Welcome Back!

 

I hope everyone has been doing well! With Halloween only two days away, we only have two months left of 2017 people! Crazy. Keep grinding everyday to make sure you make the most of these two months.

In today’s blog I want to talk about the importance of time and opportunity.

The one commodity that is most valuable is TIME. Think about it. From the moment your born, your “clock” has started and every day that goes by you are actually slowly starting to die. You need to ask yourself how much time are you willing to waste in your life. At the end of the day, right before you fall asleep, reflect on your day and ask yourself if you made the most of your time.

 

We all have the opportunity to do better than we did yesterday. We all have the opportunity to learn more today than we did yesterday. We all have the opportunity to grow more today than we did yesterday. Opportunities will not present themselves to those that have lost hope, to those that have given up, to those that feel like the world is against them. If you think the world is against you, then the world will be against you. Whatever you are willing to put out, is what you will get in return.

Don’t wait for opportunity. Create it. Seek the opportunities you wish to find. Seek the opportunities that you are passionate about and when you do: CONQUER THEM.

Business: I only have two and half weeks left of my first semester of grad school! Time has been flying by. I am also 36 days out from taking my first CPA exam.

Travel: I recently just went to Las Vegas to watch my sister Loren play in a college golf tournament. She did really well and it was great to see her play. The weather in Vegas was great and it was so nice to be in the hot sun. My wallet didn’t like Vegas that much though lol.

Upcoming Travel: I will be going to Detroit in mid-November and Cincinnati in December to play in roller hockey tournaments. I am also headed to Florida most likely to visit my friend Blake in December. Lastly, two days after Christmas I am headed to Aruba for vacation!

Fitness: 10,000 calorie burn challenge is coming up. Going to see how far I can push my  body! I will post a video of how it goes. I am still taking my workouts seriously, however I view working out as a way to enhance your quality of life rather than consume your life.

Hi Everyone!

After taking a couple of days to get through mid-terms I am back with another Blog! Today’s Blog will be short and sweet. I want to touch on just one quick topic.

For some time now I have been following inspirational/motivational speakers. Some of my favorite are Eric Thomas and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The other day I came across a pretty good Arnold speech in which he talked about the 24 hours in a day that you have. Below is a picture with a summary: Read it, believe it, do it.

My official Youtube Vlog is underway! Check it out if you want a visual representation of the Blog! Also don’t be afraid to comment, like and subscribe.

Business: Wrapped up mid-terms and am half way done with my first full semester of grad school. I am also about half way done studying for the first part of my CPA exam. One other business related activity I have been doing is listening to podcasts consistently. I try to listen to one every day. Having the podcast on while driving, on the computer, or working out helps maximize my day so I don’t just sit there and listen to it.

Travel: I recently just traveled out to Connecticut to re-unite with old friends and play in a roller hockey tournament. We ended up taking 2nd place, maybe next year 1st place! Going forward my travel is very uncertain, which I hate, since I am a planner. I will be going to Chicago for a roller hockey tournament Oct. 14/15. My China trip in November is still up in the air. Otherwise, I want to make a trip out to California in early December and I will be going to Aruba at the end of December.

Fitness: Currently I have been hitting the gym about 5-6 per week. I will be doing a fitness challenge called the 10,000 calorie burn challenge. If you go look on YouTube, most people do a 10,000 calorie eating challenge. I want to do the reverse…well attempt to…well see how many calories I can physically burn in a day without going to the hospital. Other than that I having been looking for my next upcoming fitness adventure. A men’s physique competition has been on my mind lately. For those who don’t know, men’s physique is an “athletic” look and “swimsuit” look competition. Unlike bodybuilding where huge muscle are needed, physique is all about being aesthetically pleasing.

Everyday ask yourself what keeps you going? Say it, do it, never forget it.
