Failure Is Our Friend

Failure Is Our Friend

Failure is our friend because it teaches us what not to do.

A good friend tells us the truth even when it’s hard to hear, which is exactly what failure does. Failure gives us a dose of reality when we need it.

That’s why I’m grateful for the good and the bad in life. I appreciate the good for what it is and I appreciate the “bad” for providing me an opportunity to learn and grow.

Don’t procrastinate taking action due to a fear of failure! Be willing to go through the process of progress!

Even though I’m still early in my process, trust me it’s already proven to be worth it.

I hope this message inspires you to take action and make the most of today and this week! Happy Monday!

Happiness

Happiness

How do you know you’re in the “good ‘ol days” when you’re still in them?
Perspective.

10 years from now are you going to regret taking a chance or never knowing what could’ve been?

Don’t let fear of failure or judgement stop you from living life to the fullest.
Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one so it’s important we make the most of the moment.

How can we do that?
Smile😊
Laugh😂
Sing🎤
Dance🕺
Spend time with loved ones❤️

I’m taking my own advice, I just got back from a sunrise at the beach as I’m writing this and within the next two weeks I am going parasailing and skydiving!

I hope this is the start of a great week for you, HAPPY MONDAY!

When Life Becomes Too Much

When Life Becomes Too Much

What can we do when life becomes too much? When you are overwhelmed, lost, confused and don’t know where to turn?

Here are some coping skills that have worked for me:
- Smile
- Shut phone off
- Splash cold water on my face
- Text Loved Ones
- Do Push-ups
- Deep breathe
- Go for a walk
- Go for a drive
- Journal
- Read
- Send Fam/Friend/IG nice message
- Listen to music
- Shower
- Play with my cat
- Check “happy album” photos

Hopefully some of these can be helpful for you next time you feel overwhelmed.
(Thanks again for 2,000 plays!)

HAPPY MONDAY!!!

I’m Done Hiding

I’m Done Hiding

The best gifts I have ever given myself are the truth and the freedom to fail.

I am full of fears and flaws just like everyone else, but I’m done hiding. I’m learning to own my insecurities. I no longer let them dictate my self worth or stop me from taking action. (Mostly)

The truth and freedom to fail have set me free. They allow me to be me and not just a masked version, the real me.

If you want to truly grow and create a better life for yourself:
1. Be honest with yourself and
2. Allow yourself to fail!

I’m so grateful for all of you, thank you for the love and support you show me it really does means the world to me!😊

I hope you had a great Mother’s Day weekend and I hope today is the start to a great week for you!
Happy Monday!

Money is not what matters most.
Status is not what matters most.
What others think of us is not what matters most.

Peace of mind and happiness is what matters most and falling in love with the process and positive perspective is what gets us there.

My love for the process of improvement as well as my perspective on my ups and downs is why I have been able to make so much progress in my life.

I hope you are able to experience the same progress I’ve had in your own life and I hope my podcast can help you get there.

As always I’m wishing you and your loved ones hope, health and happiness!
Happy Monday!

Go With The Flow

Go With The Flow

Let’s focus on being the change we wish to see in the world today.

Spread peace, love and positivity energy.

Even something as simple as just smiling at someone can make their day.

And if you yourself are struggling right now, don’t wait for someone else to come along and help you smile. Do your best to find the strength to smile on your own (even if you don’t feel like it because even though it won’t solve problems it can improve your mood which is a start)

I hope you and your loved ones stay safe, happy and healthy and have a week full of hope and happiness!

HAPPY MONDAY!

I’m Not Okay 03.22.21

I’m Not Okay 03.22.21

“You start to write about your life and while they’re all relatin’
You’ll make up a slogan, call it real but feel like you’re the fakest.”- NF, Nate

“I always say to anyone who’s fake that I’d punch ‘em in the jaw
So I’m hitting myself cause I’m the fakest of em all” -Crypt, I’m not okay

These are two parts from songs I listen to that represent what I’m going through lately.

I’m the most productive I’ve ever been, breaking PRs in the gym and I’m the best version of myself...yet I don’t feel good enough. I don’t feel like I’m being real.

This episode was difficult to make, but I did my best to be real. It would mean a lot to me if you took the time to listen. I hope someone can relate. I hope you enjoy.

As always I’m wishing you and your loved ones hope, health and happiness.
