Success to me is waking up before the sunrise and then counting the stars at night, giving my best and looking at new ways to always be, do and give more than yesterday. Happiness is simple for me, if I'm breathing and have this opportunity to live, then I'm happy. Fulfilment to me is being in full charge of my own ship with all the emotions driving it in any direction that I chose for the right reasons, and with finances then that's just something I can't judge on a grand scale but I can give some examples through my study. Finances are figures and can never give fulfilment just like not being happy in your intimate relationship can't make you fulfilled, the figures of numbers can't be sensed by our 5 senses *see, hear, smell, taste and touch* so finances have to be learned logically, rather than emotionally, but the herd think with emotion and not logic. We have to make up quick emotions to explain the figures if we don't logically learn about them and that's where I believe everyone in "the herd" goes wrong on this subject, including myself and that's why I study it! It's now best to just see things as an insider rather than an outsider on the subject as I'm not an expert on money, I just read patterns well, that's all! I smile a lot now when people tell me certain discounts, what they have bought, what title they validate their life with now or how much something is as I never see anything a person attaches to now as they are only the person without titles. Decisions determine our destiny in life is what I've learned & I used to think about things a lot, now that I've studied and continuing with this study for life and looking deeper into past experiences also with the things I now judge in the world, are all with a different logical way of thinking through experience of how wrong I was in the past, and every book and every new person I meet on this journey forward shows me how much I don't know back then and how much more I've got to learn, it's great! Everyday is a treasure hunt again in my life and I'm certainly right to know deeply by life experience as well as self study there's psychological patterns to all human behaviour in every area.
This isn't the first time I've been fit, healthy and strong with plans to do all the things that I'm doing now. I did these things as a kid, studying stars, planets and the natural world. Then I started drinking alcohol when I became a teenager, having some fights in the street growing up taught me a lot. The police (or the enemy growing up) even saved my life when I was 14 or 15 being sick after vodka, the friends I drank alcohol with left me, so why would they not stay? Common sense now! So what was the reason for me giving up on what I enjoyed so young, and why did I mess everything up? Peer pressure, to think I was standing out when I was really just fitting in, to get girlfriends and fit in with a group who didn't think much about personal power back then, we were all just kids looking for role models. So stopped thinking so much about the bigger picture to logical life and just accepted there's a football team to support, a drink to be drank, a song to be sung and a girl to have fun with in some cattle market party to go to with the rest of the herd in the emotional lifestyle of quick results. Falling victim to the herd mentality is worse than having your life shattered into a million pieces, I've had both and laugh that I chose to complain about neither now, the highest form of human maturity is taking full responsibility for you own life. Not everyone learns that part I've learned and as I've said over and over all human behaviour has patterns.
I went to prison young, 16 for having a bottle opener with a cork screw attached to the side. My first lesson of "you are who you hang out with in this world" prison was easy though and it's not like the movies of the past in modern day Britain. You got everything handed to you, even tv is classes as a necessity in Britain so you can't really lose, Buddhists monks have a tougher time or even me now (no live tv and a library instead, imagine that). Prison taught me the difference between people who say things, and the people who do things and it's been my biggest lesson growing up. (I've been locked up in Spain (black eyes and sore ribs) and Greece too (tasered), that's why I say prison is easy in the UK. Never know what you have until it's worse maybe? wee joke) I would spend a lot of my time in solitary for doing things and also discovering my strengths in doing so, being alone taught me my biggest strength (mind) and letting go is what set me free. With no outsource of the pubs, alcohol and the wrong women to celebrate those things I was free, relaxed and always in peak health looking into the mirror in my cell saying this will all make sense one day! Inside I was the best I had ever been, I got attached to the revolving door though, in shape out the door, beer leads to pretty girl and then back to prison. Every failure was aimed at the fact that I couldn't hold my own desire for a women to love me (deeper reasons and behaviour patterns of wanting that to, I learned later in life) in the times I had my freedom outside I always found it hard to focus as I was always searching to get love rather than give it, but it was never the women's fault it was my own drinking, gambling and showing materialism to get them, then once I got them I thought they loved the materialism not me (you get what you give in life). I've had a lot of women, not to boast but to tell the truth and the truth is what sets you free, but first it will make you go vegan (wee joke) when you do everything and find out what works for you then spend the remainder of your natural life doing it. For me it's fruit & vegetables, water, meditation and a good sleep in a life giving unconditional love and also accepting the same back also.
