Watched my family walk out the door as I lay on the couch drunk...they're back and I'm back with a story to tell

[DadsRise @DadsRise]

One of my biggest flaws was not being honest with myself and trying to hide the person I was

The sooner I admitted my shortcomings, the quicker I could begin fixing it

Work to do still but easier admitting my mistakes

@DadAtHelm Used to spend Monday mornings, complaining that it was Monday then planning the rest of the week.

Lost half a day doing this.

[DadsRise @DadsRise]

Monday mornings don't suck now that I plan out my week on Sunday Evenings

While you are complaining, I am completing

#MondayMotivation

It's much easier to be disciplined when you have structure

Kavanaugh - Rosenstein

All on the same day

And I'm just sitting here thinking

damn, no time for that useless shit that will take me off my path

[DadsRise @DadsRise]

It takes the exact same amount of energy to dream big as it does to think average

You will never become big; if you don't dream big

Had been feeling down about life the last little while

In my former hometown, there was a death of a young man from a motorcycle accident (23)

Looked at the obits to see if I knew he was and the first two obits were people I had a variety of interactions with

Life is short

Took out my copy of "Think and Grow Rich" to read again

It's amazing that many of today's top motivational speakers use the exact principals from that book for their clientele

Always more effective to go to the source than to receive someone else's interpretation of the source

Never underestimate having a decent understanding of Poker

Used to play weekly with my well-off buddies (who all lived at home in University)

Usually took home 60 bucks a week to help buy the groceries that weekend

When the 2016 US Election was building up, I was addicted

My mood swung as much as the polls

It's been roughly two years since the election and I have had alot of time to reflect

I was so obsessed because my life was boring and that was an escape

Helped to take back my life

My Grandpa always kept a little notepad in his front shirt pocket

Wrote everything in there and never forgot anything

If he said he would give you a dollar 6 months in the future, you would get it on that exact day he promised

[DadsRise @DadsRise]

It's easy being average

Don't have to do anything special

Don't have to say anything special

Don't have to try that hard

Noone remembers you then you die

Why do so many people choose to live an average life when the world is so great?

[DadsRise @DadsRise]

The only thing you have 100% true control over is yourself

Don't base your happiness on your ability to control the emotions of others

You will be very disappointed

[DadsRise @DadsRise]

Have been experimenting with different wake-up times and routines the last few months

And then comparing to productivity and discipline throughout the day

One simple rule fits

Chaos in the morning - chaos during the day

@geirbiscohn I was drinking alot

Have to consider that prices in Canada are much higher than US

24 Cans of Beer up here is around $45

[DadsRise @DadsRise]

After you quit drinking, there will be an immediate impact on your bank account

When you are spending well over $150 a week on take home alcohol as well as drinks at a restaurant, it makes a difference

That is over $7,500 a year

[Uncle Grey @Degenerjitz]

Being alcohol free helps you be debt free too. @DadsRise

[DadsRise @DadsRise]

Much of the money Online Entrepreneurs make,

Is from selling courses on being an Online Entrepreneur

[DadsRise @DadsRise]

Will hear countless people say that debt takes away from your future dollars

Not as many people say that a hangover takes away from your future time

[DadsRise @DadsRise]

Truly believe in having the support of a 9 to 5 job while building my secondary income sources

Some will say quit your job and concentrate full time - this is bad advice

Having that support will eliminate a significant stress while you build up your life

People who live on the water tend to live longer, happier lives

Even a fountain at your home with the sounds of trickling water will improve your mood
