To those I have ofended
I desire nothing but good relations to you; apologies for the misunderstanding that might have occurred. i desire nothing but good, and apologies for it coming out the wrong way. i may lose you along the way, but please bear in mind, that all i wanted was to be of service to you. with God in my heart and mind, i am sure all my intentions were for your wellness.
my dear friends, who i felt im losing one by one, i apologize that i cannot listen to you. i apologize for being stubborn, and for not associating with you as much anymore. i apologize if i have offended you with my philosophies and beliefs... i aim nothing but to inspire you. deep in my heart i have no desire to prove to anybody. deep in my heart, im not trying to change you.
i aim to share what i dearly believe in. on to which i apply the great things my mentors have passed on to me. i desire not to prove to you that I am better, but instead I aim for you to believe that you are just as good as I am, or even better. that you can do what others can, that we all can attain what others have attained. i apologize for coming off with a hard wall.. when we all know I am selfless, and i treasure nothing but our good friendship.
my dear friends, i do not wish for you to do things for me. i do not expect you to. i wish for you to be there in full support, whether you believe (or not believe) in what I do. my dear friends, along with God, you are in my thoughts everyday, and I aim nothing but best relationships with you. forgive me if i made you misunderstand my intentions...
but if I have to do this alone, i will do so. in time I will prove to nobody but myself that I am capable of attaining amazing things. i understand that along the way friendships will be lost, relationships be broken, communications be interrupted. but my friends, know that i am always the same person.. only with a little change in philosophies and beliefs, in goals and aspirations..
Everybody is Destined for Greatness. Now. Everyday.
I don't want the time to come when I will have to say "I could've done this, but I didn't..and now it's too late. I just watched the others climb the top, while I stayed at the bottom."
It crushes my heart when I hear people say "I can't."
I believe that everyone is destined for greater things in life, to become better than who they are right now. I have learned That I can do this, along with those who think like me, and have so much passion like me. If a success train is going, I plan on getting on board and not just watch it pass me by.
below is a video of one of my greatest mentors. 2:20-3:27 second mark says it all.
Mr. Remis YOU INSPIRE THE MANY. I AIM TO BE LIKE YOU.

