Do It Anyway Do you know how to overcome an obstacle, even when you’re scared? Do it anyway. What if you’ve never tried it before? Do it anyway. What if the odds are stacked against you? Do it anyway. What if the haters say you can’t? Forget the haters and Do it anyway. The only guaranteed failure is when we fail to try. It’s time to let go of your emotional baggage and limiting beliefs. They’ve held you back for long enough. Quit focusing on what could go wrong and Do It Anyway. Your dreams are worth the risks. Definition of Órale Do you know what Órale means? It’s Spanish slang and the definition depends on the inflection of your voice. For example, “Órale” means “all right, right on, and sounds good.” Alternatively, “Órale” means “come on, hurry up, and let’s go.” This is not to be confused “Órale” which means “yeah right, gimme a break, and get outta here.” While there are too many definitions to cover here, this is precisely why I chose “Órale” for the company name as it exemplifies the versatility needed for success. Cause sometimes you need to be agreeable, sometimes you need motivation, and sometimes you need to call b.s. Personal Manifesto I love life. I am an eternal optimist and I believe in grace, forgiveness, hope, and change. I love, love, love my wife. I strive to Inspire, Empower, & Engage others to follow their dreams and live abundantly passionate lives. I would rather have only what I need, than everything I want. I teach because education is the great equalizer. I practice 2nd Chances and do-overs. I believe gratitude is the secret to happiness. I am convinced that all the problems in the world could be solved if Men would simply assume a role of responsibility, accountability, and sacrificial leadership in their families and communities. I fight to put God first, my wife second, my children / family / friends third, and myself last. I am a connoisseur of cold beer and hot wings. I make mistakes often and do my best to learn from them quickly. I will Go Big or Go Home. I aim to make the world a better place, one interaction at a time. I trust #GodAlwaysProvides Don’t Compare Yourself to Others Do you let other people’s success stop you from trying? Most people compare their level of progress with others and get discouraged because they think they should be further along. Unfortunately, they forget to compare their minimal efforts with the insane amount of work others put in. Comparison is a losing battle. Successful people only compare themselves with where they were yesterday. Making forward progress, no matter how slow, is all that matters. Don’t let your made-up expectations hinder your momentum. We all go at our own pace. 4 Stages of Life Ownership Do you know the Four Stages of Life Ownership? The first stage is when your parents own your life. The second stage is when you take ownership from your parents by getting off their payroll and you give that ownership to your job, because now you’re on the corporate payroll. The third stage comes when you take ownership back from your job because you decide to no longer be defined by money or titles. And the forth stage is when you realize that your life was never meant to be yours and you graciously give it to whatever community you serve, be it your family, your church, or your life’s calling. My life is not my own. You Are Enough Do you know that you are enough? Good enough, strong enough, smart enough, and brave enough? You’re good enough to try, strong enough to handle setback, smart enough to keep getting better, and brave enough to overcome your fear. You’ll never be perfect, so it doesn’t make sense to wait until you are. The time to start is now. No more excuses. No more delays. You are worthy of chasing your dreams. Written on Your Tombstone Do you know what you want written on your tombstone? Is it business related like “Founder” or “Entrepreneur” or will it be community related like “Family Man” or “Friend”? If, God forbid, you died today, what inscription would your actions for the last year inspire? “Sickest Kicks”, “Dope Foreign”, or “Blue Checkmark”? Successful people play the long game. They’re not focused on the fleeting status symbols of today. They’re obsessed with winning the next year, the next decade, and the next generation of their life. Forget the trends. It takes a lifetime to leave a legacy. Definition of Courage Do you know the definition of Courage? Courage isn’t an absence of fear, courage is being scared and doing it anyway. Successful people aren’t fearless. The just don’t let their fear hold them back from the abundant life that is waiting for them outside of their comfort zone. Personal growth happens when we try things that scare us, when we determine that the reward is worth the risk, and when we believe that if other people can try and fail and try again, then we can too. It’s ok to be scared. It’s not ok to let fear stop you from chasing your dreams. If Just One Person Benefits… Do you know if these videos positively impact just one person, then I believe all of my efforts will have been worthwhile? Of course I’m hoping to have a huge impact on tens of thousands of people, but each individual possesses such world changing potential that just one is actually more than enough. Especially since we never know when we’re talking to the parents or grandparents of the next Cesar Chavez or MLK. We’re all links in the chain of each others success, so when one of us wins, we all win. A rising tide lifts