You cannot have a dream that is above your identity. That's a quote from Anthony trucks. I heard him say that last weekend as I was sitting in some meetings. And here's what he said to us also, that who you see yourself as as who your real dream is, who you see yourself as is who your real dream is. That means that your identity is what your dream will become. So thinking about that perspe...

It is in the crisis that we build character. Now, none of us really liked the crisis, but it was shows up who we are is the character that's on the inside of us. It doesn't mean that we might struggle, it doesn't mean that we can't be unhappy with it. What it does mean is that if we want to build character, and integrity, we must be standing tall and doing our best when this crisis...

We all know that faith without works doesn't actually work because faith takes action. So I want to know, you can have all the faith that you have, but what are the actions that you're putting to your faith?

Take five minutes and close your eyes. Take a deep breath and think really deeply. Yes, I want you to breathe deeply today. And if you get distracted, it's okay.

Here's the skill I'd like you to practice is called sitting in a chair and noticing your breath for five minutes. The best way to do this is to close your eyes and sit quietly and just be aware of your breath. Now, if your mind's like mine, you get distracted by something that's happening around you. And when that happens, just bring your brain back to thinking about your breath. T...

I know you feel this way. Some days you get up and you feel so grateful for how things are going in your life. And if you don't feel grateful for them, you can actually start choosing to feel grateful right now. It doesn't really matter what's happening in your world. It matters what you do with what's happening around you. So just practice being grateful today. Smile right now. Lo...

The Days go by so fast. We all know that they do and today's already Tuesday. So how about doing this for me today, tell someone that you love them and actually do it in a way that they really experience a feeling that noticing that you love them. Touch them on the shoulder, give them a hug, look them directly in the eyes, but make sure that you slow down and tell them that you love them. You...

So what is Monday like for me? Well, it's a charge the Day of Giving away joy. You know, Joy is one of those things that we all have if we choose to have it, it's different than happiness. Joy is a place where you are so thrilled with what's happening around you. Because you are bringing the joy of life and the very fact that you're alive. Now you can actually have joy and be sad o...

It's 4am and I can't sleep. I know you've been here before where your mind is just racing and it won't stop those monkey mind thoughts. I know this happens to you also. So we all do this. I want to know what you do when this happens. But I do as I get out of bed if I can't stop it within 10 minutes or so because I want to do something different. I want to redirect my brain and...

Your heart is always telling you what kind of person that you really are, how kind and gentle and good you can be. Your brain reminds you about who you really are. And it's also talking to you all the time, but it's not always the most kind and gentle person and we know this, and your habits reveal which one of those who listen to the most, maybe we need to start listening to our heart a l...

Love is the experience you're having. It is not what someone is doing. I mean, think about it for just a moment. You actually have to choose to feel love your brain projects projects onto the moment, a past experience you that you have attributed that you consider to be a feeling of love based on the experience that you're having. So you don't just feel love because it's arbitrary....

Well, here's a fun fact. Did you know that when you smile, your brain releases tiny molecules called neuropeptides? We've talked about those before. They help fight off stress. And then, other neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins come into play. Also, they all play together. These endorphins act as mild pain relievers, whereas serotonin can be an antidepressant. These...

My friend, would you like to have the most beautiful day ever? Yes, a day where you can say how wonderful it was for you, how fantastic it was that you experienced the most joy and happiness ever. That day then, is not related to you thinking about yourself and the experience you're having. That day is related to you and your willingness to give yourself away. You know how you feel when you vo...

When I was growing up, no meant no, that means that when my mom said no, it was an absolute NO. And there was no way of talking, you're into it. I mean, it was a powerful No. And I know you know what I mean? Sometimes parents are just that way. And then there's the other side. Some parents aren't that way. They're not really convinced that no is a no and you can talk him into it. Y...

I used to think that I could do and be anything that I wanted. But now that I'm older, I'm recognizing that there are limits to what I can do, partly because I don't have a sports body or because the way my brain functions or other things that I have no control over. But there are things that I can always do that I have control over. And that is that I can be very kind and gentle and l...

friendships are sometimes hard to describe, you know, there's that friend that you have that would do anything for you. Or you would do anything for them. That kind of thing when you think about that they have your back. We all at some point have had friends like that, or maybe we have had friends like that. But my thought here today is are you that kind of friend for someone? Would you do any...

You just got this text from me on your phone. And so, subsequently, since you have your phone in your hand, I want you to take a moment and look at your photo app. What do you notice?

You know, we can tell an awful lot about you if we look at your photo app. So let's th...

Not long ago, I was shopping, and as I was walking to the store, I noticed this couple who were slowing down and pretty soon they turned toward each other and just gave each other a very warm hug a very warm embrace as I was standing there, noticing them, someone standing next to me said something that I was actually thinking, wow, that was nice to observe. You know, when you see someone truly hug...

I'm one of the most selfish people in the world. And I'm just like you. That's because we both have this idea about life that we want others to treat us well when in reality, we should treat others well. If you want to know how well your relationships are going, whether it's someone that you work with someone, you're in an intimate relationship, or a child, notice the way that...

I have a question for you. What do you think about fear? I believe fear is the most debilitating emotion that we can have. Because fear prevents us from doing something we want to, no matter what it is. Any excuse that we have is based on fear. And the only way that fear ever goes away iis by action, doing something, or courage. If we are courageous, fear goes away. So what do you need to be bold...

What's the difference between proactive and reactive? Well, reactive is pretty apparent. It's like you step on a landmine, and next thing you know, things are going terribly; you're in drama. Proactive means that you're filtering what you're experiencing, particularly if they're words being said to you, and you decide to calmly decide how to handle them without being reacti...
