Stop Sliding, Start Deciding

What a Privilege, Not What a Pain

So many things you're frustrated by today are things you used to pray for. Author Will Guidara has a line that reframes everything, about being tired from work you once begged for, and outgrowing what you used to settle for. "What a privilege to outgrow things you used to settle for." The circumstance doesn't change. Only the lens does. Which one are you choosing today?

Run Towards Something

A few years ago, in the near dark of an early morning, I saw an older gentleman running with a flashlight strapped to his head. I had to stop and ask him what he was running for. His answer changed how I think about goals, purpose, and momentum. "It's not what I am running from or even for. It's what I am running towards." Most people run from something. Few people run towards something. This is your wake up call to be one of the few. 📘 Grab a copy of The Optimistic Outlook: https://www.amazon.com/Optimistic-Outlook-Lessons-Important-Muscle/dp/B0G4R5VJH1/ [https://www.amazon.com/Optimistic-Outlook-Lessons-Important-Muscle/dp/B0G4R5VJH1/]

See the Sunrise

There are only two ways to see a sunrise live. You get up early, or you go to bed really late. This one is for the early riser. Jim Rohn had a famous answer when people asked why he was always up before everyone else, and it says everything about mindset, purpose, and where you're headed. "When you're fired up about where you're going, seeing the sunrise is no problem." Get up early enough to catch it, and then go attack your day. 📘 Grab a copy of The Optimistic Outlook: https://www.amazon.com/Optimistic-Outlook-Lessons-Important-Muscle/dp/B0G4R5VJH1/ [https://www.amazon.com/Optimistic-Outlook-Lessons-Important-Muscle/dp/B0G4R5VJH1/]

A Short Break Might Be The Answer

Passion is a funny thing. When you have it, you can't imagine life without it. When it's gone, you can't imagine getting it back. In this episode, I tell the story of a guy named George who lost his love for music and stumbled into the one thing that brought it back: a break he didn't choose. "When something you love starts to feel like an obligation, pushing harder isn't always the answer." Sometimes stepping away is the fastest way back. 📖 Grab the book: Optimistic Outlook on Amazon [https://www.amazon.com/Optimistic-Outlook-Lessons-Important-Muscle/dp/B0G4R5VJH1/]

Brainwash Your Way to Success

Michael Jackson had a daily habit most people don't know about. He'd take a black marker and write his goals across his bathroom mirror. Thriller went on to become the best-selling album in history. "You are being brainwashed every single day. The only question is whether you're the one doing it on purpose." Most of us are already being brainwashed. Just not intentionally. This episode is about flipping that script. 📖 Grab the book: Optimistic Outlook on Amazon [https://www.amazon.com/Optimistic-Outlook-Lessons-Important-Muscle/dp/B0G4R5VJH1/]