Master the thinking, and the doing comes easy.
When I decided I needed to change for the better and desire something bigger than myself,
I took the first step – I changed the way I think.
To make a change in our lives comes from the desire to do so. It really is a matter of choice and not chance, and it is us who have all the power to dictate our lives. It crushes me knowing that we let other people and unfortunate circumstances control our lives, killing all the best of what we have.
To make a choice has to be quick. Change is quick, so in order for us to cope with it we need to trust ourselves enough and take a risk, be it small or big. People who have gone far with their lives were not comfortable. They definitely struggled, failed, and have almost given up.
The difference is.. They Didn’t.
I am inspired by these men and women who came from nothing but with a burning desire and such a strong passion towards success, they have overcome every single thing that came along their way. I am inspired by their dedication to help other people, to be a strong leader, to desire nothing but success of others, and yet, keeping a humble lifestyle. I am inspired by their stories, their beliefs, their philosophies, the way they treat others, and their desire to provide good service. I aim to be like them. And for me to change, I had to decide quick. and I did.
To become better than what we are now is not handed to us; we have to seek it. I have learned that for me to change, I have to change the way I look at things. I have to master the thinking and not the doing. The doing will come easy as my beliefs and desire grow. The first thing I did was to change the way I think.
I decided to look at the positive in everything I see. Instead of saying “I cant” I started saying “How can I?” I substituted the time I wasted complaining with the time to find solutions. I stopped blaming others for my circumstances and instead acknowledged my own path. I drilled it into my mind and heart that it is I who can change me. And with a right attitude, I can achieve virtually anything I want.
One day I decided I’m not blaming it on LUCK
For the longest I have wanted to leave Juneau. One day, I just got on my car and drove.
I struggled for a long time trying to make it down here. No job, only 3000 in the bank, no family, not knowing what to do.
the easiest quickest solution would have been to…. Go back to Juneau.
But I realized quickly that life doesn’t go backwards. If being in Juneau wasn’t what I wanted, why would I go back? Instead I looked for a solution.
I hustled my way into applying for any job; retail, entertainment, clinics, labs, non profits. after several many attempts i have been rejected. over and over again. I would have just quit, and went back home.
however, with the law of averages, the more apps I sent, the more chances I get. and sure enough, that one phone call did it. landed a job, a good one for that matter. from then on, going back was never an option.
So was that luck that got me a job? NO.
I decided that I will be persistent and consistent in sowing my seeds out there so I can reap them. The job was not handed to me; instead I looked for it. In life there are so many things we all aspire to do. may it be pursuing a career, passion, building a house, owning a car, whatever it may be. and why do we not attain these?
BECAUSE WE MAKE EXCUSES.
At 23 I have heard myself saying “I can’t, it’s too much, it’s too hard.” Most of the time I find myself saying these without even trying anything out just yet. How will we know if we haven't tried? How does success taste if we haven't failed?
why are we so afraid to take risks???
we humans are weird units. we tend to complicate things so we can have an excuse for anything we think we can’t attain. Bad luck they say it is.. but there is no such thing as luck. NBA players weren’t lucky. Musicians aren’t lucky. the President wasn’t lucky. All successful people weren’t lucky. They were persistent, driven, motivated, positive. It wasn’t luck for them. THEY MADE IT HAPPEN.
One day I have decided that I can do whatever it is I want, and that I can attain any goal I set. But it wont be handed to me. I will have to work for it. earn it. sweat over it. cry over it. fail my way towards it. be crushed and ridiculed for it. be rejected for it. be left alone for it. be willing to risk everything for it. be prepared for it. be judged for it.
I will have to ignore all the negativity that is out there. I have to understand that there are only a few people in the world that will think like I do, that are as ambitious as I am. as positive and motivated as I am. But I know they are out there. I just have to go find them.
I believe that everyone has dreams. I believe that everyone strives to be better than they are. everyone strives to be successful and happy.
BUT NOT EVERYONE IS WILLING TO DO IT.
We make excuses by putting the blame on all other things.. the job we hate, the economy, the people around us, our circumstances.. anything but ourselves.
where we are at now is where we wanted to be. if we do not change, for sure we will still be where we’re at for the rest of our lives.
the 24 foundation
Number #17 on my "25X25" (25 things i need to accomplish before i turn 25) is to get deeply involved in a charity.
I have chosen to get involved with my good friend's foundation called the 24 foundation (thetwentyfour.org) and i may say im so excited to be a part of it!
Self Centered, Selfish, and Insecure.
A guy I hung out with a couple times told me this two days after I told him I didnt see us together and it wasn't going to work out.
?????
if these made me selfish and self centered.................
1) i was opposed to the idea of coming to his house a lot.. the invitations were frequent.
2) i wanted him to take the lead by coming up with something to do everytime he says he wants to see me.
3) by suggesting a movie out instead of coming to his place.
4) by hesitating to hold his hand while we were watching a movie.
5) when i tripped a lil bit when he made this comment "until when are you gonna keep your lips from me." after the second time we hung out.
...... so be it. i wasnt gonna break my rules or set my standards lower just because someone is around. i'd rather wait for the one who will take his time, and do things that will make me feel cmftble.
i dont know how men do it.. but if a guy stops calling me, ill take that as "not interested." if a guy tells me its not going to work out, then it isnt going to..
i will let it go. I will not make one phone call to him and have him justify himself. it is what it is and i will move on.
getting that phone call was a little surprising to me. i justified myself a little bit but after a while i said "i got nothing else to say, man."
i admit i am sick of dating too. i wanna be with one person. i am not used to this whole dating thing.. id rather be with just one person who i can spend time with and get to know.. share laughters, and do all the corny stuff.
but that doesnt mean I will settle for just anyone who knocks on the door.
i have to like them too. if it takes a while, then ill wait.

