I know for many of you, you haven’t been conditioned to look for the positive stuff that you do, most people, myself included, are conditioned to look for the negative stuff because we get criticized far more often than we get praised. Hence why with my daughter, my firstborn, I made it a habit since she was about six years old to have a success diary, which means she has to sit down with a Google doc before bed. And she has to write down successes for the day. Successes can be new things she tried, things she completed, skills she practiced, people she met, something that she’d done that she was afraid to do. 

You know, maybe something that she’d done, she didn’t want to do, but she forced herself to do it anyway, like a chore or homework. brushing her teeth is a success, you know, helping out mom with something or myself or showing initiative, showing leadership, all that is considered a success. And so now, she has already crossed 10,000 successes since she started success diary. And the first two years I did it together with her. Now she doesn’t have her own. And it’s a habit, same as brushing teeth. So it’s automated. And what happens is, you can tell clearly, you can tell how she can now easily complement herself and spot her own positive actions. And so what’s going to happen is going to have a ripple effect into her early teen years. 

And of course, early adulthood because in early adulthood, all I did was self criticize. I don’t know if any of you can relate to that. But, you know, my self talk was always very negative. And you know, my team can attest to that when you know we would do something and they’re like, oh, Igor, this is amazing. This and this happened. It was like yeah, but could have done better. This did not go as planned. So I would always like to downplay my successes, even though I was achieving more than the average Igor, you know, so I want you guys to really get in the habit of seeing the positives that you do, because this is how you will build momentum. 

And that momentum will carry you forward. Now, if you think about achievement and success, and the key difference between people who achieve a lot and succeed a lot. It’s not that they don’t make mistakes. It’s not that they don’t experience setbacks they very much do. In fact, the bigger they are, the bigger the setbacks they have to deal with. It’s just their mindset is one where a setback is only one thing weighted against lots of successes and positive actions, which allows them to retain crazy momentum, allowing them to just continue moving forward all the time. 

Unsuccessful people, on the other hand, experience one small setback and know what they do. They start sulking, they start feeling, you know, going into self pity mode, they start you know, talking about how life is unfair, how everything’s very hard and they kind of Just give up because of that. And it’s not because they’re bad people, it’s not because they don’t want to succeed, they really want to succeed. It’s just they don’t have a sense of momentum. And the way you build it is by starting to point out your successes more often than you point out your failures and mistakes. 

And a great person to take note, by the way, with this trait is Donald Trump. Now you can love him, or you may hate him, but as a specimen for success studies, his mindset tells everything because you can’t really get to him, as far as pointing out his mistakes or otherwise, you know, making like the guy went through several bankruptcies, obviously, you know, he had all kinds of trouble got indicted several times, and yet, he still keeps going, right? 

I’ve always admired that about Trump. And I don’t have to agree with his policies or I don’t have to, like have an opinion about him as a leader of the Western world, unfortunately, I mean, I’m a Canadian, so I really don’t have to express an opinion about him, although I do have one, but I’m not going to because I just don’t wanna get into the argument. I just want to look at Trump as somebody to just study as a great example of a never ending positive momentum. 

Everything he does, everything he says, Like if you listen to his rallies, right, he talks about his position of momentum, even if he hasn’t even started yet. And that’s a great quality. It’s something that I recommend you all adopt, at least to an extent you don’t have to be as obnoxious about it as he is, because he really takes it to a whole nother level. 

But you know, if you only get a sense of that, a flavor of that, you’ll see how it immediately creates positive results in your life.