I repeated this cycle of failure over and over to find love to settle with, but not getting it is why I experience this style of unique living now. I became a father in the process of change and everything changed, well I changed really and else everything stayed the same. Things never worked with my daughters mum, we couldn't force it no matter how much we tried. I drank beer to find her and visiting the past in anyway for to long makes you just stay there, she doesn't drink anymore which I respect, she was never a big drinker as she was into her career but sometimes two people just can't settle together at that time in life and that's life and you both need to move on. But when it comes to chasing more women it all stopped then because I'm a role model to a little one and looked in the mirror again and said to myself this will all make sense one day! You ever seen the film "blow" with Johnny depp? or that one on the aeroplane when the prisoner is getting home to see his little girl and all those tough guys try and hijack the plane? Con Air! There's nothing more powerful than a fathers love, or a mans love to the right women whether it's his wife, his mum or his sister, when a man has the correct women in spirit and role model who he adores then he will never go off course because when values are in place, decisions are easy and that's unconditional love, you can find that by giving to a pet too like a dog, cat or horse, giving that unconditional love is the art of a fulfilled life I believe (my mate has a book with finding fulfilment with his dog as they can't have children, great example of living in love). The right intention in the right direction is what makes any man unstoppable, deeper intentions make the whole world surrender to him in the process also just like Gandhi. There's nothing more powerful than a made up mind, and intention is the true driving source of any action by any person. I've seen this over and over again with my own eyes, study and analysis of human behaviour and results.
By giving up everything myself for the right reasons I now live the life I once did before I drank all that alcohol as a teenager, and live the life similar to the one I did when I was in prison really except I'm outside, its really all about having that wining state of mind to outlast anything and also forever learning and progressing forward with more to give and learn on the way. You could throw 10 billion pounds and women from model shoots at me now all day long now to stop me doing what I do and I'm simply not interested. Its all about the mindset and the core values and that's what makes emotional mastery in any person. The world can't make me want what I want in the outside and neither can anyone else, I just want to give and I love unconditionally do don't do it for an outcome, it's all about the outcome. So being rich to me is a state of mind, filled with the correct reasons, food choice and a definite purpose in life to be breathing, to live deeper than what's showed on the outside. The funny thing is, some people call prison the worst days that people can ever have, I don't. I see lots of people in prisons all the time now who have everything on the outside. With a sober mind, healthy heart and non addicted life to coffee, flash things bought on credit, tv or draining negativity you are rich. Rich is simply your refusal to settle for less than you are worth, poor is the opposite. Your self worth is your choice, so as I wake up at 4am, meditate, write, drink tea, run in the dark with a headlamp then home for a hot bath. Going in any direction I chose with whoever I want, when I want, and doing whatever I want is living life on my terms in unconditional love. Also at the best ways to give back to others, the animals and the right way to do it is what I would call being rich, whether it's giving time, quotes, photographs, writing or charity of any kind from your heart. From Gandhi, mother Theresa, Alex Ferguson, Tony Robbins, Richard Branson, Cristiano Ronaldo, Serena Williams, Oprah Winfrey, Paula Radcliffe, Ajhan brahm, Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, Steve Jobs, Michael Franzese (ex Mafia) all have the same things in common.
1. You are who you hang out with in this world.
2. Love.
3. The reasons who you do what you do.
4. Never settle by always looking at new ways to grow and contribute.
I've studied people who have had it all, then lost it later in life and spent there whole life bitter or even lost there whole mind in addiction, drugs and even suicide. My writing and time is spent on prevention to these things for others and redirect then on a path to self worth, love, compassion and making then understand what being rich actually means. To break the status quo and have the self reliance of self with and unconditional love to others, animals or even just have enough peace to sit under a tree with a book in a world that tells you that you need to be something to be significant like a degree or little sticker from the teacher to tell you that you are good enough. You are good enough and you can have, be and do whatever you please *regardless of how many times you have failed in the past, your past really just makes a good chapter or two, it's not the book* it's easy to raise your hand in success, most do. But success to me is how well you live and how much love you can build after the conditioned world has thrown you to the floor, that's freedom. In the words of Aristotle "the undisciplined life is an insane life"
Why do I read so many books now? Because success leaves clues, blue prints and personal stories. When people are successful they want to share the deeper parts, the things that made them grow from rubble, to create better life around them, what led them to passion and purpose so that others don't go down the wrong paths. I think it's crazy not to pay attention to success in a world covered by unsuccessful noise of blaming someone else for their life, I look at Nelson Mandela saying goodbye to his partner to take him to his new way of living, Rubin Carter saying hate put him in prison, love took him out. I look at Tony Robbins feeding millions by selling books to Oprah Winfrey overcoming what age did, to ekhart tolle finding the mindful path, Ajhan brahm leaving everything for deeper and I think it's all the blue print of seeing a oneness with everything but attachment to nothing and that unconditional love is what sets you free, when you live for something outside of yourself.
I know if you read my blogs you will be different from the "herd" one, because it's free. Most people don't pay attention unless they pay, surrounding myself with the right people, readers and also finding the right people to give to has to be done this way. Everyone picked up the paper, looked on TV, but only those looking for the deeper meanings search further. I see people like Nelson Mandela, Tony Robbins, Michael Arnstein, warren buffet and everyone else and study deeper. Pull back the layers, pull it all to the fire to what makes them a rich. It's never really about success, it's about the intention to help others unleash their personal power and that's what I believe being rich is all about. In writing, sharing, talking in person, meeting for tea, it's a lifetime commitment to craft and mastery. Those who don't commit to the lifetime of it will chase their tale, in the words of tai Lopez "everybody wants the good life, but not everybody is willing to do what it takes to get the good life" and "stop spending money on stupid stuff, buy the smart stuff because financial success is literally that simple"
