Reviewing Journal from December 2015 - Quotes & Reflections

Hey everyone,

Happy New Year!!!



I was looking at my journal today and reviewing what I have been focused on for December and what I'm thinking about for 2016.  This is mostly a random assortment of thoughts

"He would rise earlier, train harder, and stay longer than anyone else.  On those days when he didn't feel like giving 100 percent, he forced himself to give 120." from Dean Karnazes on his mentor Jack McTavish from "Ultramarathon Man" by Dean Karnazes

"Two roads diverged in a wood and I took the one less traveled by." Robert Frost

I've had a lot of goals that I wanted to accomplish and I want to accomplish and I feel I've fallen short.  Although there are a lot of things I probably never thought I would have achieved that I've been able to achieve.

I've been really into Grant Cardone's content lately.  I really admire his level of thinking especially the 10X Rule.  I'm still working on implementing the 10X actions.  I feel I can think big but the part I need to work on is the actions.  Executing on more than I know I need to do.
Don't make a habit of quitting.

I went to Nashville, TN in November.  It was an amazing experience.  I saw the Country Music Hall of Fame.  I also got a chance to see where Elvis recorded over 200 songs.  That was one of my favorite things from the trip.  Also hanging out with my girlfriend Kayla.

I've been doing a morning routine The Miracle Morning for 90 days now.  I've made a lot of progress in my mentality.  The biggest thing I need to work on is executing on income producing activities.  One of the things I love most about the Miracle Morning is it makes me excited to wake up in the morning.  I look forward to each of the habits that I get to do in the morning.  I've really gotten into meditation in the last month.  I read the book Success Through Stillness by Russell Simmons.  It goes through the whys behind meditation and all the benefits and it made me think I would be crazy not to implement meditation.
I am still working on getting in 2 meditations a day.  Right now I've been pretty consistent with meditation for 20 minutes for about 3 weeks now.
What you put into it is what you get out of it.

One thing that has gotten me really excited is thinking about what I want for 2016 and what I want for my future.  I get excited thinking about my goals and how to accomplish them.

One of my goals is to create more posts on this blog.  I also want to be able to develop online business ideas that I can execute on.  I want to put myself in a better financial position.  I want to be able to travel the country and world playing music.  I also want to grow my social media presence.  I want to be able to buy several houses.

Don't sell yourself short.
Don't settle for less than you know you're capable of.
You can do anything you put your mind to.
Push through adversity.
Push through doubt

"If you're going to doubt something, doubt your limits."

Just wanted to give an update of what I've been up to and some things I'm thinking about.

I've also put some books that I've read in the month of November and December.

I may do a summary of each at some point later.

Peace,
Josh
