Yeah yeah. Day three being written on day four will definitely skew some of the memories and emotions, as time has passed and I don't remember things that well anymore; 26 is oooooold!
I don't have much to say for day three as most of the day was spent at the CSULB New Year's Classic Volleyball tournament. This is how my day went from 9am - 4pm: Play volleyball, sit, drink beer, warm up for volleyball, and then repeat and feel progressively "old" and out of shape. Thankfully, I had been playing some volleyball the last few weeks so I could at least look like I knew what I was doing. I ended up playing pretty well and it felt great both mentally and physically. It's given me a little more confidence in myself, but also verified to me that I am, indeed, "old" and out of shape. I also spent the day with my best friend and his girlfriend. An added bonus.
After volleyball I came home and did some laundry, started to feel a little lonely, and realized I didn't need someone around me all day. That's just strange. I sat on the couch, ate some amazing Eastside Mario's leftovers, passed out until 2 in the morning and went to bed without setting my alarm for golf this morning. I guess this is where page three ends huh? I can't wait to read whether or not I made it to golf! Such a cliffhanger! Until tomorrow, there's day 3 of 365.

1.2.10
Day two began where day one left off. I went to work slightly hungover and unmotivated, only to gain many more emotions that I didn't want to feel; anger, annoyance, depression, confusion, helplessness, etc. This is what happens when you hear stories of your fucked up family. I apologize for the language, but that is the most appropriate way of describing my family so that you're not left questioning what I really mean.
I won't get into the details, though, so don't worry. As the day moved on, things started improving. I was invited to dinner with my best friend, which was both surprising and awesome (dumplings! mmm). I treated myself to some new boots and some clothes. And finally I went out dancing. I ended the night on a good note and I feel great going into tomorrow.
Hmmm. Interesting that my page is significantly shorter when I'm happy. Or maybe it's the fact that I have to be up in 5 hours to play a volleyball tournament. Either way, I have 363 other days to make up for this short page ;). Until tomorrow... Brad, there's day 2 of 365.

1.1.10 - Welcome to the Present
Last night - new years eve - Brad Paisley's last tweet was, "Tomorrow, is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one." It inspired me. If not for the entire year, at least temporarily. So, here it goes. This is the first post of my 365 page book. Welcome to the present!
Going into 2010 I already had expectations. Knowing that my job will be gone and I'll have to find a new one or pick a different path was already stressing me out. (Keep in mind I'm kind of buzzed writing this post...it's been a quasi crappy way to start the new year.). I THOUGHT my new year was going to start out ideal; golfing in the morning, a little lunch, a nap and some college football, dinner and some dancing at a "new" venue for me. Perhaps even meet a few new people.
After staying out until 130-200 am, and getting up at 645 for golf, I was really excited for what this new year had to bring. However, once I got to the golf course and realized the people that were supposed to be there were not there, the day turned from awesome to depressing in no time. I thought I was going to start it with friends and one of my favorite things to do, when instead I was alone and had nothing to do. I couldn't help but feel as I had been feeling for the last few weeks: alone and depressed.
I went home and watched some of the Rose Parade, reminiscing about the many parades I had marched as Trojan, and wishing life were as "simple" as it was in college. It got me thinking about how there are so many movies about High School angst and Mid-Life crises, but not so many about the people that are still struggling with what to do after college, and before they're married with children. Where does one turn to? Especially being the only one to go to college. Who do I go to for advice? I'm lost and I don't know who to turn to.
After sitting around the house sulking in silence, desperately staring at my phone for SOMEONE to text or call, I gave up on the year already. I went to dinner with my roommate, once he came home, and although he had no clue, it was the happiest moment of my day.
We came home, and in a food stupor, I fell asleep for a few hours. Doing absolutely nothing and thinking about how you have nothing do is exhausting.
After my "nap" I sat around debating on whether or not to go out dancing. For those that don't know, I'm a country music fan and love two-stepping and line dancing, even though I'm mediocre at best. I sat around having an argument with myself that went something like this: "If you just keep sleeping, you'll be just fine. But if you go out, you may meet some new people that enjoy doing what you do and make 2010 different than 2009." This went on for about 45 minutes before I decided to actually go out.
I arrived at Incahoots, a local country music bar. I met up with some of my friends from Cowboy Country, which is a place I frequent at least once a month. After having a few drinks, I still sat there intimidated by the younger crowd and feeling like I couldn't compete for anyone's attention and didn't have the "moves" to have the ladies come approach me! ;) I started to think again. "This year sucks. I suck. I got no confidence and nothing is different. I can't even come up with an excuse to change things!!"
After another couple drinks and a few dances I knew, I went out and at least enjoyed myself. However, I'm still stuck struggling with what to do with myself, who I am and how to get through all this without sounding like a depressed, disfunctional human being that masks his lack of confidence and strength with jokes and a fake smile. I need to change this.
If I plan on making 2010 the best year of my life, I've got a lot of work to do. Well Brad, there's day 1 of 365.

