- Does it matter?

I have spent the last day truly cleaning, and eliminating objects of minutia. Doing a clean sweep. I have scaled my life down to this simple list.
1.Computer
2.Clothes
3. Books

I threw out everything that wasn't mission critical for my task at hand. All that crap that we keep in random boxes, drawers, or on shelves that we say we will put to good use, never gets used. I'm talking all my bulky CD's, DVD's, papers, magazines, articles, notebooks, binders, and yes even a jump rope.
 
Everything that was on CD or DVD i can get online, or rip to my computer. All those papers with all that useless information that i say i'll get to one day, and never do. Gone.

Anything that can't be stored digitally is not important, and anything that doensn't have to do with completing your main objective is trivial. All those trivial activities, pertaining to school, day job, errands, whatever, 90% or more of it can be eliminated. You have to ask yourself, "is this really important?" usually it's not. Any physical objects that aren't absolutely required for your highest output activites are just taking up space.

This is a very liberating process. Of course some of these useless objects will tug at your heartstrings for a few minutes, but once its in the recycle bin, you feel really, really good about having one less Our lady Peace cd case around.

When you eliminate the things that need to be eliminated (which is almost everything) you can focuse on the one task that you need to be focusing on. For me, my mission critical is spreading the message of the world class brand i represent. That's it. My day job is merely something that i put up with until my love child is producing sufficiantly to allow me to walk away from the job. Which is soon. But that is only because i have eliminated all the static that sits between me and my goal. Now the only static left is the static in my brain, God help us all...

- Rare individuals

Here are a few of the blogs i read that contribute to my intense sessions of dancing in the mirror every morning (out of excitement mind you), and really keep the juices flowing for me.

1. Seth Godin's blog
A-lot of you may know about this one. If you do not read Seth's blog on a daily basis, for the love of god start. The man is an idea-gusher and one takes far more than marketing tactics away from each post.

2. Robin Sharma's blog
Robin Sharma is ranked #2 in the top 30 leadership guru's, with Tom Peter's and Jack Welch. He is a witty writer and writes on leadership and self-development. His book, "The Greatness Guide" is one of the few books i have read that screams to be read again and again.

3. Blog of Tim Ferris
Tim Ferris is the author of "The Four Hour Work Week" quite possibly one of the greatest manifestations of uber-excellent ideas on the planet. His Posts are long, and come every three days or so, but this blog is the epitome of lifestyle design info.

- Construct your empire

I am convinced. The reason we exist is to resonate with the world, and utilize the unique energy that resides within us. Whether or not you agree with me is another matter. But if you try to argue against the fact that this is prominent in our pursuits in life....i guess things look differently when you live under a bridge.

The message here is this: "Construct the empire in your mind."
You are the contractor, foreman, and builder of your life vision. Now here's the question. Are you a decent builder, a good builder, or an excellent builder?
Think about the quality of materials you are putting into your life project. How closely do you watch what you say, think, and do? The path of an excellent builder is one who is world class at life. This means mastering your mind, your mouth, and your body.
A good source to start doing that is books. Or really A book. Read, The Four Hour Work Week, by Tim Ferris. Please. www.fourhourworkweek.com

To not align every thought that goes through your head with the pursuit of some worthwhile goal is insanity ( sometimes I'm quite insane).
Action on a secondly basis is the goal. And THAT is absurd, but absurdity is the realm in which we need to dwell in.

"those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible."
