  • Listening to Yourself First

    Listening to Yourself First
    Jun 11 2024
    Listening to Yourself First Growing up, I was an energetic, enthusiastic, and excitable child. I never let a day go by without challenging something - usually with my mouth. Thanks to those responsible for turning me into a good person, I learned a valuable lesson when they said- “Listen twice as much as you speak. You have two ears and one mouth for a reason.” You’ve heard that before, and in today’s fast-paced world, knowing when to put a zipper on your lips is critical. But I’ve also learned to take that advice to a new level to get what I want. I call it going “Dark.” When you go “Dark,” you have chosen to listen to others less. Yes, you are still listening, caring, and interacting with those around you. You’ve decided to listen to yourself twice as much instead. The world we live in today makes it seem as though it’s impossible to get what you want without others. There are endless hours of interacting, Googling, ZOOMing, Texting, and more. It’s as if we’ve lost permission to think and do for ourselves. We can’t move forward without the social approval of those around us when the exact opposite is true. Something extraordinary happens when you give yourself space to listen to yourself more. Your creative mind and talents flourish—your positive energy rebounds. You feel more present and find more meaning in your life. Going “Dark” makes your life brighter, and good stuff happens. When you take the time to slip away into your own space, you develop into the person you were meant to be. Removing yourself from the buzz of the world gives you a new kind of energy. And you do it without anybody’s permission or without anybody knowing. When you emerge, everybody will notice that you are different. They will listen when you speak, seek your advice, and be attracted to you in a new way. Who knew that listening twice as much as you speak works even better when you listen to yourself twice as much as you listen to others? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • How to Make the Law of Attraction Work for You

    How to Make the Law of Attraction Work for You
    Jun 6 2024
    How to Make the Law of Attraction Work for You I've always believed the Law of Attraction should be called Law of What You Think About Most. Like attracts like. What you think about, you get. If you think, "I won't get it because I never do" - you are correct. Dreaming of a new life while focusing on your current problems is a sure way to keep spinning your wheels. The trick is to focus your attention and actions on what you want to attract. That will require a dedicated effort. Vision Boards, lists of Goals, daily journaling are all great ways to stay on track. The Law of What You Think about is magical and straightforward — Decide what you want. Believe it is possible. Focus on the future, not the past. Don't stop until you get it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Starting Over

    Starting Over
    Jun 5 2024
    Starting Over What actions would you take if forced to start over again? Here’s what I would do: 1) Get absolute clarity and focus. What ONE thing do you want your life and lifestyle to be? 2) Confirm your WHY. Success takes time. Long-lasting success isn’t guaranteed. Owning a strong WHY will allow you the flexibility to persevere forever. 3) Clear the clutter. You can’t move forward with the weight of your past on your shoulders. Debt? Bad relationships? Health issues? Fix them and move on. 4) Take control of your schedule and your time. Of everything you own, time is your most valuable asset. Don’t squander it. 5) Massive Imperfect Action. You will never be stuck as long as you keep shaking the trees. Do something. Anything. Notice your results. Do it again. Do it until you get what you want. It’s not about learning more. It’s about taking control of the basics and using what you already know. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    How to Discover What's Blocking You
    Jun 4 2024
    How to Discover What's Blocking You If you find yourself spinning your wheels, remember this - You must know where you are before going where you want to be. It's time to inventory your life as it exists today. Examining your finances, jobs, relationships, responsibilities, and dreams for a few hours can be eye-opening. It's also the only way to deal with many of the demons that hold us back. It can be scary to dig into the dark corners of your life. But I promise, when you shine a light on everything you don't want to see, you'll find yourself free and able to move toward your dreams. I'll repeat it.

  • Caring What People Think is Holding You Back

    Caring What People Think is Holding You Back
    Jun 3 2024
    Caring What People Think is Holding You Back Do you know anything about other people? Not a week passes without us hearing about somebody who did something out of character and caught us off guard. The truth is, none of us know about anybody else, and nobody knows about us. So, have you ever wondered how this knowledge can empower you? Are you dreaming of doing something different? Do you have a case of "Whatwilleverybodythinkaboutmeitis?" It's time to get over it. Nobody in the world knows your true inner self. They only see what you present. If you're getting pushback, it's because of what you've been presenting. Change that, and everything else changes.

  • It’s Time To Be a Good Quitter

    It’s Time To Be a Good Quitter
    May 31 2024
    It’s Time To Be a Good Quitter Has anybody ever said to you, "it's good to be a quitter?” Probably Not. That’s why it’s so important today that you pay attention today. Being a good quitter isn’t an excuse. It should never be an option for making things easier. Instead, quitting is a wise choice. You choose to quit when your progress has you going around in circles or has stopped. That's when things get interesting. Once you are committed to an idea that is important to you, can be difficult to allow yourself to quit. Stuck in a lousy job, terrible relationship, destructive behavior? Your internal sense of "Identity" will compel you to hold to the very end. That may not be wise. Listen closely when your inner-voice begins to sound a warning. There's no need to wait for the inevitable. Trust your gut and change your direction fast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