Laws of attraction!
Yeah, yeah. I know I've been UBER slacking on keeping my blog updated. Whatever!
So in my last post, I talked about the secret. Since then, I have created a vision board see below, I have begun following some great mentors/life coaches/fellow LOA believers (Laws of Attraction) etc. and have been feeling GREAT about my life. I used to think that the "laws of attraction" were simply a term used in love and lust. Boy was I wrong! I'll explain more later..jpg)
That's my vision board so far. There are some quotes, "It's time to start living the life you've imagined." Some pictures of things I want (beautiful house, bar, boat, awesome kitchen). Some things that just make me happy (golf) and I've still got some more things I need to put on there. I've been doing a lot better thinking about my business too!
I won't get into all the details of "The Secret" and LOA, but a lot of it is simply this; whatever you put out, will generate the same thing back. So if I'm putting off an "I'm sick of bills and ants and my pesky boss" vibe, I'm going to get more bills, more ants and more peskiness from my boss! Conversely, if I'm putting out to the universe that I'm successful, capable, healthy, and worth something amazing, I'm going to be successful at whatever I take on, capable of doing them, stay healthy and earn what I feel and believe I'm worth.
I'm still questioning the "silliness" of this whole theory, even though I shouldn't, but it's a common struggle with my own internal dialogue; that pesky voice in your head that I've mentioned a few times. It's also funny to me because I keep asking myself why wouldn't everyone just think this way anyways, until I listen to conversations and realize almost everyone I know talks about bad things and thinks the worst.
Examples: How many people come home from work and talk about all the annoying things that have happened at work and how annoying the boss is, nearly every day?
How many people do you know that are "one of those people" and have a different sob story each day of how something ELSE has happened to them and it's "poor me" and "why me?"
How many people do you know that have an excuse for why everything happens to them, and it's never really "their fault."
How many of these people are "successful" and happy people? none that I've met. Now on the other end:
How many people that aren't "successful" come home and talk about the positive things that happened?
How many people that aren't "successful" bring up how well their business is doing or how they are just happy to have a job in this time?
"BUT KYLE, those people are happy because they have money."
A partial truth, maybe, but there are plenty of people who have money and they're not happy!
I think with positive thought and the belief that you're worth something more and capable of something more, certain things will "just show up" or gravitate towards you.
"BUT KYLE, why not just sit here all day thinking that you can and will win the lotto?" I'm not too sure how well this works, but I'm pretty sure it may not be stronger than odds of 1 in 135,145,920 haha. That, and the lotto doesn't always make people happy, healthy and wealthy. The LOA works in all areas. It's having an abundance of health, love, money, etc. I can have a million dollars and be sick and die and that's no fun. I can have a million dollars and be sad and lonely and that's no fun. It's about all aspects of life!
Today, was a pretty interesting day. I feel I saw this power of positive thinking work! My personal example, so far:
I've been believing that I am a capable and successful real estate broker and salesperson, whereas before I questioned my own abilities, and that my business and its model works very well. I've been thinking positively about all the referrals that we have currently outstanding and that we would start seeing checks. Today we received a payment for a closed referral that both myself and my business partner had thought was dead and worthless, that we had sent out exactly three months ago. Coincidence or power of positive thinking? That's subjective, but I feel it's the LOA at work!
I'm calling it a night because I'm hungry as hell, but I'll keep you posted as far as how this keeps up. My struggles. My victories. My additions to my vision board and anything else I find interesting.
And I'll give some updates on some other things I've touched on in past blogs. I promise to update this more!
One last thing. I appreciate those of you that read this. It makes me happy to know that people enjoy what I have to say and offer their own perspective and advice! So thank you, whoever you are! haha Leave a comment and let me know! Thanks

The Secret
Well, I finally watched "The Secret" and I found it very interesting. So interesting that I went out and bought a poster board to create a vision board of the things I want, and believe I can have in my life. I will post all the things that I add to it, as I add to it.
Haven't come up with a solid mantra yet, but I heard some great quotes from "The Secret" that I may use. The tennis match in my mind is still just as strong when I talk to myself, but I'm determined to get the negative out of it and focus on the positive things.
I made it through all of August without buying a drop of alcohol!!! I came close these last couple of days, but I had some help from some good friends not wanting to see me fail. Thanks!
I'm back down to having only one credit card with a balance too. Work is good. Life is good. My health is fantastic and I'm excited about life and what the universe has to offer! I've come a long way since I started this in June! I'm impressed with myself and very happy.
Sorry for not posting as much.

