Here at The Kaizen Effect, we believe that no one is cut from a different cloth. However, by cultivating a track record which supports our endeavors, we all have the choice of weaving that cloth into a beautiful tapestry and manifesting our wildest dreams. That's why our teachings emphasize the importance of first establishing a robust, inner framework - one which forms the basic foundation upon which all dreams are supported. Such a central core essentially lays the underlying root structure which nourishes our ambitions, allows them to flourish, and grounds us in our purpose and long-term goals. Then, once a proper framework has fully blossomed, true success not only flows naturally from the inside-out but is also sustainable - regardless of our external endeavors and conditions. It is born from these underlying principles, and its deeply rooted core is impervious to the greatest trials and tribulations. As you partake in our community and adopt our mentalities, we hope to instill these governing foundations into your habits and daily lives. Our goal is to first sculpt your conception of reality, sense of purpose, and inner discipline into a life-long asset - one that works with you and always gives more than it takes. Then, after you have sown the seeds of success, we will show you how to continually reap the efforts of your labors - as these principles begin to permeate every facet of your life. So, I welcome you to The Kaizen Effect and hope you are ready to embark on one of the greatest journeys of your life. We look forward to working with you as we all grow into the greatest version of ourselves together. |

"In any situation and in whatever you do, your state of consciousness is the primary factor; the situation and what you do is secondary. 'Future success' is dependent upon and inseparable from the consciousness out of which the actions emanate. That can be either the reactive force of the ego or the alert attention of awakened consciousness. All truly successful action comes out of that field of alert attention, rather than from ego and conditioned, unconscious thinking."
"If you have built castles in the sky, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."
"Moving along the upward spiral requires us to learn, commit, and do on increasingly higher planes. We deceive ourselves if we think that any one of these is sufficient. To keep progressing, we must learn, commit, and do—learn, commit, and do—and learn, commit, and do again; being proactive is the essence of growth."
"You see, it's never the environment; it's never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events - how we interpret them - that shapes who we are today and who we'll become tomorrow."
"People look to time in expectation that it will eventually make them happy, but you cannot find true happiness by looking toward the future. So, wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences. Remember; discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make."
"What lies behind you and what lies in front of you pales in comparison to what lies inside you."
"Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; conversely, nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude."
"The personal power that comes from principle-centered living is the power of a self-aware, knowledgeable, proactive individual, unrestricted by the attitudes, behaviors, and actions of others or by many of the circumstances and environmental influences that limit other people."
