You don't need to wait for the future in order to create the life of of your dreams. Why not now? A lot of people spend so much time focusing on what they want their desired future to look like, that they never take action in order to make it a reality.

If you wait for the perfect opportunity to arrive in order to change your life, time will pass you by. Peter Drucker, the legendary father of modern management, approached the future with a forward-focused mindset, as something to be created and nurtured in the present moment.

Many of us get so caught in planning our goals, that we forget to enjoy the present moment, which is where true happiness resides.

In the words of Robert Kiyosaki, “Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow.” Each day is a new opportunity to build your desired future. Forget about tomorrow. What are you going to do today in order to change your life?

I believe that every area of life affects one another. If you neglect one dimension, it will negatively impact the others. True personal growth and development are all about balance.

I am passionate about life mastery, so much so that I built a brand around this concept. I believe that mastery is an ongoing process. In order to create your desired future, you need to master every area of your life. Why not now? Doing so will ensure that you are making progress toward your goals.

More importantly, it will give you momentum to keep moving forward, knowing that you are growing and expanding into the future. This is when life becomes extraordinary.

This is what masters do. They understand the value of repetition, knowing that in order to become great at anything in life they need to do something multiple times and internalize information on a deep level.

The only thing that holds people back from living in alignment with their highest selves is self-limiting beliefs. Successful people ask themselves questions that empower them and support them in finding answers and solutions to their problems. This is one of the best ways to overcome negative belief systems.

In his book Awaken the Giant Within: How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial Destiny!, Tony Robbins shares many examples of the power of questions.

For example, instead of asking, “Why can’t I create the future that I want?”, ask yourself, “Why not now?” Why can’t you take action today in order to experience the joy and fulfillment that you desire?

In today’s world, the only constant is change. Nobody can predict what will happen tomorrow. You and only you have the power to shape the direction that your life will take.

In the words of Abraham Lincoln, “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” Why not now? Your future self will thank you for it.

I would like to share with you how to grow spiritually by expanding your consciousness. By definition, consciousness is the state or quality of awareness. It is what allows us to experience and react to the world.

For decades, philosophers and scientists have been trying to solve the mind-body problem of consciousness. Conscious awareness is one of the most puzzling facets of the human brain.In the words of David Chalmer, “Our consciousness is a fundamental aspect of our existence, but at the same time it’s the most mysterious phenomenon in the universe.” 

As human beings, we have the power to expand our consciousness. This means opening ourselves to new possibilities, reconnecting with our inner selves, and freeing ourselves from limiting beliefs that have been holding us back from happiness and fulfillment.

Each of us moves through our own personal path to increased spiritual growth. Are you ready to grow spiritually by expanding your consciousness? This is the first step towards a brighter and more abundant life.

Rasheed Ogunlaru once said, “It’s not the world that needs to change – it’s our consciousness we must raise.” In order to understand how to grow spiritually by expanding your consciousness, you need to have an awareness of what the 4 levels of consciousness are:

1. Egocentric

The identity at the egocentric level is purely focused on the Self. When we are born, we are dependent on another human being for survival. Because of this, this identity does not notice other peoples’ needs. At this level, growth requires acknowledging oneself in relation to others. If one doesn’t make the next step, the result is a feeling of emptiness and lack of fulfillment.

2. Ethnocentric

At this level, the identity expands to a feeling of empathy and connection with others close to them. Although this identity is more selfless in its nature, care for others doesn’t expand beyond family and friends.

3. World-centric

At this level of consciousness, the identity cares about humanity at large, holding the belief that we are all the same. These types of people give back, because they are passionate about serving. These are the Mother Teresa’s and Nelson Mandela’s of the world. They know that if they want to evolve and grow, they have to grow and give to others.

4. Spirit-centric

This level of consciousness moves beyond about mere humanity and experiences a sense of responsibility and empathy for all living things.

Do you want to know how you can expand your consciousness? Care more. That is why I love business. It is a spiritual practice. To truly succeed in business, you need to raise your consciousness. You need to put others’ needs above your own.

