Adam is an uncommon name in Farsi speaking cultures.
The word translates to “human”.
Given my grandpa’s horrendous adversities in life, he chose to give me a name for a greater purpose.
Find out why below.

It should be noted that my grandpa had been imprisoned when he was 6 years old for decades, had his uncles, brother, and cousins die of execution and illness, was denied a visa to see his father for 8 years (whom he had been separated from for over 30 years due to exile), and much more.
This advice has more density than life advice you’ll find from another self-help book or coach.

I asked my grandpa what he learned from all his adversities, which include being imprisoned at 6 years old for decades, living through his uncles and cousins being executed and his brother and more relatives dying of diseases, and many more hardships.
His response is a powerful example of how no matter what circumstances we face in life, we always have the choice to give any meaning to it and our experience of life.
Choose responsibly.

He lived through hard times with his family members being executed and dying of disease, many of them at a premature age.
After his release from prison, he wasn’t allowed to see his father who was in exile, whom he had only remembered being with once in his life prior to his imprisonment, and even that was a vague memory…like a fading dream.
Throughout his decades of hardship and adversity, he carried an attitude of optimism.

And where does negative begin?
Where does positive begin?
Life isn’t black and white.
It’s not about right or wrong.

Before that, she was always told that chocolate was bad for her.
She’d do her best to pick the higher quality brands, but nothing matched the quality of what she’s created today.

These two healing modalities are Network Spinal Analysis and Somato Respiratory Integration. Both of these were developed by Donny Epstein, which are geared to upgrade a person’s nervous system…their operating system for life.
Tracy’s first experience with Network Spinal Analysis turned her world upside down in an amazing way and she felt a level of l...2016-03-2853 minThe Soulfully Optimized Life with Adam SiddiqEverything DOESN’T Happen For A ReasonEverything DOESN’T happen for a reason…
Everything just happens, it’s you who makes up the reasons.

In fact, Tony Robbins created a psychological model called The 6 Human Needs.
The need for meaning relates to the 3rd need he describes: Significance.

Life isn’t a story.
Life isn’t a meaning.
Life is an experience.

I was rolling around the ground in shock as I felt the heat and numbness rise in my foot.
I was playing indoor soccer and had just done a one-two pass with my teammate and I had a clear opening to score a goal…except I slipped on the turf, my toes bent back and ankle twisted to the left.
I wasn’t in intense pain, more shock. I haven’t experienced an injury like this for years. And then I realized the gift spontaneously…
Before I left for soccer, I was co...2016-01-2128 minThe Soulfully Optimized Life with Adam SiddiqFrom Corporate America To World Cup Qualifiers With AfghanistanSo many of us dream about becoming a pro athlete when we’re young… and those of us with the passion, vision and hustle often make it to the collegiate level.
It’s at the collegiate level where many of us decide if we’re serious about playing pro or we’re going to focus on our career, business, or some other mission.
Ahmad Arash Hatifie was one of these guys…until a chance opportunity came through and he was invited to tryout for the Afghanistan National Soccer Team.

Everybody wants it.
When we’re confident, we feel empowered.
We know who we are, what we’re here to do and what we’re capable of.
People buy books, read articles, work with coaches, and use a variety of strategies everyday with the intention of becoming more confident in their life.
And many of these sources have great insights and strategies that are effective…but unfortunately it’s usually a mental or emotional form of confidence, and that doesn’t always last.

Time? Money? Not enough energy? Don’t know the right people? Don’t know how to get started? Not educated enough? Too educated?
What do all of these have in common?
Their resources. And it’s bullshit to believe that it’s a lack of resources that’s holding you back.
