So unfortunately most people turn to unhealthy patterns and behaviors and buffering. Listen to this episode to learn what you can do and how to do it and why you must!

None of us knows our exact destiny. But our actions and habits most definitely open or close doors along our path. What you and I do day in and day out will determine whether we are prepared or not to take advantage of opportunities that come our way

I recently returned from a life-changing adventure in Mongolia. While I was there I learned several great lessons that have really impacted my life and remind me about the things that really matter. These are the things that matter for all of us and can change your life too!

Many developing countries struggle with corrupt infrastructure. No clean water, electricity is a hit and miss, a garbage or sewage system is needed and an internet connection can be even harder to access. One rainstorm and the power is out for weeks. Now let's apply this on a smaller level... How is our own Infrastructure? What are we missing? Some of us are like developing countries, we are missing a few systems. Some light rain on our day and the rest of our afternoon is spoiled because of our bad attitude. A good question to ask yourself is ' What is the point of me living in a developed country when I am underdeveloped?' What are we doing to develop ourselves? To become more efficient? There are areas in our lives we can all work on, what are some big key attributes or emotions we need to work on? Here are some resources to help you develop yourself: Creating the Life You WANT to Live G.O.A.L. -- Get Out And Live! Bibliotherapy: The #1 Habit of Uber-Successful People How to Totally Transform Your Life Bef

Too many of us are living lives of bondage, slavery and dependence! But we were born to be free! In fact, it’s impossible for us to reach our full potential when we are living in bondage. So today is your day to declare independence from the things that are holding you back!

Every day we are building our life with the things we focus on and give our time and attention to. Unfortunately, many of us are building Sandcastles that will wash away with the tide. In this episode, you’ll learn how to become more aware of your choices and their outcomes and realize what unconscious choices have been causing problems in your life.

There can be no real achievement without sacrifice but unfortunately most people are sacrificing the wrong things. So even if they achieve their goals, they are left without fulfillment and genuine satisfaction. In this episode I share the things that we must sacrifice and the things that we must never sacrifice

Think about any problem in your life. Then ask yourself if it would be better or different if your skill set were 10 times better. Everything in life is influenced by our skills, or lack there of. This includes things that we usually don’t think are influenced or affected by our skills, like marriage, relationships, health and of course finances.

Your heart set is your emotional power plant! Whether you are aware of it or not, whether you control it or not it generates tremendous amount of power and force in your life for good or for ill. The vast majority of our emotional troubles are the result of poor emotional management.

Every important aspect of our lives it’s affected by these three critical elements. In fact, look at any problem you are currently stuck in, andin and you’ll find a lack in one of these three areas. Part 1 is all about mindset and how you can transform your mindset to get the results you want in your life.

All of us are living far below our full potential. Your unique potential is like an entire continent completely unexplored and full of resources. As we get our lives in order and follow the progression through Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs we can then seek and pursue self actualization and reach for your full potential!

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - Esteem: Respect, Status, Recognition, Strength and Freedom. Strength: That's Real strength comes from within - but includes physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually etc.  Are you doing things that strengthen you or weaken you in your everyday life?  When you say you are getting up at 6AM and then the first thing you do when you wake up is press the snooze button.  Don't break your commitments to yourself. Freedom: Being in a free country doesn't do you any good if you are a slave to yourself, your vices and your weaknesses.  How many problems are self inflicted?  The biggest thing you can do to take away your own freedom is becoming captured by addictions.  Can't get off the screen (Instagram, Facebook, video games) pornography, drug abuse - the list goes on.  What are things in your life that limit you from spending time on making yourself better?  When you have an addiction, don't give up.  Look at Maslow's triangle and get t

What things are we doing that are completely unnecessary and robbing us of life? Do we get upset too easily? Too much screen time? Keeping up with the Jones? Are we prioritizing the wrong things? Here we are at the third tier of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs: Love and Belonging.  This includes Friendship, intimacy, family and sense of connection.  >>In order to thrive, we have to love and be loved.  Don't put up walls, you have to be a little vulnerable.  Don't let the fear of loosing a connection keep you at a distance from everyone.  Learn and grow, don't let it stunt you.  You can reach a new level of relationship you didn't even know was out there. Understand that there are new levels to reach that maybe you have never had or seen before that are wonderful. The limit of your current skill set doesn't mean that 'thats just the way things are.'  Thankfully there are better things to come that we don't know about yet - but we are the only ones who can get that for ourse

