"To be successful means to have a balance of achievements in the various areas of your life. You cannot honestly call yourself successful in your business life if your family life is in shambles."  We all want to be happy, right? Have you ever thought about what you need to be happy? Is it money, love, friends, fast cars, adventures or all of the above? As an athlete I was very good but I lacked a lot of knowledge in others areas of life such as relationships, money etc. I decided to learn and spent thousands of hours learning about life´s different areas and trying to find a recipe for a life with a lot of joy and happiness. Today I will share what I believe is the way to go to be happy. It works for me and I think it will work for you too.  I believe that to be really happy and satisfied with your life you need to fulfilled in the key areas of life and have a balance between them.
To create a balanced life you need to work with all of the things above. By challenging yourself to develop in all these areas, you will learn a lot about yourself and create a meaningful life that includes every aspect of life. For me, success and being happy is not to just seek success in one area and “forget” about the others. I don’t know if you have thought about this before, but give yourself the chance to work with all areas. If you really decide to do this, I can promise you that your life will be better in every way.
Imagine that you have mastered all areas, imagine that you are healthy, well and strong, imagine that you have the financial stability you desire, imagine that your are striving for your personal goals, imagine that you have good relationships in your life and the social stability to attract the people you want in your life. What more can you ask for? This is what I believe that you need to be happy. It is not easy, but I know that if a regular guy like me can do it, you can do it! This quote by John Lennon sums it up perfectly: “When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” ― John Lennon. Good look on your journey to happiness.

"People with good intentions make promises but people with good character keep them."  My father and Shihan (master) always told to keep my promises. As a lifelong martial artist my Sensei (trainer) and father always told me to keep my promises. He told me that if you say something, then you do it. Always honor your word. That is why my word is very important to me because I want to be a person with character and integrity. Unfortunately nowadays a lot of people talk a lot and do nothing. Let me tell you one example from my own life that I would like to share with you. A few months ago I arranged a Boot Camp. Ten people voluntarily signed up to join. Do you know how many people that showed up? 1. Only one person of ten showed up to something that they voluntarily said that they wanted to do, no one forced them. Isn't that strange you think? How can you expect great results, great friendships, great relationships and a great life if you can't even keep a promise? How is it for you? How important is your word? Do you keep promises to friends, family, partners, customers and most importantly to yourself? Today I will give you a few reasons as two why you should start acting like a true martial artist and start keeping your word. When you do, you will start noticing how your life will change. You will feel better and start to get a lot better results in life.  Why You Should Start Keeping Your Word

Remember that stress doesn't come from what's going on in your life. It comes from your thoughts about what's going on in your life.  A few days ago when I was drinking my morning coffee I started to philosophize about stress and what it means to my life. I am usually very good at handling stress and most times I believe I got my day covered, mostly because I have created great habits which include exercise, meditation, healty diet, friends, relationships, just enough quality sleep etc. BUT, the last days I saw myself doing all the same mistakes that I help other people discover and change. I was rushing to finish every task. I did five tasks at one time and finished none. I didn't plan my days. Basically I did all the beginners mistakes you can do when it comes to stress and being unproductive. Do you recognize yourself? So I was thinking what if the word stress didn't even exist. How would life look like then? Would I get more or less done? Would the quality of my work be better or worse? Let me tell you what I discovered and what the research in the area says.  Resarch shows that too little stress can lead to boredom and depression but to much stress can cause anxiety and poor health. When you find the right amount of stress it tunes up the brain and improves your performance and health. The last few days instead of stressing I decided to plan my days and work focused with one task at a time. Instead of worrying about five things I started with only one thing at a time. The results were astonishingly good:
Five things you can do to stress less
“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.”  "I so want to do it, but I am afraid." "What are you afraid of?" "I am afraid that people won't like me." "What else?" "That's it, I don't want to be disliked." Have you ever had this conversation with yourself? Let's be honest here. If everybody likes you then you are doing it wrong. Simple is that. If everybody likes you then you are not living life to your fullest potential. Don't sell yourself short in life, if you have a passion for something, have a dream or really want to do something, then you should go do it, period! It doesn't matter what you do there will always be people talking you down. It is normal. Does the thought of being disliked scare you? It certainly scares me, but I have realized that when people want you to fail or talking you down, it is a sign of weakness on their side, not yours. They are insecure themselves and are afraid to go after what they want so they figure they talk other people down instead. Don't bother, instead focus on the people that is out there hustling, grinding and working hard for their dreams. They know the taste of failure, they know the taste of other peoples trash talk. But they also know the sweet, sweet taste of success. That feeling when preparation meets opportunity.  Today I will give you a little exercise. I want you to answer three questions. It will take you approximately 10-15 minutes. Answer the questions now, don't wait!
Write this down and please be honest to yourself. You can lie to others (even if its not good), but please don't lie to yourself.

I know you are a busy person so lets cut to the chase. What can you really do to feel good about yourself? First of all let me tell you why I am writing this. My goal for you (and myself) is to become a master of life. That leads to the question: What is a master of life? My definition of a master of life: "A person that feels that he/she is successful in all parts of life and have a balance between the areas of Health, Money, Personal Goals, Relationships and the Social aspects of life." I don't care how other people define success the most important thing is that you feel successful and that is something that only you can decide. For some people success is earning a million dollars, for others its ten million and for others it is to be healthy, It is up to you but be honest to yourself and choose yourself instead of being affected by how society value success.
