The Jenny Jacobs Podcast: Your Legacy

Be bold today and watch how it empowers you now and throughout the new year.

There are so many wonderful things that are happening around you each day. I know there are things I find fascinating that other people would find boring but I try to take joy in the little things in life. And once you learn about something new you might find joy in it too. You never know unless you try.

What you want in life is waiting for you! But you have to take the steps every day to accomplish it. Whether you feel like it or not. Stop sitting idly by and wishing something would happen.

Instead of trying to change or fix a situation simply be an encourager. Let the person know you’re there for them. There are many situations where a person has to walk their path alone but that doesn’t mean you can’t be there on the sidelines letting them know you are available if they need you.

We need both bitter and sweet in life. As difficult as it can be the bitter gives us perspective and builds resilience and the sweet helps us to understand how fragile life is and gives us a reprieve from the bitter.

Living your best life means being authentic in everything that you do. Not only being authentic with those around you but also, and maybe most important, to yourself. Part of creating a beautiful legacy is having the courage to be your authentic self which leaves a lasting impact on the lives you come into contact with.

Where focus goes energy flows - whatever you’re focusing on will always grow - both good and bad.

During this time of Easter where we remember and celebrate the risen Christ take that first step of accepting Christ as your Savior. This isn’t about religion. It’s about a personal relationship with the God who created this universe. He created you and He created you for a purpose on this earth.

The seasons of life ebb and flow. Don’t give up!

In a world where there are so many things we have absolutely no control over, the one thing we can control is how we respond to and think about an event in our lives.

Practicing is more about improving and evolving as a person as it is about the thing you’re doing.

Whatever your end result, embrace the process. Cultivate gratitude in the process. Being able to take those steps means you’re alive. Do the work. Take the next step.

If you keep doing nothing you’re going to keep getting nothing in return. But if you something… ANY thing… it will always turn into more.

Did you fail at something you really wanted to accomplish? That’s great. Now move on and try again. It’s already in the past and the simple fact of trying it strengthened your brain so… good for you!

“Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination.” Psychologist Fitzhugh Dodson

Pick one thing and go all in. Don’t be afraid of the growing pains. They are necessary to achieve things you may have never thought were possible. Embrace the uncomfortableness and watch your life grow and thrive!

Don’t let a perception become a “memory” that you keep visiting and accept as truth. The next time those negative thoughts take up residence in your mind stop and ask yourself… is this the truth?

We tend to make things more difficult on ourselves don’t we? We rationalize and procrastinate instead of doing the thing we KNOW we need to do.

Life is short and nothing is guaranteed but you will never know unless you try. Stretch your wings, move out of your cocoon into the wind and experience life on a whole new level.

How exciting that life gives us wake up calls - when we need them the most. Embrace demo day because what’s coming is even better than you can imagine!

Life is still beautiful - even when difficult times occur, when you’ve lost hope, when you can’t see through to the other side of things… life is beautiful.

Studies have shown that gratitude enhances your brain function and provides an overall greater quality of health.

Setting out to create something meaningful is never easy but incredibly worthwhile. Get crystal clear about your core values and goals!

Many times Plan-B is even better than Plan-A! Move ahead with focus and determination.

Be patient with yourself during the grieving process. You will get through this.