I experienced my first physical altercation.
more like, i was attacked hahaha.
saturday, 3 am, just a street away from Out of Asia, an afterparty place off of the La Cienega exit.
me, my two girlfriends, and a guy friend were walking back to the car when a group of girls came at us saying "what you say? huh bitch?"
and because we weren't really saying anything anyway, not to them especially, we decided to brush it off and kept walking.
the bitch (pardon my language) followed us around the corner and started goin at my girl. i decided to step away coz i didnt want to be involved in this. this girl however, kept going at it being all up in my girlfriend's face and punched my girl in the face! my girl fell, and because we didnt really wanna fight (mind you, we were so loud it caught the attention of a few people around the block, and gathered around.) we decided to keep walking.
it finally settled down and as i saw my girlfriends walk away, i went ahead and caught up with them. i passed this ghetto girl's crew but didnt say nothing to them, didnt even look at them. as i was walking i didnt know she was following behind me, grabbed my hair with both of her hands and pulled me down to the ground.
what did i do?
since everything happened so fast i didnt know what to do. i got up, fixed my hair and my white dress, and kept walking. did not even look back.
i admit i was emotionally hurt by all this coz what did i do? NOTHING. and what was I able to do after? NOTHING. ugh. but i guess there just some crazy people out there who start petty fights like this just because.
i am thankful i didnt get caught up in the heat and started fighting back coz what if she had a weapon, or what if she brought her back up? what if the cops came and we were both charged? no, im not about to waste my life for this bitch. her life is probably already fucked up anyway so ill forgive her for her shortcoming.

Along with the new Business venture, came a new family.
Finally.
2010 has gone by so quickly it's rediculous. 2010 is my year. i am going to make a difference.
i am very happy that i have found a home away from home. joining my new business venture has changed me entirely; the way i look at people, life, success. it has been quite a ride, with failures and rejections, redicules, and oppositions. many have discouraged, many have broken me down.
it's definitely ON.
it's comforting to find a group of people who think like me, who are ambitious, motivated, happy, successful, positive, encouraging, helpful. it's not even about the business but now i totally understand why only a few people reach success, while the majority fail. it's a completely different mindset. if you want to be successful, you have to SERIOUSLY WANT IT.
see, success, now that i see it, is so easy to do, but it's also easy not to. it's a slight edge decision that we make everyday. to do, or not to do. there is so much negativity in the world; television, radio, just out on the streets... i chose to be away from all these negativity. this will not help me build my future.
it has also amazed me how un-ambitious people are. No dreams, no goals, no plans. why live without a dream? how hard is goal setting? why be stuck at the same position for years? why get sucked in into all these negative media? why facebook all day? why watch reality tv? why not do something productive? why not help charity? why not work out and be healthy? why not do something good, or bring good to others?
finding my new family meant i had to disassociate myself from my other friends. this doesnt mean i dont like them, but after being in this new comfort zone for me, i have changed my outlook in life. i do not carry the same conversations anymore. i barely complain. i find solutions. i dont talk about the things i cant do or cant have, instead i talk about how to do or get them.
and because i have learned that the reason why most people are unsuccessful is because they listen to the redicule of their friends, families, and neighbors.
i chose not to listen to them. and if that meant i had to disassociate a little bit, so be it.
i am happy to find my new family and new niche. i actually have a purpose now and i know where im going. in three years my life will be entirely different.
and it only took a 2 second decision to make it happen.
no looking back. only envisioning my future.

Statistics show that only 10 people will cry on your funeral.
And we will meet at least 50 thousand people during our lifetime.
Statistics also show that 50% of the people won't even go to your burial if IT RAINS.
the relevance?
We shouldn't give a damn about what others think of us. we need to quit making people that don't matter, matter [Jeff Olson].
So, if the people wont even show up to our burial or even cry to miss the lives we lived,
why should we listen to them?
Go for what you want, despite of what others may think. JUST DO IT.

