We All Go Forward

#007- No one opts for a setback, right? Wrong! We opt for them all the time--in the form of relationship. Dharius Daniels, author of Relational Intelligence, writes "Your greatest gifts walk into your life on two legs".  Inherent in that statement is the fact that often, our greatest hindrances walk into our lives the same way. When a hindrance walks in, will we direct ourselves accordin...

#006- In this episode, we explore 8 additional attitudes needed for progress in life. That's right, 8! Who knew that many attitudes existed? We take a deep dive into addressing how our thinking is reflected in everything from how we look/show up in our world to how we pursue opportunities, and even how (or if) we share opportunities. It's intense but in all the best ways. In this season...

#005- Attitudes. We all have them. We often see them as isolated expressions of how we're feeling or dispositions we take on for the day depending on our good fortune (or lack thereof).

So even when surprises happen, even when we're not...

#002- "Life comes at you fast"--a saying that's just as applicable to the good, as it is, the bad. Equally applicable; Not equally enjoyable. A fast and unexpected "Surprise!" often accompanies feelings of euphoria in the setting of a party, a winning lottery ticket, or good gifts. In the setting of a setback...well "surprise" just feels like life is being plain...

#001- Welcome to the journey of tackling the inevitable nature of hard moments, also known as setbacks. We learn how to define them and through what vantage point to view them; because without awareness and diagnosis, there can be no prescription.