When you care about something greater than yourself, you expand who you are, because it’s not about YOU anymore, Rather, it’s about serving the greater good.

For example, I have to take care of my mind and body, because I need to take into account my higher purpose, which is life mastery. I want to be a role model for others, so I need to be in alignment with my world-centric level of consciousness.

My greatest quality that has allowed me to achieve so much success in my life is my desire to care for and give to others. I wake up every day and ask myself, “How can I serve others and make a positive impact in the world?” In the words of Gary Zukav, “Spiritual growth requires the development of inner knowing. It requires the heart, not the intellect.” Drop our of your head and into your heart. Reconnect with your inner self and be open to life’s possibilities.

I challenge you to observe where your consciousness feels blocked or limited. The beauty of life is that, as human beings, we have the power to let go of disempowering beliefs at any moment, and replace them with more empowering ones. When you grow spiritually by expanding your consciousness, you raise your vibration, thereby awakening to a new, more fulfilled sense of reality.

Do you want to know how I hit emotional threshold and changed my life? We all cope with emotions in different ways, based in part on our nature and how we are conditioned to respond to challenges in our environments.

John Medina, author of New York Times Bestseller, Brain Rules: (Updated and Expanded): 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School, says that each of us has a unique reaction to stress, which makes it difficult to quantify it.

An emotional threshold is the tipping point at which we perceive a stimulus, threatening or not, and act on it. Depending on the situation, sometimes we have the ability to effectively manage our emotions and make rational decisions, while other times our emotions overpower us, which ends up dictating our decisions.

Research consistently shows that the skill of self-regulation is necessary for reliable emotional well-being. Your emotional threshold can expand or contract throughout your life. If you want to master your life learning how to express, experience, and regulate your emotions needs to be at the top of your list. Are your emotions driving you or destroying you?

When I was in high school I was a very shy, introverted kid, who was obsessed with video games. The online gaming world satisfied my nature and provided me with a comfortable means of non-human enjoyment. I felt safe not having to interact with others in social settings, because that is what made me most anxious.

I was also a very sensitive kid, so when I fell head over heels in love with a girl and she broke my heart, I was devastated. The pain from that experience was a wake-up call. I didn’t want to live a life of suffering, so I made a decision to change my life. Between the ages of 19-21, I would force myself to go out to clubs.

I didn't want to drink and party, but rather I wanted to place myself in these uncomfortable situations so that I would force myself to engage with others and develop the social skills that I desired. I knew that if I placed myself in enough uncomfortable situations, I would eventually get comfortable being uncomfortable. Actions like these are what drove me to improve my social skills, mindset, and confidence.

I remember another experience that made a large impact on the direction that my life would take. At the beginning of my online business, I was really struggling financially. During this time, I was in traveling throughout Cambodia and one day I felt compelled to give back to the people. I gave $20 to one of the poverty-stricken children that were begging on the side of road. Once I gave the money to the child, about 30 other children surrounded me and asked for money as well.

That was a life changing moment for me because I realized that I never wanted to be in a position in my life where I couldn’t give. From that day forward, I made a decision that I never wanted to live from a place of scarcity because it had created so much pain and worry in my life. Life is meant to be lived to the fullest, and so I set out on a journey to create the life that I desired.

One day I looked at myself in the mirror and said, “Enough is enough.” The pain that I was experiencing motivated and inspired me to shift the way that I was living, and take the steps necessary in order to change my life and achieve success. These were the experiences that led me to hit emotional threshold and changed my life!

Many people are victims to their emotions and believe that they have no control over how they feel. I used to adopt this scarcity mentality, but once I realized that only I am in control of my choices, everything in my life changed. Most people cover things up because they don’t want to face the reality of their lives, and they make it acceptable to settle. If you can get to the truth, you can change anything.

If you want to have a larger emotional threshold, you need to learn how to channel negative energy into something positive. Condition your mind so that you approach challenges in life with a proactive mindset. When you do, you will master your emotional state and feel more in control of your life.

In the words of Paul Wong, “The biggest challenge to self-control is emotional regulation. Successful people know how to make their emotions their servants rather than their masters.”
