Rare Breed Academy

Do you want to change your life? Start by changing your habits.

So often we convince ourselves that change is only meaningful if there is some large, visible outcome associated with it. Whether it’s losing weight, building a business, or any other goal, we often put pressure on ourselves to make some earth shattering improvement that everyone will talk about.

Meanwhile, improving by just 1% isn’t notable (and sometimes it isn’t even noticeable). But there is power in small improvements and slow gains!

Start today!! Whether it’s big or small, just start!

To become a warrior in business, sports, and life, you must think like one.

True strength lives within the mind and the soul, not the external.

You will always find strength on the other side of suffering.

Take it from arguably the greatest swordsman in history. Book of Five Rings.

There is a common misconception that being productive means working 24/7 without feeling tired. That is not true. Being productive means working effectively within the shortest amount of time possible.

A busy person will spend all their time doing research, creating long to-do lists, and overthink the task before even getting started. On the other hand, a productive person will simply start and get it done. Which one are you?

We often lie to ourselves by twisting our reality into something that is acceptable in our own head. In fact, we use others mediocrity as reassurance that we are doing well.

Few people have the guts to face their ugliest truths and shoot them down like the silent enemy that is killing us slowly.

Consider this metaphor, your brain is a pistol that should be loaded and cocked at all times.

Your mind control is your trigger finger that can kill any negative thought or distraction that is trying to deter you from becoming your best self.

So as we finish this thought, we suggest you grab that loaded pistol (face the truth) and pull the trigger (kill the pretty lies). In time, you will leave nothing in your wake that could stop you from your greatest “You.”

Be the weapon.

Rare Breed Mindset

5 types of hobbies you need to have??

1️⃣ One to make you money
2️⃣ One to keep you in shape
3️⃣ One to keep you creative
4️⃣ One to build knowledge
5️⃣ One to evolve your mindset

Do you have all 5?

Know who is truly in your circle.

Wisdom is everything.

What you feed yourself and what you surround yourself with effects your mind. Surround yourself with positive people, stay disciplined, and live a healthy lifestyle so that your mind is happier and clearer.

The three enemies of ego, fear and complacency have plagued us all. They each have the genius of a five star general who is constantly plotting our demise, masterminding our downfall, and viciously attacking our potential. And unfortunately for us, they will never relent due to fatigue.

We have this constant internal monologue on what we can and cannot achieve, or what we should and should not do. Sadly, deep down we know the truth but we don’t always have the heart to fight back. We end up folding mentally, because we don’t fully understand the long term severity of the situation.

We should truly see this as an actual war within our mind. For the victor of this mental warfare will design our perception of reality, our behavior patterns, and our emotional responses. The winner of these daily wars end up designing our future.

Our only defense is our mindset. It acts as a weapon against these enemies. Constantly shooting and slicing through the souls of these enemies.

Once we understand how to armor our minds and become victorious over these three enemies, no enemy on the surface can defeat us.

You will reach a different echelon in life because of this mentality. Suddenly, there is no competition. There is no opposition. There is no enemy. For the enemy within has already been defeated.

Sometimes all you need is a little motivation reminder to get the most out of your day!!

It’s Monday!! What is it you want to accomplish this week? Let’s set our goals and hit them.

"I have a temper. I'm not a morning person. I'm not disciplined like that. I don't work that way. I've been burned before so that’s why I react this way. It's just who I am. It's how I came up." I could write a book with these one liners.

The truth is, you choose to BE like this. We are all about amplifying your strengths and self-awareness. We are not suggesting you have to "work" a certain way. What we are suggesting is to have the self-mastery to reinvent yourself at any given moment.

Saying "This is just who I am" is the same as saying "I'm settling. I'm good with this." If you feel content with that mentality then more power to you. But we guarantee you will be forced into a position where the "This is just who I am" mentality will set you back dramatically.

Have the mental capacity to reinvent yourself when necessary. An old dog can learn new tricks….If it chooses to. It might just take a little more work.

Commit to achieving your goals and being better each day.

Motivation is what gets you started. Commitment is what keeps you going.

“There is only one road to true human greatness: the road through suffering.”
▪️Albert Einstein.

One can not achieve resilience without suffering.

This resilience breeds confidence.

This confidence breeds transformation. And it all starts through the road of suffering.

Always choose to embrace the pain and mold it into something empowering. We have all suffered in some way, but we all don’t choose to transform that pain into something useful.

Next time you suffer, choose differently.

Raise your hand if you can relate 🙋‍♂️.

Whether you check them off, X them, or even draw a line through them, the effect is still the same. IT FEELS GOOD TO CROSS THINGS OFF YOUR TODO LIST!

That ✅ gives you a sense of accomplishment.

Crossing something off your list motivates you.

It could be a sense of pride in a job well done. Other times it might be the relief of finally completing that task which is long past due.

The bottom line is that completing items on your list feels GOOD!

If you want to create self-confidence, stop breaking promises you make to yourself. Every time you back up what you think and say, you build a little more confidence.

In time, as that behavior becomes automatic, you will eventually become so sure of yourself because you manifested your thoughts into tangible results.

This way of living is “Authenticity” in the truest sense of the word. You can’t be authentic, if you can’t even deliver on your own promises. Anything else would be fraudulent. And frauds will never have true confidence, only bravado. Above all, frauds will eventually get exposed. It is just a matter of time.

Never allow yourself to become a fraud to anyone else, but especially to yourself.

Never let yourself down. Be authentic.

Our goal has always been to inspire others to never let themselves down. And we can only do that, if we practice this philosophy for ourselves.

There are many things in life that you can’t control, but these 🔟 items are things you can directly control.

Not only can you control them, but these “controllables” have downstream effects that impact the outcome you are pursuing.

Stop blaming circumstances or other people for your problems or lack of success. Real transformation happens when you take complete ownership of everything that happens in your life.

Self reliance is how you reinvent yourself.
