It's easy to respond with negativity in a negative world. But what if one bad thought led to a day of bad decisions? Would you think differently? Some believe it is your attitude that determines your success. And choosing to think with positivity only leads to a better day. If we dwell on the things that are bad, we never make space for the things that are good. In this episode, you'll discover th...

When everything goes wrong in life, it's easy to throw in the towel. The obstacles seem too great and it feels like everyone is against you.  But every successful person has ups and downs. The difference is whether you use your problems to prosper (or tear you down).  Perseverance is what leads you closer to everything you want. And if you let every obstacle get in your way, life never improves. I...

With everything happening in the world, everyone needs a space they can feel safe in.  Turning on the TV makes you full of anxious and fear. You want to help others but feel without hope. Living in bad news for too long breaks the most uplifting spirits. It traumatizes the mind and turns everything else toxic (even if you don't realize it). Having a safe space is about more than stepping out of th...

Having friends is a blast. You enjoy the good times and feel loved. You might even think you have a lot of them.  And then life goes south… You might need a helping hand or someone to talk to.

If you only focus on your friends in the good, you'll nev...

Having a teachable spirit is about the hunger for knowledge. You care more about learning something than what it offers you. And the more you learn, the more you find value in everyday experiences. Your curiosity leads to a better life.  If you stop learning, you stop growing. You find your life is lacking in discovery and new ideas. Knowledge is always the cure. In this episode, you'll discover h...

Whether you're stuck in painful memories or too scared to make a move, forgiveness isn't always easy. And while some of us can forgive at the drop of a dime, others spend a lifetime trying. Some never forgive at all.  Forgiveness leads to a life of more freedom and peace. But getting there can feel impossible when emotions take over. As long as you hold a grudge, the grudge holds you.   In this ep...

If you've never heard of the word 'gusto,' it means doing something with zest or a spark. That's the way most of us want to live our lives.  But most people don't live with gusto. They're stuck in their comfort zones, which prevent them from taking on the challenges they need to grow. Having gusto is about pushing out of comfort zones to live life to the max. If you can't step out of your comfort...

But that's not how you become a man of true wisdom and character and build a legacy that lasts.  It's about carrying the right traits and being authentic. A good man always makes practical choices and uses sound judgment to make a positive impact on himself and the world. In this episode, you'll discover how to build your authe...

Wisdom is 'inner intuition' or a deep knowing of something. And while we have the capacity for good sense, it can get mixed up in the noise of our busy lives.  Everything is about instant gratification (instead of sound judgment and common sense). Nowadays, knowing wisdom and practicing wisdom are two different things. In this episode, you'll discover the six lessons of wisdom for leading a life o...

We all like music, TV and conversations, but you might be surprised by the damage noise can do (even when you're having fun). Clogging your brain with loud sounds, alerts, and pings leads to a poor sleep schedule and sabotages your ability to focus. And you can't lead if you can't think. While quiet time can feel like you're missing out on something, it gives your brain time to reflect and rest (w...

Momentum can move you forward almost effortlessly - or keep you stuck wherever you are.  When your positive habits gather momentum, success is on autopilot. But when laziness, complacency and negativity gather momentum, it chains you to the status quo.  Positive momentum is hard to get started. But it fast-tracks your results and lets you exceed your goals (without working yourself to the bone). I...

It may not come as a surprise that being resourceful is your "secret weapon" to powering through goals and quickly adapting to new situations.  But resourcefulness isn't about having everything - it's about using the tools you already have for the results you want. Some of the most successful people started out with nothing but a little 'out-of-the-box' thinking to achieve the impossible.  In this...

We all have the desire to be happy. A happy life gives you confidence, success, and a purpose in everything you do. But embracing happiness can sometimes feel out of your control (especially when you're facing tough times in life).  There is, however, a commitment you can make to being the best person you can be - and that starts with making the choice to be happy.  In this episode, you'll discove...

The lack of a unified message in the world has certainly made it easy to judge others (or even face judgment yourself). But making assumptions and shaming others doesn't help you find common-ground in a problem, it only creates a stronger divide.  Having differences shouldn't be about tearing each other down, but lifting each other up.  In this episode, you'll learn why shame and judgment only mak...
