In this episode let’s talk about the thing that sets us apart as humans. What is it? Well, we have a unique ability to HOPE. Hope is not just wishing something good will happen. “I hope dinner will be good,” or “I hope this movie will be worth all the time we’re spending.” Hope is far more than this.

The hope I want us to remember and wake up to, is the trusting faith that lets us know there is more available to us. An action-based certainty that makes us light on fire and do great things. As this illness sweeps across the world and upends our normal life, let’s come out of this with renewed hope in our common humanity and our ability and conviction to be better as people.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about an old and familiar radio station: WIIFM or What’s In It for ME? Most of the time, we start from that question – even if we don’t say it out loud. In a time of crisis like this, it becomes easier to remember our humanity and find some love in our hearts.

So what? What if we decide that this event is a trigger and we change how we do things? Lots of talk about “getting back to normal.” What if we create a new normal? What if we decide it is better to remember our connectedness all the time instead of only when disaster strikes. Take this opportunity to change just one thing about how you view life. Pick it now.

In this episode, we will explore what it means to be connected. Today we are more connected than ever. More gear, more devices, faster internet and more of everything. At the same time, there is more isolation, more loneliness, more depression, and more separation.

What does it mean to be connected, and to what? Start by being connected to yourself. Who are you really? Take the time to be still and alone so you can connect with your true self. Then take time to connect with those who matter to you and to the meaning and purpose of life that matter to you. This pandemic has created and will create reflection on what is truly important.

In this episode, we look at the worldwide need to hunker down or to hideaway. Right now, we’re all trying to avoid getting sick. There is a new virus in town, and we all need to take precautions to stay safe. When a bear gets ready for the winter, it feeds and feeds to store up fat for the long winter ahead. That way, it is prepared to hibernate until the hostile weather is past.

What is the way to deal with the present situation? More importantly, since we really know that we will get past this situation, we also know that the world isn’t going to end. What can this situation teach us about how to go forward after it is finished? It is time to re-examine our practices and let this situation teach us.

In this episode, I’d like to talk about making things, following a recipe. Recipes are the instructions that we follow to combine ingredients. What are the ingredients for Your Ultimate Life? “Your Ultimate Life” is a purpose-driven life, centered around doing good with your divine nature and gifts.

I have lived pursuing only my own wants and it is a lonely and ultimately sad road. When I finally figured out that the secret sauce of life is love and caring for others, I realized that I had the recipe for lasting happiness. Choosing to focus on adding good to the world is the real recipe for the Ultimate life. What will you choose? Listen and drink deeply of your own thoughts and choices.

In this episode, we discuss the tendency that we have to pay way too much attention to what others are doing. You’ve heard the expression “stay in your own lane.” This is similar, but, I’m going to discuss choosing your own lane. Keeping up with the Jones’s is a disease that serves no one, except perhaps the retailer that makes money because we buy things we don’t need.
You are a unique person and have your own gifts and talents. Remember that and act like it.

If you suffer from excessive people-pleasing, or from a need for external approval, it is easy to get lost looking for that next pat on the back. You are much happier and better to make your mark when you choose your own lane and create the life and legacy that you think is good.

Coming up in the next episode… Recipes. What? Are we cooking… yes, but, not food. See you next time.

In this episode, let’s talk about love. Not making out on the park bench or in the backseat, but genuine caring for another person sacrifice your own comfort kind of love. There are many things that drive our behavior, and often we think about what we are getting from a transaction.

Love is the most powerful emotion. It drives the most action and causes the most heroic feats of sacrifice and service. What does this have to do with the Ultimate Life? Everything… If you start your day and your purpose with love, you will be happier, make more money, serve more people and have a giant piece of your Ultimate Life™ firmly in place.

Next episode will focus on what to do to stay in your own lane…no, we’re not driving, but, staying in your virtual lane – your lane of life.

In episode 3, I talk about the differences between those who are always thinking about what they want and those who are mindful of what they have. While this may seem like a simple distinction, you’ll find that therein lies the magic of happiness and prosperity.

Those who are always “wanting,” focus on lack and the absence of things, people or feelings in life. They miss entirely the blessings of gratitude and contentment. Knowing what you have is the way to absolute happiness and prosperity. It is also the best way to create even more abundance than you already have. Imagine that. Remembering what you have is the ticket to getting more.

In this podcast, we’re going to explore the two types of people that there are: victims and owners.
Victims are those people who blame everything in their lives on external circumstances. The government, the economy, bad luck, bad partners, bad family relations. Anyone and anything but themselves.

Owners may have the same things happen in their lives as victims, but they see it differently. Instead of blaming and complaining, they look to what is available to create. They find ways around obstacles and paths forward in difficulty. It all comes down to how you choose to approach life. How do you show up every day in your life? Are you a victim, or an owner?
