097: Slippery Slope

The Graffiti Machine ·

2023/06/27

A lot of compromises can be a slippery slope. One compromise leads to another, then another, then next thing you know, shit can get out of control. It happens to all of us. The key is to keep an eye on it, and if you do fall off track, get that momentum going again. Even if you have to force it.

096: Beyond Negativity

The Graffiti Machine ·

2023/06/15

Negative emotions can be damaging to your physical and mental health, but they're also a normal part of the human experience. According to the law of polarity, you can't have one without the other. Lets talk about some tools we can use to limit the power of negativity.

095: Mind Control

The Graffiti Machine ·

2023/05/30

When we think of mind control, we may think of it as some kind of science fiction shit, but if you really think about it, we allow people to control our minds all the time. If someone says something that offends you, you might get pissed and let thoughts grow like weeds in your mind. Some people can spend hours, days or even longer in this state. The person that orginially offended you has probably moved on with their life, but there you are running through it over and over. You've

094: Who are you?

The Graffiti Machine ·

2023/05/24

An interesting concept to ponder is our identity. If asked who we are, we might respond with our name, occupation, hobby, or another label we've chosen to identify ourselves with. However, in reality, none of these things truly represent us. Some argue that even the voice in our heads isn't truly us; rather, we are the listener to that voice.

093: The Massive Value of Combining Urgency and Patience

The Graffiti Machine ·

2023/05/10

There is a balance between urgency and patience when it comes to working towards your own true potential. Urgency keeps you motivated until things take longer than you expected. That's where patience comes in. Losing patience can sap motivation and you'll lose your urgency. Balancing the two can be the answer to maintaining forward momentum.

092: The Last Time

The Graffiti Machine ·

2023/05/02

There isn't anything in your life that is permanent. Every single thing you do, there will be a last time you do it. The last time you pet your dog, the last time you go to your favorite restaurant, even the last time you breathe. Given that we never know when that last time will be, it is vital that we learn to be present in the moment, because you don't know if that's the last time you'll have that experience. In a society filled with distractions, we can very easily spend those last times

091: The Universal Laws

The Graffiti Machine ·

2023/04/20

In this episode, we dive into the 12 universal laws that govern the universe and explore how they can help us live more fulfilling lives. We discuss each law somewhat in detail and examine how they are interconnected. I truly believe that whether or not you believe in them, living your life and making decisions with these laws in mind will lead to a better life.

090: The Power of Proximity

The Graffiti Machine ·

2023/04/05

There's a phrase that says you are the sum of the five people you spend the most time with. I'm not sure how true this is, but I know there is a lot of power in being around people. Putting yourself around people that are further along than you can have a huge effect on helping you progress.

089: Belief Follows Action

The Graffiti Machine ·

2023/03/18

How many things have you had trouble starting becuase you didn't believe in the outcome? There is a simple, but often not easy formula to follow. Even if you don't believe you can achieve something, if you start working towards it, then get some results, you'll start to believe. Keep going, even when shit gets hard and eventually you'll believe in it.

088: You Get What You Focus On

The Graffiti Machine ·

2023/02/09

You've likely seen this happen where you decide to buy a certain car or something like that, then all of a sudden, you're seeing them everywhere. Today, we talk about how focusing on negative or positive things can have a similar effect. The more you focus on negative the more you see, so why not focus on positive things to see more of that?

086: You Might Not Have Time

The Graffiti Machine ·

2023/01/01

I’ve been thinking about time a lot lately. On one hand, you could look at things like Gary Vee where he says you have a lot more time than you think you do. Sometimes I think, “man I’m almost 50 and I’m not where I feel I should be”, but the way Gary looks at it is, I got a shitload more life left to make things happen. I agree with this to a certain extent. The reality is, we may not have the time we think we do. Not just in how much longer you have on the planet, but in lots of other aspects

085: Mystery Beef

The Graffiti Machine ·

2022/11/10

How many beefs have started over complete misunderstandings? I would imagine more often than not, these are how they start. Then we jump in and fire back, which makes it worse. The cycle continues until it is resolved in one way or the other. There is a famous quote by Viktor Frankl:“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” What if we all took that space between the stimulus and response? How

084: Don't Burn The Spot

The Graffiti Machine ·

2022/11/02

We have a phrase in graffiti that goes “Don’t burn the spot”. It’s one of the unwritten rules of the game. In general it’s meant to keep people from fucking up things for other people. What if we applied this thinking to other aspects of our lives? Treating little things that we may not think they matter as if they do.

083: Developing the skill of quieting your mind.

The Graffiti Machine ·

2022/10/27

There's a simple way to quiet your mind, but it takes a lot of practice. Like all skills, it is also perishable and requires regular maintenance. In this episode, I'll share with you the basic meditation practice I've been using for over a decade and how you can get started developing the skill for yourself. Sign up for my newsletter. I promise not to spam you with offers, or any bullshit. I generally send links to articles I write, educational content, podcast releases and things like that

082: Prioritize and Execute

The Graffiti Machine ·

2022/10/19

We all get overwhelmed at times. Sometimes it gets to the point where it causes inaction. Everything seems to be occupying your mind at the same time. With everything feeling the same importance, it’s nearly impossible to decide how to move forward. This is where one of the laws of combat can be applied. Decide on the priority and execute. I learned about this from the book The Dichotomy Of Leadership.

080: The Action Is the Goal

The Graffiti Machine ·

2022/09/28

Sometimes—maybe even most of the time—making the action the goal rather than focusing on the actual goal is the best way to go. It can be overwhelming when you have big goals to get paralyzed by the enormity of it all, but if you focus on the day to day actions required to achieve it, it can really help you continue moving forward.

079: Personal Excellence Is the Solution

The Graffiti Machine ·

2022/09/22

If you're committed to making the world better, the best way to do it is starting with yourself. Being committed to personal excellence will not only improve your life, but it will spread to those around you. Developing yourself isn't just about you. It's about anyone that is paying attention to you. It's about being the example of what is possible so other people can believe they can do the same.
