You Are Delusional And Don’t Know It!

     Saying you believe that you will achieve something and not put forth any actions is a delusion. It’s also just as delusion to put forth actions that are inconsistent with your goal and still expect to reach them. You would be surprised at how many intelligent people there are that do this.

     How many times have you heard people say I’m tired of my situation? Something in my life has to change. No It Doesn’t, a matter of fact it can always get worse. Nothing just happens we have to make things happen by taking actions. It’s no different than you being tired and saying I believe that this chair will relieve me but never sit on it. Believing is only completed with an action. The feeling is only half of the ingredients. You have to sit in the chair! Whenever you really believe something it pushes you to some action. Belief is like the battery and fuel in your car. It gives you the power to get you where you want to go. Neither of them will do you any good just because you have them in your car. You have to put them to work!!

     I see this with all types of people but mostly with a lot of church people. It’s so weird to me that they would do this because there is a very popular scripture that reads “Faith without works is dead.” If they would just follow this they would be very successful. For some reason a lot of people still get into the name it and claim it prosperity wishes. This doesn’t make sense; send your money to a T.V. Evangelist because he says you will plant a seed for a financial break through. Lol, that’s like planting gummy bears and looking at the ground every day for a harvest.

     I will remind you that you are sending your money in to someone who owns private jets. Hello, you already have no money? If you want money just follow the examples of the people who have it. I definitely wouldn’t suggest you doing the same thing he did. If you do you will be the scum of the Earth!! I know he didn’t get the jets by sending his money to other pastors on T.V. Sending your money into them is definitely not congruent to meeting your goals. Work hard, invest, come up with an idea, start a business, ect. Just please stop wishing, you are better off going to wishing wells at night and collecting coins!

     I can’t count the times I have been frustrated while training. It happens all the time! This happens more at the boxing gym than anywhere else. They are always telling me that I’m thinking too much. I would always think how am I supposed to do what you are telling me if I don’t think about it? This made no sense to me and would drive me crazy. I am a super analytical person and have always been told that I think too much. So how was I suppose to stop now, plus its works great for me in so many other areas of my life.

     Coach Herb finally started telling me to move on to something else. They would later ask me to do the previous thing and I would have it. It was a miracle so I thought. We all do this all the time. But not intentional as we should. If you don’t believe me I’ll show you. How many times have you racked your brain trying to think of someone’s name and couldn’t. I bet the next day or later when you totally forgot about it the name just popped into your head.

     Sometimes our brains can’t function right because we are over loading it. The next time you are stuck on a problem that you have been working on for a while with no results, just take a step back. Find something else to do or take a short break. You will be amazed when you return. Some people do this intentionally including myself. I will start thinking hard about a topic or a training move and then totally move away from it. Sometimes I’ll even take a quick nap or do it before bed at night. When I awake the whole outline is done or the move is so much clearer with a variation that I had never seen. Then all I have to do is type away!

Are You Spooking Yourself And Don’t Know It?

     Sometimes we learn things unintentionally that harms us. This is so dangerous, because those things sometimes keep us from reaching our potential. The bad thing about it is most of the time we have no clue that we have learned something harmful to us.

     I will give you an example. Have you noticed that young kids can run and jump forever? Leslie was telling me yesterday that she and a friend were in a restaurant. She said that there were two kids that played the whole time and she wishes she had energy like that!

     It has been proven that kids only learn to be tired by adults. A study in Behavioral Modification shows that kids learn how to be tired when they see their parents humped over saying that they are tired. This is a learned behavior. The whole time the kids were running around the track they were fine. They had lots of energy and probably could have kept running like Forest Gump!!lol

     In my own life I try to stay away from looking at a lot of fighters in my weight class that I might potentially have to fight. Many people don’t understand this, but I could care less. I don’t watch them because I don’t want to view them any bigger than they are. When you do view them bigger it produces unhealthy fears that will work for their advantage not mine.

     I have always believed I was right about this. I finally have a real life example of this. Recently, I was talking to Gary Russell Jr. 2008 Olympian and 12-0 pro. He just had another 1st round knock out on Saturday. He told me that he never looks at film. He leaves that for his father to do and prepare him accordingly. I also have heard Mayweather says he doesn’t watch film either, but I bet his coaches do! I believe this is the way they get the right preparation without the fear! Try to look at areas in your life where you might be spooking yourself. How many times in life have you had anxiety about something, but finally face it and say “It wasn’t that bad?” You realize it was only bad in your mind because someone placed the fear there. Start cutting people off when they try to place there limitations and fears on you. They may have failed doing it! Guess what, they aren’t you!!!

