Duncan Nugget® #66: Black Eyes and Bruises

In the movie Fight Club (starring Ed Norton and Brad Pitt) it turns out that the star characters are alter egos.  (They) he has been traveling around the country starting underground fight clubs and literally beating himself up—black eyes and bruises.

That’s bonkers, right? Of course, you would never do anything like that, would you?

Not so fast…

On average, you say (or think) 150-300 words per minute to yourself. If you are like the average person, most of it is negative. You’re beating yourself up—black eyes and bruises.

You would be ready to rumble if people told you some of the things you tell yourself. Cut it out. This ain’t Fight Club.

Million Dollar Question: 
Aren’t you tired of giving yourself 
black eyes and bruises?

Duncan Nugget® #95: Health and Wellness

I once saw someone working out on the treadmill while she was reading a tabloid. The publication was three levels below the National Enquirer. The story that she was engrossed in was about Elvis and Bruce Lee being kidnapped by aliens.

How ironic is that? She was taking good care of her body, but cramming all of that garbage into her mind.

Eating healthy and thinking healthy go hand because the mind and body have inescapable effect on each other. Substances introduced to the body affect the mind; processes introduced to the mind affect the body.

Million-Dollar Question:
Are you eating AND thinking healthy?

Duncan Nugget® #47: Focus on Your Strengths, Manage Your Weaknesses

One of the secrets of success is to constantly get better at what you do best and learn to manage or delegate when it comes to your weaknesses.

Focus on your strengths, manage your weaknesses.

Spend SOME of your time focusing on your weaknesses; spend MOST of your time focusing on your strengths.

In other words focus more on what you CAN do and less on what you can’t do. It’s not a question of “what’s wrong with you?”

Duncan Nugget® #94: Your Significant Other

In relationships, most men are driven by the desire for trust, acceptance, and appreciation. Most women are driven by the desire for caring, understanding, and respect.