all boats. Talk is Cheap. Actions Speak. Do you know talk is cheap and actions speak? If someone says they want something with their words, but their actions don’t match, then they don’t really want it. On the other hand, successful people don’t make wishes, they make plans! They set goals that are inline with their priorities and then follow through until they accomplish their objectives. The reality is that you can have anything you want in this life, you just have be willing to sacrifice for it. Like Olympic Champion Steve Prefointaine once said “Somebody may beat me, but they are going to have to bleed to do it." Be Kind to Yourself: No More Negative Self-Talk Do you know most people are way harder on themselves than they are on others? Rather than encouraging themselves with uplifting quotes, they remind themselves of every mistake they’ve ever made. Then they make up stories about how their hopes and dreams are too big and that they should just stay in their lane. On the contrary, Successful people work hard to reject limiting beliefs and feed their minds with stories of people who accomplished greatness in the face of adversity. Be kind to yourself and fill you mind with stories of hard work and triumphs. Same Amount of Faith Do you know everyone has the same amount of faith? The only difference is where we put that faith. Some people put their faith in Jesus or Mohammad, while others put their faith in the stock market, science, government, or themselves. Simon Sinek says “People don’t buy what you do, people buy why you do it. People don’t buy what you do, they buy what you believe. What you do only proves what you believe.” Regardless what faith tradition they come from, Successful people believe there is good in the world and they become the good where they see it lacking. Community is Everything Do you know that fame, fortune, status, and success are all worthless, unless you have someone to share them with. Life’s happiest moments always involve community. From family vacations and weddings to holiday celebrations and birthday parties, life is meant to be shared. Sure, happiness can found in solitude, but the happiest times always involve others. We have a saying in my family: “Sabe mejor cuando se comparte” - “It tastes better when it’s shared.” This goes for the good times and the bad. Because Community is Everything. 168 Hours / Week Do you know everyone has the same 168 hours in a week? Yet some people are able to run successful businesses, raise healthy families, and train for triathlons while others struggle to get their laundry done. This is because successful people know what they want, why they want it, and what it will take to make it happen. You can sleep 8 hours/night, work 8 hours/day, and still have 56 hours/week of free time. If you’re not dedicating at least an hour a day toward your chasing your dreams because “you don’t have enough time”, you need to stop lying to yourself. We all have the same 168 hours. Emotions Can’t Be Trusted Do you know your emotions can’t be trusted? If everyone trusted their emotions, people would be fighting in the streets, sobbing in the check out lines, or literally shouting their love from the rooftops. Emotions are real and they must be felt and processed, but they should rarely be acted on. Successful people control their emotions by intentionally focusing their attention on the most beneficial aspects of every situation. Remember: Emotions are a result of your focus. If you want to endless motivation to accomplish your goals, you have to control your emotions. We're Not in High School Anymore Do you know most people spend the entirety of their 20s unlearning the nonsense of high school? While some people never out grow the hallway gossip and toxic pressure to fit in, successful people are comfortable in their own skin and relentlessly chase their dreams, regardless of what other’s think. Cause we’re not in high school anymore! You don’t need permission to go the bathroom or to live your most abundant life. Like the Alchemist says: “When you desire something, the whole universe conspires to help you achieve it.” Investments vs Liabilities Do you know the difference between Investments vs Liabilities? Investments have the potential to increase in value, while Liabilities will only ever decrease in value. So while buying a house is an investment, the things that go into a house like sofas, TVs, and hot tubs are all liabilities. Remember this the next time one of your friends talks about “investing” in a new pair of headphones or some designer jeans. Those aren’t investments, they’re liabilities. And while real estate and stocks are the most common investments, the best investment is an investment in your own personal development. The End is Near. Don’t Waste Your New Beginning! Did you know that the end is near? The end of the month, the end of the season, the end of the year, the end of your 20s, 30s, or 40s. No matter where we are in life, we’re always near the end of something. But every end leads to a new beginning! One relationship ends and a new one begins. One job ends and like it or not, you have to get another job! Don’t waste these new beginnings… Begin with goal, a plan, and an accountability partner to ensure a successful outcome! New beginnings are your chance to do it better. Successful People Have Coaches & Mentors Do you know the main reason people don’t accomplish their goals? Because they lack guidance and accountability. Rather