The Hustle of the Betterment of Self

Attempting to outdo
yourself every day can be the most difficult task one will ever embark on. If I use myself as an example, waking up in the morning is the most demanding area of my life. Why? Because the question of, "What are you going to do today, Nick?" races through my mind as soon as I take that first conscious breath. I'm forced to focus on the concept of, "Yesterday was yesterday, fella. Today is right now and tomorrow may not come, so what are you going to do about it?" I try to get upset with myself wondering why I do this every morning, but I'm aware of the answer. There's a hustle of betterment that calls from within the depths of me that will not allow rest upon past accomplishments to become my demise.

There's a saying in the music business that states, "You're only as good/relevant as your latest hit," and it's with that concept that I must make every day a "hit record". I must remain dominant in the minds of others, and most importantly, in the mind of myself. There can never be a moment where I feel as if I've done something that will grant me the ability to take a day off. There are no days off for those whom possess the mindset of a betterment-of-self hustler. Now, of course you're human, so you will have moments of downtime (which will be needed), but the focus must never slack.

For example: While on a vacation there are books that can be read (or listened to) or an insightful documentary that can be watched before you go to bed or before you start the day. There's never an excuse to take a day off from the betterment-of-self hustle.

As mentioned before, this can be the most daunting task one will experience, but understand that you are leveraging a difficult task against the knowing that you are becoming the best version of yourself. No task, no matter how difficult, is worth coming between the empowerment of self. Start using every moment of everyday to perform your absolute best at "out-hustling" yesterday's version of you.

Money Is Energy

. . . and How to Amplify It Everything in our lives is made up of energy — including our thoughts, words, and emotions. Money is an expression of energy and how you choose to consciously think, feel, spend, and save your money determines how much (or how little) you will have of it. Most of us are raised to believe that there isn’t enough money, that you have to work hard to make any money, or that there’s never enough of it to go around. These beliefs become ingrained in us and ultimately create our subconscious money stories, aka limiting money beliefs. And since our subconscious mind runs our life about 95 percent of the time, meaning that only 5 percent of our existence is from our actual conscious mind, it’s no surprise that most of us don’t have the healthiest relationship with money. Growing up, I was taught that money was hard to come by, being rich meant you were bad or selfish, and no matter how much you had, something bad would happen so you’d end up losing it quickly. And t

It can get worse. It can get better.

A good friend of mine reached out to me with the following: "My favorite massage teacher in the whole world used to say, "If it can get worse, it can get better." and I want to hear your story about that." This is where my understanding is at the moment: How we see a situation is based on our judgment of it. And, whether we know it or not, we’re always judging. Consequently, we give a situation a path to a certain outcome based on the energy we give it with our judgment. So, if we see a situation as bad, then we give it permission and momentum to develop in that direction. And if we see a situation as a doorway to better possibilities, then our thoughts direct creative energy to the situation; guiding it to evolve in the direction of our beliefs. Over the last few years a creed developed for me that still stands unchallenged by my experiences. A set of three “rules”. The first two don’t pertain to the topic at hand, but the third is:
