Ep #159 - Judgment Revisited

Today we are going back to where it all started. . . with episode one on judgment.  This episode honestly came about because I was the most judgmental person I knew. . .and I wanted to do better.  A life of fulfillment and freedom is one without the need for judgment.

 

This episode is just fun.  It starts with how I think about judgment now and thoughts about that initial episode. . . followed by the original episode.  I look forward to hearing what you think.

Ep#157 - Holding Yourself (More) Accountable

Wake up early.

Develop that idea for something new.

Exercise.

Eat better.

Sit down and write.

 

How often do you say you will do something. . . and then do it?  For many high achievers, we follow through when we are accountable to someone else.  If it’s for ourselves, it gets postponed.

 

Today’s episode is about creating strong commitments to yourself AND following through.  We’ll explore the barriers to staying accountable, update the language that you use to stay focused, and build more belief that this is achievable.  Staying accountable to yourself leads to higher levels of freedom and fulfillment. . . the ingredients for an unstoppable life.

Ep# 154 - What Surprises You?

So spending 50ish years on this planet may have given some insight to ourselves and the humans around us.  Some lessons came from our families, some our friends, others from the not so friendly.  Those lessons could be good or bad or somewhere in between.  Come join us as Craig and I reflect on what we have learned and what has surprised us in that learning.

Ep# 153 - You Are Made for More

Do you feel you are not normal - not like those around you?  Do you feel that there is something missing in the day to day of our busy life?  How do you accomplish being more?  Today we are going to discuss our place in the world as we see it.  As we explore and work to be better, we will look at our need to stay focused, see the great picture of who we are, and many other concepts of who we are and how we can get there.  It all starts with the idea that we are made for more.