HOw big are your dreams?
WE ALL NEED TO WAKE UP AND QUIT WORKING ON SOMEONE ELSE'S DREAM. IT'S TIME TO BUILD OUR OWN.
we all do not realize that we are on this rat race of paycheck-pay bills lifestyle. almost caught in this huge box formed by the upper 3% of the population, taxed by the goverment, complying tax rules made for business people. unless you are a small or a big business owner, or an investor, you will always be an employee.
and in reality, throughout history, employees are ... ready? POOR.
EXACTLY. This is why most people in the country or world are poor.
NO ONE HAS THE DESIRE TO BE RICH.
"I'm not passinoate about making more money." Bullshit. people that say this have 9-5 jobs. isnt this a contradiction?
See after going through some personal development, we people tend to say NO to anything that comes our way. we do not see the value of the opportunity handed to us. we are a society of " i will think about it, i dont think i can do it, i dont have time to do it." As young kids we always hear "No" from our parents. No this no that. this conditioning has carried on to our adult life. and look at us now. most, if not all, of us are struggling.
I wish my school or parents would have taught me the real thing. you have to work towards your passion to be successful. i wish they had taught me to become rich when I was little. I wished they told me how to have money work for me, instead of how to work for money (rich dad poor dad).
It amazes me how most people judge an ooprtunity without even knowing what it is yet. if they did have an idea, they look at the bad side of it first instead of looking at the positive results. it also amazes me that most people dont have dreams or are not ambitious enough. lastly, i am surprised that most people get so comfortable at where they are at in life. stagnant, boring, unproductive lifestyle, and never getting outside of the box.
I refuse to listen to people who told me im crazy. people who have told me its a scam.. people who didnt belive in me. people who have nothing else to say but negativity. people who have so much to say, but none of it making sense. people who are trying to redicule me. people who judge my mentors and myself. people who tell me I am wasting my time. people who do not believe in me.
why? because i truly belive that when you buy someone's opinion, you buy their lifestyle.
and i refuse to be a broke employee who lives in a cubicle, who barely makes it paycheck to paycheck, who cant take vacations. i would rather put the partying on hold and work on my new venture that i know for a fact will give me a huge return on investment.. and the partying will come soonb after i have achieved all of this.
i refuse to be all of the above. Thats why i took a different direction from the masses.
i would rather listen to someone who makes $100,000 year, than a broke neighbor.
wouldnt you?

HELLO LOVE, ARE YOU KNOCKING ON MY DOOR?
WHAT IS LOVE?
Will someone please tell me?
"I like being single." bullshit. who wants to be single? why do we go out to bars then? why do men scout on the meat market? why do we cling? why do we ask for phone numbers? why do men buy women drinks? why do we try to be pretty everyday? why do we get our shit together? why do we try to impress others? why do we buy make up? why do we buy nice clothes?
SEE, everything we do in life is because for someone we long to love.
Unconciously, we tend to pattern our daily lives for the opposite sex. May it be job, appearance, daily activities, or the way we talk, walk, and present ourselves, all of these are towards the opposite sex. whether youre single, dating, or married it doesnt matter. it is the same across the board.
I would like to believe that the universe gives us what we want. And on top of that, God gives us what we deserve. however, since we live in an instant gratification form of society, more hamburger hearts are produced everyday. poor hearts of men and women that get beat up by the emotional beating. men and women continue to seek that one person. that one who is too perfetc to be true. someone who is always better than the last person we had. someone who we feel more emotions towards.
so with that, love, i would like to ask you a few questions:
Hello love, I am sick of low quality men that I meet, the immediate need for gratification, the double dipping, the casual dating. please give me the real thing.
hello love. you are very confusing. why cant you stike a sword and break a heart if you need to, or seal a broken one with your powerful adhesive tool? why do you lead us confused and thinking? why do you show only half of yourself most of the time, or a percentage through different forms? why do you show up in different looks with if's and but's, and why do you show up next to your good friend 'like?'
hello love, will you help us by separating yourself from your friend 'Like?' will you show up at my door even with the absense of your other friends "Kiss" and "Sex?" Will you show up so soon so we dont waste any one's time? or will you show up later so you can save us from heartbreaks?
Hello love, will you show up without the money? Please help us by accepting you even if you had "kids?" will you clear our minds if we have our hearts are shared? will show up so vividly, specifically, at the right time?
hello love, will you please be perfect?

