Uncomfortable

Uncomfortable 


I’ve finally hit unfamiliar territory this year. At first, I was super excited. All of my dreams aligned. I traveled to South America with an amazing person, started my own company with my twin and accepted an opportunity to go overseas for a year. My South America trip has recently ended and all that excitement turned into a little fear. That fear was the uneasiness of the sacrifices I would have to make in order to continue to align with my goals. Fast forward to today and this is only my 3rd day of what feels like a never-ending state of being uncomfortable.  I get to travel for 1 whole year to 12 different cities across 4 different continents.  I get to work on creating a company with my brother with few distractions and almost unlimited flexibility.  So I gave up my home because in 3 months I’m out of the country for a year. I gave up my car, because I wouldn’t be able to drive it and why make payments on a car that I can’t drive. I had a hard time giving the car up last week.  I loved that Corvette Stingray. Now I have no car and no home. I’m living with my brother (Ramon) for 3 months in Denver while we get the business up and running.  I have nothing to hang on for comfort it’s liberating but the weirdest feeling in my life because everything is unknown.  We always want to cling on to something familiar. It seems as if I shouldn’t be freaking out because of the opportunities that are on the way. Yet how many people take this leap to give up everything.  As soon as I say that I start to recall that in my life I’ve always taken challenging paths so there is my comfort.  They say if you leave old things behind you are able to experience true growth, we shall see!!

Faith

Hello All, I keep moving forward even though sometimes the odds are stacked against me. I realize that I create my odds. I must have faith and believe when even I can't see a way out. I have been preparing for a year and a half and I choose to believe that one of the seeds that I have planted will provide me fruit. Unfortunately, I become impatient sometimes and want things to happen quickly, even thought I know it is not wise. I have been frustrated, stress, and yet I still have faith. I know I have given everything but I still have so much more I can give and do to realize my dreams and goals. Struggle is real and so is my faith sometimes. 6/13/2017, Ramon

Learning

Hello All, It is interesting how you can learn pretty much anything from Youtube nowadays. It has become my go-to source for information even before googling things on the internet. It is probably due to it being video. I get a ton of spiritual and mental stimulation from it. On the days that I have major doubt or setback I turn to youtube for motivation. On of my goals is to provide others with inspiration from this platform. I have already placed videos on the platform, they have limited views but I believe they are very good videos. It has become clear that I still have a lot to learn on Youtube if I want my messages to reach more people. 06/14/17 Ramon

Where to Start?

Hello All, I have learned the importance of long-term and short-term planning. When you are chasing your dreams or lofty goals, you end up becoming very busy. It sounds great but if you are not careful you will find yourself doing a meaningless task or letting the important stuff slip through the cracks. Planning for the long and short term can help stay on task and prioritize your workload. Every day I have to look at my long-term plan and short-term plan to make sure I'm getting the most bang for my buck. Today I ran into a problem completing a task because it requires other tasks to be completed first, unfortunately, those task cannot be completed until a later date. This is frustrating because it left me at a standstill and I had to figure out what else to do. When you are trying to start your own company with limited resources, you have to be resourceful and find something else to do that will contribute toward your goal. There is always something to be done so you alw...
