How to Break Your Addiction to Failure
I’m going to go out on a limb here. I'm going to suggest that if you have found yourself repeating patterns that end in failure, then there is a reason for it. You may also have something in your past that is causing this pattern.

Do I dare?
Do I have what it takes? Will they read what I say? Did I leave the oven on? How many questions fly through your mind every time you take a chance? If you are lucky, one, maybe two, and they are something powerful and meaningful like "Who the hell can stop me?" or "Why wait another second?" Yeah... those are good questions... they are getting you somewhere. Not gonna hold you down. Good for you. Me, oh I get more than one or two.. I get dozens. "Why would anyone read my stuff?" "Who do you think you are?" "I mean really, did I leave the oven on.... I baked pizza... burned my finger... said some pretty words... um... did I... ?"

Thankful Thoughts
Josh Nielsen Thankful Thoughts As Thanksgiving of 2020 winds down, I reflect on all that I am thankful for. I am sure everybody else does this on this day. Maybe people are thankful for new work promotions, newfound love, their health, or simply all the little things that help life seem not so bad and brings joy to their world. Is one day a year really enough to show gratitude though?

Stop Impressing, And Start Influencing
For many of us, much of our behavior, decisions, actions, views, thoughts, mannerism, and style, is based around trying to impress others. We seem to be hell-bent on trying to fit in with others, desperate to be liked, accepted, admired, and respected. In fact, many of us cannot stand the thought of not being liked by others, and then, in turn, we try our hardest to please them. We often set the expectations on ourselves to please everyone all the time, when the reality is, such a feat is not even a possibility. This sort of behavior all starts from as far back as our schooling days, as we try so hard to make friends, fit in with the "cool kids", and be popular. It's sad that this sort of mentality leads us to destruction, not satisfaction, or success. We end up becoming a person not true to ourselves, as our decisions, actions, behavior, attitude, thoughts, views, and mannerism, aren't truly reflective of who we really are. So what happens? We end up leading a life of trying to please others, rather than pleasing ourselves, because our decisions and actions are based purely on what we believe will impress others. What we don't realize is, it's not impressing others that leads to success, satisfaction, happiness, and fulfillment, it's influencing others that creates the greatest impact.

Quest to Success:
Before we start, let's take a moment to clear your mind, relax, and refresh your thoughts. How many of us desire wealth and success? How many of us seek for a better lifestyle for our body, mind and soul? How many of us are willing to do whatever it takes to live a better lifestyle for our body, mind and soul in order to achieve wealth and success? These are all relative questions you should be asking yourself everyday if you're serious about your quest to success.

What Jordan’s Legacy and The Last Dance Teach Us About Change
Who else rewatched The Last Dance when it dropped on Netflix? As a basketball or Bulls’ fan in the 90’s, it’s hard not to be overcome by nostalgia when you see Jordan hit any of his legendary game-winning shots. But when examined closely, the docuseries is much more than just an ode to the best basketball player of all time (yes, we believe this to be undisputed). It’s a story about organizational greatness, and the teamwork, resilience, and passion required to achieve it. How does it apply to our lives today, personally and professionally?

Health Is The Real Wealth
I personally know of numerous people who bust their butt off for their job or business, working long hours, and who average around just 5 of sleep each night. They basically leave at the crack of dawn, and don't return home around 6pm-7pm, time enough for dinner, a shower, and at least a couple of hours with their family, before bedtime. As it is, some still come home to do more work. One particular friend has always stood by his motto of working hard and maximizing the hours he has awake, and then he can sleep when he's dead. I'm sure a lot of people around the world live life in the same manner, especially entrepreneurs and executives, who work their bum off to build profits for their respective businesses, yet sacrifice their sleep in the process, likely also family time. With the time spent within their business, another activity that often goes by the wayside, is exercise. With their stream of income on the line, the importance of creating profits is absolutely crucial, hence why they believe they need to work long hours, and sacrifice other aspects of life, because it's money they rely on, and what they believe determines their survival and enhances their future. Those who work in corporate jobs aren't much better either. Many people work long hours, and even work overtime unpaid, to remove any potential they may possibly be dismissed off the back of not meeting the company's requirements, and losing their income source altogether. Let's be honest, no matter what work we do, many of us place so much emphasis on, and prioritize any actions, that are income producing, or to do with money. We do it to ensure we have food on the table, to ensure we have a roof over our head, and to ensure we have some funds left over to live some sort of quality of life. At what cost though, are we doing so?

Crazy 2020, but a lot to be thankful for
Crazier than 2020 I started my year in my senior year of college in New Orleans. Stressed with with what I thought to be my final semester, I spent much of my time hitting my dab pen then hitting the books. I got a night job at a local gas station right as Mardi Gras rolled around. Showing up to work drunk every day ensured that I got fired within 2 weeks of starting. The party didn’t stop when Mardi Gras came to an end, and I stumbled back to my dorm at 3am for many nights afterwards. Becoming increasingly disillusioned, the school ended up sending me to University Medical Center for a psychological assessment. My discharge paperwork listed: “Schizoaffective Disorder, Alcohol abuse, THC use disorder, Current every day smoker, Psychosis, and Disorganized Schizophrenia”.
