One of my favorite stories is the story of Sylvester Stallone and how he broke through in the Movie Industry……If you haven’t heard it I have attached the link for you.
Video of Nick Vujcic ; amazing story of overcoming physical and emotional odds on a daily basis
Steve Jobs ; Stanford Commencement Speech ; I know this has been sent all over but it’s such a great message of adversity and following the road less traveled

Thanks for watching and if you have any comments you would like to share please do below. Thanks again and have a great day.
Hope everyone is doing well out there, wanted to share a great way to keep and develop ideas.
I was at a wedding last weekend and was speaking with my date about ideas that would help a newlywed during a reception. We ended up thinking of an idea that I loved; thankfully I had my handy dandy moleskin with me to write it down. I wrote it down at the beginning of the reception and kept writing details about the idea during the reception (don’t worry my date was cool with it :-)). This happens to me more often than not and is a good lesson on how to utilize and implement ideas.Several years ago I read the Magic of Thinking Big. In that book one of the points I took out of it was to always have a way to record ideas. It seems to me that the best ideas occur to me when I least expect them to. That’s why I am a big proponent of creating space in your life to think and ponder. You will probably find as I have when you have free time to think ideas will start flowing because it’s as if your mind works best for ideas when at ease rather than pressure. You can buy a little notebook (my personal favorite) or some people use their phone (palm pre , iphone, etc.) to write down these ideas. Whatever you do just make sure to write them out in detail when you have them and look back at them.
The key is to go back to these ideas are written and expound on them. You will find that most of your ideas aren’t useful but you will find a great idea that you can work with to make money , make a difference, be more efficient, etc. Isn’t one great idea all Microsoft, Apple, Mark Cuban , Henry Ford , Thomas Edison needed?
The idea for chaiwisdom came out of one of these mini-notebooks I carry around….try it for yourself and comment below on how it has helped you.
I saw this video today while I was working on my computer. If you don’t know who Gary Vaynerchuk is I have attached his profile here. The whole idea of legacy being greater than currency is important to remember right now.
Many times people just want to make currency and forget to build their legacy. Are you building a legacy or just currency?

Thanks for the encouraging comments I have received to keep video blogging. I have done this second episode on the ideas of Visualization and Dreaming.
It’s important to dream of a better future for yourself and others and putting goals with a date on it. Goals are meant to create the drive in you to do more than you think possible.
Warning : Don’t get me wrong it’s not about materialism. Materialism is when material objects define who you are ; you should already know who you are and things should never define you.
To some people that enjoy riding the BMW or Mercedes top down on a beautiful day going above the speed limit focus on day being able to do that. If donating your time to a specific religious or charity organization drives you than focus on doing that one day. Maybe it’s spending time with your family or spending time with someone you love.
Have a wonderful day and comment with your thoughts.
