What are you reading today?

Seriously, I was out tonight with a group of people and I pulled out my phone and held it up and everyone jumped into the picture. Everyone loved it and that moment made it into an instagram story with a local influencer. Suspend the disbelief especially when it feels stupid at first.

We talk a lot about adding skills, habits, and routines. Lately I’ve been noticing the opposite has mattered just as much. What’s one thing you stopped doing that noticeably improved your life? Could be a behavior, mindset, habit, relationship dynamic, or time sink. Not looking for theory, just real-world changes that actually stuck.

Gentlemen, I have found a lot of success in the practice of meditation. What this discipline has taught me is to be able to observe my thoughts and emotions as a spectator, and not be affected by them. It has laid the ground work for what is taught in MOA. We have the saying to ‘Suspend Disbelief.’ When you understand that disbelief is a thought you can choose to follow or ignore, this gives you the ability to break past limiting beliefs. Which is why we are all here, am I right? Where this has had direct life application for me, is in my career. I am a Realtor in the Tampa Bay Area, and the advice of the successful, is to make an egregious amount of cold calls to acquire business. This has been my biggest hurdle so far, because I hate coming across as “sales-y” and am a recovering people-pleaser. However, I have been able to identify, that the thing holding me back is my ego, whose goal is to keep me safe and comfortable in what is familiar. Unfortunately, what’s familiar and comfortable, isn’t successful. Maybe you can relate … It’s the classic saying of, ‘get out of your own way.’ Therefore, my new mantra for work is, Suspend Ego. Choose to identify what thoughts are holding you back and elect to suspend them. They do not control you. You decide what thoughts will be given your attention. Ask yourself, is this thought worth following? Does it get you to where you want to go? Does it align with your dreams and goals? Do not give yourself over to worthless thoughts, friends. Much love ✊🏼

When fixing the instagram if you have old pictures that fit the new criteria of good pictures or videos, should we post those? Even if they are 5-10 years old?
