10 Questions That Will Change You Jun 27, 2024

10 Questions That Will Change You

Long ago, I realized that life is nothing more than a giant scavenger hunt. Yes, life is full of questions, and it’s long enough for you to figure out all the essential answers. And the winners are the people who figure out the solution you seek.

Here are a few that I use regularly to get me thinking:

1) What do you want to do?

2) What do you want to have?

3) Where do you want to go?

4) What contribution do you want to make?

5) What do you want to become?

6) What do you want to learn?

7) Who do you want to spend my time with?

8) How much money do you want to earn, save, and invest?

9) How much time do you want off?

10) What will you do to create optimum health?

I’ll repeat it. Life is full of questions, and it’s long enough for you to figure out all the essential answers. It’s time to get busy.

4 Simple Questions To Find Your Passion

If I could help you figure out your passion and purpose with four simple questions — would you answer them?

Let's get right to it.

I think your mind is about to explode!

1) What can I spend my time doing that causes me to lose track of myself and time?

2) What sort of activities do I spend money to participate in?

3) What areas of my life do I fear judgment?

4) What makes my heart race?

Answering those four questions is like looking into a mirror and seeing the truth come out of your mouth.

Daily Awareness Diary Jun 25, 2024

Daily Awareness Diary

Over the last few months, you’ve heard me mention my prompted Daily Awareness Diary and the fantastic results it’s getting for my Face Your Passion coaching members.

I thought I would share the template we’re using.

Before I begin, I want you to understand that this process is about becoming aware of your present life and using that awareness to have more passion and purpose.

The prompted format is intended to produce consistent information you can mine later to learn more about yourself.

If you need more information on how to use this template, listen to today’s Daily Boost Podcast.

Here are the prompts we answer every day:

How was yesterday through the lens of Retrospection

How was yesterday through the lens of Prospection

How do I want to feel?

What am I praying for

Who am I praying for?

Who do I want to connect with?

What are the Pre-Planned Responses I need today?

What’s my Conclusion as I finish today’s diary?

What Personal Affirmation can I create from today’s diary?

Exploring What’s Possible Jun 24, 2024

Exploring What’s Possible

I’ve spent the last couple of days saying things like —

“What do you do when you are doing you, and your purpose is to find your purpose?”

Now, I realize that something so simple is also something most people will ignore.

I also realized that for some people, as soon they begin reading and realize they’ve already heard it, tune out and open the next email.

That’s unfortunate.

Studies have long ago proven that repetition is the Mother of all skills. Yes, it takes time to learn new things and master them. But getting a new skill is not the value of repetition — it’s the doors it opens.

When you opened my email yesterday, you were a different person than now. And tomorrow you will be different than you will be by the end of the week.

As you explore your day, you’ll figure out what doesn’t work, lock in what does, and update your worldview. You will see things differently.

The wisdom you collect will transform your personality as you explore your life and you will begin becoming the person you are meant to be.

Of course, this should be no surprise since you’ve been doing it your entire life.

But what if you purposefully did it every day?

What if you chose to purposefully explore all the possibilities of your life in hope that it will lead to your destination?

What if you explored the possibilities with full faith and trust that you are following your path, the correct path, and the one that will lead you to everything you desire?

It’s not a what IF. It’s what IS.

It’s your choice to make that happen.

Are You Comfortably Miserable? Jun 21, 2024

Show notes

Are You Comfortably Miserable?

Are you living a life of comfortable misery?

It's easy to settle into day-to-day that is different from what you want. It's not bad. It's not good.

Are you making barely enough income to be comfortable but still struggle?

Is your job okay but not inspiring?

Are your relationships fine but not fueling your dreams?

Most folks are living comfortably miserably. Don't let that be you.

Change your path now. Decide to accept nothing less than exactly what you want. Stand up, take a step, and repeat. The rest will work itself out. That's a promise.

Blow Things Up With Creative Destruction Jun 20, 2024

Blow Things Up With Creative Destruction

Do you ever feel like a thousand things must line up before you can get what you want?

It is safer to wait until the stars align before taking your next step toward your goals. Maintaining momentum can also be exhausting — if not impossible.

Another choice is to blow things up, tear things down, and blast away what you don't want using Creative Destruction.

Think of 'creative Destruction' as renovating an old kitchen. Instead of spending months on futile repairs, remove what's obstructing your path and create a direct route to your dreams.

Don't accept what is stopping you. Turn on your creativity and figure out a way to sidestep the problem. Start to build something new.

Standing In Cement? Jun 19, 2024

Standing In Cement?

If you’re going to drive across a bridge, it’s best if there is a solid foundation on both sides.

The same happens when crossing a symbolic bridge to the next chapter in your life. Having a solid foundation on both sides is the goal.

But what happens when you get stuck in your foundation before you cross?

It’s common for folks to build such a solid foundation in their current life that it becomes difficult to move forward.

You are stuck in your comfort zone.

If you’re happy, the bills are paid, and everything is okay - what’s the incentive to shake things up?

Well -

The only way to live the life you’ve always wanted is to believe in your WHY and take your first step as soon as you can see the other side.

Yes, it can be scary. However, staying where you are for the rest of your life is also scary.

Keep what you have and get what you want. That’s the goal.

Life With No Limitations and No Consequences Jun 18, 2024

Show notes

Life With No Limitations and No Consequences

What if everything you did today came with no limitations and good consequences?

What could you do with your life?

Limitations can be helpful. Staying within speed limits keeps you from getting tickets. That's good.

Limiting yourself to a job that doesn't serve you? That's bad.

Fear of change usually creates limitations. Or is it the fear of bad consequences?

What would happen if all consequences were good?

Asking someone on a date may cause fear and hold you back. That all goes away the instant you hear, "Yes!"

Reach for the good!

Roll through your day believing that you are ten feet tall and bulletproof.

Anything is possible!

Focus on What’s Important

Are you the kind of person who is always running around putting out fires—fires you set?

I think it is time we took away your matches and lighter fluid.

Keep these tips in mind:

1) If your life is non-stop drama, stress, and craziness, there is a good chance that YOU are the cause. There is also a good chance you won’t see it that way.

2) Living with your hair on fire will keep you so busy you will spend years wondering why you can’t get what you want.

3) When you STOP doing anything that results in more craziness, you will find that life is pretty quiet. That’s when good stuff begins to happen.

It’s a Universal truth.

You are 100% in charge of every action you take. Choose good ones. It makes life more fun.

Accepting Your Passion Jun 14, 2024

Accepting Your Passion

No matter what activities that you do in life, the goal of every road you travel should lead to happiness. After all, we don’t pursue ambitions so that we can be unhappy - right?

With that in mind, your journey will be more pleasant and the outcome more predictable if you:

1) Begin by accepting WHO you are right now. It’s okay to desire change, but you begin where you are today.

2) Clearly understand WHAT you are doing when you are authentically being YOU. The core of who you are is not likely to change. More likely, you are seeking to get back to your real self.

3) Decide when you will start living your passion day-to-day. There’s no need to wait. It begins the instant you choose.

Accepting your passion and deciding to make it a day-to-day reality will make today the best day of your life.
