Transformed Life 2 Min Encouragement

What exactly are you thinking? Now? I catch myself asking clients that all the time. That's because we're talking about something in particular, and they're quiet. I know what they're thinking, but I want to know what they think because I want them to verbalize it. Because if I don't know, then I don't know. Here's another part of that. What are you thinking? What you think about tends to come tru...

We are not our mistakes. We aren't. We are all a little insecure, a little impatient, and selfish, and we all make mistakes. But really, life is about how we recover from those things. It's not like we're ever out of control. It's that we just don't let them control us. I know you're just as good as you can be all the time, and so am I. So let's practice recovering well when we're not having the b...

Today be satisfied with everything that you've done and do it your best I love you I'm Dan Clark

 Since it's a Saturday, how about if you do it? Whatever you want to do today, you just do it, you plan on doing it, and you do it well. You have fun, and you enjoy. Even if you have to work, it's just something you must do. So whatever you're doing today, I want you to do it and do it well. And enjoy the day. I love the day Saturday. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.

What are you actually doing? Yes, I want to know what you're doing. I don't want to know what the other person is doing. I don't want to see what you think about what they're doing and what you think about what's happening. I want to see what you are doing. Why do I want to know that? Because that's the actual truth. Did you say a swear word? Did you throw something? Did you slam the door? Did you...

When did you last sit quietly and think about your life? Yes, most of us think about what others are doing and how the world affects us. But we don't think about ourselves; telling the truth about who you are, is the best place to start. So sit down this week and think about you; what are you doing? What kind of things do you need to change about yourself? How can you be kinder, be better in the r...

Sometimes I feel like I can't move forward. It's like I'm stuck. Well, usually, when I'm stuck, it means that I'm not allowing myself to experience the moments previously fully. Because when I hold on to my emotions, I'm not talking about being angry at someone else. I'm talking about when I hold on to my feelings about myself when I don't tell the truth about myself, that I'm not living life. See...

Sometimes I believe it's hard to admit that we're not okay. How are you? I'm fine. I'm okay. I'm good. We all say that. And, of course, what we mean is don't ask because we don't want to tell the truth. The truth is, is that life is hard. And you know, it's hard, but you don't want to have to explain or defend, you know, it's okay to be okay. But it's also okay not to be okay. We need to stop tell...

Some days are just really, really sad. What do you do when you're really sad? Well, when I'm sad, I want to be alone for a while. And then I want someone to listen to me. Today, I had a really, really sad encounter. And this individual just needed someone to listen to them. I mean, they got angry, and they got sad. They talked about the bad things that are happening in the world. And they're obvio...

When's the last time you said I wish I hadn't said that? Or do I wish I hadn't done that? Sometimes, that's because we're not thinking about what we're doing. A fascinating rule is called the thinking making being the rule. What that means is that if you think about what you're doing and practice doing what you're thinking about, you will become or be that thing. So if you're thinking about being...

We're talking about motivation this week. And this last motivation we'll talk about today is fear, the motivation of fear, you know, if we're afraid that something's going to happen, or fear or worry, it motivates us to do things and to focus on things so that we don't expect or don't have rather, that fear, or the result of what we're going to fear to show up, you know, there's maybe some value i...

We've been talking about motivation. And I love this one; it's called internal motivation. You know, it's where we have this internal motivation based on what we want, not because of some outcome; that means that we're focused on the things that we want inside us because it's what we want as a reward, to feel good about ourselves. And this can be all kinds of things. It can be a spiritual walk, it...

This week, we're talking about motivation. And one of the motivations is about power. In other words, the person who is seeking some power, you know, wants to have control over things or things to go their way. It could be the president of an organization, or it could be just how you run your household or in a relationship, or it could just be the kind of business that you run or how you are in an...

This week we're talking about motivation. This following motivation today is called social motivation, like keeping up with the Joneses. Now we've all been there. You know, you're going with someone shopping, and the next thing you know, you're buying something you wouldn't usually buy and or, you know, you have to have a new car every other year, or you'd like to certain kind of clothes or a couc...

This week, we're going to be talking about motivation. Some of the most beautiful things I've ever accomplished were because I was motivated. And however, some days I'm just not motivated at all, even doing just the basic stuff of life, you know, like doing daily things that need to be taken care of. Now, motivation is always related to energy. But also, some other stuff is motivating. For example...

We've been talking about character and developing positive character traits this week, and I've been talking about integrity, integrity, and my definition is what you're doing when no one's watching. It means that you're doing things that are consistently the same. And you would not do something that would intentionally harm someone. The fascinating part about character is that it is something we...

Positive character traits are not something that we are born with. It's something that we learn or that we can develop things such as humility and generosity and kindness and goodness. Those are things that we can choose to create. I want to talk about integrity for a moment because that's difficult. Now, it doesn't mean that integrity is the same for everyone. But it does mean that there are cert...

Positive character traits are not born into us. They are something that we learn. Yes, it's true. We have to learn to have quality characteristics. This personal character that we are is more about who we become through the experiences that we've had. The surface is sometimes easy to describe, but sometimes it is not. Because there are lots of different things that we all want to have. However, th...

I was talking recently to a client about crying or tears. He shared with me how he didn't like to cry in public because it made him feel weak. Well, the truth is, our society has downplayed tears, whether men or women because it is something that we feel like that person doesn't want pity or whatever. But here's what we know about tears, your willingness to truly experience the sadness, or the joy...

Sometimes I think that "this just is not fun." Have you felt that way before?  Maybe it is because it is not fun. As I think about it from that perspective, perhaps I do not know how to have fun sometimes. Maybe the question would be, how would you define fun? I mean, what is fun to you?  Why are you doing it if you are not having fun? Right? Some things are not fun, but some a...

I'm wondering if we can do a topic called fun this week. I was thinking about having fun with a friend of mine earlier, and we're trying to figure out how you would define it. And fun is different for everyone. You know, when you watch children have fun, there's joy, happiness, they're playing together. There's no directive, and they're just really experiencing something enjoyable for them, not do...

Life is slow some days. And that's how my Sundays are, especially early in the morning; I get up slowly and think about my day. Maybe you do that too because Sunday feels like the day we should pay attention to our relationship with ourselves, possibly others, or God. You know, when you think about how meaningful relationships are, maybe we don't say or do the things we could to create value for t...

I've had many jobs in my life. And I can tell you that I've often had a lot of dislikes for the person that I worked for. Do you dislike your boss or the person you work for or with? Why, you know, we're talking about raising the level of energy or consciousness this week and understanding that when we dislike someone, especially if they have authority over us, it means we're judging ourselves. Su...

Do you like your car? Yes, that's a serious question. Do you want vehicles you're in want? Vehicles vehicle your vehicle type considered vehicles? Everyone in the United States owns a car? I mean, there's something about the relationship between cars in our social status, right? I mean, when you see someone in a vehicle that's, well, you know, you never want to drive that kind of car. You're judgi...

Do you like the house that you live in? Again, that's another question I'm asking this week about the word like, do you want your house? Well, now there might be things about your home that you'd like to see or your apartment. But what do you like about it? Most of us think about the things we don't like instead of the things we want, and there's a much better possibility that your energy in disli...
