We continue on about how to really make our change count. To make a goal 🥅 then plan out a task and or tasks to do daily and repeat the tasks until they become habit... then re vamp those tasks to continue on wards and up wards! We need to do the tasks which means we need to take actual action to implement and execute on our goals for change. Check each task off and at the end of each day we can...

Some of you may know I don't at all believe in dates on a calendar whether it's May or January I'm all in 100 percent of the time... so all the hugging 🤗 bunnies 🐰 and the high fives and the hoooo raaaa raaaa on the eve of New Years and then again on New Year's Day makes me laugh a little because Talk is Cheap and ACTION is what will make it happen. So how do we make tasks to stick to our goals?...

For those of us who have been blessed and fortunate enough to travel on a plane ✈️ we all know the issues of delays- lay overs- wait times - missed connections- Now no matter how prepared we are or how seasoned we are at travel we are still in the hands of the travel gods when it comes to how quick or long travels may take. So for me personally and this is just me - I try to pack snacks and health...

Sometimes lesson's come at the weirdest times - and today for me it came in the form of a work out 🏋- I was paired up with 2 massive humans each man being around 6 foot something and weighing in at around 200 and something. I felt in my mind like I was the weak link - smaller and not able to move the weights around as easy as both them could and I also do not have the power to pull the machine we...

Today I was just taken back by the beauty of it all- and what do I mean by that? Well today was a full day of doing interviews with some amazing 😉 people from the island 🌴 of Maui who are doing just incredible things for themselves and those around them. As you know from my tag line "The Rocky Balboa of the Podcast Game" my plan was to basically do these interviews by myself with a selfie 🤳 sti...

It never gets old - to me at least "what you ask?" The simple fact that everyday is the chance to learn something new and to improve and empower ourself- today I was reminded of that on the smallest scale ... that nano or micro Improvement the ones you almost can't see until at some point ☝️ off in the future we look 👀 back and see how far we have truly come -today's lesson was how the smallest c...

As I watched a bunch of young kids on the beach 🌊 today I learned a valuable lesson- the way I or we think or presume or want something to be had no value or wait to what the universe is going to do with a situation that has nothing and I mean nothing to do with me or us- not our lesson to learn and I or we can not teach that lesson to the situation or people - that is a universal lesson and teac...

I continue on about the event that took place and I was a part of on the beach today and what came to me the seconds- as I 👀 looked into the eyes of the man I helped to shore -what I thought was a lesson for him.... was actually a lesson for me and all of us. Life can be taken from us at anytime- ANYTIME 💥🙏so to live a mediocre life or a life we don't want to be living just does not make sense-...

Another blessed day at the beach 🌊 and I was so grateful for a day of playing in the water and body surfing 🏄- not to many people around and I was just taken by the beauty the warm crystal blue water 💦 the blue sky and warm breezes - just absolutely blessed.... there was an issue with a man who was caught in a rip tide and I caught him out of the corner of my eye- myself and another man help hi...

I am for real not one that believes in human made calendar events - like I should tell someone I love ❤️ them on this date or buy them a present 🎁 on this date- phuck that. However the universal calendar I fully subscribe to- I personally and this is just me think there is something powerful about major event such as summer /winter solstice and others like that. I had the amazing opportunity to a...

I continue on about how the fact that I did not just reacted and instead just listened allowed the lesson to aid in my growth and evolution of mind body and spirit yes I took a little beat down 😪but it was well worth it - it truly only makes us stronger to know what we are capable of if we truly appreciate and follow what's in our heart ❤️- never let anyone or anything steal your shine or light!!...

Wow 😳- I had an evening with a twist - where some peoples true feelings came out about me... and I can tell you this is that 10 minutes I was lambasted with comments and gestures - as I sat back and listened....take that in listened 👂the fact I have some self awareness was a true blessing -I did not react although all the normal human feeling came up -ego hurt 😭, feelings hurt, anger, wanting t...

In life for me especially I want to learn something everyday to better myself and those around me everyday 🙌 so to educate and humble myself is a daily thing - to have that child 👶 like mind that doesn't know and doesn't pretend to know is bliss... yet I get comments, emails and even texts with question, feedback and sometime rebuttals to some of the things I have said - which is a beautiful thi...