The Crack Pipe In My Life

     I must admit I use to look down on people with addictions. I often said I don’t understand how they could get caught up into something like that. It just seemed like common sense. Just don’t even try the stuff. We have all seen movies and stories about people who do crack and end up on the streets.

     I have always been super disciplined and mentally strong. About six years ago I had to face the fact that I wasn’t as strong as I thought. I started going to the casino just to do something. I really don’t go out. I found myself on the crap tables. I started winning and felt the rush and focus! This became a problem because eventually I started to lose. For some reason when I started to lose a little I would think I’ll win it back. Eventually I would lose everything. I kid you not every time I lost the very next roll, my numbers would start hitting 6 and 8 and hard 6 and 8. I would then go to the ATM and lose more money.

     This got so bad. I thought I could manage it by only taking a certain amount of money and leaving my card and checks at home. I thought you are not going to drive 45 minutes back home. Wrong!! I would RUN to the car and tear it apart hoping I had missed a check. I would then drive home 45 mins and another 45 back to the casino. Many nights I would come out and it would be the next day. I even tried to take the girl friend with me that I had at the time. The plan was I would let her keep my money and she was not to give me anymore under any circumstances!! This did not work! You guys can see from my videos I can be super hype! It immediately went to the crazy man give me my MONEY! I don’t care what I said earlier listen to what I’m saying now.

     I started noticing that when I came back the next day, a couple of people would still be there with the same clothes on with that look! I would drive home with a terrible feeling of why can’t I stop this? I know better. One of my closest family members has had this exact same problem’s at least ten years prior and still to this day. I had spent thousands of conversations telling him how this makes no since and how he should stop. So I had no excuse!

     It finally hit me that year when one of the casino managers came to me while I was reloading at the ATM and said “What college do you go to. You look like a good young man and I see you here too much. I don’t want you to be like those guys look at them! I don’t want to see you here again. I had never noticed her before.”

     That was It for me! That problem ended there. Before, I tried to manage the crack pipe and set up parameters. You can’t manage your CRACK PIPE whatever it may be in your life. You have to kill it right away. I have never seen anyone watering or fertilizing the weeds in there yard. Neither can you do it with your Pipe. The weeds will keep growing because you are feeding them and then cover and kill the beautiful flowers that you do have in your life. I had to take steps to kill it right away like a suicide bomber. You can’t negotiate with him! I had to openly confess to others that I had a problem. This helped because I knew people would be watching me. It gave me a since of accountability and perspective. You cannot deal with the crack pipe by yourself because you can’t give yourself perspective! If you have thoughts of doing things you know you shouldn’t, as much as you don’t want to, share it with somebody who cares and will help you and not judge you. Don’t wait it might save your life, job, marriage ect! Once you do get away stay away because those desires aren’t dead, but are waiting on an opportunity to grow again!!

Can You Handle The Truth?

      I have to talk about one of my best friends even though he hasn’t done this in a couple years. Whenever I would speak truth on anything he has done that wasn’t right, he would get upset and say, “Who are you to call me out.” Many of us are like this. We would rather live in a delusion world than admit that we aren’t perfect. A great example is with Bill Cosby. He stated the truth about issues in society. But because it touched peoples toes, people now dislike him. If they would have listen to what he said and corrected them, alot of the issues that society deals with today would not be present.

     This is so bad that most people avoid having friends that will disagree with them. It’s even worse for people who are very successful or the smartest in there group. It’s worse because they might not start out thinking they are perfect. Over time it develops because everyone around them is afraid to tell them when they are wrong, or don’t think they have the credentials to say anything. If they do say something they follow it up by saying “but I understand why you did that.” This is worthless!

     This is garbage and one of the worst things that can happen to you in life. It’s like you have a distorted mirror and ask everyone how you look, and they say great. The truth of the matter is, you have a booger in your nose, crust in your eye, and black stuff all over your teeth. That’s not being a GOOD FRIEND! If I have those things on me, tell me so I can fix it! The more things I do know about that are incorrect, the better chance I have to getting as close to perfect as possible in my life.

     Let me make this clear, don’t listen to everything that people say you need to fix. If they can’t give you a valid example then you can see keep moving. If they can’t give you clear examples it’s just there opinion. We have all heard “opinions are like butt holes we all have them and most of them stink!!”

     I urge you to try to find people that can give you an honest unbiased opinion about anything. They are more valuable than gold.
