Why do we wait for people to finally pass on before we fly there to say goodbye if someone’s in dire straits and on the brink why wouldn’t we go there while they are alive to say goodbye to connect with them as opposed to waiting till after they pass to go fly there to say goodbye. #crushlife

Life is very short as we know and really soon we start getting to the age where all those things we thought would happen or could happen later in life are starting to happen it’s already happening there is no later in life is only now live it the way you dream it because it can all be gone in an instant.

The stories that you tell yourself are they really true based on facts or the things you conjured up in your head to avoid some fear or some uncomfortable places in your life take a few moments to really think about it and see if you’re believing the stores that are made up in your head because of real life facts or because you are trying to avoid doing something or saying something or trying some...

I think a lot of the stressors that we deal with each day we conjure up in our own mind I didn’t courage myself and all of you to take a step back take a breath and get some perspective that what you’re stressing about might not be such a big deal think about it

So many times were distracted not actually paying attention to the person I’m with, my child, my coworkers etc. take a look up, take your time and practice paying attention to one another. our most valuable asset is time and it is a gift to give your time to someone. be present #crushlife

How come most times we share a life goal or challenge or dream with the people we love or anybody for that matter they will first start listing the reasons why it’s impossible to difficult and why I will never complete the goal why don’t we ever do fall towards the supportive how can I help that’s fascinating I’m excited for you let’s do this why don’t we default to that I’m not saying we need to...

Close your eyes and the first person who pops into your head right now Bam stop and send them a text message and just say hey I was thinking about you I hope you have a great day this will change your day it’ll change their day and you may even reconnect and have a nice chat have an awesome day #crushlife

here’s a prime example of me double and triple booking myself I’m trying to do the things in life that I really want to do I’m trying to fit them into my life man it’s not easy #crushlife

i’m watching all these people texting and driving and they’re all going very slowly and giving everybody in front of them plenty of room geez that’s funny I make all these laws to try to help people and all we had to do was laugh allow them to text and drive in there now they slow down

this podcast I realize every morning is just a recording of me in the middle of a midlife crisis trying to get the rake out of my corporate role and into a life I’ve designed and that can also support my life and dreams of me and my family here we go. #crushlife

I want a new car but a lot of the reasons I wanna new cars because I can feel embarrassed from time to time in the car I’m driving so really my ego is the one driving the new car purchase when I don’t necessarily need it and I don’t want this car to get in the way of possible future family vacations and things of that nature so ask your self is a $700 a month car payment really worth it?
