“I have a funny story to tell you that’s a mix of divine comedy and paradoxical satire.”
Earlier this week, I said goodbye to my Los Angeles home and packed up to head down South to a little town called Carmel Valley. It’s a special place that’s right on the perimeter of a city called Del Mar, which is about a mile and half away from my dad’s home (and my family)…
… and if you were to ask me a nice way to describe the new neighborhood, I would say “suburbia“.
Which makes me laugh, because I went from living in one of the hippest and most happening areas in Los Angeles (Santa Monica) to almost overnight, being in track-home central surrounded by family parks and screaming kids.
… But I’m close to my dad…and that’s really all that matters right now.
So laugh with me…
… Because that’s really the best way to handle a situation like this….with comedy.
Seriously, can you see how hilarious and interesting life is!?!? If my so-called “plans” unfolded the way my consciousness was intending, I would currently be living on the tropical island of Maui (Hawaii) on a large plot of land surrounded by fruit trees and waterfalls…
… And instead, I am here, right now, in San Diego, in a big house, with a nice yard, and new carpet. What a trip…
So what’s the point?
… You may be thinking to yourself (because that’s what I would be doing if I was reading this….haha).
The point is that life is mysterious, magical, and un-known. No matter how much you attempt to predict and control your circumstances, it is absolutely inevitable that, at some point, something will happen that will dramatically and drastically shift you from your course.
And guess what….there is nothing you can do about it.
So the question is not: “how do you prevent these types of things from happening?” but rather “how are you going to handle them when they do?”
… Are you going to dwell in your story, and take every opportunity to attract sympathy and remorse from others (because they will give it to you)?
… Or are you going to experience the circumstance fully, learn every lesson that you can, and take every opportunity to transmute this energy into something good and useful?
Because…
What I have learned over the years is that life is nothing more than a perspective… A vantage point… A string of decisions.
… And how enjoyable, rich, happy, loving, and grateful you are comes down to one thing… what perspective you take..
So here’s my question to you?
How are you going to handle your current reality?
… Are you going to see your circumstances as a barrier to the fulfillment of your desires?
Or are you going to find a way turn them into something positive, something useful, that lights a fire under you to really help people in a way that you never have before…with courage and passion.
Because I’ll be honest with you…
That is exactly what I feel like is happening to me these days.
As time feels more and more precious, and as I am faced with even more challenging, crazy, unexpected circumstances…
… I feel an even deeper sense of duty, purpose, and responsibility to share these profound life-lessons with you, in a way that you really get, in the hopes that they will help you experience more happiness, joy, fulfillment in your life immediately…
… because this brings me great joy.
Which, if you can see, is pretty amazingĀ because for so long, business has been such a source of pain and suffering for so many people. Yet today, it can be the very thing that brings you an exceptional amount of joy and comfort…even in times of intense pain and transformation.
… Which is why I am so passionate and committed to teaching you everything I can so you can create a business that gives you this same freedom and opportunity.
Because I’ll say this: Between being able to share these stories with you, and having an absolute kick-ass awesome team that continues to drive our business forward in remarkably powerful ways…
I am grateful. Truly. Deeply. Authentically
Share your thoughts…
If this personal letter inspired you, angered you, excited you, comforted you, or made you feel funny (no, not the sliding down the rope in gym class kinda funny)…
Please leave a comment below.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy reading your expressions.
Much love,
Max
P.S. As of this morning, we had 12 spots left for Get Centered Fast….so I imagine they will be gone by the end of the weekend. If you need support in shaping a life perspective that serves you, CLICK HERE to watch the short video…