My mind talks too much!
Back in post #1 (I know! MONTHS ago) I talked about the little voice in your head. You know the one. It's probably saying, "Voice in my head? I don't have a voice in my head. That's for crazy people!" to you right now! Anyway, the point is that MINE DOESN'T EVER STFU!
Tonight was the first night of spending 15 minutes alone repeating the same phrases and beliefs to help me focus on my career and make it a priority in my thought, and it was nearly impossible to get the voice in my head to stop trying to talk over the projected voice! UGH!
I tried talking out loud. I tried talking LOUDLY in my head. I tried to close my eyes and clear everything away. I tried to strip away each thing that was there. I tried yelling at the voice in my head (I think it mocked me back like a sassy 5yr old girl). Basically, as I sat there trying to focus, my mind was going 100mph.
MY MIND:
You should be working instead of sitting in your room talking to a wall. What if someone saw you? This is pretty silly. Do you even believe what you're saying? Do you believe this will really work? You should be over at the computer getting your website noticed. You know what would work better, try this! Has it been 15 minutes yet? How do you know if it's 15 minutes if your phone is off and you didn't look at the clock? You want to look at the clock don't you? etc. etc.
I even tried closing my eyes, picturing my most peaceful place possible, which was a tee box on a beautiful green golf course, and as soon as I pictured a tee box, every possible hazard or obstacle automatically followed. There was a 100 yard canyon to carry, with water all along the left side, water along the right, and trees in the middle of the fairway. You think a psychologist would have an opinion on why that happened? Something like, "This symbolizes how you only see the obstacles in the path to your ultimate goal." That's how I saw it at least. Maybe I should have thought of sitting at the river drinking a beer!
This kind of upset me because that's exactly the opposite of how I'm trying to think. There are no obstacles, just opportunity. But hey, Rome wasn't built in a day! I kept on truckin' and continued repeating for another 5 straight minutes or so. I know this will be a process, but eventually I'll be able to remove the obstacles, see the fairway and stripe a 300 yarder down the middle!
In other news, I spoke with Scott today about our website and the changes I want to make, so progress with the business is in motion. I am going to post this and do a solid hour of work at least and continue thinking positive thoughts!
Oh and for the record, I have not spent a dime on alcohol for 21 straight days now. I have a lot more money, I have more energy and I'm on a somewhat normal sleep schedule now too. Amazing. OH, and getting buzzed only takes ONE PBR now! haha
Budget of $10/day is still being followed fairly strictly, too! LIFE IS GOOD!

Redundancy is annoying
Looking back at the last year, I can count at least 4 times when I've told myself, my business partner, my dad, my girfriend, my imaginary friend...that, "I'm ready to give it my all and I'm re-focused!"
I am SO SICK of hearing me say that, just to find myself two weeks later unmotivated and uninterested again!
Well folks, welcome to Groundhog Day!
I am re-motivated and ready to work for myself again!
I sit here and stress about money and things I want and can't have, yet I do nothing to work towards eliminating this stress, when there is a HUGE opportunity right in front of me. It's just plain dumb, and I know it is, yet I've just shrugged it off. Moron!
The aforementioned reason is not the only motivational factor though. Recently, I heard about this thing called, "The Secret!" Thanks to Wikipedia, I read a little bit about it and found it interesting. Anyone that knows me also knows that I would scoff at the notion that "positive thinking will generate positive results in the universe" or something akin to that, but I figure that if anything, at least I'll be positive and happy, so why not give it a shot, right?
I also looked at the Wikipedia page on meditation. Don't ask me why, because I don't know either. Hold on and hum elevator muzak while I Wiki "mantras."

mantra: etymology means man- "To think" and tra- "tool", so a mantra is, in essence, an instrument of thought. NICE!
Much like I have done with many other aspects of my life described in this blog, I am going to translate me new found ability to "focus" on things into my career!
Each day, I will devote 15 minutes of silence to myself, reciting a mantra (to be made up tonight) that will be relegated to believing and focusing on my career.
I know some of you may be thinking, "Wait! Ins't a mantra and meditation a religious thing? Is he becoming buddhist?" The simple answer to that is, "NO!" Those of you that know me, also know my views on religion. That being said, there is no reason, to me, that this "secret"-ask-believe-receive thing coupled with mantra-meditation-motivation won't help me put my career as a priority in life. And if you look at "The secret" and mantras and meditation, they're pretty similar, at least from what I've read.
This is WAY out there for me, so bare with me if I didn't make it 100% clear to you tonight because I'm not quite sure of everything yet myself. Heh! This will be interesting. Basic principle to me is: If I make it a priority to constantly be in my head (much like I did with my budget), I won't want to escape it because it's making my life better.
Oh and as for not posting for the past like two weeks, fuhgeddaboutit! Just know I have stuck to my budget (fairly well actually) and I'm happy again. Let's see where this new positive mental attitude can get me!
Now it's time to think of a mantra! This excites me...mentally!

And if you look at "The secret" and mantras and meditation, they're pretty similar, at least from what I've read.
This is WAY out there for me, so bare with me if I didn't make it 100% clear to you tonight because I'm not quite sure of everything yet myself. Heh! This will be interesting. Basic principle to me is: If I make it a priority to constantly be in my head (much like I did with my budget), I won't want to escape it because it's making my life better.
Oh and as for not posting for the past like two weeks, fuhgeddaboutit! Just know I have stuck to my budget (fairly well actually) and I'm happy again. Let's see where this new positive mental attitude can get me!
Now it's time to think of a mantra! This excites me...mentally!
