. Do you honestly believe Michael Phelps enjoyed making each day a masterpiece, training for and competing in the Olympics? Thank you for your reply, once again
humanyoda Thank you for your reply. I have competed in martial arts and boxing; served in infantry units, and performed as a strength and conditioning coach to elite athletes and military personnel. I am stating my position, with humility and over twenty years of arrogant, then humbled experience. You are certainly entitled to your position. Many times I have stated "The more I know, the more I realize how ignorant I am!"
The point about focusing on the process and not the result seems like a rule of thumbs and you seem to repeat it in many of the videos. It reminds me of the journey being more important than the destination. But there is also the contradicting mindset of focusing on the why (the vision) and not the how (the way)... What do you think is more effective?
Number 3: Very good drawing there. Combine the wave-drawing with the mountain-drawing and what you get is the realistic version of "chain-creating". See, with the wave-drawing it implies you won't reach the top (or that it's not necessary). But if you only have the mountain-drawing with them base camps, it implies you never have downs. The whole mountain-metaphor has always seemed too easy to me, but now it doesn't anymore. Thank you for this Eureka-moment. It's a "steep wave", that's what it is. A steep wave.
I am so grateful to you for creating this site and all the work you put into it. A site of constant inspiration. Thank you very much
Thanks, Nigel!!!
Make today a masterpiece. Make those 25 min a masterpiece. Make every instant like a life that you master and piece of art worth all of the world. MP

***** The answer is almost always, "Yes, and!" not "either/or!"
I see! that's a win win!! :)
