I’ve got a crazy idea for you today. Consider with an open mind, that in life, everyone gets exactly what they want. Obviously you could pick this argument apart pretty easily by pointing out people who were born into a country in the midst of a violent civil war, or children who are being neglected, … [Read more…]
Stagnation doesn’t exist in life. You’re either moving up quickly, making steady progress, slowly regressing, or quickly falling apart. Most people are slowly going down. They’re working the same job year after year on auto-pilot. They don’t challenge themselves, and they’ve stopped trying to improve. Why? Because they can’t. Think of a human being as … [Read more…]
This month is the one year anniversary of cameronchardukian.com It’s crazy to think I’ve only been writing for a year. Since last February I’ve written over 150 posts, and recorded more than 30 videos for the blog. There’s been tons of highs, and looking back, surprisingly few lows. I’ve undergone a lot of self-introspection this … [Read more…]

I’ll write two blogs posts, record and edit two videos, lift weights, put in a training session for juggling, spend an hour studying Spanish, and it’ll still only be 6 P.M. Other times I’ll struggle to do anything, and by the end of the day … [Read more…]

You recognize this, and believe you should feel good, but at the same time you still experience primarily negative emotions. Why? Well, there’s several different approaches we could take … [Read more…]
When I was in 8th grade I was on a recreational soccer team playing in a winter league. The league was more competitive than my coach had expected it to be, and we got smashed almost every game. It hurts to lose every game, especially at that age, but at the time I wasn’t too … [Read more…]
I’ve seen a lot of people who struggle with motivation, including myself occasionally. At some point everyone has let opportunities slip away from them. Sometimes this is paralysis induced from having success barriers, but in this post we’ll focus specifically on lacking the motivation to seize opportunities. ### Motivation Is A Feeling, Not A Thought … [Read more…]
Waiting for the “Right moment” to take action may appear to be an intelligent decision in the short-term, but from a big picture perspective doing so is ultimately to your detriment.
