Brian Kim

I've been stumbling again. Oh that magic button on my tool bar. I do so love it.
Briankim.net is one of the best, motivational sites that I have read in quite awhile. I receive his daily MIT in my e-mail. I've printed out 5 of them and posted them on my bedroom walls. These 3 are by the door:

"Its so easy to get sucked into other "worlds", that you soon forget the one you're trying to create for yourself. It's easy to forget what you're trying to do when you look at what others around you are doing and can't help but feel influenced by that, so much to the point where you begin to find yourself gravitating away from you original plan. It's like playing basketball, but having the location of the basket constantly change all the time. If that happens, you're never going to score."

"It's amazing what we can do when we just focus on doing ONE task at a time. Never mind the other tasks on the list. In fact, take out a whole new piece of blank paper and write down the task that you have to do that day, that ONE task that matters more than all the rest. Put it at the very top. A to-do list with only ONE item sure looks great and more importantly, very easy to do. One item at a time. It makes things simple. It makes it easy for you to focus. And it makes it easy for you to get it done. And then, it's just a matter of choosing the ONE task to do after that."

"What are you HAPPY about in your life right now?
What are you EXCITED about in your life right now?
What are you ABSOLUTELY COMMITTED to ACHIEVING in your life RIGHT NOW?
Let these questions lay the foundation for the rest of the day and help guide you the rest of the way."

Great aren't they but these are even better. I read them as soon as I get up and have even gone back into my room several times a day to read them again. Pretty much know them by heart but it does my soul good to read them over and over again.

These 2 I keep next to my bed.

"When your goal benefits not only yourself, but those close around you and other people as well, it gives you that extra push you need to take you to the next level. Motivation based on how it will benefit you and you alone will only take you so far. When you can see how it benefits others, that's the fuel that will take you to the next level of action."

"There will come a time in your life when everything goes right for you.
Everything
It will seem like a dream and you find it hard to ride this huge wave of momentum. And you may be tempted to attribute this to some type of force outside of you and maybe it is and maybe it isn't. But I bet if you look back at all the seeds you sowed, big and small, and you connect the dots and see how everything "synergized", you'll understand where it came from. And you'll be grateful for all those actions you took, even though you didn't really understand then at that moment in time , how it would play the role it did in contributing to all the great "luck" you're experiencing now."

Hope they are as good for you as they are for me.

The best thing I have learned from Brian Kim is "WRITE IT DOWN" I have tablets everywhere. I go to work early just so I can spend time alone in the car to write. I received legal pads for a Christmas Gift. How cool it that! I write everything down. I have tried to just go to bed and end up getting back up to put my thoughts on paper. Alot of the things I write down I just tear up and throw away but they are thoughts that are just clogging up my mind. I make lists and check off the things I've done. I can't believe what a wonderful feeling of accomplishment it give me when I can scratch an item off of my list.


I read Napoleon Hills "Think and Grow Rich more than 10 years ago. I even gave copies of it to other people. Hoping maybe they would read it and tell me what I missed. I have Brian's e-book , "The Hidden Secret of Think and Grow Rich" It explains the method much better. step by step.

THANK YOU!

I have been chasing an elusive thought all of my life. Now I know what it is. That one thing that I have been looking for. It's not just an answer, a direction, or an idea. It's my one Major Definite Purpose in life. Just knowing what it is, has opened up a way of thinking that I feel fantastic about.

Thanks Brian,

Pat

I'm glad you've rediscovered direction & purpose. I know what it's like to have a head full of thoughts that just need to be let out even if there life ends on a piece of paper. I wish I could be more supportive, be there for you. Love Your Bro. Frank
