Challenge Time. Quit saying I so much.
In this episode, I share facts on why you should not use the word "I" as much in daily conversations. No one wants to sounds insecure or in pain, but what we say in our daily speech might actually give the vibe that we are those such traits. Take a listen and hear for yourself.
Unlock Your Superpower
Learning to not care what others' think will help you become a better and healthier version. We had the gift once to not be consumed, and we need to rediscover the tool. I give a short list of how and why you must unlock your superpower in this episode.
Attack the Day, Don't Let the Day Attack You!!
I give steps to help you gain the offensive in life and to not let life run you over. Attacking the day is more simple than you might think. Learn how to be on offensive with peace instead of always being on defensive filled with stress.
Sense of Touch (Feelings)
Quit living life through the entertainment of a visual aid. Go out and feel and experience life with the sense of touch. In doing so, your sense of touch can help you overcome any internal feelings.
Live for Today's Truths, not Tomorrow's Promises
Do not live for something that may or may not happen. Rather, live for what you know will happen today. Stay in the present without wishing the time away.
The Power of Saying No
We all fall into the trap of saying "Yes" to everything and everyone, however those "yeses" are shallow and juvenile. When we learn to say "No," we show signs of growth to put away things that can harm us. Learn why you should say "No" for the sake of freedom and maturity.
Focus on the Results and not the Restrictions!
Life will always throw obstacles at us from every direction. Our minds want to dwell on the negative problems, however a mental shift towards refocusing on the results and gains will allow us to live with purpose and more opportunities.
Who is writing your histroy?
I use two notorious examples of the importance of why you must be in charge of your own life to ensure the legacy that you leave is written by you. Do not let life or circumstances write your story but be in charge of your life!
What has 2020 given you?
Instead of seeing everything that this wild year has taken from you, I hope this episode encourages you to reflect and see what the hidden blessings that year has given you.
Remove the Mask!!
I am not talking about a mask that keeps us safe from the coronavirus, but the mask of selfishness that destroys us. Masks blocks our view from others and ourselves.
Damaged people are dangerous, they know they can survive!
Life is not fair and has left many people damaged. Those wounds are experiences that will help you take on any challenge. This episode we take a look an a famous historical figure, we had self-inflicted damage but rose far beyond what people thought possible. You have the same potential to rise up.
Don't Change the Cycle, Change the Linear!
Our negative past will be a guiding force if we do not change our way of life and thinking. I use an example of what being in the cycle looks like and the person realizes it and eventually jumps out of a boat into open water so his life changes into the linear for a brighter future. Don't be stuck in a circle with no escape, when you can move forward in the freedom of the linear.
Are you a Starter or a Finisher?
To many of us are either a starter with dreams but have unfinished projects lying around or are finishers, who are great at accomplishing a goal but are to scared to start because of fear. This episodes describes what it means to be a starter or a finisher in life and why we need to learn to become what we are not to move Forward.
Breathe!
This show talks about the spiritual and mental benefits to breathing. Breathing does more than just fill our lungs full of air.
Be Kind, not Nice!
We have been taught at an early age to be nice to others but being nice is not genuine. We need to be kind! Check out this great example of kindness and see the difference why we should be kind and not nice.
It's In The Details
Life is like home projects that the little details can be overlooked and determine the quality of your character. Take a few moments and see where your life needs attention for yourself and the community around you!
Final for Technology in Classroom
I recorded a podcast to share what resources I found valuable in creating a modern classroom. I do not want to be a teacher that bores my students but engages them into wanting to learn. The internet is filled with awesome tools that I preview and plan on using when I teach.
Painting a House:Try Something New!
When was the last time you tried something new and challenging? Two years ago, my wife wanted to change the colors of our exterior color on our two-story home. I finally took the challenge on and learned a skill and gained an accomplishment. I believe you can do anything you want to if you just try with a little research!!
Pandemic: It's a Season, not a Crisis!
The world is in a state of panic and rightfully so, because of the unknown of Covid-19. This podcast walks through pandemics that struck the world throughout history. At the end, I layout a few lessons that can be learned at looking at pandemics at a 30,000 foot view.
How to Find Motivation
In the podcast Change the Narrative by Michael Hernandez, he interviews Dan Ryder and asks the question, "How do you find inspiration?" I gave a synopsis of what I learned and took away from this great podcast. I hope your enjoy it as much as I did. Forward to better things!!
Conquering Fear
For a school project, I was challenged to listen to the podcast Change the Narrative by Michael Hernandez titled "What are You Afraid Of?" He interviews Sabba Quidwai, and they talk about fear and how to try new things. I give a cliff note summary and takeaways from things that I found valuable and encouraging that is going to move me forward in my life.
