Today, I want to share with you 2 life lessons that I believe
will make a big difference in your life especially if you’re like me.

To demonstrate this, I’m going to have to tell you what
arrived in my inbox earlier today.

The Nasty E-mail

“In your zeal to motivate people, you blatantly
use foul language, such as bull—-. If this is how you express
yourself with an edited recording, I can only imagine what flows
through your mouth on a regular basis. Did you ever stop to think
that the e-mails that you send out go to not only people that fear
God, but women, some of whom are old enough to be your mother and
grandmother? Don’t you think that this is being disrespectful?”

He was referring to this recording that I received so many
“Thank You!” and “I needed to hear that!” e-mails which
I sent you two days ago :

Yes, I did use the BS word but it was just to kick people out
of their patterns like Tony Robbins does (and he uses even fouler
language than I do) and move them into ACTION.

Having said that I would like to sincerely apologize if some
people were offended by that - I was just being cruel to be kind.

Oh by the way, my friends would laugh if you told them that I
speak in a foul language because 95% of them have NEVER heard
me utter any - TRUE STORY.

OK HERE’S LIFE LESSON #1

Over the past two years of running AskSaiful.com,
I’ve received a lot of hate mail.

Even when I give my best, they always come.

BREAKING NEWS : I used to be so affected by them because of the
way I’m wired that I would feel so depressed and read them over
and over again and ask “Where did I go wrong?”

EVEN MORE BREAKING NEWS : IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU!

In the wise words of pop singer, Avril Lavigne:

“Cause either way you’re gonna think what you believe
There’s nothing you could say that would hurt me”

No matter how pure your intentions are, people are going to
oppose you. If people aren’t opposing you, you’re not doing
it right.

=> Reframe : Superman has people opposing him because they
want to do bad. If he tries to please them, the world would be a
total chaos.

OK HERE’S LIFE LESSON #2

Your motivation to do what you do shouldn’t be from a space
of “I want approval of others” - I did that and trust me, not
worth it.

It shouldn’t be because you’re trying to escape a fear
- best example is people working hard and becoming rich
because they’re afraid to be poor and is constantly in a
state of fear.

IT’S THE LAW : YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE.

If you want approval of others, you’ll always be wanting
approval of others, even if you have 1,000,000 approvals.

If you’re afraid of being poor, you’ll always be afraid of being poor
even if you’re a multi-millionaire!

I’ve found that it’s best to live life with three purposes in mind.

MY THREE LIFE PURPOSES

1) Doing The Things That Bring Me The Feelings I Want.

If you were to ask a child what he wants, he’ll probably
tell you, “I just want to do what I want!” or “I just want
to be happy!” or “I just want to do what I love!”

I believe the purpose of life is to be happy, as simplistic
as that may sound.

So, I just continue doing what brings me love, joy,
gratitude, excitement, passion and all those fuzzy
feelings!

2) Giving.

The more I thread on this path called Life, the more
I begin to realize the truth that I don’t really want to
take from people as much as I want to give to them.

Giving is what brings me fulfillment.

Receiving is what rejuvenates me.

3) Growing.

I derive a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment from
growing everyday in every area of my life through
the Fulfillment Five.

Keyword : Every area of my life, even if it’s only
1 percent, it makes a big difference.

We’re either growing or dying. I choose to grow.

QUICK RECAP

1) The best way to know if you’re succeeding is
to see how much rejection you receive.

The more rejection you receive, the more
successful you become - TRUE STORY.

2) When going after a goal, make sure that you’re
coming from a place of Inspiration instead of
negative motivation.

This comes from doing what gives you the feeling
of joy and love.

This comes from doing things in servitude.

This comes from devoting your life to a purpose
higher than yourself.

For me, that’s by running this website and helping
others while making a living from it =)

In other words, getting paid to do what I love.

If you’re interested to do the same, read this note
I wrote to you yesterday.

I hope you derived alot of value from today’s blog
post, my friend!

Devoted To A Higher Purpose,

Saiful Rizal

P.S. Yesterday, I posted a really good video on
the Law of Attraction on Oprah.

I highly suggest you take 20 mins off your day
and watch it. REALLY GOOD STUFF!

P.P.S. There’s also a good story waiting for
you there that I’d like you to read so….