than following experts, they take relationship advice from single friends and financial advice from get-rich-quick hucksters. Then they wonder why they can’t get ahead. On the other hand, an Effective Mentor & Success Coach will help you clearly define your goals, discover why you must achieve them, and determine the most efficient actions to take. Most importantly, they will hold you accountable. All Successful people stand on the shoulders of giants. Healthy people don't argue with strangers in the Comments Do you know that healthy people don’t argue with strangers in the comments? If someone replies to your post with an encouraging thought or asks a question, that’s awesome! But if someone you don’t know responds with negativity, they are either a troll looking for attention or they’re just not in a healthy state. Healthy people either work to understand different perspectives or they agree to disagree and move on. Unhealthy folks hide behind their keyboards and spew vile they don’t have the courage to stay in public. Ignore the trolls. Forget the haters. Love as a Currency Do you know most people use Love as a currency? They regularly trade love for attention, sex, and material goods, but will also withhold love if they’re not getting what they want. But that’s not real love. By definition, Love is meant to be given unconditionally. Love is patient, kind, and never-ending. It isn’t proud, or jealous, or boastful. Love keeps no record of wrongs. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, and don’t let other people be reckless with yours. Love is NOT a currency. Normalize Failure to be Do you know the best way to learn a new skill is by failing? I can watch Steph Curry shoot threes all day, but that won’t make me a great shooter. To succeed, you have to try, and whenever you try something new you will definitely fail. And that is perfectly fine! Fail, fall down, make a mess, then start over, fail less, and try again. Most people are so scared of failing that they won’t even try, whereas successful people constantly fail. They just fail fast and move on, rather than dwelling on their failures. To be successful, you must normalize failure. Say "I Heard", Not "You Said" Do you know that to solve a miscommunication rather than make it worse, all you have to do is say ’I Heard’ instead of ‘You Said’… “Yes baby, I’m sure you did say that we were supposed to meet at 4pm, unfortunately I heard 5pm.” With that, both sides accept that miscommunications happen and we refrain from blaming each other over a literal “he said/she said” case that can’t be proven anyway. Sure, somebody messed up, but if it wasn’t intentional it’s unnecessary to make a big deal of it. So say ‘I Heard,’ Not ‘You Said’. First Generation My parents immigrated to the U.S. as newly-weds, so my siblings and I couldn’t go to them for help when we struggled to navigate American schools, jobs, and culture. It was all new to the them too! As first generation Americans, we regularly have to learn societal norms the hard way as experienced mentors are hard to find. That’s why Órale Success seeks to help young professionals / entrepreneurs from underrepresented communities achieve unlimited success by sharing valuable strategies so you don’t have to make the same mistakes. As Tony Robbins says, “Success leaves clues.” Never miss a chance to learn from other peoples journey. Do Not Worry Do NOT Worry! Do not worry about your life, or about food, clothes, or shelter. Look at the bird of the air and the flowers of the fields - The do no work, yet God cares for them. Are you not much more valuable than they?! God knows what you need. Just follow His greatest commandment of loving your neighbor as yourself and he will always provide for you. Definitely work hard toward your goals, but do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Secret to Hapiness Do you know that happiness isn’t a choice? If it were, why wouldn’t everyone just choose to be happy all the time? Instead, so many folks are angry, depressed, and anxious. This is because happiness is not a cause, it’s an effect. Your emotions are a result of your attention and focus. If you focus on negativity, you’ll end up angry or depressed. If you focus on finding the good in your life, you’ll also find happiness. Being grateful is the secret to happiness. Be grateful, cause grateful people are happy. You Belong, Even if You Don’t Fit In Do you know you belong, even if you don’t fit in? I always thought if I didn’t fit in with a group then I didn’t belong, but that’s just not true. If it were true, then why did God make us all so different? So we’d spend all our time trying to look and be like each other? That’s boring. It might have taken me over 40 years to learn, but I now know that belong wherever I choose to be, and so do you, regardless of whether we fit in. Anybody who says different is just projecting their insecurities. We all belong, just as we are. Definition of Luck Do you know the definition of luck? Luck is when Preparation and Opportunity meet Good luck is when Opportunity shows up and you’re ready to take full advantage of it. And Bad Luck happens when Opportunity arrives and you’re caught flat-footed. Thomas Edison said that “Opportunity is missed by most people because it shows up wearing overalls and looks like hard work.” Success is yours for the taking, but it’s not free! It costs time and effort! You’ve got to put yourself in the zone to get lucky
