And I'm going to tell you the mission that I'm on for right now.

And the mission that I am on is to brainwash myself to be successful. So over the next two weeks, I'm prepping myself to get used to it and to build habits over the next two weeks to carry on into next year. And when I say brainwash, realize it's not some crazy Russian type of torture or anything like that. What I mean is, you know, air quotes brainwash. See, everything that I do, every free moment that I have, I'm brainwashing myself to be successful. And see, I talk a lot about what we focus on is what we will become and what our worlds will become. So if you think negative and you think about all the things that aren't going right, you will get negative. And if you think positive and you think about all the

things that are going right for you, then you will get positive results. And therefore, I'm brainwashing myself with reading books, with listening to audio books, with listening to podcasts as I work on my computer. Literally every single moment of my day, I am trying to quote unquote brainwash myself to be successful. I'm literally filling my brain all day long with positive thoughts, with business success stories, and anything else that I can do to focus my energy to create an outside world that I want. See, one of my goals for this year is to be able to create $5,000 in passive income a month by my birthday, which is at the end of March. So by that time, I want to be making at least $5,000 a month in passive income, which is at the end of March. So by that time, I want to be making at

least $5,000 a month in passive income. So I'm literally filling my brain with as much positive thoughts and business success stories that I can to create my outside world to be successful. And see, most people don't make this decision. They go through life as a passenger on their ship versus taking control and being the captain. If you think of your life as a ship, it's going to some destination. And if you're just acting as the passenger and not making decisions, then it's going to go somewhere and it's going to end somewhere, but you're not going to be in control of where that is.

You need to take control and be the captain and steer your ship to the destination that you want it to be. So I've been downloading a lot of audiobooks from audible.com and listening to them in the car. And even though I love listening to music, the next few weeks, it's all audiobooks. That's all that it is. And if you want to start on audible.com,

they actually have a special. If you go to mwfbook.com, they'll give you 30 days for free and a free book with it as well. So you can try that out if that's something that you want. Mwfbook.com. They'll give you 30 days for free and a free book with it as well. So you can try that out if that's something that you want, mwfbook.com. But once again, I'm using Audible Books to listen to in the car. And I had this conversation with my mom and we were talking about focus and focusing on positive stuff versus negative stuff. And I was talking about how I don't watch the news because the news focuses on all the

negative and it makes it seem like this world is getting worse and worse and more out of control. But the crazy thing about it is that's the complete opposite of how this world actually is going. They focus on all the bad, making you think that the world is getting worse. And I'm not trying to be like, I'm not using this as like a conspiracy theorist or anything like that. I'm just using this as facts to let you know that you're in control of what comes into your mind. And the news just focuses on bad stuff. But let me give you statistics from 1990 to 2014. Most people would think that the world is getting worse and worse. But let me give you, this is from the Department of Justice's website because I wanted to go on and look at the crime rates and look at the murder rates and all of these different things. And just the statistics from 1990 to 2014,

violent crimes are down 45%. Murder rates are down 52%. Our murder rates are lowest that they have been in 55 years since pre-1960. They're the lowest that they have been in 55 years. But you would think the complete opposite, wouldn't you? By all the stuff that's on TV. Rape crimes are down 36%. Robbery is down 60%. Assault is down 45%. Burglary is down 56%. Gun violence, which you would think is up way more than it has been, fatal and non-fatal gun violence is down 70% from 1993, according to the Department of Justice's website. So why am I telling you these things? The reason why is just because the media likes to focus on the negative. So if you pay attention to the media, you watch the news, and you see all this violence and all this bad stuff, naturally in your head, you're going to start to think that

the world is getting worse. So it seems like it's getting worse when in fact, it's gotten 50% safer in the past 25 years. So what I think of when I say brainwash is I want to brainwash myself with all of the stuff that I can to be successful, not the misleading media information. I'm going to brainwash myself and I can be in control of everything that comes into my brain. So if everything that comes into my brain is in my control, well then I'm going to take the driver's seat and I'm going to be in control of I want to learn this, I want to learn this, I want to learn this. I want to read books,

I want to listen to audiobooks from audible.com, and I want to download podcasts from different podcasts to listen to as I'm working. So I'm going to fill every free moment of my mind with things that make me more successful. And do you know why? Because that's what I'm in control of. You're also in control of what you fill your mind with as well. I'm in control of the information that goes into my mind. You're in control of the information that goes into your mind as well. So I recommend this. Brainwash yourself to be successful over the next few weeks and have that carry in to the new year with you as well. I recommend that you do the exact same thing as I, because I think that it's going to help us be successful for 2016. So with that, make it your mission to make somebody else's day better.