THE LINE BETWEEN SUCCESS AND FAILURE IS SO SUBTLE, PEOPLE OFTEN MISS IT.
"GEE IM GLAD I DID" OR "DARN I WISH I HAD."
WHICH KIND OF PERSON ARE YOU?
I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO JEFF OLSON FOR A GOOD HOUR A DAY. IT HAS SERIOUSLY CHANGED HOW I VIEW LIFE, SUCCESS, MONEY, FAMILY, AND MOST OF ALL, MYSELF. AT MY AGE, I THOUGHT I HAD MOST OF IT FIGURED OUT. BUT LISTENING TO HIM SPEAK MADE ME REALIZE IM SUCH A BABY. I HAVE A LONG WAYS TO GO WHEN IT COMES TO PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.
HERE ARE A FEW POINTERS I GOT FROM LISTENING TO HIM EVERYDAY:
1) SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE DO WHAT UNSUCCESSFUL PEOPLE ARE NOT WILLING TO DO:
2) YOU HAVE TO BE CORE IN ORDER TO MAKE OTHERS CORE.
3) LEARNED KNOWLEDGE -> ACTIVITY KNOWLEDGE -> BE WORTHY TO BE MODELED -> TEACHING KNOWLEDGE.

WHICH KIND OF PERSON ARE YOU?
I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO JEFF OLSON FOR A GOOD HOUR A DAY. IT HAS SERIOUSLY CHANGED HOW I VIEW LIFE, SUCCESS, MONEY, FAMILY, AND MOST OF ALL, MYSELF. AT MY AGE, I THOUGHT I HAD MOST OF IT FIGURED OUT. BUT LISTENING TO HIM SPEAK MADE ME REALIZE IM SUCH A BABY. I HAVE A LONG WAYS TO GO WHEN IT COMES TO PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.
HERE ARE A FEW POINTERS I GOT FROM LISTENING TO HIM EVERYDAY:
1) SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE DO WHAT UNSUCCESSFUL PEOPLE ARE NOT WILLING TO DO:
2) YOU HAVE TO BE CORE IN ORDER TO MAKE OTHERS CORE.
3) LEARNED KNOWLEDGE -> ACTIVITY KNOWLEDGE -> BE WORTHY TO BE MODELED -> TEACHING KNOWLEDGE.
4) MASTER THE MUNDANE. PATIENCE PAYS.
5) ASSOCIATE MORE WITH THE PEOPLE WHO THINK LIKE YOU DO. DISASSOCIATE WITH THE ONES WHO ARE NEGATIVE.
6) JUST DO IT.

Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. - Jeff Olson
What really is success?
I came to realize that the we all are preconditioned to go to school so we can find a good job when we graduate. but, most successful people are not even college graduates. some, never even went to school.
I now believe that education is not the answer. PASSION and BURNING DESIRE are the answers.
In "think and grow rich" by Napoleon Hill, burning desire is the most important reason why people are successful in what they want to do. Not education. Not the diploma. And most certainly, not the thousand dollars debt.
This is exactly why 97% of the world work for the higher 3%, despite the number of educated people that graduate annually. education, dont get me wrong is quite important, if not very important, to attain. however, I came to realize that in college, we are taught to graduate. I wish there was a course for "how to make money" or "how to receive opportunity" or "this is how to attain financial freedom."
I see around me that people are working to make other people's dream come true, and not theirs. at 23, I am greatful to have come to this lesson because I would not want to keep working for someone when I can invest my time in my passion, or my goals. Being financially free is probably the ultimate dream, encomapassing a "job" that requires no boss or no schedule. No pink slips, no moody cubicle mates. At 23 however I am still greatful to even have a job. because I know the rest of the world are still struggling.
If i was to have a kid I will teach them one important thing: work on what your passion is. At an early age i will expose them to different opportunities out there, and help them figure what it is they want to be when they grow up. I will then invest all I have towards that passion. As a kid I didnt have this chance. So I will not let this happen to my future family either.
so what really is success? is it financially? having a family? having fancy cars?
I think it's doing what you love to do, and seeing an outpour of positive results, while helping other people attain their goals on the way.
