Mike Meyer, eating frustration

I eat every feeling of frustration, shame, inadequacy and guilt. 

Deep in my gut it grinds and boils until it reconstitutes as propelling energy.

Always more, always higher, always to the next level.

Mike Meyer, be productive

Be productive. 

Hiding out, taking it easy are seductive, at times necessary and enjoyable. But when it is time to work I need to get on it and in it fast. My task is to recognize the times productivity is needed, dial it in, produce. Then I can truly relish the hiding out when able.,

Mike Meyer, a beautiful mess

I make a good life. I tell a good story. I have made a beautiful mess. 

Mike Meyer, the future is forward

Backwards is never the right move. 

Sometimes when I feel safe a vulnerably indulge the thought but physically positioning myself to return to past places or jobs is a mistake. The future is forward. Past stories have already been told. 

Mike Meyer, healthy arrogance

I possess healthy arrogance. 

Innate confidence in my ability, validation from my place, task and title. 

Mike Meyer,Tend the vehicle

I am constantly sweeping up, cleaning, rebuilding my attitude and persona. My work and my walls can be swept aside by the slightest things. A perceived slight, physical exhaustion, I even awaken from deep rich sleep feeling vulnerable. My life is tending my attitude. Like a vehicle that must be maintained for top perferornsnxe. 

Mike Meyer, make it good, mike

I am what I say I am. Every moment, every second, every thought in my head shapes my self perception. It is my responsibility to write the strongest character possible. I am not a victim. Nothing happens to me I can't control. The blast of circumstances may be strong but I can find peace and position in anything. Make it good mike. 

Mike Meyer, time to rise

Time to rise. 

I can get seduced easily by the situation I am in. Enjoying the moment is beautiful. trying to capture it, enslave it, artificially prolong it is ugly. 

I refuse to become an ugly moment hoarder. The next step is always up. I am always ready to take it. 

Mike Meyer, stay the right course

I need to stay the right course. I am becoming mindful of times when I am truly content and sated. 

I have also realized in spend a majority of my time addressing unmet needs. 

As a result I have a tendency to cut short my times of feeling happy to go back to the more familiar state of longing. 

I am learning to appreciate my times of contentment, to remain present and patient and to find my way back when they are lost. 

I will stay the right course when I have it. 

Mike Meyer, turn my mind around

I turn my mind around. I always go in the direction I need. Often emotions and feelings I wake up with feel legitimate but are debilitating. I do not need to dwell on things that ultimately lead no where and keep me from positive interactions with work, family, peers, colleagues and friends. 

I choose every morning to focus on positive productive engagement. If i do not wake up that way I instantly turn my mind around. 

Mike Meyer, the shield

I imagine holding a shield everyday. 

The barrage of counterproductive thoughts is unrelenting. The chance to hurt my cause is constant. I am amazed how far down a depressing negative thought trail I can travel before I realize I am frustrating myself. 

I shield myself against thoughts. I train my mind to recognize immediately when emotions are dissonant. It requires constant monitoring and discipline. But the more I am mindful the quicker I can detect a negative spiral and the faster I can change course. Carry your shield, be mindful of negative thoughts. Block them, destroy them, choose a different path of thought. 

Mike Meyer, a day of spoils

I drive and I grind. I work tirelessly. Then it all comes together.

I love those moments. The times I feel it all fall in to place. All the work makes sense. Today is a day of spoils. I am victorious. I enjoy what I have. 

Mike Meyer, eat the loss

Some days the price just becomes due. All my focus, energy, blocking out negative thoughts just fails. I get it, I accept it, I will take it. Today is a shit show. I will eat the loss and rally back tomorrow. 

Mike Meyer, change the starting point

My perspective determines everything. If I have one, 1500 seems like a lot. If I have 200,000 it is a small amount. To truly unlock and grow I do not need to continually reach higher, I need to change my starting point. 

Mike Meyer, without the inspiration

I keep waiting for inspiration. A burst of frenetic energy to propel me where I want to go. That is random and sporadic. It is unreliable. I must act. I must do even without the inspiration. It is harder and slower but ultimately more consistent and productive. 

Mike Meyer, No garbage allowed

When I wake up first thing in the morning, even before I get out of bed, negative and frustrating thoughts have piled up like garbage. Fears, loose ends, bagging thoughts always pull me away from who I am. I don't have energy for that. No garbage allowed. 

Mike Meyer, Always

Even when I am feeling sick, off or down I can find the frequency I am searching for. That is the key to success for me. To get out of being productive only when inspiration strikes or I am lucky enough to be in the mood. I always have the right frequency. Always. 

Mike Meyer, Fire Growing

I am in awe of the fire growing inside me. Every minute the energy becomes purer.  It burns away fear, it melts doubt. The path in my mind is clear. The fire grows.

Mike Meyer, consistency

Consistency.

I have found my groove. I know the expectations and feelings that allow me to excel. I know my tasks. I have emotional memory of how to productively complete those tasks. 

I am consistent. I can grow when I know the direction I am going.