In this episode I speak on my own personal experience with sitting in on a conversation with a mother and grandmother speaking about the granddaughter or daughter- the grandmother 👵 who showed me her granddaughters insta and snap accounts (super hip grandmother for real!) spoke about how the granddaughter was very talented at her job how booked up she was and how she lived such a perfect 👌 life...

I continue on about how upset 😭 this lady got me by her throwing a temper tantrum on the beach 🌊 and yet how amazing it is to have to awareness to see what your mind is actually doing. Control your mind don't let it control you 🙌 in the end it took me at least 5 minutes to learn and move out of that space 🚀 which really had nothing to do with me - I let someone else's actions effect my vibes!!...

On this journey of mine... of ours : please people we are human we are not perfect 👌 we are not selling snake 🐍 oil with a bold faced lie that you will be cured of all your issues overnight- I am almost 10 years deep in this practice and this lesson today that the universe taught me shows me 2 things how truly far I have come -which is amazing 😉 and yet how far I have to go!! Which is also equa...

I continue on about the documentary the universe put into my head and how I had to overcome all the wiring and programming that was in my head and force myself to turn around and head back into the storm - to experience and live like a child trying something for the first time - it was truly magical- I felt empowered that I did this and LIVED truly LIVED through something new. This to me is a meta...

The universe continues to bring emotions and teachings up for me on my journey to heal my mind body and soul on this trip- today as I sat spoiled rotten in the sun ☀️ meditating in shallow water while grounding in the sand- a storm blew up - and my immediate response was to run for cover leave to get out of the rain ☔️ ?🤔 A response based on past events and attached to an emotion from the past-...

As I walked by an older man 👴🏻 today who was what looked like poor health - I as I always do with vibrant energy said "hello sir I hope 🤞 you are well" to my surprise I did not get a response... this does happen to me from time to time- what happened next in my own mind lead me down a path of thoughts 💭 that were attached to emotions that were attached to my past- a whole lot of thinking done...

Again the universe always provides and teaches us- I had an amazing learning lesson with a group today the conversation was all about issue's that this group was having with financial problems and not being able to send family presents 🎁 can only have one car- can barley afford rent- and so on and so on - yet the more we chatted (and by that I mean they complained) the real talk started. They eat...

I was in an establishment today having an amazing vibe -food and music zone when the owner and an employee came out to have a discussion or heart to heart ❤️- the employee had missed a bunch of shifts with no word- no call in just a no show after no show leaving the rest of the team high and dry - however showed up today asking for a raise and better shifts!! ( unreal hey) as an entrepreneur and b...

After a week of meetings to plan for 2018 -I had assumed that I would be taking notes and making plans on what was to be...and we all know what they say when we assume!! Yup - instead I had a week full of excuses nothing but stories as to why things could not get done or would not get done. I was floored - it brought back memories of myself saying the exact same things. The TRUTH - the REAL TALK i...

So so many times I have been guilty of just RUSHING through this amazing 😉 journey we are blessed to be on called life- yup I've been like let's just get there, or we only have this many minutes so let's get this all done ✅ as quick as we can.... rushing past all the beauty- the amazing moments and memories just to try and fit it all in?? WTF was I 🤔 thinking 💭 there is birth and death and it'...

Vacation use to mean to me a time to just forget about "real life" or reality and I was free to do with myself what ever the phuck I wanted - from drinking eating and sleeping - and guess what I made horribly poor food 🥘 drink 🍹 and sleep 😴 choices. The other is running around on fast forward to take everything in - in such a short time -Which meant many many things for my body mind and soul. T...

As I drove to a meeting at 630 am this morning- I stopped at a red light beside a fast food 🥘 spot where back in the day - my business partner and I use to eat errrrrrr morning- I was addicted to these breakfast sandwiches- 😳 for real!! I sat parked and took awareness to how that smell sparked or triggered a memory that was attached to an emotion of ..... being happy 😊 and how if I was still in...
