Here in Success Freaks Land, we HOBA.
Yes indeed we do. Oh…you don’t know what that means? Allow me to edumacate you with our Freakazoid way of speaking. HOBA, very simply, means “Help Others Be Awesome,” and that’s what we are all about. The more we do this, the more we realize that helping others is the key to success.
You see, in the beginning you’re working on you, figuring out how to help yourself move forward in life and it’s okay to be a little selfish then. In fact, it’s necessary. Along the way, you start meeting like-minded people who are willing to share their knowledge with you. It may not be everything you need to succeed, but each person the Universe sends you holds pieces of your success puzzle. The more you open yourself up…the more like-minded people you meet…the more you find yourself succeeding. That’s when that little “light bulb” appears over your head and it finally dawns on you…this is how the successful people do it.
Doesn’t it, therefore, make sense to share your knowledge with others in need? Of course it does.

It would be wonderful if chasing the American Dream was as “Happily Ever After” as it’s depicted to be. Often we have to slog through a lot of heavy lifting, horse manure (helps things grow), and unpleasant people to get where we’re going. Just as you are entering into a “relationship” with any job or career, you are also entering into relationships with the people you work with. It’s up to YOU whether you make it a good, bad or neutral experience. Many of you spend mucho time in a work environment, which means you’re spending mucho time with co-workers. If you decide those relationships are going to be bad, you’ll be right.
“What you think about, you bring about.”
Spending that much time with anyone, especially if personalities clash, can often make for a very volatile work environment. Just know it’s not good enough to “sweep problems under a rug” and/or “stick your head in the sand” enough to ignore it. You have to make a conscious choice to find positive ways to deal with unpleasant work situations and/or relationships.

You are plugging along with your life…dealing with the J.O.B., having fun with your friends, finally meeting that special someone that you’re sure you want to spend the rest of your life with. It’s fun, it’s exciting, and you’re loving the chance to explore all of the possibilities of a real romance and, dare you think it…something more. Then, seemingly out of the blue, you discover that there will soon be three of you. A baby is on the way. Of course it’s a shock, but you think you’ve got this covered. It can’t be that hard being a parent. You go to the baby showers, collect the items you think you’re going to need to take care of a little one, read every book you can find about being a parent, and feel like you’re really ready for the big event. However, you never think about how this one little change in your life will affect everything else in your world. Your relationships with your friends, your relationships with your family, even your relationship with each other. Suddenly you go from being a couple to starting a family. How are you going to deal with it all?

Social Media outlets like Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ have been instrumental in people reaching out and touching the world. However, these amazing connectors, these awesome uniters (which may or may not be a word) can also act like buffers, causing people to keep in touch more via social media than through face-to-face “real conversations.”
Is there a problem here?
Are we losing touch with humanity by constantly staying in touch digitally?
In this episode of Success Freaks, our “More Than Just Facebook Friends” Comedic Motivational show hosts, Mordant & McFall, bring up the subject of the life we all lead “On Beyond Facebook.”
This is not to say that Social Media as a whole is bad. Obviously, a lot of good comes from Social Media. Friendships are formed, ideas are birthed and come to fruition, the voice of the people in politics—not just ours, but all over the world—is finally being heard. However, we need to take things further. On Beyond the buffer of Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Google+, etc. Take these friendships we’ve formed, this social interaction we are enjoying, to another level. Let’s not, in using our superpower of reaching out and touching the world, forget our basic need for physical human contact.

This month marks the beginning of “themed months” here on Success Freaks. February’s theme is “Relationships” and Mordant & McFall will tackle different types of relationship issues each week. Tonight this “Knight in Shining Armor” Comedic Motivational Show is all about the relationship you have with yourself, loving yourself, and being responsible for you own happiness.
The first step you must take on your path is to realize that you are responsible for your Life experiences. You are responsible for your own happiness. You, you, Y-O-U! For you to have the best life possible…or even just a better life, you have to accept responsibility for what happens in it and especially your own happiness. If you’re waiting for your “White Knight” to come to your rescue, you’re going to be waiting a long time. When it comes to “Saving Your Life,” you have to believe that the person best suited and most reliable to come to your rescue…is you.
This is where your journey of self-actualization begins. Start loving yourself enough to take responsibility for your Truth…your Consequences…your Life. “Every master started off as a disaster.” ~ T Harv Eker ~ When you become responsible you can fix whatever needs fixin’ in your own life.
