I was doing some self-reflection and was looking back at some key areas in my life. It got me asking, what makes me happy?
People always associate costs with money. However, the is a bigger cost that could be related to bigger and more impactful areas of your life. For instance, what is the cost of in-action?
A friend of mine walked in the other and I realize something was off. I picked up on his energy and the language he was speaking. All he saw was the bad things that were going on in his life and associated that to himself as a bad person. In reality, it couldn't be more further from the truth. I showed him what self-love is. Do you have self-love?
I was sitting here doing this podcast and something occurs to me. Instead of asking HOW can I do this, what if you ask yourself, WHO can help me do this. It is very important to do what you are good at and not force yourself to learn something that isn't in your natural nature.
I remember last year in 2020 when we were going through the Covid pandemic all of my gyms had to shut down. When we were allowed to re-opened we had to follow the government's new policy of having staff at the gym stay open. Going from 24 hours where members could tag themself in and not having to have staff there to having to have a staff to open the gym was a big shock. I found myself having to wake up at 3:30am in order to get my own workout and then be at the gym to open up for 5 am and come home at 10 pm. We have the ability to create more time.
I hear these words so much! I even catch myself saying it. But let's keep it real. Do we REALLY not know what to do? Or are we not willing to put in effort to learn what to do to take our lives to the next level?
I always get asked, "why are you so happy all the time?" I never thought about it too much until recently seeing so much sadness going around. I want to share with you my tips and techniques on how I find even more happiness in my life on a daily basis.

Did Roger Federer only practise his backhand once or did he practise thousands of times to master it? Consistency is key!
If you want to grow, if you want to succeed, if you want to get what you want, then you need to start getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. Growth is uncomfortable. So get use to being uncomfortable.
This happens to me all the time. I get asked, how can I look like you. I would give them my plan. My food plan, my workout plan every detail that got me to where I am. And they will always tell me, "I can't do that" or "that is too hard" or "do I really have to eat that". So let me ask you this, are you willing to sacrifice comfort and certainty so that you can grow and get what you want?
Most of the time we don't get where we want is because we don't have enough energy. When we don't have the energy we tend to say, "I don't have time", but the true reason is we don't have energy. We are too tired. So I want to share with you how you can create more energy and more time in your life today.

Who have you been spending your time with on daily basis? On a weekly basis? Even on a monthly basis? Are they adding to your life or taking away from your life? We don't realise how important our environment is and how much impact it has on our goals. When was the last time you did an audit on your surroundings?
Life is hard. I am sure you all heard this before. Let me tell you something, Life doesn't get any easier.
You just get stronger!
Whatever you are focussing on, that is where your energy is going! Whatever we feed grows. If you are focussing on negativity, guess what? Negativity will grow in your life. If you focus on positivity then more positive things will be showing up in your life. You choose!
