Wayfirelabs.com Habits and Discipline are powerful. But Resilience is what shows up when they don’t.

In foothold number three of five we talk about identifying what a team is vs just a group of people working on the same goal. Hint, the difference is trust and connection.

But the most important, but overlooked and neglected skill we can develop is the ability to think and judge for ourselves.

This episode contains a lot of explanation of the process taken by yours truly over the last year for finding the key elements of fulfillment which is helpful in its own right, but feel free to skip ahead to about minute 23:00 if you just want the formula. Also below are the main takeaways. Learn to better follow your own internal compass, and don’t follow anything blindly. Be the judge and...

The perspective you need to keep to do your life’s work. So many people never take action because they are overly focused on things like whether someone is already doing that, or its old news, or there is too much competition in that saturated market to even try it now. There are books written about how to stop swimming with the sharks where there is blood in the water and create your own bl...

Its natural to get frustrated when you have a well developed plan and a good cause and things seem to come from every angle to get in your way, slow you down, and throw you off. This episode is a real life lesson on what was standing in the way of getting this podcast to the episode 50 milestone, and how to be more ready for that to happen whenever you really go for it. We can learn to expect it,...

What I have seen through personal experience, inspiration, and lots of conversations, observations, and research is that the number one cause of malaise, or chaos and a life out of sync is building it unknowingly upside down. Its not a debate that hard work, and money, and drive, and goals are a necessary ingredient, its just that they cannot hold up the weightier things that really matter in life...

This episode tells the story of the walking wounded in mind and spirit. Putting in a valiant effort, and never giving up. Getting results, and progress, but feeling unfulfilled and trapped with no understanding why. Trying to help others in worse condition, but ignoring their own, expecting it to resolve itself. Feeling like as long as we do our duty, serve, and keep others happy, our seemingly in...

One question that is really easy to overthink. Where do I start? What are the right steps to take after that? We won’t do a lot of things because we are not sure where to begin, or where its going to lead, or why its better than where we already are. People like to say control what you can control and don’t worry about what you can’t. But then that starts another analysis. What c...

I just had to share one more powerful principle from the book I recently read called “The Power of Truth” written in 1902 by the author, William George Jordan. The chapter I pulled the quotes from in this one is entitled “The Things That Come Too Late”. It has everything to do with how we have the power now to make them not too late. In this case its about not being quick w...

This episode is a summary in reference to another well articulated lesson from the book “The Power of Truth” written by William George Jordan back in 1902. Its a very common trope in today’s self development conversation. In an effort to remind everyone that they can’t fully rely on others to get the things they need, lots of leaders and gurus and “self-made” ro...

On a previous episode I mentioned a book called “The Power of Truth” by the author William George Jordan, written in 1902. It was so jam packed and striking to me that I have decided to share a principle or two from the book on an ongoing basis from time to time. In the chapter entitled Swords and Scabbards he talks about where we place our value and how some things may appear to be im...

Sarcasm, cynicism, minimizing significance or achievements or value, is a bad habit. Making something that is sacred or exciting or valuable and amazing or heroic or honorable to someone seem cheap or stupid or idiotic and misguided is cheapening it. Its a power that people think makes them funny or safe from the people and things that scare them. Guilty as charged of doing this at my weak moments...

Its easy to find reasons to not share our thoughts and lessons learned with the world. One of those being fear of judgement. Or in other words fear of being seen as a hypocrite.
