The Art of Personal Development
area comes from the fact that I wanted to make changes in my own life. I have concentrated the power
of my focus on a regular basis to figure out how to make my life work and once I started to make my
life to work the way I wanted, meaning that I start to achieve what I wanted and leave the life I desire,
immediately I wanted to share it with other people out of enthusiasm. I am telling you that everything
you are focusing on a consistent basis, if you put 100% of yourself into it and you are trying to improve
daily on, you will improve and you will get better.
The problem is that most of us in life do not control the power of our mental focus. In fact, most of us
focus on things like: ‘Oh gosh, how comes that my life is not working?’, ‘How that it is always
happening to me?’, and if you focus on that hard enough, then that is what you will experience in life.
Whatever we focus on consistently, we tend to manifest in our lives; don’t you already believe that?
My hallucination is that you already do, otherwise you wouldn’t buy this book.
The key is to get ourselves to live by these factors. Most people in life major on minor things; they
focus on how to make a living and not on how to design their life. They get caught up in day to day
experiences that they make really important, when actually in the long term they are not important at
all. These 30 days are going to be a study on majors of life. The majors on how to take care of yourself,
emotionally, mentally, physically, financially, and is what the focus is about. Do you remember Dr Jay,
the great basketball player? Dr Jay used to have a philosophy that really affected my life. He used to
say: ‘Many people are looking at me and are amazed that I was born with that talent, but they don’t
see all the years of practice that went into it. My success comes down to one thing: I demand more
from myself than anyone else could ever expect; that’s how you become a super success’.
03. My study of success

You maybe wonder what drove me to really want to study success at this level of depth. The same
thing that drives all of us succeed, applied in my personal case too: either inspiration or desperation.
And for me was desperation. I have grown up in an environment I didn’t like. I remember looking
around and being dissatisfied; and by the way, if you are dissatisfied with some areas of your life right
now, instead of being frustrated, better get excited because until you get dissatisfied you won’t really
do anything to get your life to another level. Dissatisfaction is a gem. When you are satisfied your life
gets comfortable and starts to deteriorate.
I saw my parents working very hard, and long hours for little money, and most of the times we were
broke. I remember what that did to me emotionally. That drew enough pain inside of me that I
thought to myself that I won’t ever have my family going through this, and not myself either ever
again. I thought that someday I am going to master financial success so I can only help myself but the
people around me as well. And that was a driving force for me in that area.
I remember going to high school and I wasn’t a popular kid, but I really loved people and I loved being
around them and I wanted everybody to like me, but I wasn’t quite as popular. But I thought to myself
that someday I am going to meet the most popular people in school, I will find out what makes them
so popular, and I thought that maybe they are the kindest and warmest people that you could ever
meet. I remember the day I meet the most popular kid in school. He treated me like I was dirt, like
how I dare to enter his space. And I thought how could somebody this rude be so successful and have
people like him? That made me study what makes people like other people. For example, people in
relationships: people who have been married for 5, 10, or 15 years and they still hang together; they
still have passion and they still really love each other. What happened for me, I said in my mind: ‘I
don’t like the way my life is and I want to make it better’. So somewhere in my mind, I linked up that
what I should do is study success. If you want anything in life you have to study for it. If you want
success in your life, then you have to study success, and not leave it to chance.
