My 2010 Content Creation Commitment
I’ve decided that as of today, May 1st, 2010, I will now publicly commit myself to consistently perform on creating content through my personal brand, OR ELSE! I’ve been creating content online, relating to my passions & interests, for over 5 years now. My own lack of diligence with this has caused me to be very inconsistent here. Between today, May 1st, 2010, and January 1st, 2011, I will consistently create content through my personal brand or else I will publicly post a video where I share my views on an embarrassing topic here on brianwatkins.com for the entire world to see. The key objective, beyond the production of content itself, is for me to establish the habit & pattern of diligence to consistently create content throughout the future of my life. I need to do this in order to get myself out there so that I can ultimately better create awesome connection & community with my types of people. This is going to be challenging & rewarding for me and I invite you to personally join me in this journey as I put myself out there more & more!
Militant Production Identity & Sharpened Focus
I believe I have experienced a rare & fundamental shift in identity, and I believe it is for the better in my life at this point. On the morning of April 11th, this entire process came to a tipping point of what I think is a fundamental identity shift towards this concept of production. What I mean by the term “production” is finished product work. You could imagine a factory that is driving itself to produce more & more finished product units of whatever it makes. Now think of yourself personally as a little factory pumping out more & more units of finished product work that is relevant to your life. A mindset of production is in action and consciously pushing forward towards the end result of the task or project. Well, I believe I’ve hit a strategic plateau within my life which was a big catalyst for this militant production identity shift. It is now my duty to perform on it and extract the great benefits that it can bring in life. I feel focused & ready to really commit to this process and build within this framework.
Second Update for My 2010 Stacked Physique Commitment
It has been two quarters (6 months) since making My 2010 Stacked Physique Commitment on October 31st, 2009, and one quarter (3 months) since publishing my First Update for My 2010 Stacked Physique Commitment on January 31st, 2010. Now, in this post, I’m going to give you my second update on how I’m doing with executing on consistently building my stacked physique… I can proudly say that I have done an awesome job with consistently bodybuilding throughout this second quarter of my commitment! I’ve been outperforming my own expectations of myself and it is presently getting better & better. Not only is my performance way up, but I seem to be achieving a new level of accomplishment with crafting my workouts into a habitual part of my day. One more quarter to go! Let’s do this!
What Do I Want To Be?
I asked myself the question… “What do I want to be?” I’d like to share just that with you here. The true answers for this specific question are not inherently meant for others. It is only about your true inner self. Instead of only developing our internal selves in a way that allows us to do great things in the external world, so that then value can come back to us that can hopefully make us happy to the point of fulfillment… We should develop our internal selves as an entity onto its own in a way that is naturally fulfilling, because of what we are within, without the need for any special external circumstances. Architect the most beautiful creation within that naturally fulfills you. Develop an entire positively reinforcing world inside that is based on what you truly want to be to yourself in life. View your internal being as a concrete thing onto itself. Be, within yourself, what will make you happy and then live it to your fullest, unapologetically. What do you want to be?
First Update for My 2010 Stacked Physique Commitment
So it has been one complete quarter since making my 2010 stacked physique commitment on October 31st, 2009. In this post, I am going to update you on my performance & experience in establishing consistent progress towards achieving my stacked physique since I started three months ago. Overall, I did good in my workouts throughout the past three months. However, this level of good is not good enough. So far, I’m not living up to my commitment. Writing that statement pisses me off. If I don’t get my ass in gear right now and knockout a consistently solid month of workouts in the month of February 2010, then I will declare failure and publish my shirtless photos taken last year. As always, I welcome all productive accountability, motivation, inspiration, encouragement, teasing or anything else you would like to contribute.
My 2010 Stacked Physique Commitment
Today on October 31st, 2009, I have reached a state of mind where I’ve said NO MORE! to not fulfilling my physical body goal of building what I’ve termed my stacked physique… I’ve never stayed very consistent in building my desired physique throughout my life. I’m fed up with that and am using this present motivation to install even more accountability & motivation into my life right now with this very blog post. Between today, October 31st, 2009, and my next birthday, July 30th, 2010, I will seriously develop my stacked physique or else I will publicly post embarrassing photos of my current physique here on brianwatkins.com for the entire world to see. So I welcome and encourage all accountability, motivation, inspiration, encouragement, or teasing that you would like to provide me throughout the next 9 months in order to help fuel my progress even more, to once and for all seriously develop my stacked physique that I’ve desired my entire life! The clock starts NOW!
I Do Not Want to Be President of the United States
With my mission of dedicating a huge part of my overall life towards maximizing the positive impact I can have on humanity, I have to seriously ask myself questions such as “Should I actively pursue becoming the President of the United States of America in my lifetime?” On the evening of July 23rd, 2009, I concluded that I do not want to become the President of the United States. So I don’t want to be President, but there is a BIG upside to this on the flipside of this decision that I am EXTREMELY excited about and would like to share with you here! But I have to admit that I’m a little bit scared about publicly removing the filter from myself. I feel a big added sense of personal freedom from this decision and am very excited to see how its effects will play out in my life and in the lives of others. I’m fucking pumped about not becoming the President of the United States! 
Raw Financial Achievement
On the morning of Friday, April 24th, 2009, I felt the deep presence of a mindset that I haven’t really felt for a few years. I’ve named this mindset “raw financial achievement”, and I am now very glad that it has come back, because I think it is going to help me in life. The mindset of raw financial achievement is probably going to be a tough pursuit. I would be much happier in the short-term forgetting about the pursuit of making billions of dollars and indulging in the side of me that loves deep human connection, passionate creativity, & exploring the meaning of life. In the long-term, I know that I will be much much much happier than I will ever be now when I am living a truly outrageous life and can seriously pursue the obtainment of my Ultimate Goals. So I am doing a deal with the dark side of psychology & attempting to take on the cold, machine-like mindset of raw financial achievement in order to make billions to change the world & live my dream. The risks are that I could crack due to the psychological pain or be attracted out of the mindset by what naturally makes me happy. Ultimately, I want to achieve my goals, remove this raw achievement mindset, and get back to the super happy natural me. Wish me luck!
Your dream life is waiting.
“Your dream life is waiting.” Not only is this my inspirational & challenging personal tagline that I signoff with on virtually everything, but it is also a true statement for virtually every single human being on planet Earth today. I promise. As of my brianwatkins.com 2.0 site launch on Midnight, 1-1-2009, I have committed to continuously, publicly using this personal tagline of “Your dream life is waiting.” I took over three years to develop and decide on this personal tagline because I wanted it to be an extremely solid pillar of my personal brand. So, specifically… What is your dream life? And how is it that it is waiting? Your dream life is the-or-an ultimate life that you want to live indefinitely and believe would provide consistent fulfillment. Your dream life is waiting because virtually every person on Earth today has the real potential to actually achieve & live out their own custom dream life. Even most people who are in very bad circumstances of life hold this real potential within their lives. Now, let me go into more detail about the meaning of “Your dream life is waiting.” Don’t leave your dream life hanging, go and get it now!
Michigan is Home Again
After recently coming back from Las Vegas to Michigan, I’ve decided to stay. I just recently made this big decision to make Michigan my home once again. If you know me well, then you know that this is a big decision that is very contradictory to my traditional mindset towards living in here in Michigan. I normally hated living here primarily because of the cold weather & lack of significance. Now, I love the thought of living here! So, why the change of heart? After thinking about this decision on and off for another week or so, I discovered the logic for why I wanted and am going to be living here in Michigan for at least the next year or two. So the reason why I am going to live here in Michigan for the next year or two and not a big city comes down to the two following primary reasons…