The next level of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs is safety needs.   So many people get stuck on this level too - they could be free if only they knew they were enslaved.  These are the areas in our life that we need to keep in order, what are some ways that they are thrown out of balance? Resources:  Your greatest resource is your ability to be resourceful! Your own ability to accomplish and achieve.  There are people out there who are highly capable of amazing things. However, they have a deadly Achilles heel.  A situation or problem that they can't handle and it ends up getting them.  Make sure you have those resources that help you get back on your feet. Whether its people or an outlet, keep on your toes! Employment:  Obviously having an income is key to surviving.  Going deeper than that what is crisis in employment?  Perhaps when we start to doubt your worth or abilities.  That can happen when we aren't feeling fulfilled in our jobs or roles.  What

What is the purpose of life? To pursue your potential in every area of your life. Maslow's Hierarchy of need:  Different steps you need to have in order for you to eventually be in a successful state to reach your potential.  Physiological Needs like food, water, shelter, clothes and sleep. Most of us pass this one off immediately, but look closer... Food: What quality of food are you putting into your body?  Is it junk food? Eating unhealthy food prevents you from having more energy.  It slows you down, you get out of shape and it simply is terrible for you! Eating healthy food where you know whats in it, will help you get into shape, get energy, feel powerful and confident. Sleep: How much sleep are you getting? As parents of young kids or students, it is common to have nights where we don't get much.  Nonetheless, even with a rough night you can still get up and have energy to get things done.  When you are able to lay day and get some rest, have it be quality sleep. &n

"We do not rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training." - Archilochus  We automatically become who we do not want to be as human beings. How?  By never moving away from default.  When somebody provokes us, we react and get angry.  When things don't go how we wanted them to we get frustrated.  When somebody is rude, we are rude back.  This is our automatic reaction to many different situations in life.  By default we become who we do not want to be.   To rise from that, you have to be deliberate!  You have to learn how to make calmness your reaction when someone is angry at you.  Walk the higher road. We want to be outstanding above the normal roads everyone takes.  We have to set goals, make our self do hard things to be better and tougher.  Input = output.  What actions are we taking to make ourselves better?  Do we know what we are going to work on every single day?  We should have stressful times, then recovery - over and over again.  We reach higher and higher until we can

When people are cruel, they are just passing on the degradation in themselves.  On the other hand, when people are kind, they are passing on the goodness in themselves.  Be generous make a difference, there is always a way to be kind to others. While the Dennings were in Costa Rica, money was tight.  Even though they were in a tough spot, they saw others who were living in an even worse condition. What could they do to help?  They got friends back in the states to donate hundred of books for this villages school!  They made a bookshelf and had become close to a specific family living there.  Greg and Rachel had gotten a few really nice books they wanted them to read, as soon as he handed them to this family, the mother started shouting at the neighbors to come and see.  Greg was astonished, he didn't have anymore books and didn't necessarily want everyone to know that he had just given out a special few.  He asked her why she immediately wanted to share?  The mothe

Accomplishing hard things is a huge blessing in life.  It is way better to do hard things than to be sheltered and never step foot into the unknown.  Tough life thoughts: Sometimes life isn't hard, we have just gotten weak.   If we makes ourselves sheltered and avoid hard experiences then when little things come, we fall apart.  Like going for a five mile run when you are out of shape.  Five miles isn't long, most people can do it even at a slow pace - but when you are out of shape it's a lot harder to do then if you were fit.  So the same is with life. When life gets easy, choose challenges! People who are tough have learned how to endure. Here is another analogy:  Say you have some friends that cant swim, as soon as they can no longer touch the bottom, it becomes life threatening.  For those who can swim, it's a normal fun day at the pool.  Though lets say we were dropped three miles offshore, would we probably would need to be picked up.  For a profess

 There are a lot of good books, experiences and places that you could go to learn about the way some people live.  Those experiences can be tough, those books can be harsh and the places can be very dark.   You shouldn't live in ignorance but some things you avoid.  There is a book called Left to Tell, about the terrible tribal wars in Africa.  It is a book that opened up understanding for those people, but its a really tough read.  Understand those around you that maybe you don't know a whole lot about. There are refugees all around the world, they are getting nearer and nearer, maybe we should read up on their culture and lifestyle.  How can we expand our world view to help those around us? Don't stick your head in the sand and be oblivious to whats going on outside of your circle.  Because our world view and understanding is so limited, it brings about prejudices and racism.  If we understood the desperate people, those who are ignorant and uneducated, I think a
